Amazing Penalty Kick

Sometimes hubris can be your downfall. This goalie seriously needs to read some Greek literature. That lesson is all over those works.

Space-Time Distortion Cloaking Design

This is a new and very interesting way of approaching cloaking. Instead of trying to hide yourself in space, instead hide yourself in time! As cool as this idea is though, I must point out how incredibly impractical this kind of system would probably be. You need to somehow get this light slowing machine between you and the viewer without them seeing it, and to get any practical amount of cloaking time it'd need to be super deep. (With light going 30 mph, it'd have to be half a mile thick to get 60 sec of cloaking). Still, its pretty bad ass in theory.

Ted Bear Survival Tips

Ted Bear is a master survivalist who wants to help you survive out in the wilderness. The most important part is finding the right food to keep you going. This will be easier or harder depending on your local, but I think he found the right place to get lost.

Cowboys And Aliens

Honestly there isn't much to say after you read the title. The only thing that surprised me was the quality of the cast. Maybe this is worth watching?

Shake Weight

I can't tell if the creators of this ad series were entirely oblivious to where people's minds would take this, or if they were so brilliant as to realize its viral potential. I'm kind of leaning towards the latter considering some of the angles this thing is held at. Also ladies, this thing is great for you too!

Which one is more inappropriate? The ladies' ad or the men's one?

Hatsune Miku Sings Live

Hatsune Miku is the personality given to a piece of vocalization software made by Yamaha. The place you've most likely heard her before (if you trawl the net) is from the famed Leek Spin meme where some user made her sing a traditional Finnish polka. Its an impressive piece of software and its figurehead had even been to space. Check it out.

Gamer Parent's Nightmare

If I ever have children, I will dread the following realization.

YouTube Mosaic Music Video

This little gem I stumbled across is an music video made from stills from a variety of other YouTube videos. It makes for a pretty cool presentation and the song is catchy to boot. This is the best part of plowing through the myriad of videos on there.

Call Of Duty: Soldier In All Of Us

Yep, Call Of Duty knows there is a soldier inside of you, just like there is one inside of Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel. It's bit of a surreal commercial, but amusing none the less.

Reincarnation: Abstract Dance

Here's another odd music video thats even more abstract than the last. This is a procedural setup where the motions of some real dancers were used to drive this flame particle effect. It's a cool blend of human and liquid.

Todor And Petru

It's one of those music videos that doesn't really tell an obvious story, but I love the visuals and creativity. They did a great job of combining the life action and the animation.

He-Man Pours His Soul Out

A more moving and brightly colored song has never been sung by such a muscled man. A He-Man.

Smoking Pot On National TV

Zach Galifianakis makes a point and simultaneously shows off his balls of steel when he lights up a joint on CNN. At least he's nice enough to offer it to everyone else.

The Elusive Alot

If you've ever been to YouTube, a forum or pretty much anywhere else on the internet where people can spew text then you've probably seen some horrific grammar and spelling. If this causes you undue distress, then perhaps Hyperbole and a Half has the solution for you.

New Daft Punk Track For Tron

If you didn't already know, Daft Punk will be making the sound track for Tron Legacy. This is awesome news. Even better, it looks like they get cameos in the film with some new sexy outfits (check out 1:35). Here's one of the tracks.

Vlad The Impala

If Dracula had a car, I'm pretty sure this is what it'd look like. That and maybe a bumper sticker with "I Brake 4 Sunlight".

Cockatoo Dancing To Shake Your Tail Feather

This bird has got moves. Thats pretty much all you need to know. The hard part is picking out which one is his best.

Concrete And Lightsabers

Pretty much everyone and their dogs has made a lightsaber video by now, but some of them rise above the rest. This one gets points for having a nice visual effect and good sound usage, but most of all it has some very nice choreography for the fights. Not many home made videos have flips, twists and handsprings!

Thai Iced Tea Pro

I didn't even know this was a skill one could have, but this Thai man has it in spades. My favorite part is imagining that he's using heelies to spin around on.

Go Pro 2010 Highlights

Its hard to imagine such a little camera can provide such fidelity, but if this video isn't proof I don't know what is. Of course the fact that all the people in the video are such pros doesn't hurt its cool factor.
