Minecraft Worlds, 3D-Printed. They’re Amazing.

Looking at these photos makes me want a 3D printer so bad. Printing figurines or other small items is one thing, but entire Minecraft worlds? Minecraft enthusiast Dave Russell used Mineways, an open source 3D printer program, to bring all these blocky builds to life. If you’re around Cambridge (Mass.), you can check these out…

The Fastest Way To Take Off A T-Shirt

All those years. All those years spent crossing my arms and pulling from the bottom, or yanking the back of the collar over my head, wasted. Imagine how much more time I’d have right now to watch instructional YouTube videos if I’d seen this instructional YouTube video when I was but a lad? With summer…

LEGO Top Gun Should Be On The Front Page Of Every Newspaper

Ralph Savelsberg wanted to build a LEGO fighter jet, so he figured he may as well build one of the most iconic out there: not just an F-14 Tomcat, but Maverick’s F-14 Tomcat from 1986’s Top Gun. How LEGO builders conceptualise this stuff, just knowing what pieces will work where, never ceases to amaze me.…

‘Attack on Titanfall‘ Would Be A Horrible Combination

Good thing Titanfall doesn’t have actual titans in it—that seems like a recipe for disaster. And by “real titans,” I mean the type of titans you’ll find in Attack On Titan.

Boy’s Dying Wish Was For A Star Wars Funeral

Jack Robinson, from Portsmouth, England, was just four years old when he died earlier this month of an inoperable brain tumour.

Jack’s parents, Terence and Marie, had helped him…

​If You Like Thief And Dishonored, Read This Book

Picture it: A beautiful, 18th-century city with a dark underbelly. The labyrinthine streets are faintly lit by alchemical light, and gangs of thieves and cutthroats roam the lower quarters and canal-ways. High above, Dukes and Dons attend gala society parties, far away from the plague-ridden quarters below. And somewhere, in the shadows, a master thief…

The Ultimate Cosplay Hero

Cosplayers work hard to bring your favorite characters to life—but that doesn’t prevent things from going wrong come convention time.

People Are Playing Frogger On A Skyscraper

The comparison has been many many, many times by people trying to run and dodge through traffic: it feels just like playing Frogger. Except it’s terrifying, because you’re the frog.

Who Is The Other Marine In The Doom Box Art?

In the classic Doom box art, is the player character the marine in the foreground? Or the guy waving in the back? Or the guy watching the scene unfold in first person?
