This is a video of an exhilarating trip down the 800-foot roller slide in Tabayama, Japan. It’s Japan’s longest roller slide (with a sliding surface of metal rollers like you’d imagine boxes traveling along in a factory) and opened in 1990. “The slide has no seat belts, helmets or much
Because who hasn’t dreamed of piloting their own AT-AT walker through the side of a neighbor’s house, this is a video of engineer James Bruton constructing his own roughly 7-foot tall rideable AT-AT. It moves at a snail’s pace (even slower than in the movies), but I would still proudly

Based on the old Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots toy, the $70 Wooden Bots Battle game from Etsy seller Balloonic is a great way to settle disputes (or start more). The kit features eight laser-cut boards that are assembled into two warriors trying to pop the other’s balloon head with
This is a clip of a group of hardcore gamers playing ‘World Of Tanks’ with a custom desk-mounted cannon (and Volkswagen steering wheel). The cannon uses C02 and 2-liter soda bottles for ammunition, and produces some insane kickback when fired, ejecting a smoking shell afterwards. That’s absolutely nuts, and I’ve
