The worst album covers of all time made me miss the good old times of record shops. These books, however, just scare me. They scare me because, with the advent of personal digital book publishing, things are probably going to get even worse.
So, that “holographic” (it’s not really a hologram!) performance from long-dead rapper Tupac Shakur sure was a talking point. I think many people’s problem with it was the fact it was part of some weird half-real rap show.
World of Warcraft, Left 4 Dead, Tomb Raider… Avid Kotaku readers (and/or consumers of adult entertainment) know that actual porn parody movies exist for these video game franchises. But what if your tastes run to Ezio, Samus or, um, Rayman? These characters don’t have films but one digital artist has made up fake DVDs covers for these characters’ would-be sexploits.
Mercenary outfit Blackwater has been accused of some pretty terrible things during its time operating as a “security contractor” in Iraq. Something captured in these shocking videos.

Athene is quite a character for a player. He rose to a certain kind of internet fame thanks to World of Warcraft, declaring himself the World’s Best Paladin. After leaving WoW, he moved on to Starcraft II, and in recent months he’s taken to League of Legends.
Konami’s 1992 arcade game X-Men featured five of the most popular mutants to ever wear the X: Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm and Nightcrawler. Oh yeah, and that roller-skating disco singer.
Nintendo 3DS game Senran Kagura featured large breasts because the game’s creator really wanted to see boobs in 3D. With that as a starting point, you can already imagine what sort of illustrations the game can inspire.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link briefly exchanged the series’ fairy-based healing mechanics with an going into a house with a strange woman and coming out healed feature. I’ve always assumed the worst. Dorkly does too, only they make it awkward for everyone.
