Isn’t it the worst when you have 100 of your closest friends over for an exciting round of Super Mario Kart only to realize that the game only has eight characters, and that the Super Nintendo Entertainment System only has two controller ports? Instead of leaving nearly 100 of your friends out in the cold, they can all play thanks to a strange and beautiful new hack of the game courtesy of Hat-Loving Gamer.

While it seems unlikely that 101 players would be able to provide input at once without the computer exploding as it tries to manage all that activity, a video demonstrating the hack does show a single player competing against 100 other characters. Even Mario Kart 8, the most recent entry of the franchise, has only 30 playable characters, so Hat-Loving Gamer had to get creative and pull some racers from other franchises. Characters seen in ...

Astronaut Tim Peake posted a time lapse video from the International Space Station (ISS) that caught a particularly striking view of lightening as it flew over Earth. According to the caption, all these lightening strikes happened in a matter of minutes:

We may never get another Saved By The Bell Reunion, what with Screech’s social calendar being dominated by his stint in jail, but fans in Chicago can soon indulge in the next best thing. No, not a viewing party for Saved By The Bell: The College Years—it’s actually a theme pop-up bar and diner, dedicated to The Max and its pimply patrons. The “Saved By The Max” parody pop-up bar and diner is not affiliated with NBC or Rysher Entertainment, and will instead act as an unauthorized homage, a la the Lifetime movie and its low-rent stand-ins.

Like the George Costanza-themed bar before it, “Saved By The Max” will feature food and libations named after the sitcom’s characters: There will be A.C. Sliders and Preppy BLTs, the latter of which will presumably be served on white bread. There will also be a costume contest with ...

Noela Rukundo lived happily in Australia with her husband Balenga Kalala until she left to visit her the country of Burundi where she grew up for her stepmother's funeral. 

In Burundi, she stepped out for some air after finishing a phone call with her loving husband to meet a man with a gun pointed at her.  Under the threat of death, she did what he told her to do and was taken to a secluded place where her kidnappers met with other gang members. Fortunately for her, the hitmen her husband sent to kill her were principled. 

They told her they don't kill women and children so after some theatrics over the phone, during which she heard her own husband command them to "Kill her" and the hitmen demanded more money and told him that she was dead. 

With evidence from her would-be killers she headed home to crash her own funeral. She showed up right as mourning friends and family were leaving her husband's home.

According to TVLine, Matt Czuchry will be returning to Gilmore Girls for its four-part revival on Netflix, reprising his role as the lovable(?) jackass Logan Huntzberger. This is the news that a lot of Gilmore Girls fans have dreaded since the revival was announced, because it means there’s a chance that Rory will either get back together with him or consider getting back together with him, both of which are unacceptable. Everyone except the most frustrating contrarians know that Rory is supposed to be with Jess, or, barring that, she should be out kicking ass on her own because she doesn’t need some man to drag her down.

This casting update comes only a couple of days after Melissa McCarthy revealed that she hasn’t been asked to return for the Gilmore Girls revival, which either means that Czuchry and Logan are significantly more important to the storyline ...
