SPECTRE - Final Trailer (Official)

Drawing Life-Sized Disney 3D Characters in Virtual Reality

I just wish they didn't edit out 95% of the drawing. I understand the internet has a short attention span, but that's why they invented clicking on the time slider to skip around.

Hero Defends a Defenseless Blind Kid

I think twitching and other weird movement is normal after getting knocked out. I've only watched a little MMA, but seen it plenty of times. You can also see it in ride-along fighter jet videos where the pilot pulls G's until the passenger blacks out. While they're out and/or waking up some weird stuff happens.

Isaac Caldiero's Epic Ascent of Mt. Midoriyama

What a monster. Both guys are so deserving. Both in their 30's!!

On a less joyous note, I take pretty serious issue with the way ANW runs the competition. Once I found out about the original Sasuke, I went back and watched every single season. Because it's awesome. But I feel like the Japanese organizers of Sasuke clearly understood that the competition was "competitors versus course", not "competitor versus competitor". In that vein, any set of competitors who complete the course should be equally rewarded.

Can you imagine dedicating your life to completing that course, succeeding (as one of only two people in the world, over nearly a decade of competition), then walking away with nothing because the other guy was an insignificant amount faster than you?

Props to Isaac for at least mentioning "share the money" in the post-interview (not included in this sift).

Another way I massively disagree with ANW is that they significantly redesigned the courses for every year of competition. Some variation is essential to testing the competitors' adaptability, but with so much new stuff each year they excluded lots of top talent due to bad luck or running order. Cynically, maybe to avoid paying the prize money. Last year was particularly bad with only two guys making it to stage 3. I feel like this year the pendulum swung back a little too far (or maybe "farther than intended") which is why they actually had two winners. That said, that new cliffhanger is ridiculous, but at least it's a variation on existing obstacles instead of something totally unique.

Lastly, let's not forget ANW's "USA versus The World". Really? That's so stereotypically American it's sick, especially for an adopted competition.

“Empty” Epson ink cartridges are still 20 percent full

Well. It's on purpose, obviously. Money is made on service and ink cartridges, far moreso than the printer sales!

I have no evidence, but I submit this video as people's exhibit A.

I'm surprised they still have all their fingers. I feel like they make these videos while ignoring basic safety considerations just to make the viewer more nervous.
