Breaking Bad expertly recreated with GTA V graphics is just fantastic
That’s it. GTA V is such an amazing world that it can be used to create anything. Let’s make movies and full seasons of TV shows using just GTA V graphics because this is just stunning. Here is a Breaking Bad tribute done completely with GTA V and it sums up a decent amount of the series pretty well.
This french fry bun cheeseburger flips my stomach inside out
The end is here. The pinnacle has been reached. Gimmicky hamburger buns no longer need to exist. Stop creating. Because nothing will ever top The Vulgar Chef’s French Fry Burger Bombbecause it makes a bun out of french fries, the hamburger’s natural mouth slush and womb co-inhabitant.
Graph: Which Game of Thrones episode corresponds to which book chapter
This is God’s work. Or at the very least, the work of a Grand Maester. Joeltronics made this very useful graph that shows which episode of Game of Thrones the TV show corresponds to which chapter and which book in the A Song of Ice and Fire books (aka the Game of Thrones books). That way you know what’s been shown…
Video: The powerful final scenes of 33 different movies
Spoiler alert, I guess? Lorenzo Antico made this montage of the dramatic final scenes of 33 different movies. You should recognize a lot of them, as his selection seems to veer toward recent films like Birdman and Her, along with classics like Rocky and others. I almost feel like I watched the entire movie when I see…

The Avengers reimagined as dark fantasy characters is scary great
Artist Daniel Kamarudin made these excellent illustrations that reimagines The Avengerscharacters as you know it. He took what we saw in the Marvel movies and turned them darker and added more of a fantasy flair to them. His depictions are great, I wouldn’t mind reading a story illustrated in this way.
Watch a master optician work at his craft
A master optician sounds like some form of wizardry but that’s basically what Peter Thelin, master optician at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is. He can make telescopes and microscopes and pretty much turn and shape and hand-polish any and all optical materials in his lab. It’s fun to hear him talk about his…
This scooter triple backflip doesn't look physically possible but it is
R Willy, the crazy scooter-er in this stunt, looks like he’s flipping an infinite amount of times but it’s actually just a triple backflip. Oh and it just so happens to be the first triple backflip on a scooter ever. I’ve watched the clip multiple times over and have gasped every time it seems like he’s just about to…
Beautiful photo shows white dwarf stars moving away from a star cluster
Like a celestial Rorschach test, I can see so many things when I stare at this wonderful photo captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. It’s like static on a TV. Or like a crowded future city lit by buildings stacked on buildings. But what it really is is even cooler: it’s the first time pictures have been taken of…
This jet-powered go kart is basically a fire breathing monster on wheels
Life demanded it so the mad genius that is Colin Furze delivered a jet-powered go kart that can go as fast as cars on a highway. The jet-powered go kart is so ridiculous it basically spits out fire while you drive it. I mean, the metal pipes turns orange because it burns so hot. What a beast.
Video: A fascinating portrait of a steam plant's chief engineer
Conrad Milster is the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York’s chief engineer and has been working at the power plant for over 50 years. Conrad Milster is also such a wonderful character and this short doc on his life is such a joy to watch. You get to see the old technology and gear of the steam plant along with his…
Every crazy thing you need to know about the Mad Max saga
Before you blow your eyeballs out by watching the moving fireball that will be Mad Max: Fury Road, catch up with 12 pretty interesting tidbits about the original Mad Max series. It’s truly impressive how spectacular and dangerous the stunts were in the first film given how tiny the budget was (only $350,000).
The violent and bloody scenes of Quentin Tarantino movies
No one uses blood and gore and violence in movies like Quentin Tarantino does. Though it certainly drips and probably soaks through a lot of his movies, his scenes with blood can almost be balletic. Well, an excessive ballet, at least. Here’s a collection of some of the bloodiest scenes. NSFW and all that, naturally.
This is a real photo of different types of food cut into identical cubes
My eyes mislead me. Even though this photo looks so perfect that it must be CGI’d or digitally manipulated, it’s not, it’s completely real. Artists Lernert and Sander took raw food—you can see meat and seafood and fruits and vegetables—and cut them into perfectly identical cubes and laid them out to form a perfect…
Watch a musician play every instrument in a 70-person orchestra at once
This is great. Ben Morfitt cleverly and hilariously recorded a video of himself playing every instrument of a 70-person orchestra at the same time. It looks like he’s conducting an entire orchestra of musicians but it’s really an expertly edited cut of 70 versions of himself playing all at once.
Video: A tour of an abandoned asylum is the eeriest thing
Yeesh. Project Senium took a tour of an abandoned asylum and seeing the decay and emptiness and mess is quite unsettling. And then imagining the stories the walls could tell and then thinking about the people who walked through the halls and then having to convince yourself that ghosts aren’t real sure makes your…
Watch two maniacs ride a motorcycle through a 393-foot fire hell tunnel
I found the entrance to hell and it’s this nearly 400-foot long tunnel of fire. When Enrico Schoeman and André de Kock hop on their motorcycle and burn through the tunnel, it looks like they’re on the surface of the Sun. The tunnel reaches temperatures of 900 degrees and you can’t even see where you’re going when…
8-bit Captain America: The Winter Soldier is almost as fun as the movie
Captain America: The Winter Soldier smartly buoyed what could have been a pretty bland character with other fun ones which all added up to a really fun movie. One of Marvel’s best, probably. Here it is summed up in 8-bit video game style, which Captain America looks great in.
Short film: A tragic story told from a unique view entirely up above
Billy Lumby’s God View is a short film about a tragic day in the life of Philip, a mentally unwell man. It’s filmed very uniquely, from entirely up above him. Like you’re seeing him move around in the real world in a top down video game or looking down on him live his life as God would. The perspective is visually…
Video shows how Disney recycled scenes in its animation movies
Sometimes instead of coming up with new ideas for scenes in movies, it’s just easier to copy your own work. Check out this video that shows how Disney recycled and re-used and repurposed scenes from its movies. Sleeping Beauty is Beauty in the Beast, Robin Hood was used in Snow White and so on.
