Tron, Without The Icky Computer Graphics [Clips]
via Kotaku by Michael McWhertor on March 28, 2008
Having seen Tron at the drive-in as a wee lad, part of a double feature—it was paired with the pimps and prostitute-filled Vice Squad!—the craptastic Disney flick will always have a place in my heart. The fan-made version, a decidedly lo-fi affair, only makes the whole thing more endearing. It's cute as a button and makes me wish I had a copy of Tron to watch right now. It also makes me...

The King Of Kong Is Now On DVD. If you missed ... [Hollywood]
via Kotaku by Michael McWhertor on January 29, 2008
The King Of Kong Is Now On DVD. If you missed the theatrical release of the Donkey Kong score-off documentary The King of Kong, you now have a chance to catch it on DVD. The film, which chronicles the high score struggles of chronic weeper Steve Wiebe and the dastardly tactics of the ultra-patriotic Billy Mitchell can probably be had from fine retailers and/or Netflix as of today. It's a...

via Kotaku by Luke Plunkett on February 01, 2008
This Portal/M.C. Escher mashup is the work of an anonymous 4Chan poster. So your thanks and praise will have to be directed towards the heavens. But man oh man is that one glorious piece of fan art. The concise version is above, but if you're after a new desktop, a full-size version's after the jump. [click to enlarge]Thanks Josh!

No Nazis For Lego Indiana Jones [LEGO Indiana Jones]
via Kotaku by Luke Plunkett on February 09, 2008
The upcoming Lego Indiana Jones will, of course, feature cute, adorable little Indiana Jones. And - fingers crossed - a cute, adorable little Sallah, with a clicky little red fez. What won't be featured in the game are Nazis. While the characters themselves will still feature (yes, Toht is still in it, and yes, he's still going to melt), all references to Nazism have been scrubbed,...

Mario Theme Would Make a Fantastic Japanese Anthem [Nobuo Uematsu]
via Kotaku by Brian Ashcraft on February 18, 2008
"Kimigayo," Japan's national anthem, has its supporters and haters. Adopted in 1868, the song is really a 10th century poem that contains this controversial line: "May the Emperor's reign last forever." Well, since the Emperor is now a figurehead, some Japanese question whether "Kimigayo" should be the national anthem. Other don't really give a hoot! While discussing Nintendo's...

Okami On Wii Controls Well, Only "Quasi-16:9" [Okami]
via Kotaku by Luke Plunkett on February 18, 2008
Last week, Capcom stated on their company store that Okami on Wii would be running at 16:9. Why is this important? Because the PS2 version did not, and if the Wii version did, it'd be a very valid reason for many to go out and buy the same game twice. Turns out that the game doesn't really run at 16:9, however. IGN sat down with it the other day and found it actually sports: ...a...

The Pink Lite DS Lite Bento [Japan]
via Kotaku by Brian Ashcraft on February 18, 2008
Remember when Japan went bonkers over the DS? Everywhere the handheld was sold out, and if you wanted one, that means lining up early on a Saturday morning when the new shipments arrived. It got so bad that American DSes had to be re-imported back into to Japan just to satisfy the demand. Let's take a moment and reflect on those madcap crazy days with food! Here's a Noble Pink DS Lite...
