NEW ON KOTAKU: The Konami Code Shows Up In The Strangest Places
True story.
One day I discovered that the Konami Code worked on the remote of my Vizio TV in order to reset my Netflix app. Now, I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something in that statement, but I'm PRETTY CERTAIN that situation has nothing to do with video games. Or Contra.
Watch me talk about all the silly crazy nutty WTF places the Konami Code pops in the real world.

New On Kotaku: Looking For A Game That Is A Literary Masterpiece? Try Odin Sphere.
Odin Sphere is often overlooked in discussions of video game storytelling, despite it being a literary masterpiece.
In other words, Odin Sphere is a totally kickassingly good game with a freaking heart-breaking story and people need to stop saying, "Oh, oh Uncharted is the most amazing game with a story of all time, just like Bioshock and Alan Wake and Prince of Persia and Red Dead Redempdepcepmtion and a whole crap-ton of other Western games" because NO. Most of those are MEDIOCRE AT BEST. (*Ahem* From a writer's standpoint.) Odin Sphere is incredible, and should be hoisted up on shoulders as a shining example of video game storytelling. That is all.
READ MY ARTICLE! I love you.

New on Kotaku: I’m An Actor, I’m A Gamer, But I’m No Street Fighter
Everyone knows I hate fighting games, ONLY BECAUSE I SUCK AT THEM. Which I personally think is a completely valid reason. Read my HILARIOUS AND ADORABLE article on Kotaku about how I felt like a total moron with a fightstick during filming, because duh I had no idea how to use one, obvi. Read and then make fun of me, that's what I do!

KOTAKU VIDEO: Let’s Eat More Video Games – For Breakfast!
Guess what? I'm ranting about cereal. AGAIN. But this time, it's in video form so my sarcasm can be conveyed to its absolute fullest. Also, this post about food is extremely timely, since yesterday was Thanksgiving when everyone ate double their own weight in holiday noms and couldn't possibly want to hear another word about food. Enjoy!

New on Kotaku! New Life+: If Life Were A Game, How Would You Replay It?
Hell must have frozen over and Howard Stern must be President because Lisa Foiles wrote a SERIOUS article for Kotaku. I know, right? Everyone together: WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL LIS--
Okay enough of that. I put a lot of time, thought, and effort into both writing this article and finding the perfect Groundhog Day screencapture to go with it. So, go read it, dammit! So far it's my least viewed Kotaku article of all time. Hm. Guess I should stick to comedy?

My New Kotaku Video! (It’s Basically a Top 5.)
Remember that time you guys were all "WAAHH WAAHH WE WANT TOP 5 TO COME BACK EVEN THOUGH YOU GOT SCREWED OVER AND WERE DOING IT FOR FRE--" oh, wait. I didn't mean to say that. Scratch that from the record.
ANYWAY, my video today for Kotaku is practically a Top 5 list, I mean who are we even kidding. It actually felt like a Top 5 when I was filming/editing it. So, watch and enjoy! And read my article afterward because it's surprisingly serious and I've been meaning to get it off my chest for a long time.

What You Really Missed At E3, aka FUNNY KOTAKU VIDEO I MADE!
E3 was all about video games, so the last thing I wanted to talk about regarding the expo was video games. DUH. So, instead I made an utterly absurd video, where I flip over a table and wear an AWESOME DREAMCAST SHIRT, and write a guide for next year's expo called, "So You've Decided to Attend E3." The video is basically a numbered list of awesome things, so that should satisfy you Top 5 fans for a while. In otherwords, STOP ASKING WHERE TOP 5 WENT, I ALREADY TOLD YOU.
Now I'm rambling. Go watch my video, asshats! Also, I love you.
