Zombie: Acoustic Cover
A wonderful unplugged cover version of The Cranberries’ 1994 classic Zombie, as performed by musician Vedran Djurasovic, who brings a warmer approach to the track than the grunge sounds of the original.
2017 Kia Cadenza SXL
Looking for a truly luxurious ride that won’t kill your bank account? The new Cadenza looks fantastic, offers quiet comfort, a smooth ride, a huge cabin, and is packed with premium features and tech usually associated with much pricier rides. Read our full review on 95octane.
Conan Plays Polo
“The name of my horse is Dante… the name of your horse is Fat Tina.” Conan met with ace polo player and model Nacho Figueras to learn how to play polo. He ended up being insulted by his horse and having his hair defiled.
Fitrocks
Work out like a caveman with these prehistoric style dumbbells, kettlebells, ropebells, clubbells, and gripbells made from hunks of granite. Their handles are made from Finnish birch wood. (Thanks Kema!)
Bear Takes a Seat
A reminder that not every encounter with a bear ends up like The Revenant. While shooting wildlife pics, this photographer was approached by a brown bear who decided to sit down right next to him. If it weren’t shot back in 2014, we’d be wondering if it were Adam Savage.
Making a Bamboo Fishing Rod
If you thought that you could just stick a piece of fishing line on a piece of bamboo and call it a day, you’d be very wrong. Nick Taransky does it the right way, paistakingly handcrafting a proper split bamboo fly rod that we’d be truly proud to own.
Grovemade x Joey Roth Speakers
Wooden peripheral maker Grovemade teamed up with industrial designer Joey Roth to create a pair of beautiful speakers. Made of either solid maple or walnut, the speakers are CNC-machined on the inside with a back-loaded horn design to increase bass and reduce distortion.
Animal Bloopers
We’re on the tail end of the dog days of summer, so now is the perfect time to check out the best bloopers, fails and attacks with all sorts of animals from News Be Funny. The Greek reporter with the horse is an instant classic. (Thanks, Comedy Wizard!)
Slow Dance Picture Frame
This unique display piece makes objects placed inside of it appear to move in slow motion. The trick is the use of an electromagnet and strobe lights that blink so fast you can’t see them. It only makes sense that it was designed by Time Warp host Jeff Lieberman.
Mazda MX-5 RF Launch Edition
A limited-edition of just 1,000 of the 2017 retractable roof fastback Miata. The MX-5 RF Launch Edition comes in Grand Touring trim, and has just one option – a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic. Each buyer will also receive a custom 42mm Tourneau watch as a memento.
Assassin’s Creed: The Leap of Faith
This behind-the-scenes featurette for the Assassin’s Creed movie shows how they recreated the game’s trademark leap of faith mechanic. Stuntman Damien Walters actually did a 125ft freefall, but not into a stack of hay.
The World’s Deadliest Garden
Great Big Story takes us on a trip to Alnwick Castle’s Poison Garden, an oddity which grows only plants which are capable of causing major harm. The garden currently has about 100 varieties of deadly plant life. We’re guessing they don’t have any problems with vermin.
Instant Buzz
A fantastic Japanese commercial for Nissin Chikin Ramen, in which a girl sees her noodles swiped by a drone, and she must hunt down her lunch through a crazy, adventure-filled world packed with viral video tropes. Seriously, this commercial has every possible thing in it.
ICON Reformer Caprice Classic
ICON founder Jonathan Ward showcases one of his company’s most oddball builds yet. It’s a Chevrolet Caprice that used to be cop car. The owner wanted it to be “under the radar but intimidating” and is filled with gadgets and travel gear.
Stone Island Nylon Overshirt
Stone Island’s slim outerwear is made of lightweight nylon with a lustrous finish. It has a jersey-lined interior, a hidden chest pocket, a 2-way zipper and a removable sleeve patch. Available in black and navy.
FiberFix Is So Manly
The idea of rolling off a cliff in any car – even surrounded by a roll cage – is pretty terrifying. This ad spot for FiberFix shows what happens when you hold together the roll cage with tape instead of welds. Then it gets way better than that old ’80s Krazy Glue commercial.
Rubik’s Cube vs. Usain Bolt
On a good day, we can solve a Rubik’s Cube in about a half hour, but Anthony Brooks can do it in just a few seconds. Here, he proves his speed by taking on Olympic gold-medal winner Usain Bolt’s incredible speed.
Return of the Caped Crusaders
1960’s Batman stars Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar voice a new, feature-length animated movie. It’s kind of refreshing to have see their quirky, lighthearted take on the characters after the truly depressing Bats we’ve been dealing with on the big screen lately.
Pac-Dog
Twinkie the Jack Russell Terrier loves to chomp on balloons, so her popping obsession served as the perfect setup for a game of Pac-Man, in which she gobbles up every single power pill in the maze, finishing a level much faster than most humans could do.
Cavemen Economics
(PG-13 Language) Ever wonder how the ideas of money, banking, and lending first started? Australian comedy series Soul Mates provides their take on the very first transaction between cavemen, and how it may have created the world’s first economic system.
Kingsglaive: FF XV (First 12 Min.)
The opening moments of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV introduces the root of the conflict and Aaron Paul’s character Nyx Ulric, one of the elite soldiers in the magic-wielding kingdom of Lucis. Nyx and his fellow Kingsglaive are strong, but their enemies have machines and monsters.
DJ Pizza Box
As a promotional stunt, Pizza Hut UK worked with printed electronics outfit Novalia to create a unique cardboard pizza box, which can be used to control smartphone DJ apps via Bluetooth. We wonder if it still works if you got cheese and tomato sauce on it.
