Japanese game show: treadmill
madness. What makes the game is
the starter’s pistol. “Okay, everybody get ready ... “

Cartoon gaming reviews by Ben “Yahtzee”
Croshaw.
I rarely “game” these days (two hours a year, say) but these videos are
swell, think “Screenwipe” which I discussed earlier. Recommended: MOH
Airborne
and
Peggle.
The McGurk effect.
[wiki] Absolutely disquieting.
And then there’s this optical

A tour of the Mythbusters
shop. This is just for anyone
who has watched the show more than a few times – it’s Jamie showing the
best bits of one room of tools and gadgets but then there’s the realization
that one of the standard telephone stations is improperly stocked.
Two calculators? No. One calculator. Bonus points: the camera
operator is the station stocker. A shop is only as good as its access to
Sharpie® pens. Singular. Pen.
Chocolade Haas. Apparently
made for pre-schoolers (“NOOOOOOOOO BUNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”).
Filling a hole.
