Kotaku Originals_ Up Your Nose With a Rubber Hose
Published on October 24, 2025
Kinda presumptuous to welcome myself back, but, I don’t see anyone else doing it. Anyway, it’s nice to be missed. I was missed, right?
This week was Resident Evil 5’s big closeup, but others still managed to crack the news lineup. Namely, BioShock 2’s Big Sister stomped on in and said, where you saw but one set of footprints in the sand, it was there that I kicked your ass. All that and more from the week in original readin’, ritin’ and reportin’:
