Stop Underestimating Your Printer

The only time I recall using my printer in the last few months was when I tried out printing from my iPad. Why am I not taking full advantage of the long list of things I can do with it? The New York Times has an article remarking on all the things we forget—or don’t…

Cee Lo’s “Fuck You” As Performed By An Angry Nintendo NES

Most of us are familiar with the popular song “Fuck You” by Cee Lo, but I doubt many of us realized just how perfectly the tune could be applied to one of gaming’s most torrid feuds: Nintendo vs Sega. The song parody was created by Brendan Becker (also known as Inverse Phase) and is intended…

Six Great Houses With Built-In Slides

When we analyzed the plans for Steve Jobs’ future home, we found one very important upgrade to be missing: A slide.

“The Event” gets awesome with double-conspiracy goodness

Last night’s episode of The Event took the show from shaky Lost ripoff series to explosively awesome conspiracy weirdness. There were still some rough patches, but for the most part the episode made all the right moves. What was great about last night’s episode, “To Keep Us Safe,” was that it sucked us right into…

Slide Home Gallery

I’m not so sure I’d want to use a concrete slide on particularly hot days, but I still have to admit that this one looks particularly fun. It was designed by the architects at Aboday for an Indonesian “Play House” and goes from a bedroom to the kitchen. [Dezeen via Gizmodo] https://gizmodo.com/slide-into-home-5642077 I don’t know…

DIY Home Slides Gallery

Looking at this DIY 60-foot slip ‘n’ slide both terrifies and excites me. Apparently the secret to building it was waiting until the home owners were out of town and then following these somewhat confusing instructions: The slide is made of eight strips of plywood (2 foot by 8 foot). Underneath the slide 3 rows…

“No Ordinary Family” is a messy mix of superhero fun and melodramatic cliches

The premiere of No Ordinary Family, ABC’s family superhero drama, featured lots of fun superhero action…but a lot of cliched family drama dreariness. This is definitely a work in progress, but there’s a fun superhero show buried in here somewhere. No Ordinary Family is actually about three different shows that were, at least in this…

What if…Batman vs. Predator had been a summer flop in the 1990s?

The 1991 miniseries Batman vs. Predator was the apotheosis of a great comic crossover, as it contained a prolonged sequence of Batman beating the Predator with a baseball bat. But what if this comic had been a mid-90s total bomb? For those of you who have never read Batman vs. Predator, it’s an easy plot…

The scenes that were too campy to be included in the campiest Star Wars knock-off

Would you believe that StarCrash, the ridonkulous space opera starring Caroline Munro and David Hasselhoff, was even campier before it was edited for U.S. release? The masterful new 2-DVD set includes loads of deleted scenes, including this batshit supervillain moment. The utterly essential Shout Factory release, created as part of its new Roger Corman Cult…
