Late last week at Peking University in Beijing, China, men wearing skimpy underwear and carrying inflatable friends streaked the university's north campus and tried to jump into Weiming Lake. Then, university security showed up. That's when all hell broke loose.

For the first time in history, we had a three-time finalist in the latest edition of the Kotaku' Shop Contest, which sought to make Saints Row IV's "Dubsteb Gun" even more ridiculous than it already is. But he wasn't the overall winner. Who was? Menome! (above) Duck season! Wabbit season! Wub season! Fire!

If you still have the ill-fated NBA Elite 11 demo, go to its practice mode, that's what we saw three years ago.

Melding story elements of the first four Superman films—except the one where Richard Pryor recreates Kryptonite out of cigarettes—here is Skyrim at the Movies: Man of Steel, featuring Supes, Throthgar Luthor, Terence Stamp Zod, and Nuclear Man. It's got Eve Teschmacher, too, just not as hot as Valerie Perrine.
