While we enjoy hand-carving pumpkins for Halloween, we’d be cool letting this 60,000 psi industrial waterjet cutter perform the task for us. The folks at the Waterjet Channel show how their cutter can crank out a jack-o-lantern in 30 seconds flat.

Auralnauts reinvents the story of Star Wars in this mock trailer which stars C-3PO (or is it Creepio?) as the main protagonist, chopped up from bits of the original trilogy, prequels, and a commercial for breakfast cereal (which we still have a box of in the Awesomer office).

Jay Leno brings out one of his treasures to please his fellow hardcore gearheads. This 98-year-old Bearcat is a mechanical memoir of Harry Stutz, its previous owners and now of Jay as well. Test drive at 16:30. It also possesses the greatest car name ever.

We had high hopes for Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla, but it had far too little destruction for a Kaiju flick. Japan’s Shin Godzilla makes up for that in spades, as is clear from this VFX reel from Shirogumi and StealthWorks, set to a soothing ambient soundtrack.

Street performer Ricky Syers gave his rocker puppet Chopsy a massive upgrade from its tin can drum set. The new kit looks so polished we can barely believe that it’s handmade. This would make for an awesome drum pad.

(PG-13: Language) Mashup master Mylo the Cat combined footage from an episode of the Nickelodeon classic Doug with a hilariously rude conversation between Larry David and Leon Black (J.B. Smoove) from an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

It’s not on the level of Maradona or Messi’s reincarnated run, Zlatan’s long-range arrogance, or Arsenal’s Wilshere special. But this goal from Spanish soccer squad Las Palmas is also one for the ages. The build-up, the pass, the shot. It’s all here.

It took Marek Baczynski and his friend Sven an entire day, and two different drones, but they eventually managed to use a drone to unscrew a light bulb, then screw a fresh bulb into the empty socket. And they only needed nine light bulbs, a broom, and a dustpan to do it!

YouTuber 伝統工芸 青山スクエア shares this video of Noboru Honma creating Yosegi-zaiku, or traditional Japanese parquetry. It involves gluing small sticks of differently colored wood together to create geometric patterns. The resulting block is then shaved into a veneer.

(SPOILERS, PG-13: Language) YouTuber Alt Shift X takes a break from looking into Game of Thrones to share some of his and other fans’ questions and theories about Stranger Things. Head to 3:48 to skip his summary of the show’s first season.

Steve Cutts‘ black and white animated video for Moby and The Void Pacific Choir’s track pays homage to the 1920s & 1930s style of Max & Dave Fleischer, while at the same time commenting on the woes of modern urban life and technological obsession.

(PG-13: Language, Crude humor) “Do you ever pretend that pumpkin is your wife’s head?” Chris Wylde and Darrell Britt-Gibson are back and as misanthropic as ever, this time going on about how much they hate Halloween, their families, and basically the entire world.

Corridor got their hands on a prototype of the year’s most hotly anticipated new toy, the Anki Cozmo Robot, and sent him on a mission to take on an army of angry machines, a couple of which happen to come from Anki’s biggest competitors. Behind the scenes here.

Today I Found Out talks about the history of movie trailers as well as a couple of bonus trivia about this popular form of advertisement. The most important one being that the first trailers were shown in theaters at the end of films, hence their name.

Record-setting stunt pilot Spencer Suderman takes us along for a crazy series of twists, turns, and barrel rolls, over Southern California. We can’t decide if the GoPro’s gimbal setup made us more or less dizzy than a stationary camera.

Looking for idea for an awesome Halloween decoration? We’re sure that Amanda Destro Pierson wouldn’t mind if you borrowed her idea of transforming her garage into a giant pointy-toothed monster. The only thing better would be an image of some cars parked in its mouth.

Neill Blomkamp directed this action-packed adventure for BMW Films, starring Jon Bernthal as a mercenary, and Clive Owen as a skilled driver who must help a mysterious girl (Dakota Fanning) escape from a genetic lab. Naturally, their ride is the shiny new 2017 BMW 540i.

GQ’s early Christmas gift to music fans is Rick Rubin’s unfiltered and free-flowing interview of rapper Kendrick Lamar in the legendary producer’s Malibu home. K-Dot talks about growing up to his parent’s music, admiring Eminem, meditating and more.

We just went off-roading in the new Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, but what we didn’t mention was that we flew to Hawaii to do it. Here’s a brief highlight video of some of the sights we saw on our way to Hana Ranch for the drive.

The Walking Dead is back for its 7th season, and some major sh*t’s about to go down. If you want a quick refresher on what’s led up to this point, John Cleese offers a CliffsNotes version of the first six seasons. From here on out, we will refer to Michonne as “Slicey McGee.”

A little girl finds a magic lamp, and wishes for the one thing we all would wish for – infinite wishes. Things start out innocently enough in TomSka’s latest clip, but things go dark rapidly when the girl decides she’ll do anything to get what she wants.
