If you haven’t already seen it, this is a 20-minute review of Avatar by the same monotonously voiced cat who did the nearly hour-long Phantom Menace review . It’s pretty good. Not as good as you’re looking this morning, but God must have put diamonds in your eyes or some shit because you are lookin’ finer than a steak dinner. Are you getting this, romance writers? I’m thinking about holding a workshop. Hit the jump for part two.

Marc Stromberg went and developed an augmented reality t-shirt that allows you to play paper rock scissors with yourself via webcam and computer. You just put the shirt on, go to THIS special website, and you’ll be yelling at your laptop for cheating in no time. Dynamite?! DYNAMITE?! Why you cheating son of a robot whore!! Hit the jump for a video of all the fun to be had, along with a printable version of the symbol so you can play.

Maybe you already knew this because you’re a Hogwarts graduate but Universal Studios is opening a Harry Potter themed section of its Islands of Adventure park in Orlando this spring. Magic! From what i can tell it’s gonna be like three rides ( NSFW ) and twelve ridiculously overpriced restaurants and stores. Whee! (Get me a new wizard hat) Speaking of Harry Potter, you know what I saw the other day? Some grown-ass adult driving around with a ‘My Parents Blatantly Hid My Hogwarts Acceptance Letter’ bumper sticker on his car. So you know what I did? I honked to get his attention and then waved my own little wand at him. Yeah, it was pretty magical. Official Site Thanks to evan, who cast off his wizard robe and hat and was subsequently banned from all amusement parks.

This is a video of a Polish truck driver drifting his semi (sans trailer) for a minute straight. It was pretty impressive and definitely put those asshats in ‘The Fast And Furiously Beating Off To Modified Civics’ to shame. Per the video uploader: best driver from poland kopiowanie bez zezwolenia zabronione!!! komentarze z ksywami lub nazwiskami ewentualnych drajwerow beda usuwane I have no idea what that said but I assume they just called me something dirty. OH REALLY? Well how many Polish guys does it take to drift a truck? 10. One to sit in a stationary truck and 9 to not know how to fake it with CGI. BU-BU-BU-BURN! Youtube Thanks to mike, who once drifted a dump truck for eight minutes before all the wheels blew off and it barrel rolled into an embankment. Awesome.

Jonathan Trappe went and attached 55 industrial strength helium balloons to an office chair and took to the skies above North Carolina . Just like a bird. After spending two years in training and upwards of £45,000 (~$74K) on the adventure, this was the technical project manager’s first ever cluster balloon flight. He reached a height of 14,783 feet after strapping the industrial-strength balloons to the steel-cased chair and setting off from an airport in North Carolina. ‘I took two years before this flight gaining my Federal Aviation Administration licence to fly helium balloons as well as hot air balloons,’ said Mr Trappe. Using only a sharp knife to burst the balloons, Mr Trappe explained the difference between bursting a normal party balloon and one used in cluster ballooning. ‘Every time you burst the balloon there follows a juddering shot,’ he said. Not to burst your balloon, Jonathan, but real adventurers don’t spend $75K and two years training for an adventure. Nope, real adventurers spend $200 at Party Central and a drunken afternoon tying balloons to a patio chair. Just sayin’, you make Balloon Boy look like Indiana Jones. And that little bitch just hid in an attic . Hit the jump for a couple more shots from the “adventure”.

This is a video of a Japanese man flying around a television studio with a homemade jetpack strapped on. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the video to play here at work so I’ve had to rely on the word of my tipsters. So, give it to me straight — is it as awesome as I’d hoped? I got had, didn’t I? Gotdamnit. Japanese Jet Pack [stupidvideos] Thanks to Austin and TobyRaider, who are both jerks.

Party Rats are little light-emitting rings in the shape of rats you wear when you’re high on ecstasy at a rave and want to impress the girl with the candy necklace on. Just remember: spirit fingers!! What? You haven’t heard of Party Rats! You’re kidding, right? They’re the best thing to happen to partying since the mirror ball. People of all ages are putting these colorful, plastic, rodent lights on their fingers and waving their hands in the air like they just don’t care. Each 1-3/4″ long rat sends out a different colored beam of light, allowing you to create your own personal light show! Also great for the latest computer craze, night blogging! Ah, yes, night blogging. And a guy who’s no stranger to sitting at his computer all hours of the night with his pants around his ankles….SHUT UP THAT’S HOW I DO IT, OKAY?! Don’t question my creative process. Also, one time I bit through a glowstick and didn’t know until the tube was empty. Yeah, my urine glowed . Product Site Thanks to Nathan, who had actual lasers implanted in the tips of his fingers and is blind in one eye from rubbing it. You gotta think before you act, Nathan.

HA! That brought a smile to my face . Which is good because I’ve been struggling ever since that last lamb post . Internet gods have feelings too, you know. Or so I’ve heard. But blogging hacks definitely do. Well That Was Easy. [epicwinftw] Thanks to Gareth, who accidentally saved page instead of Zelda. Jesus, they don’t even look alike.
