This is a video highlighting the work of foley artists and the incredible difficulty in making just the right footstep sound effects (considered one of the hardest to duplicate) for television and movies. There is a surprising amount of thought, technique, footwear, and materials to step on that go into

This is a video of Chinese musician Zhang Qihui dressed as a beautiful lotus flower and performing on progressively larger flutes, starting with a diminutive six-incher, and ending with this behemoth, which is so large it requires two more helpers to cover its holes. Now that’s a big flute! It

Because terrible ideas come to marketing professionals in all shapes and sizes, the company has produced a gaming chair to promote the McCrispy Chicken Sandwich (and be given away via a UK-only contest because life isn’t fair). The chair includes a fry holder, drink holder, two sauce holders, napkin holder

Traveling even further back in time than that 2001 BBC news report about cameraphones comes this January 31, 1978 Talking Heads performance of ‘Psycho Killer’ on a British music television program called ‘Old Grey Whistle Test.’ Catchy name. I actually love ‘Psycho Killer’ and used to play it all the

This is a timelapse video of yesterday’s total lunar eclipse (aka blood moon) as captured by astrophotographers Astrofalls and Clanger_Mcbanger (great name) from Ironwood National Forest in Arizona. Total lunar eclipses are called blood moons because of their red hue, due to the only sunlight reaching the moon having passed

Because otters make everything better, this is a video of pet otters Kotaro and Hana (previously seen here experiencing a popcorn maker for the first time) reacting to a soap-bubble gun. They’re uncertain about it at first, but curiosity eventually gets the better of them (thank God they’re not cats)

Take a trip down memory lane all the way back to 2001 with this BBC news report about the upcoming release of cameraphones — phones that can take and send photos in addition to text messages. The future! I love how the multimedia message the guy sends in the video

This is a video of musician Jared Halley performing all the individual instrumental parts (including vocals) of Green Day’s 1992 banger ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ acapella, combining them into a multi-track performance of the entire song. That’s neat. You know, I always fancied my voice a bass guitar. It’s deep.

Inspired by the very real roller coaster Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point, this is a video of Venomeater123 (is that venom-eater or veno-meater?) demonstrating the miniature version he build using K’Nex. It took him almost a year to construct, which doesn’t surprise me, because that thing is massive. What would

30-year old Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey has created a virtual reality headset that kills a user in real life if they die in-game, by exploding their head. Finally, the high-stakes video gaming I’ve been waiting for! Some more information about the headset while I wonder what Facebook’s next move will
