Why D&D Is So Much Better Than Fantasy Football



I wonder if there is some sort of LARPing equivalent for fantasy football. Like where players would go out and physically simulate the actions of football players on the field.

The Design Evolution of the Lightsaber



This infographic, created by someone called "Pest", shows how the lightsaber changed over the years. I didn't realize that there were so many colors. I prefer the manly shade of red for my own sidearm.

Darth Vader Does a Penalty Kick


(YouTube Link)


This is a commercial for, I guess, a telecommunications provider. Question: was it cheating for Vader to use the Force?

Incredible Hulk/Spider-Man Toilet Paper


(YouTube Link)


In 1979, Marvel printed an Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man comic book on toilet paper. I'm not sure if this is disgraceful or awesome, but I'm leaning toward the latter. io9 has selected sheets from the roll at the link.

Milk Jug Cap Stop-Motion Animation


(YouTube Link)


A fellow named Matt made this stop-motion animated video using milk jug caps as his medium. He spray painted the caps the appropriate colors, placed LEGO blocks inside the caps, and then fixed them as needed onto a base board that likewise had flat LEGO blocks on the surface. The result was this nifty video illustrating several classic video games, including Pac-Man and Pong.

Labels from Bruce Campbell's Soup



Today is Bruce Campbell Day (PBUH), so Sci Fi Wire decided to create four labels for Campbell's Soup cans that have the actor's name and deeds inscribed upon them. They are "Bisque o' County Jr," "Cream of Darkness," "Gumbo Ho-Tep," and "Autolycus Cheese." You can download and print them at the link.

And may The Bruce be with you during today's festivities.

Super Force Amanda!


(YouTube Link)


At first glance, this looks like a clip from a forgotten 80s children's cartoon. The details are great, such as the station logo in the upper-left corner and the YouTube title designating this video as part of episode 12. But it's actually a clever parody of one little bit of modern Internet life. Enjoy this short adventure of Princess Galactica and Marshall Renegade created by the animation house SFA.
