Patrick Stewart’s voice is quite distinctive, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be copied. As a matter of fact, Brent Spiner (Data on Star Trek: TNG) even fooled Stewart’s wife – for a few seconds.

A loving tribute to NASA, the end of the Shuttle program and decades of space exploration, set to the words of Carl Sagan, along with incredible, moving imagery from Earth and beyond.

Nathan Drake channels John McClane in this trailer for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, showing that he’s both a caring lover and a persistent fighter. And also keeps on falling off large vehicles.

Is eating spaghetti too challenging for you? There’s an app for that! Actually, no. But there is an invention for that, and it’s so ridiculous that you’ll probably run out and order one now.

It’s a standard globe under normal light. But it literally shines the most when it’s dark: LED lights softly glow and mimic the look of our planet at night when viewed from space.

If you thought this cat was just being weird, well, this makes two of them. We need a vet to pop in and drop some knowledge here, because surely there must be some explanation for this. Gif here.

A bunch of penguins pop by for a visit, when they hear it’s feeding time and head for the pond. At least most of them do. Somebody, take that little dude under their wing and show him the ropes.

In the late 70’s, Guitarist and master luthier Keith Medley conceived this unique creation with 21 more strings than most people will ever be able to play. He uses it to perform his original compositions.

Richard Sargent (no, not that Dick Sargent) created this robot-laden illustration, filled with bots from R2-D2 to Rosie the Robot to Bender to Woody Allen in Sleeper. But we dare you to find Wall-E.

A proto-animated short film by Alexey Minchenok. Young Master 4: Stone and Iron presents the classic master-student story with clever and sparing use of drawings, music and sound effects.

A short animated film by Ting Tey puts wild animals on a single narrow bridge, with no way to cross. As it progresses, it teaches a little tale about stubbornness, pride and (eventually) compromise.

There’s no getting a soccer (or foot) ball past this guy. That’s because it’s Robokeeper, a goal tender with lightning-fast reflexes that never misses a ball. Guess it’s time for a Robokicker. Or Robocop.

Contemporary musicians including OK Go, Weezer, My Morning Jacket, Sondre Lerche, and Andrew Bird take on classic Muppet tunes. Preview the entire album over at NPR Music: First Listen.

The Dubstep sound is getting played out, but slather it on top of an ample helping of plasma weapons and VFX and we’ll crank our speakers up to 11 anyhow. Nice finishing move at the end there.

If you’ve ever thought that Tom Waits sounds a little like Cookie Monster, what with that raspy baritone growl, you’d be 100% correct. Mashups don’t get much better than this.

We’re truly grateful for the conveniences of modern urban life. But it does leave us disconnected and overwhelmed sometimes, as shown in this short film directed by Falko Tilgner.

Bill Hammack explains why it’s better to have one line for multiple checkout lanes than a line per cashier, and why in the case of the latter the grass is indeed (often) greener on the other side.

We know this is a basic optical illusion, but seeing it brought to life in 3-dimensions by brusspup still makes our heads hurt trying to figure out why our eyeballs see two different shades of grey.

In preparation for CoD: Black Ops’ Rezurrection downloadable zombie map pack, the team gives us a little background into their lab research into zombie behavior – and optimal killing techniques.
