“Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg has invited you to a Facebook event.” A Pokemon Go walk, with a few friends? Sounds awesome. We’ve got three gyms in the park across the road alone, this should make for a chilled Sunday walk — weather permitting. *clicks attend*

Watch These Dudes Deflect Roman Candle Firework Blasts With A Lightsabre 

Video: The biggest regret of my life right now is not being as smart as these two geniuses, who battled out Roman candle fireworks with lightsabres like they were Jedi knights.

For nearly 20 years, various scripts and ideas and rumours circulated until Paul Feig’s new reboot, opening July 14, finally put the possibility to rest.
