Play 'Breakout' Using Only Your Arm Muscles
Blogger, technophile and programmer Haroon Baig has used his design skills to create a simple but addictive version of the classic game Breakout (sometimes called Arkanoid) that you can play in a run-of-the-mill browser! Here's what makes it interesting: you control the "paddle" (which is the same as a scroll bar) by tilting your computer clockwise or counterclockwise. Of course, you must have ...
Evan Jacobs' Pick for the Best Cooking Show of All Time
Recently, The Cook's Den made a list of the 100 best cooking shows of all time. As not the biggest cooking show connoisseur and certainly not the biggest fan of prudence, I have picked #51, Hell's Kitchen, as my favorite cooking show of all time. How can you not love a show that features Gordon Ramsay yelling at morons who deserve to be yelled at. It's especially good when he says "You donkey!" ...
Depression + Bad Computer Art? Sign Us Up!
Do you ever think "Man, I need to feel better than people," or "Man, I feel so crappy that I need to know other people feel crappy too," or, "Man, I'm bored"? Then PostSecret is for you. Of course, you know that site already. It's the one where people mail in secrets on postcards. But what if you have all those thoughts with the ending "...and I wish I could look at some crappy computer ...
Marble Optical Illusion With Magnetic Paper Slopes? Amazing!
You see, a very clever student named Koukichi Sugihara devised a way to magnetize paper to other tree products, like, for example, wood. This technique will surely revolutionize technology as we know it, letting us have wooden cars, wooden televisions and wooden cell-phones. Wood, a primitive building material, will become the new "it" technology and we will all be blown away when -- huh? What ...
Kittens in Auto-Tune, Yo (Video)
What would Lil' Wayne sound like if he were a kitten? A visionary YouTuber gives us a glimpse of what auto-tuned kittens would sound like (and thank God it doesn't sound like that other auto-tuned cat video, Singing Kitties, which sounds like a bad video-game soundtrack being played backwards). The video is definitely fun for a while, even after the would-be Vanilla Ice starts rapping over it. ...
Using Toys to Tell Great Stories (Videos)
Since YouTube came out, everyone wants to use their crappy camcorder to make the next Nightmare Before Christmas by using their old (or new) action figures (dolls). But, every once in a while, whether by accidental genius or pressure from the parents they're clearly still living with, someone will put out a video worth watching. For instance, look what someone can do when they're getting paid ...
Birthday Cat Is Not Amused By Your Photoshopping Skills
Birthday cat, one of our newest and favorite memes, has endless possibilities for enjoyment. Remember stoned birthday dog? Stoned birthday dog loves everything, especially getting high, while birthday cat is solemn and realizes that birthdays are just a reminder that one more worthless year is gone and wasted, while the thunderhead of death hangs in the sky, patient and inexorable. Like in ...
Gingers in Pop Culture - Are M.I.A.'s 'Born Free' Music Video and South Park Fighting or Promoting Racism?
You may have missed it, but South Park had an episode a few seasons ago where Cartman decided to rally against the pale-skinned, red-haired people known as "gingers," until Kyle and Stan put make-up on him while he was asleep so that he thought that he too was a ginger. Rather than learn the error of his ways, Cartman went in the opposite direction, rallying ginger kids to kill all the ...
Attractive French People Make a Wacky Lipdub Video
In France, when not consuming wine, cheese, baguettes and cigarettes, large groups of attractive young people often make weird lipdub videos together. It's become a national epidemic. Once in a while, one of these videos is just cool enough to make it past our "freedom-fry" filters. This time, it's a group of kids at the Axe Sud Toulouse School of Graphic Arts. The video is one continuous shot of ...
Keyboard Cat Is Back...and High (Video)
Two of YouTube's most titanically popular videos have clashed to create a Kraken of memey goodness. It's called "Keyboard Cat After Dentist" and is made by the original creator of Keyboard Cat, Charlie Schmidt. Charlie's new cat, Bento, is equally as malleable as the original and is still high as balls off the dentist's anaesthesia. See the full vid after the jump. ...
