DarendukesSpin-metal!
For the past several years , the video game community has been salivating over No Man’s Sky, a space exploration game by Hello Games. Now at last, the game is being released on June 21. At an event in Los Angeles, we experienced about 30 minutes of gameplay—and discovered that some of the game’s planets are inhabited by intelligent life forms.
DarendukesWHY?!
As remake mania sweeps Hollywood, you might have thought that game shows were safe. I mean, sure, they can always be revived and updated—like Robot Wars —but remaking them into a completely different form, like a movie? Well, that’s just weird. And yet that’s what Nickelodeon is doing with its beloved ‘90s game show Legends of the Hidden Temple.
DarendukesWould be cool to see different views people filmed from stuff like ACL. If you were bored enough.
YouTube contains a cornucopia of weird stuff: Sniff around long enough, and you’re likely to stumble upon some truly bizarre videos.
DarendukesI've used BrewDrop a few times. Good selection and prices. And it always arrives within 45 mins.
I like to drink. In fact, I like to drink more than I like to move. As in, move my body. I used those exact words when canceling a gym membership once. They wouldn’t let me cancel over the phone, so when I finally went to the gym and was asked why I wanted to quit I simply said that I liked drinking more than I liked moving. The sales guy wasn’t sure how to respond.
There are so many Star Wars posters out there these days, it’s incredibly difficult to make one stand out. Well, artist Matt Ferguson has found an answer to that: Make posters that are simple, clean, and instantly recognizable.
Through a series of button inputs, a player has found previously undiscovered menus that lay dormant in the arcade versions of Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3. How did they last so long without being discovered?
Nobumichi Asai and Studio WOW recently teamed up with Intel’s #ExperienceAwesome campaign, and created this incredible face-mapped art performance.
DarendukesBe careful discussing sensitive topics.
Drop certain topics from your curriculum.
Not “go there” if you sense anger.
Limit student access off hours.
Wow.
Beginning Aug. 1, Texans who legally own guns (so, all of them) will be able to carry their concealed weapons on the campuses of the state’s public universities. Some faculty at the University of Houston appear concerned over what the new law might mean for their safety, so the school recently presented the following Powerpoint slide that suggests ways in which teachers may reduce their chances of being murdered by their students.
Bill Watterson has been notoriously reluctant to license his famous comic, Calvin and Hobbes. So when an artist began mashing up the comic and Frank Herbert’s Dune, the lawyers came out. What happened next might surprise you.
DarendukesMasterfully done.

Sideshow comedian and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been long-regarded as a political anomaly in the United States. But in Westeros? Well, that actually makes more sense.
DarendukesDon't bother reading it. Just watch this: https://youtu.be/p4GH25ZtzxU
Strange things not yet explained by science are happening in different parts of the world right now:
For years, fans have speculated and asked the filmmakers behind Back to the Future if they’d ever do a follow-up. Thankfully, they’ve almost always said “No.” But one fan has another idea. A prequel. And he’s already cut the trailer for it.
DarendukesAlways loved that art.
There’s a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board game up on Kickstarter. It’s already been funded, so don’t sweat, it’s getting made. Which is cool, because it sounds like the perfect TMNT game.
DarendukesToo far.
The internet brought countless innovations to the world, one of which being the ability to pawn off hard work onto someone else, anywhere on earth, for a price. For example, if you need 500 paper airplanes but don’t want to waste hours folding them, you can now just buy them in bulk.
The internet has some dark corners, there’s no denying that. But how could humanity ever carry on without a tool that lets us share a brilliant video of a man in an inflatable T-rex costume riding a horse kicking a giant soccer ball? Lets make sure we never do anything to endanger the world wide web, because how else could we possibly survive Wednesday afternoons without it?
Deep in the heart of the Amazon, legends tell of a river so hot that it boils from below. As a geoscientist, Andrés Ruzo’s training told him the stories couldn’t be true. But that was before he saw the river with his own eyes.
If you and your significant other refuse to buy into another manufactured Hallmark holiday, here’s the perfect counter-programming to share so all your friends and followers on social media know exactly how you feel.
Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga is an amazing sci-fi epic. But lets be honest—its real star is Lying Cat, a Cat that can detect when people aren’t telling the truth and promptly calls them out for it. Now, she’s getting a talking plush, and it’s pretty damn perfect.
DarendukesThis is amazing:
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
The Nigerian prince scam will never die. It’s lasted in various forms for decades now, but the latest iteration is downright amazing. Can’t you give $3 million to help a Nigerian astronaut get home from his secret space mission?
Archive.org is quickly becoming the place to visit whenever 90s internet nostalgia strikes. Last week, we reported on an amazing collection of MS-DOS malware in the Malware Museum. Now, the site has launched a collection old games from Windows 3.1.
DarendukesOMG!? Like no he did3nt!!
Good people of America, the moment has finally arrived. Today, Duncan Hunter, a U.S. Representative from California who first boldly proclaimed his love of vaping not two months ago, blew a sick cloud of e-juice during a Congressional hearing. I love the U.S.A.

DarendukesYay for app based prostitution! Thanks 2016!
Ohlala, with its quirky almost French-sounding name, blends everything you normally see in a dating app with the twist that men are paying women for the dates. And starting tonight at 6:21 PM Eastern, New Yorkers can start using it.
DarendukesWtf Nerf? Why do you need nerf broadswords and hatchets? They even sell a nerf 2x4.
Also, broads words!!!
Even without a battery-powered motor whirring away inside, Nerf’s mechanical blasters aren’t exactly silent when being reloaded and fired. So for those times when stealth is of the utmost importance, the Nerf Zombie Strike Silent Strike is a simple lung-powered blowgun that won’t give away your position.

Alternative headline: Tree takes a lightning strike and is somehow still standing? I don’t know who the actual winner is here. The lightning bolt that struck the tree and rocked half of the trunk away while flooring all of its branches or is it the tree that takes the bolt’s best shot and hangs in there quite admirably?
DarendukesAhem...

Bowing to public pressure, Lego has finally released its first minifig in a wheelchair. The latest Lego figurine was one of several recently showcased at the Nuremberg Toy Fair.
Netflix’s foray into original programming has gone pretty well for them. This one seems a lot more suspect.
DarendukesIf you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it.
Last year, we named Taika Waititi’s What We Do In The Shadows as one of the best genre films of the year. It’s the mockumentary story of a group of vampires who live together. Now, not only do we have some more concrete news of a sequel, we know its title.
