She-Hulk season one is over, and while it isn’t the greatest Marvel show ever, we got some good laughs from its self-referential humor.

Looks like the Adulting Party Game’s creators get a kick out of Wink’s For Days’ Adulting Merit Badges like we do, ‘cause they’ve turned the idea into a silly charades game. Players randomly pick an adulting task badge and act it out using props, noises, whatever. A fun way to delay actual chores.

Purveyor of weird, wild, and wonderful objects Archie McPhee expands its already bizarre collection of candy canes with three new flavors.

Filmmaker Steve Cutts animated short film explores one thing that’s been consistent throughout our existence – the need to have what others don’t – and the willingness to fight each other for it.

Thermal cameras can be useful for finding people in the dark and for conducting inspections, but would having heat vision as a full-time superpower be a blessing or a curse?

The DragonForce track Through the Fire and Flames is widely regarded as one of the hardest songs to play in music pattern-matching games.

Adam from North of the Border answers another question that nobody was asking: What would a Pikachu look like if it was a real animal.

It’s been a while since we got a lesson from the Sam O’Nella Academy, but after a nearly 3-year hiatus from YouTube, the snarky educator takes us back to school to learn about scientific animal names and where they come from. Those taxonomy mnemonics are just as good as the ones on TV Funhouse.
