Remember that wonderfully oddball Mercedez-Benz Japan commercial that accompanied the OMG GLA DLC Mario Kart 8 revelation? You know, the one with the hard-as-nails, real-life Mario climbing out of the GLA all super-cool before walking into a Goomba?...

Petition To Stop Discovery Channel's "Eaten Alive" TV Special
by Meredith Woerner
DarendukesSeems like they already filmed it, so what's the point in protesting?
Last week the Discovery Channel claimed they would film a man being eaten alive in an snake-proof suit for their "Eaten Alive" special. Naturally, this did not go over well. And people are already starting to protest.

There is a Predator-themed house for sale in Sweden, and it looks crazy

You know what this house needs? More fictional alien trophy hunter masks. It really ties the whole place together, don't you think?

Extended Age Of Ultron Trailer Has Even More Goddamn Creepy Ultron
by Lauren Davis
The extended version of the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron follows the same structure as the original version, but there's even more footage for us to pick apart, including more of James Spader monologuing as the terrifying Ultron.

Drunk Stoned or Stupid
DarendukesWe should get this game.
"Like Cards Against Humanity, but swayed more towards personal attacks and arguments."
Usually the only people I credit for being clever, relevant, and hilarious are myself and sometimes Stephen Colbert, but the cards of party game Drunk Stoned or Stupid demonstrate there might be a few others out there deserving of the compliments. Two of their names are Trevor and Noah Mayer. The Brothers Mayer, along with input from friends, family, and fans' emailed suggestions, have amassed hundreds of irreverent descriptions of people and their actions, and stuffed the best of them into a box of 250 cards. Each round, Drunk Stoned or Stupid players read one of these cards aloud and determine which player is most likely to:
- Wake up with half a burrito in bed
- Have a 20-minute conversation with Siri
- Call dibs on people at a party
- Shame people for going to bed
- Be a total brand whore
- Break a window to get into their own house
- Think eating chicken is vegetarian
- Wash Red Cups in the dishwasher
- Type out every single Drunk Stoned or Stupid card right now to ruin the surprise out of malice for people who are more witty than himself.
Like Cards Against Humanity, but swayed more towards personal attacks and arguments, Drunk Stoned or Stupid digs into how well you really know your friends. Gameplay begins with a declared judge drawing a card and reading it aloud. The player to his left then provides a story or convincing reason for someone in the group to be "tagged" with that card, and the accused must then defend himself. Moving around the circle, each person gets a shot at assigning the card to someone else and giving supporting evidence. The judge makes the final ruling, and hands the guilty party the card, along with -1 points. A new judge is then selected and the sequence begins again. When one player reaches -7 points, the game ends and he is declared the Drunk Stoned or Stupid loser.
Drunk Stoned or Stupid seeks crowdfunding on Kickstarter through November 18, 2014.
Drunk Stoned or Stupid is a top Dude Gift for a Party pick.

Holy Shit We Landed on a Fucking Comet Jesus Christ
by Aleksander Chan
A spacecraft landed on the surface of a comet for the first time ever today, the European Space Agency confirms. The 220-pound Philae lander successfully made its way to the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as part of the agency's 10 years in the making Rosetta mission.

Live comet landing watched by millions? The lead scientist chose to wear this awesome shirt.

Second Life Real Estate Purchase Goes Horribly Wrong
by Chris Person
DarendukesPeople play this game? And actually buy stuff in it?
Second Life has always been one of the strangest virtual spaces. It's an odd mixture of totally earnest role players, professional sellers and weird-as-hell trolls. And buying or selling something in it looks like it can turn into a total nightmare, fast.

Weird Al Did a Radio Shack Christmas Commercial Because It's 1989 Again
by Jay Hathaway
Two things you remember from the '80s that now look completely different, "Weird Al" Yankovic and Radio Shack, have joined forces to sell you batteries. The only way you can tell we haven't stumbled through a wormhole to 25 years ago is that they're also trying to sell you flying drones.

Woman Removes Part of Brain in Attempt to Cure Seizures Induced by Ne-Yo
by Andy Cush
DarendukesThis.
Zoe Fennessy, who suffers from a rare condition called musicogenic epilepsy, doesn't particularly dislike Ne-Yo's music, it's just that whenever she hears it, she freezes up and begins vomiting uncontrollably. In June, the 26-year-old had brain surgery in an attempt to ease her symptoms, but it didn't work.

The Tragically Boring Kickstarters That Got Zero Dollars From Backers

Have any interest in funding a zombie outbreak response team? How about an eight-foot-tall sculpture of a hummingbird, or the children's book Ants in the Plants at Gramp's? Do these Wig Hatz 4 Cancer inspire you to open your wallet? If you answered "yes" to any of them, congratulations: You're the only person who ever has.

Watch Pilot For Orson Welles' Little-Known Version Of The Twilight Zone
by Lauren Davis
The Orson Welles Show would have been Citizen Kane director's answer to anthology TV series like Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. The show never made it past the pilot, however, leaving us with just one brilliant episode about an endocrinologist and an apparent fountain of youth.

A Toddler That Isn't Half-Bad At Driving Games
by Chris Person
DarendukesAdorable. And infuriating to know that a toddler is better at racing games than me.
One of the joys of fatherhood is sharing the thing you love with your child. If you're a car nut, it's never too early to have them practice on a driving simulator.

You Can Thank The Nazis For Your Video Game Controllers
by Jason Torchinsky
DarendukesShort, yet interesting read.
Actually, fuck the Nazis. Don't thank them for anything. Even if we're not going to do any thanking, I'm at least going to let you know that the first practical application of the electronic joystick — basically the same thing used on every modern video game system — was developed by them. For guiding missiles, because Nazis don't get fun.

Yes, Super Mario 64 has been around for nearly 20 years. No, that doesn't mean people have stopped coming up with new ways to play it. Introducing Mario 64: Chaos Edition. It's the strangest, most frightening thing.
