Good Times: Robot Unicorn Attack, The Game

Good Times: Robot Unicorn Attack, The Game

Robot Unicorn Attack is a Flash game from Adult Swim in which you control a robot unicorn in a quest to make its dreams come true (collect fairies and charge through giant stars?). It’s highly addictive, and not just because of the soundtrack , although I dare you to come up with a better song . I suggest you all waste a few precious moments of your Friday work-day playing. Trust me — you’ll feel better about yourself knowing you stuck it to the man, if only for a minute. And speaking of sticking it to the man, check it — I’m going to cover the back of my dress shirt in superglue and wait for my boss to initiate the ol’ pat-on-the-back. When he does, he’ll stick and I’ll thrash around yelling “HE’S HITTING ME! ASSAULT, ASSAULT!!” Yep, this promotion’s in the bag. Robot Unicorn Attack Thanks to Jeno, Drew, AJ, G33k, Gir, Isaac and jim, who have all avoided doing a lick of work today. *sniff* I’m just so proud.

Finally!: Armored Golf Carts Now Available

Finally!: Armored Golf Carts Now Available

Let’s face it, golf courses aren’t as safe as they used to be. So I’ll be damned if I’m cruising around the links in an unprotected buggy . Thankfully, now there’s the $45K Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (Atac). *thwack* Fore! GO GO GO!! It weighs just under half a tonne, has bullet-proof windows and contains numerous firing ports. Furthermore it is able to negotiate corridors and lifts. Metaltech says the squat and heavily armoured vehicle can also withstand grenade blasts and last for six hours on a single charge - with a top speed of 25km/h (15mph). Sure being able to withstand grenade blasts is a huge plus, but I feel like those tires are just begging to be popped. I mean, for $45K I was expecting tank treads. Which, haha, of course I’d still drive on the greens! Jesus, it’s not like I’m gonna do donuts (unless I par). ‘Anti-terror buggy’ unveiled by firm in India [bbcnews] Thanks to Mr. H, who developed a crush on Ms. I because they always had to sit next to each other in homeroom.

Pew Pew! Go The Crayola Crayon Rockets

Pew Pew! Go The Crayola Crayon Rockets

John Coker undoubtedly ate crayons (and Play-Doh ) as a child. And when he grew up, he decided to make an 8-pack of giant Crayola crayon rockets and shoot them into the wild blue yonder. Sadly, only four of the eight rockets took to the sky. It’s okay, John, a 50% success rate isn’t bad. Kidding, that’s terrible. Maybe next time you should try those sniffable markers. Love those things. Hit the jump for a couple more shots.

Yes!: RC Millennium Falcon Becomes Reality

Yes!: RC Millennium Falcon Becomes Reality

Been praying night and day for an RC Millennium Falcon roflcopter thingy ? Well God must love you, my friend, because that shit’s coming this fall. For $50. From Hasbro — and here comes my left blow, cause I’m the E-A-Z-Y-G and this is the season to let the real muthaf***in’ GW’s in. Ha, can you believe I just did that? I’m not. Han Solo once bragged that the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs…and now fans can give it their best shot with the all-new Star Wars R/C MILLENNIUM FALCON! For the first time ever, the MILLENNIUM FALCON — the most beloved and iconic Star Wars ship of all-time — is available as an indoor flying remote control vehicle. Measuring an impressive 11 inches long and 8 inches wide, the largest flying Star Wars R/C to date is highly detailed, easy to fly and includes a charging controller and vehicle battery for up to five minutes of flying time. You know, this will be perfect for recreating scenes from Star Wars in my upcoming fan-film. Provided I don’t fly it into the ceiling fan, which, let’s be honest, I haven’t paid my electricity bill in three months. Hasbro’s New RC Flying Millennium Falcon [starwarsblog] Thanks to Monica and mrHiggins, who made the Kessel Run in 9 parsecs and still stopped at a Krispy Creme because the ‘HOT NOW’ light was on.

Hydrogen Airships: Future Of Luxury Transport

Hydrogen Airships: Future Of Luxury Transport

Ever wanted to float around the world in a pyramidal airship filled with enough hydrogen to burst into flames and OH THE HUMANITY! Towering kite-shaped airships could herald a new era of luxury transport following the introduction of the Aircruise concept. Standing 30 metres taller than One Canada Square in Canary Wharf, packing 330,000 cubic metres of hydrogen gas and capable of lifting 396 tonnes, the Aircruise concept features penthouse apartments, bars and dizzying glass viewing floors Silent and pollution free, the Aircruise combines solar power with a primary hydrogen drive for a cruising speed of around 90mph Aircruise was created as the antithesis of a hurried, crowded passenger jet. London-based design and innovation company Seymourpowell wanted to rethink transport - on the premise ’slow is the new fast’ “Slow is the new fast”, really? Because, at least according my love-making, fast is the new — honey why are you crying? What do you mean, “small isn’t the new adequate” either? YOU KNOW MY PUMP BROKE. Aircruise: giant hydrogen airships could herald a new era in luxury travel [telegraph] Thanks to Doug The 64 Year Old Roommate, who may or may not have died on the couch a week ago (I’m gonna poke him with a stick if he doesn’t move by Wednesday).

