We think Drake and Future’s combo mixtape would’ve been better off without the online hype. It’s no Compton, but it’s a solid effort. Drake’s doing his angry Kanye impression and Future’s still mumbling. Nice beats though.

A compilation of spectacular wheelies, flips, spills and tumbles from Norway’s NEZ Formula Offroad championship, as these sturdy off-road buggies climb loose piles of sand and dirt. All we can say is, thank goodness for roll cages.

Yep, there’s an Angry Birds feature film. We were apathetic until we saw the cast: Josh Gad, Jason Sudeikis, Peter Dinklage, Danny McBride, Tony Hale, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Keegan-Michael Key and Bill Hader. It couldn’t be any worse than Super Mario Bros., right?

(PG-13 Language) Node got its hands on an early copy of Valve’s virtual reality demo Aperture Robot Repair and played it using Valve and HTC’s Vive headset. It’s quite brief and only has a few interactive aspects, but it’s still impressive.
