Hand me a pencil, ’cause I’m about to turn it into a 1983 Cutlass Sierra, baby. At least that’s what macho-man MacGuyver would do. Thanks to the retarded world of Wikipedia, we now have a staggering list of accomplishments from everyone’s favorite TV star. I’m partially fond of this one: When near a deadly laser grid, MacGyver lights a pack ...

When NASA gets really bored, it starts doing pointless comparisons of the first successful landing on the moon. Only the brightest minds at NASA will be jotting down coordinates and tracing all of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s movements. It turns out that the two original mooninites only hopped around in an area smaller than a soccer field. So NASA: ...

The Pixelation forum came up with a neat contest for it’s users. They poked at the question, “what would modern games look like on an original Gameboy?” They ask their users to re-create screenshots of their favorite modern games in pixelated Gameboy-form. You’ll find games like Guitar Hero, BioShock, ICO, Okami, Sam & Max, Flashback (not so modern but very ...

Nothing brings together friends like a pack of smokes. Face off with your Parliaments as the trashy dude from across the train tracks whips out his Newports in a brilliant match of Tic Tac Toe. First one to die of cancer wins. $18 and a lifetime subscription to cancer are all you need to get started. Link (via)

Video games aren’t the only things I dream I’m in. Occasionally I’ve been known to have absurd notions that I am sponsored by a skateboard company and that it puts my eyes on a deck it calls “Private Eyes”. Then the realization that that’ll never happen brings me home. Now, Zazzle.com is making my dreams come true (minus the getting ...

Despite the ongoing legal battle between 20th Century FOX and Warner Bros. over Watchmen rights, Warner is still flinging press material left and right. Found in some Brazillian publication called SET, there’s four new close-ups of characters from the movie. Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, The Comedian and the chick who’s fucking Night Owl (sorry, I just finished reading it and already ...

We all have games that indirectly inspire our dreams. There may be even some that give us nightmares. Some games you can’t help but wish you were the main character of just so you can get with the princess at the end of the story. Hit the jump to see the games that I dream I’m in, whether it be ...

This table lamp designed by Alexander Lervik might look like just an ordinary lamp modeled after the human brain, but it’s so much more to Mr. Lervik. It’s called MYBrain and interestingly enough, it is Alexander Lervik’s brain. OK, it’s not his actual brain but it’s as close as it ever will be while propped on a stand, having light ...

I’ve got a bone to pick with you fuckers at Fingertongs. Why aren’t you running a more aggressive advertising campaign? I could have really used a pair during the Summer of 2006 when I burnt my left hand grabbing a hamburger off the grill. Sure, I was seven beers deep but how is that my fault? I needed your gloves ...

Get your mind out of the gutter, friend! I wasn’t referring to the terrible diarrhea the crew of the ISS got a hold of. To be quite honest, I’m talking about a nasty little worm for Windows that NASA somehow happened to miss. The infection, known as W32.TGammima.AG, can steal passwords and fuck up your system – something you don’t ...
