A peek inside Notch's housewarming party and the $70M mansion that Minecraft bought

by Brian Crecente
Bridget

this is like, not even 2 miles from my apartment. ethan go stalk tim shafer after work! or befriend notch so we can see an insane house

Last month, Markus "Notch" Persson set a new record for the highest price ever paid for a home in Beverly Hills. The man behind Minecraft dropped $70 million to snatch the 23,000-square-foot home away from Jay-Z and Beyonce in a bidding war.

This past weekend, Notch flew into town to christen his new home away from home with the mother of all housewarming parties.

And judging by the pictures, it was a big hit. Among the attendees were John and Brenda Romero, Tim Schafer, Respawn's Vince Zampella and former Blizzard chief creative officer Rob Pardo. And it wasn't just a party packed with gamers, quite a few celebs showed up as well, including Selena Gomez and producer/DJ Zedd.

Notch's plans for the future? Dungeon crawlers, friends and...

French Bulldog Puppy Heroically Reclaims Bed from Evil Cat

by Rebecca Rose

Like so many dogs before him, Pixel the French Bulldog was a victim of cat gentrification in his own home. It looked like all hope was lost. We thought Pixel would have to spend the rest of eternity sleeping helplessly next to the his former bed, using his best sad puppy eyes to try and get it sleep space back. But he has emerged triumphant! The bed is now back with its rightful owner and Pixel claimed a victory for all dogs against all asshole cats who steal beds.

These Archie vs. Predator covers are just the right amount of insane

by Charlie Hall

Archie Andrews has had a helluva couple years. Last year he died taking a bullet for a gay Navy SEAL. No really. Now he's being hunted by the Predator.

No really.

Today marks the release of the covers, io9 reports, and boy howdy are they amazing.

Francisco Francavilla, who did the art for Afterlife with Archie, turned in this masterpiece, showing Archie chest-deep in a muddy stream with an improvised spear, looking every bit the match for the invisible alien.

The variant cover finds Eric Powell to blame. After years toiling away at the comic series The Goon he's provided us with this image of the Predator holding aloft the severed head of Jughead.

We can only assume he died a hero's death.

Archie vs. Predator #1 will be...

For sale: Kurt Cobain suicide note t-shirts

For sale: Kurt Cobain suicide note t-shirts

For the grunge fan who has everything: Baseball tees with Kurt Cobain’s suicide note printed on them are now for sale on Ebay for $25.19. The shirts were originally available on Etsy, but were taken down yesterday after a bunch of people complained.

kurt cobain suicide tshirt ebay 585x291 For sale: Kurt Cobain suicide note t shirts

Who would make such a thing? Someone in Thailand who goes by the username of Nuchyk, apparently. He or she claims that the shirts are “not official” and “made by me.” In terms of weird Kurt Cobain memorabilia, we’d prefer owning his old childhood home instead.

Mostly, the shirt is yet another reminder that everything is fucking terrible.

Apple Granted Patent for Action Camera, Causing GoPro’s Stock to Tank

by Michael Zhang

applepatent

Apple is getting into the smart watch business, but there’s another market that may be in the company’s crosshairs: action cameras. Apple was granted a patent for a wearable camera today, and the news caused GoPro’s stock to tumble by around 12%.

The patent was filed back in 2012 and is titled, “Digital camera system having remote control.” The document details an action camera system that can be mounted to things like helmets and masks. Among the details included were mentions of weaknesses in GoPro’s line of action cameras.

In addition to recording video, Apple’s patented camera can also capture still photographs and record audio. According to Patently Apple, some of the tech inside the camera is based on intellectual properly Apple acquired from Kodak back in 2013.

One Student’s Epic Tweets Call Out the Biggest Hypocrites Marching for Free Speech In Paris

Adding to the symbolic weight of the demonstrations, more than 40 world leaders joined the start of the Paris march, linking arms in an act of solidarity. But as Reporters Without Borders points out, not every world leader present is really a defender of free speech.

An Evil Way To Irk Your Enemies — Mailing Them Glitter For $9.99 — Is Going Viral

by Maya Kosoff

ship your enemies glitter

This morning, Twitter exploded when a link to a website called "Ship Your Enemies Glitter" started getting passed around. 

We first saw a link to the website posted to Reddit's r/InternetIsBeautiful forum, and later on the startup-discovery website Product Hunt.

Ship Your Enemies Glitter was described by Product Hunt founder Ryan Hoover as "the ultimate troll product."

Quite literally, the expletive-laden Australian website lets you pay $9.99 to send glitter to your enemies. "Hint: the glitter will be mixed in with the note thus increasing maximum spillage," the website reads.

The website crashed, presumably due to the traffic it received. It appears to be back up and running now, though.

ship your enemies glitterIn addition to including glitter in an envelope for your enemies, the website promises to also include a note explaining why the recipient is receiving the glitter, which is notoriously difficult to clean up.

It doesn't seem to be a joke, though: The form on Ship Your Enemies Glitter's website submits to a PayPal checkout page. 

Ship Your Enemies Glitter

The website also had a curse-word-heavy FAQ page.

It's not immediately clear who is behind the website (the Product Hunt team isn't sure either). The domain owners' information is masked.

VICE Premiere: Emo Music Sucks Now, but You Blew It! Remembers the Good Days

by Charlie Ambler

A lot of people have gotten tired of music that sounds like it was made by an army of tearful clones designed and dispatched by the Kinsella brothers, but I still have a soft spot for 2015 bands that confidently crib from American Football. You Blew It! has been on the short list of bands mentioned in every "emo revival" article for the past year, and they deserve all the press they're getting, as stupid as that phrase may be.

This song, "Bedside Manor," harkens back to a time when emo was less about eyeliner and more about large-hearted Midwestern boys wearing plaid and carrying their keys on carabiners. You should be listening to it already.

That new McDonald’s commercial is awful, so let’s fuck with it

That new McDonald’s commercial is awful, so let’s fuck with it

On Sunday, McDonald’s revealed its new commercial. You might have seen it if you were watching football or the Golden Globes. Like all advertising, it’s cynical, manipulative bullshit and the world would be a better place without its existence.

The commercial features a bunch of supposedly real customized McDonald’s signs, referencing the fast food hamburger chain’s stance on 9/11 and the Boston Bombing. They even have a Tumblr page for the campaign, suggesting that “Every sign tells a story.”

mcdonalds signs commercial 2 585x329 That new McDonalds commercial is awful, so lets fuck with it

Of course, none of the signs mention any of the terrible shit McDonald’s is perhaps best known for—shitty wages and unhealthy garbage food. So it seems only fair to return the favor and mess with it. Every sign tells a story!

I made a few last night, with some major help from Jenny Odell, which I’ve peppered throughout this post. If you want to make your own, here’s a .PSD file with a blank sign.

Type whatever you want on your sign—reference the company’s inability to provide employees a fair, living wage despite their massive profits, for example, or just make up gross and terrible stuff. The only limit is the size of the sign and your imagination.
