Not Every Pancake Can Be A Star Wars Pancake

The world’s premiere pancake artist Nathan Shields recreates the iconic creatures of the Star Wars universe in heated batter form. How I hate him. Taking requests from his adorable children, recreating faces and artwork after only a quick glance at a picture — he’s making the rest of us fathers look bad. My children’s two…

Brushing Your Teeth With A Gun Is A Terrible Idea

Note: Don’t do this at home. I still can’t decide if it’s the most idiotic or the funniest thing I’ve seen recently. A Japanese kid attaches a toothbrush to the slide of an airsoft gun and when he fires, the brush moves back and forth. Just like an electric toothbrush. Except faster. And he does…

A Post-Apocalyptic RPG With Hip Hop Artists

Artist Dominick Rabrun gives us a glimpse in his video what a post-apocalyptic JRPG with hip hop artists such as Kanye West or Tyler the Creator would look like. His short clip features one of those ‘calm before the storm’ moments almost every JRPG has, and man, a game like this would have a moody…

Chinese Man Makes $2,400 A Month Selling Smartphone Screen Protectors

Let’s face it, modern smartphones, with their giant glass screens, are in constant danger! Those glorious screens can be easily scuffed. To protect them, people often put on screen protectors—and in China, applying screen protection might actually be a profitable livelihood. Currently trending on China’s Twitter-like microblog Weibo is the story of a young man…

Comparing a Beautiful Racing Game With… Real Life

I guess when your game looks that good, you’re limited when it comes to comparisons YouTuber ADRIANF1esp, to showcase the graphics of— you guessed it—Project CARS, took camera footage of a BMW doing a lap on the Laguna Seca Raceway, and put it next to an in-game run on the same track, using the same…

An Internet Comment Thread For The Ages

In 99.99% of cases, someone correcting someone else on the internet results in dick behaviour. In rare instances, though, we get to see magic happen. This post begins life as many other Tumblr/Reddit posts do, with a cute image that may or may not be fake. Rather than simply pass judgement and move on, though,…
