Chris Pratt, of Parks and Recreation fame, stars in this silly little spot for Star Wars Kinect on Xbox. One question remains-Is Darth Vader evil enough to cut down a Jedi wearing nothing but briefs and an undershirt?

A real life Hamburglar is running around stealing burgers in Augusta, Maine and no Big Mac is safe. Here's the scoop:

According to Lt. Christopher Massey of the Augusta Police, a young man wearing red jeans reportedly grabbed the goods as they were being handed to a customer by an employee.

Massey tracked the alleged thief down to a nearby Arby’s parking lot, but he managed to escape into the woods with the loot.

The restaurant prepared a new meal for the victims and told Massey that this sort of thing “does happen occasionally.”

Now that's what I call hard up for a hamburger!

Riley is an adventurous little Corgi who loves going on hikes with his owner, this time around the Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles.

As you watch this video you may ask yourself-does Riley have a little cameraman riding on his back, shooting this action packed footage?

Sadly the answer is no, it's just a GoPro camera strapped to his back, although I think they should consider using a teacup Chihuahua cameraman for future video shoots.

Tabletop role playing game enthusiasts will tell you that the fun definitely doesn't end with Dungeons & Dragons. Settings for RPGs are only limited by the imagination, and the creators often come up with some far out and interesting worlds in which to play.

James Daniels at Topless Robot has put together a list of RPGs with unique settings, and having played a few of the games on the list I must say he has chosen some really classic games.

So, if you're like me and you enjoy your gaming in a tabletop setting with friends, you might just find your next campaign source on this list of truly unique RPGs.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the king of awkward narration, since he loves to ramble on about whatever is happening on the screen and clearly doesn't understand the point of DVD commentary.

This time around the movie is Terminator 3, so it comes complete with mandroid booty and some gloriously goofy statements and observations by Arnold. (NSFW-naked bootay)

Well, it turns out that Mallrats character Willam's quest to see the sailboats in the magic eye picture was all for naught, because with a little Photoshop magic it has been revealed that there aren't any sailboats there at all! Way to make the poor guy obsess over nothing Kevin Smith!

These Turkish knockoff Star Wars action figures have actually become a big hit with avid collectors, and I must admit they do have a certain crappy charm about them.

Maybe it's the colorful renaming of characters (see: Head Man), or maybe it's the new packaging photos (the Imperial Gunner looks like he's playing with a giant calculator). Aw heck, it's the whole darn 99 cent store looking package!

Thanks, Turkey, for showing us just how good our action figures really are, and how nowadays even crappy knockoffs can create a niche in the collector's market.

Lots of things go well with an ice cold beer in hand: pizza, ball games, bowling, and, of course, video games. Gaming while getting your buzz on can make the whole experience more enjoyable, and may help ease the pain of utter defeat on the virtual battlefield.

8-Bit Pale Ale knows your pain, and they're hoping to appeal to drunken gamers everywhere with the pixel art designs on their can, but does their Pale Ale taste as good as the competition, or is it just a bad beer wrapped in an appealing label?

I find these silly little optical illusions quite entertaining when I come across one on the interwebs, but when the theme relates to superheroes I have to post them here at Neatorama. This time around it's an easy choice: Wolverine Or 2 Bat Men? (Hint: both answers are correct!)

Fans of the Bioshock video game series (like me!) are getting mighty excited about the upcoming release of Bioshock: Infinite later this year, so it's no wonder we watch everything related to Bioshock that comes out on the interwebs in order to get our Rapture fix.

To tide us over until the new game is released, here's an entertaining Bioshock themed short film, which deals with the events that took place in Rapture before the first game on that fateful New Years Eve, 1958.

Jessica Lloyd Jones creates rather unique representations of vital organs out of blown glass, then she adds neon to each piece to add a glow of life energy. Here's what Jessica has to say about her works:

Blown glass human organs encapsulate inert gases displaying different colours under the influence of an electric current. The human anatomy is a complex, biological system in which energy plays a vital role. Brain Wave conveys neurological processing activity as a kinetic and sensory, physical phenomena through its display of moving electric plasma. Optic Nerve shows a similar effect, more akin to the blood vessels of the eye and with a front ‘lens’ magnifying the movement and the intensity of light. Heart is a representation of the human heart illuminated by still red neon gas. Electric Lungs is a more technically intricate structure with xenon gas spreading through its passage ways, communicating our human unawareness of the trace gases we inhale in our breathable atmosphere.

If you haven't visited the Tumblr site known as Awkward Stock Photos, you're missing out on a daily dose of hilarious photography which embodies the elusive WTF factor.

Occasionally there are NSFW images included, but since they're supposed to be stock photos usable for advertising, videos, etc. they're mostly just ridiculously strange, which makes it hard to figure out what the photographers were thinking when they took these oddball pics.

Take a gander at the site, and if it tickles your funny bone I guarantee you'll be checking back to see what sort of strange new images have been posted.

The works of Agnes-Cecile (aka Silvia Pelissero) are not only hauntingly beautiful, they have that messy perfection I love to see in paintings and watercolor works.

Recently, Agnes-Cecile has contributed to the 1000 Drawings charity event in Amsterdam, raising money to “support FairPen, which helps children in Uganda to run an editorial office with their peers, investigate issues, think critically, and publish handwritten, hand-drawn newspapers to each other and to their local communities.”

You can watch Agnes-Cecile in action at the Creep Machine link below, where you'll find a short video showing her create the piece pictured above from beginning to end. It's rather cool to see her hand at work, and may inspire you to try your hand at some watercolor works of your own.

What's better than watching a cheesy B movie made decades ago? Watching the whole thing in just over three minutes, which some of you might still find to be a bit too long.

Thanks to the purveyors of fine retro cheese known as Everything Is Terrible you can get your fill of Can It Be Love? without wanting to blow your brains out. And the big buff guy doing a terrible impression of Ahnold in Terminator comes free with the price of admission!

(NSFW for one bad word) --thanks to Chew for letting me know that the original flick is actually from 1992! Title edit away!

Five high school students from Marin County and San Francisco have teamed up to build their own Viper starship simulator for Maker Faire 2012, so they can play Battlestar Galactica like a real boss.

Their goal is to build a Viper frame with 360 degree motion and simulator screens so you can really feel the space in your face. It's interesting to see how they went from LEGO model to 3d model before actually building the simulator frame, the whole process looks like it was a lot of fun to put together!
