The Yoshimoto Cube

If you watch one geometric shape video this Winter, make sure you see this! It's our favorite cube since the weighted companion cube showed it's adorable corners in Portal. And another thing, to hell with hexagons. What have they done lately? Nothing. That's what.

Everyone is going green these days. It seems like the whole world is smitten with nature. Seriously, who cares about animals? They're not even as smart as people. If you don't understand what all the hullabaloo is over the trendy environmental movement, then this video is for you.

Best of TBT: Slow Motion Lightning

If you thought lightning couldn't be any more awesome, you thought wrong. The power of slow motion let's you see every last spark as it dances across the sky. It looks like footage from the most epic heavy metal music video of all time. Someone get Megadeath on the phone, this could be big.

Best of TBT: Lame Magnetic Pen Commercial

Feast your eyes, ladies and gentleman, on the latest innovation in pen technology. It's a magnetic necklace that you can hang your pen from, like a pocket you wear around your neck. Who wouldn't want their belongings displayed brazenly on their chest, instead of hidden away in their pants?

This video is great because they're just so enthusiastically oblivious of how awful their product is. Never lose your pen under a desk again!

Crazy Sphere of Death

December 24, 2008
I can't say I know too much about what's going on in this one, I just know that, that thing looks mean as hell. It's also got kill in it's name. I'm pretty sure you could take over the world with 100 of them.

Mac vs PC Transformers

They had the same fight 20 years ago. You should have seen it, so boring! It took the computers like 20 minutes to transform. Back then they thought it was great, though.

RD-D2 Chorus Line

December 22, 2008
What could be better than buying 12 RD-D2s and having a robot dance party? A pool. You could probably buy a pool with that money. If you don't have a backyard, or you're a really, really big geek, this is still a pretty great way to spend your money.

Game Over

December 19, 2008
An awesome stop-motion montage of classic videogame deaths. It's made of snack foods and other small items, which means that the graphics are about 1,000 times more delicious and fun than the originals.

Enormous Lake Explosion

December 18, 2008
All this car exhaust and deforestation is a long time. If we want to really destroy the Earth we're going to step it up. Bombing a lake is a good first step. We can win the war against nature.

Dolphin Stampede

December 17, 2008
Imagine you were on a rowboat with a rope tied around your legs attached to a cinder block, and just as you were about to kill yourself, this happened. If they didn't destroy your boat and attack you, you'd want to live.

A simple car made of wheels and spindles destroys everything I've ever believed about the world. I don't even know what laws of physics this is breaking, but I know it's illegal.

Animal Kaleidoscope

December 15, 2008
Swiss band Larytta proves the Wikipedia entry for kaleidoscope inaccurate. It's not a tube filled with mirrors, it's a bunch of mirrors filled with animals. Usually I'd say something about reflections or optical illusions here to try and fit with the technology theme, but really it's just awesome to watch. It's technology art.

Nerdiest Kite Ever

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:00:00 EST

December 12, 2008
If you think about it, making a mouse pointer kite doesn�t really make sense. Anyone who loves computers enough to make it probably doesn�t spend enough time outside to warrant owning a kite. This man is an anomaly.

Ghostbusters Video Game Trailer

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:00:00 EST

December 11, 2008
The new Ghostbusters game has got a tough act to follow. Remember the original one for NES? How do you compete with a game that allowed you to play such prestigious characters as "Ghost with a slash through it?" I mean sure, the graphics look amazing -- BUT GHOST WITH A SLASH THROUGH IT!

Mario 2 Guitar Jamboree

December 10, 2008
Mario 1 and 3 are classics. Compared to them, Mario 2 is really lacking. Unless you're a huge fan of egg spitting dinosaurs, the theme song was probably your favorite part about it. Here's Adrian Holovaty's "gypsy-jazz" arrangement!
