"Brush With Death" Short Film

Love this. Destined to be ripped for a future TV advert.

Deadmau5 4D Projections In London

The Deadmau5 show was superb last year, closing the Hove Festival in Norway (here's a clip) - missed this show in London, here's some video highlights.

Splendid International Space Station Footage Of Earth.

Watch this. I love a window seat on a plane, but just imagine looking down on the Earth from this height. Superb.

Alpine Rollercoaster - I Want A Go

This looks superb, though I'm sure I'd use the brake, unlike the chap making this video. Why don't we have something as exciting and dangerous as this in the UK? We get theme parks - where we are charged the same as a budget family holiday, and made to queue for hours whilst being attacked by wasps for a ride that last barely a minute - then charged for junk food, and then to park the car in their car park. Legoland Windsor. I'm looking at you. Or in the case of Thorpe Park - all of the above, as well as changing the height restrictions (detailed on the gate after paying for the tickets) on many of the rides so my youngest was unable to go on anything vaguely exciting. Did we get a refund? No, we got LEGOLAND WINDSOR tickets. I'm NOT paying for the bloody car park this time.

This is what you ride on.

The Man Who Made Things Fly (Lawn Mowers, Washing Machines and a BBQ)

Don't let the fact that its for an advert put you off, this is the "making of" or "behind the scenes".

Thanks to b3ta as usual.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's SUPERB TV Ad, staring Sam Worthington (Avatar) & Jonah Hill (Superbad)

It's not like they needed to make a clever TV ad or anything, is it. This is superb. And the game is only £29.99 from Sainsbury's if you spend more than £30. Time to stock up on washing powder and dishwasher tablets again I think.

Lego Robot Machine Solves Shuffled Rubiks Cube In 5 seconds

I suppose its saves time ramming a screwdriver inside it, and taking it apart.

7 Billion: How Did We Get So Big So Fast?

"It was just over two centuries ago that the global population was 1 billion — in 1804. But better medicine and improved agriculture resulted in higher life expectancy for children, dramatically increasing the world population, especially in the West."
