Those South African weirdoes are back with a typically strange video that will probably haunt your dreams and have you waking for the rest of your life – cold and frightened, in the middle of the night – And there’s a lot of swearing in it too, but that can only be a good thing. [...]

Here it is, the first fail compilation of the year and, as is fitting, it starts with some fireworks going wrong. Then it’s the usual bunch of addictive viewing as people headbutt walls, do the classic skateboard trick: the nustshot, and generally make a mockery of us all. If you thought had a bad January, [...]

Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. If Cyberdyne Systems is going to appear anywhere, my money is on Pennsylvania. These cheeky little bots have been taught to fly in various formations and switch between those formations in three dimensions. It’s just a matter of time before [...]

Meet Ed Sheeran, he’s ginger but do let that put you off. Here he is, trying to get over his ex-girlfriend and forgetting the pain by getting drunk with a cat and let this be a lesson to cat owners everywhere: never let your cat get drunk because they are a mean drunk. A few [...]

Get your freak on with these funksome dance moves from a bald guy in flares and a turquoise roll neck. That’s right, he may look like someone’s weird neighbour in a 1970s suburbia sitcom but that doesn’t stop him from opening up a can of badass as he busts some shapes all up in yo [...]

Here’s Liam Neeson on The Graham Norton Show, doing that seriously scary quote from his film “Taken” which he’s quite partial to leaving on people’s answering machines. But better than that, a fan of his asks him to record it as a voicemail greeting and being a decent chap, he obliges. Which just goes to [...]

Don’t flop is good advice no matter what activity you’re indulging in and definitely not in rap battles. And definitely not in a rap battle where a pupil takes on his teacher. But while you’d think the kid might be more down with it and pwn teach, he actually gets schooled as teach takes it [...]

Is this the coolest dad in the history of dadhood? Not only is he spending quality time with his kids but they’re doing an awesome activity, laying down a cool Depeche Mode track which they get to perform on, rocking the keyboard and the recorder. And to top it all off and make us all [...]

In the Nordics they do air travel very different to the rest of the planet. No, they’re not completely bombed out of their minds, but instead they’re celebrating India’s Republic Day by literally rocking out in the aisles. A dancing flight crew surprises (annoys?) passengers after they’ve boarded a Finnair flight to Delhi, so [...]

Mark Malkoff is living the Hollywood dream, but in the same rotten global economy we all are, so when he went to LA, instead of staying in a hotel, he asked celebrities if he could sleepover at their homes. Not really big celebrities like Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts but the ‘less’ major people who [...]

Another musical mashup for you, though this one doesn’t use a movie for samples. The guy who made this is so good at it that he takes challenges from his viewers and the challenge here was to make a beat using only re-purposed sounds that he could make using household items. A plastic bag rustling, [...]

Yosemite National Park, featuring a valley carved out of the American landscape by glaciers 4,000ft wide 1 million years ago. Yes, it’s one of those places where it’s OK to be totally wowed by nature and not come across like some leaf-loving hippy. It’s a place of stunning beauty, exactly the sort of place where [...]

The Tank Man of Tienanmen Square. Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston in victory. The portrait of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic. Many of us can automatically recall these photos in our heads, but far fewer can name the photographers who took them. Even fewer know what those photographers look like.

Get comfy, grab some popcorn and your favourite soda and take 7 minutes out of your day to watch this home-made labour of love from Aaron Sims. Go on, you deserve it. If you’re not convinced then know that it has an eight-foot tall combat robot, RL7, that malfunctions, goes AWOL and memories start surfacing [...]

If you’re a fan of Tom Cruise movies, then you might want to look away now. All one of you (and maybe stay up all night and write a mission statement about why this is evil?). For the rest of us we can lol it up till the Thetans come home, as Rich Hall sums [...]

This is awesome. Nuff said – Cheer up your Monday with this special little mashup from the maven himself: Pogo. It takes the chords, bass notes and vocal samples from the Disney Pixar film “Up” and creates a magical little remix that will have you hating the hate and feeling like you could crush a [...]

The shock! The horror! This 13-year-old digital native is beside herself when her dad shows her an LP for the very first time in her life. She can’t seem to fathom why it’s so huge and why it’s got so little songs on it — well that’s the analog world for you! And don’t even [...]

It’s time to bring today’s modern gaming hits to the good old days – Bioshock, Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Portal, etc are all seriously beautiful games, but even when reduced to a fraction of their former pixel count by talented demake artists Pieceoftoast & JunkBoy, they still look totally awesome. I’d love to play these.
