In watching these two videos, I find myself wondering what it would be like to be Mark Hammill and Kurt Russell at the time these were recorded. That's a world where no one had ever heard of Star Wars and Lucas was this guy that made a passable film about cruising around in the 50s.

I like aliens. I've never met an alien I didn't like actually. Until I saw this guy. He qualifies for both an alien I don't like and the first alien I've ever met, so I guess I've totally struck out. Here's a guy who claims he is channeling aliens via an energy beam directly to his hairy, slightly repugnant sweaty chest. The very same chest he then makes an interviewer feel to confirm the alien-beam sweat.

Here's Eric Barone, who broke the world record for speed on a mountain bike a few years back. Here he's attempting to do it again by running down the side of a volcano in Nicaragua. His bike was 'specially modified' for this paticular run, which apparently means 'snaps in half'. When he went by the last speed sensor, he was clocked at 107MPH. Catch the video after the jump.

Here's a quick video essay to introduce you to the Strix - a 120mm, terminally guided, top attack mortar projectile. This thing will happily find and destroy it's target, even main battle tanks (MBTs) day or night from up to 7 klicks away. All you need is a standard 120mm mortar!

Initial reports are beginning to leak out of San Francisco that a mysterious object has been seen in the sky, blotting out the stars and staring down ominously at the peaceful inhabitants of The Golden Gate City. An intrepid amateur videographer has posted footage of the mysterious object on Youtube. Star Wars aficionados may recognize the massive moon-like invader as none other than a Death Star - a space station and weapon capable of destroying an entire planet - previously thought to be mere fiction.

I was a huge fan of the tabletop game by GDW when I was in college. We had a whole tourny going with a ladder leading to playoffs and weekly team reports. We even created an in house buy system so winning teams earned money towards better players and more skills.

I remember when Star Wars first hit the silver screen. Actually, it's one of my earliest film memories. I also went to see the Special Edition digitally retouched, Han shoots last editions in the theater. Each has something to give, I think. The original trilogy is forever cemented in my brain as THE movies of my youth. The special edition looks shinier.

Yeah, at first that sounds pretty cheesy. Once you start watching though you’ll see just how fantastic a job the folks at Zombie Zombie did with the direction, score and action figures. This isn’t something you and your little brother made over a few hours on a boring Sunday. This rocks. Combining zombies, action figures and [...]
