Flaming Card Trick

Flaming Card Trick

Stuntman Steve Truglia is also a magician and an expert on gambling cheaters. Here, he does a burn and a card trick to symbolize the pressure that cheaters feel. The trick isn’t great, but we certainly couldn’t do better while on fire.

While music store performances aren’t always the best, you’ve got to hand it to this little old lady who stopped by La Crosse, Wisconsin’s Coalition Drum Shop to turn in an impromptu performance. (Thanks Aaron!)

Cosplayers out of Character

Cosplayers out of Character

We usually see photos of cosplayers hamming it up with their fake weapons and muscles, but CollegeHumor curated this series of geeks doing ordinary things at conventions. We always wondered if superheroes went to the bathroom.

The latest variant of the luxurious S63 AMG sedan turns in an admirable 0 to 60 time of just 3.9 seconds, with the help of a 577hp 5.5L biturbo V8, and a 220 pound weight reduction. And how about that all LCD dashboard?

Minecraft Creeper IRL

Minecraft Creeper IRL

For his latest clip, Richard over at RatedRR lives out many a geek’s fantasy, by obliterating one of those pesky Minecraft Creepers with 30 pounds of real TNT. Unfortunately, one of his GoPros was a casualty, but the big boom was worth it.

12 Years a Slave

Last year Marvel fans at the San Diego Comic-Con were dazzled by Iron Man. This year they were peppered with insults by the God of Lies and Mischief. And they gleefully took it all. Longer video here.

Old Spice: Architect

Old Spice: Architect

We have to hand it to Old Spice’s ad agency. Somehow they’ve managed to have more winners than losers with their ad campaigns, and despite being only 18 seconds long, their latest clip made us do a major spit-take at the end.

The high-tech ninja Hiryu returns for more slicing and dicing in Strider. The video here features the first few minutes of the game. Trailer here. The game will be released in 2014 on the PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Starcher Trek

Starcher Trek

If Sterling Archer were Captain of the Starship Enterprise, it might look something like this. Casting Lana Kane as Uhura is brilliant. Though we’re not sure there are roles for Cheryl or Pam on the bridge. Catch episode two here.

Entertaining the Dolphins

Entertaining the Dolphins

We’re not quite sure what these dolphins think of the girl performing gymnastics in front of their aquarium tank, but one of them seems to be sufficiently amused to break off from its school and take in the free show.

The Revenge of the Beasts

The Revenge of the Beasts

Filmmaker Sebastian Linda wanted to capture the sense of awe that he felt as a kid when he first saw a skateboarder jump. We think he nailed it. The song is Conquest of Spaces by Woodkid. See the making of video here.

Plant Time-Lapse

Plant Time-Lapse

Daniel Csobot captured various plants growing and blossoming. They look like beautiful alien creatures. Csobot used a Canon 7D to shoot the time-lapse; check out his setup here. The track is Digital Hearbeat by Daniel Gautreau.
