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 instead of getting lost in their in-flight magazine, they have to watch stewardesses throwing themselves around. And you know what, it aint too bad. You wouldn’t get this on British Airways or Delta.

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 were in sitcoms many moons ago. And Kristen Schaal. And Chloe from 24. And the badass evil karate instructor from Karate Kid. Actually, this all sounds pretty good when you think about it…

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, a couple of knives rubbing together, the sound of him falcon punching a beanbag. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of it’s parts.

Richard Dawkins who’s made a late career for himself out of offending religious types takes them to task here, effectively using their own arm to beat them into submission by claiming that had Jesus existed and not been a fictional creation he’d have been an atheist. Not doubt Dawkins would’ve been his best buddy and together they’d fly round the world and walk on water proclaiming that there is no God and aliens are selfish. Still. Let he without sin cast the first scathing comment.

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 you’d want to take a Canon 5D Mark II with a variety of Canon L and Zeiss CP.2 Lenses and time-lapse the fuck out of it.

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 about its possible human past. Cue the military raining down on his ass to try and cover up the truth. But RL7 ain’t going out like that.

NO, they are not 2 webcam wannabes shaking their thang. If you’ve never heard the two words above, then where have you been all week? Both these acts that threaten the freedoms of the online world with their lameness have had bad press this week, thanks in no small part to thousands of websites going dark in protest against them. But if you’re still a little unclear as to what these beasts will do to our internets, this video will help explain it.

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.

It’s surprising this religion-hating fool hasn’t felt the wrath of God rein down on his puny human head, smiting his fleshy brain into the void of idiocy. Because God is an angry being who has been made impotent by science and the lack of intelligent people believing in him. Why is it all atheists are know-it-all douchebags and religious types are generally dumb, where does SOPA and PIPA stand on all this, why are we here…..Oh God! Where’s my lithium?
