Western Spaghetti

This is an interesting little short animation that mimics making spaghetti and sauce with inedible objects. Its got good sound effects and some cool shots. Damn... I'm really hungry now...

Fast Lane Improves The Mundane

Hah, my title rhymes. Anyway, this little promotional stunt makes me wish that all our major cities had these kinds of improvements. Who's commute wouldn't be made better by rocket ship noises and slides?!

Second video after the page break!

Meet A Black Guy

This man was kind enough to help the residents of Aspen, Colorado experience a real black person! Its nice to see how selfless some people are.

Weirdest Soccer Game Ever?

This is the weirdest soccer/football clip I may have ever seen. In 1994 due to a bizzare rule about the results of sudden death after a tie, Barbados intentionally scored on them self in the last few minutes and then defended BOTH goals to prevent the tie from breaking either way. Wikipedia will explain it better; I'm lazy.

C'thulu Rolls a 47

Math and DnD in the same joke? Hell yea!

Is This Paper Stupid?

Its always nice to have a friend around to help you out when you need some proof reading as long as you can gracefully take the criticism. You know they're just calling out what they see.

Obama Is Gonna Kick Ass

Ah man, if only autotuning could actually fix the oil spill... It certainly is worth a laugh though.

Expert.

Here's a (satirical) interview with a BP exec who takes the time to explain where they're coming from. You might think these two look similar to the two who explained away an oil tanker accident in Australia where the front fell off, but that's crazy... crazy funny! The accent certainly helps.

The Adventure Factory

I discovered this nifty platforming game level editor that allows you to make little adventures to torture amuse your friends with. I got so into it I ended up making 5 levels which I'll link past the break so that you can all berate my terrible level design skills. Note that I had to beat these things to upload them; So yes, they're all possible.

You control your character with the arrow keys (up to jump) and use space to attack. Each of the characters has a few special skills you'll discover along the way.

Smokin' Hot Fireman Dies In A Fire

This touching tribute to a fallen hero and total hottie is as inspiring as it is tragic. To think such a beautiful man could die fully clothed is almost too much to bear.

E3 Star Wars the Old Republic Trailer

Today heralds the start of E3, and what better way to kick off the event then with this awesome Star Wars trailer that Bioware showcased. It doesn't really tell us any more about the game or how it will play, but I'll be damed if this isn't some sexy action. I love how the designers envision the fight between the Republic and the Sith.

US Government Probably Has A Space Laser

I mean, how else could you explain something like this? Moving water causing soluble minerals to dissolve and leave an underground chasm? Pshhhh, definitely a laser... a moon laser...

Automated Lego Builder Made of Legos

If you've ever wondered how the Germans got their reputation as amazing engineers, its probably because they invented the rocket, fission, electron microscopes and decaffeination. Or if none of those sold you, check out this factory built entirely out of Legos that builds Lego airplanes. You can even pick the colors you want! Also check out this Lego auto factory and printer!

All they need now is a Lego factory that builds Lego factories, and our rule as the dominant species is over.

I recommend playing some music in the background, the sound is rather dull.

No One Gets Me...

Awwww, he's so misunderstood.

If You See Someone Drowning...

Laughter is the best medicine right?


If you see someone drowning; lol. Then call 911.

TADD: Tollbooths Against Drunk Driving

You might think that 6am is a bit early to be hitting the sauce, but you're also probably someone who's never jumped a tollbooth to save yourself a few bucks. Or walked away from the smoking ruin of your Ford with only a broken wrist, and then have your car explode. I have to admit this is probably the coolest DUI ever, but still... don't do it.

Check out the full story here!

Imperial Editorial Cartoons

Gabe of Penny Arcade tries his hand at editorial cartoons... in the Star Wars universe of course. Take that Emperor Palpetine!!


Underwater Base Jumping

In this kind of base jumping its not getting down where you die, its the part when you fail to get back up. Well, unless you're a badass free diver like Guillaume Nery who holds the world record for deepest free dive (just holding his breath) at 112m. Then you just decide rock climbing is the best way back, right?

A Totally Real Human

This guy is totally a real person. There is no way this is actually just a 3d render straight out of a computer. This is a photo. Yep. Oh, wait. WHAT THE FUCK?!

PS: This could almost be me in 20 years (after black hair dye and a broken nose perhaps?)

Two Years of Daily Photos

The string of photo updates isn't really original at this point, but this guy went over the top. Not only did he not take a single day of vacation in two years so he could get a photo EVERY day, he also intentionally altered his style and positions each day so that the animation is actually fun to watch. Oh, and he timed it brilliantly to Buckethead which is an epic win.