Dodge Throws In The Towel, Makes Challenger In ‘Furious Fuscia’ For Men

Dodge Throws In The Towel, Makes Challenger In ‘Furious Fuscia’ For Men

Because when you know you’re going down you might as well do it in a big pile of flaming pink shit, Dodge has decided to make ‘Furious Fuscia’ Challengers and market them to men . Chrysler Group is trying to better define its various brands and products as it attempts to claw back lost market share following years of slumping sales and financial cutbacks that ultimately ended in bankruptcy. Photographs don’t really do justice to Furious Fuchsia, Chrysler spokesman Dan Ried insisted, while acknowledging that fuchsia might seem an odd color choice for a male-oriented car. “I saw it in person and it actually looks pretty cool,” he said. “It’s tough to capture how it looks in the daylight.” No, it’s not hard to capture. It looks pinkish-purple. Now listen, Dodge, I’m not one to tell somebody how to run their business, but you’re doing it wrong. You want to succeed in auto making I’ve got two words for you: Lean manufacturing HOVER CARS. Trust me, put all your eggs in that basket. Dodge’s new tough-guy color: Furious Fuchsia [cnn] Thanks to JOeyKy, who tells women he rides his bike everywhere because he cares about the environment even though I saw him on Operation Repo.

Pics Or You Lie: Last Night Shuttle Launch Carries Viewing Portal To Space Station

Pics Or You Lie: Last Night Shuttle Launch Carries Viewing Portal To Space Station

The last scheduled night launch of a space shuttle (besides mine) went down early this morning, and carried a very important payload. A pickle jar full of my sperms? No. A viewing portal to be attached to the International Space Station (sorry for getting your hopes up, aliens). On board Endeavor (STS-130) is Cupola , a relatively huge bay window to be attached to the International Space Station (ISS) that will give astronauts the most magnificent view ever seen from space (short of taking a spacewalk). Expect great pictures from this 1.6-ton behemoth — it’s 9.7 feet wide and 5 feet long with seven windows all around, including a 31.5-inch circular window, the largest ever flown into space. Hey, that’s cool too. Why start a colony of alien GW’s when you can take pretty pictures of earth? Besides every good reason you could possibly think of, including, wait — I wouldn’t have to pay child support for all them freaky alien kids, would I? Because I’ll fight that shit all the way to the Supreme Court Maury. I AM NOT THE FATHER. Shuttle’s final night launch lifts largest window ever into orbit [dvice]

20-Minute Avatar Review By The Same Guy Who Did 50-Minute Phantom Menace Review

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.

Time Consuming: Wicked Stop-Motion Video

This is a simple stop-motion movie made using a webcam and 6,561 little black-and-white printed cards. It’s fairly awesome but nowhere near as awesome as jumping a pile of burning leaves on a BMX . Which I’ve done before. Followers of the Touhou game franchise would recognize the source song and video “Bad Apple!!” by nomico as it maintained 7 solid weeks on top of the Nico Nico Douga weekly rankings. I have no idea what that quote meant but I do know what it means to be the first person in your neighborhood to own a boat. It means I’m the f***ing captain of this street and everybody knows it . Now, raise anchor and set sail for the shallow end! Youtube via Bad Apple: The 1-Bit Stop Motion Movie [gizmodo] Thanks to Josh, who, STOP! — Hammer Motion time. Now I want you to shoot me.

NASA Not To Revisit Moon After All, Orion, Constellation Programs Getting Scrapped

NASA Not To Revisit Moon After All, Orion, Constellation Programs Getting Scrapped

That’s right, would-be astronauts , you can forget about NASA ever sending you to the moon strapped to a giant rocket, cause that shit ain’t happening. Your only chance now is lassoing a moonicorn and barebacking that bitch to outerspace. Obama wants to end NASA’s moon program, turn over space transportation to commercial companies and jump-start technologies needed for future human exploration of Mars and other destinations, officials said on Monday. Obama’s budget ends work on the shuttle follow-on vehicle, known as Orion, as well as a pair of rockets developed to fly astronauts to the space station, the moon and other destinations in the solar system. Funds previously earmarked for the Constellation program, initially intended to return U.S. astronauts to the moon by 2020, instead would be used for research projects that include robotics and other technologies needed to prepare for an eventual human mission to Mars Privatizing space transportation? I don’t know how I feel about that besides GW’s ROCKET TOURS NOW TAKING RESERVATIONS!! Week long space trips start at $1million. Now I know what you’re thinking, “I bet the GW’s just gonna get me high and drop me off at Space Camp”. And that, my friend, is a safe bet. Obama axes NASA moon plan in new budget [msnbc] Thanks to FDSY, who will kick your ass into outerspace for a cool grand.
