Aside from all the stars, it’s also quite cool how you can see the rotation of the Earth in this video! Enjoy:

The video was made by Charles Leung.

I really want to go to an observatory now!

Watch the highlights below :)

Originally, the Saints were given odds of 20/1 to win!

While we wait for highlights, I thought you might want to see some of the highlights from last year’s Super Bowl (number 43) between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. Enjoy!

 

I’m British and have never been a massive fan of American Football, but I must admit that I’m starting to enjoy (and understand) this sport more and more as time goes on. Bring on Super Bowl 45!

Surprisingly, it worked without any complications!

After that, several more inmates got this ‘tattoo’ done too! See the interviews with those that did it below:

Next time I want my eyes dyed red or black, I know where to go ;)

It provided millions of people with days of entertainment and I’m glad to say I’m one of them. The main problem is that it’s old! Luckily there’s a project to bring GoldenEye back, and it’s named GoldenEye: Source. It’s just like the classic game, but with updated graphics, a few extras and, best of all (in MY opinion), it’s for PC… and totally free!

The 3.1 beta is available as a free download (as a beta for now) as a Half Life 2 mod and it looks great so far. Check out the latest gameplay video below:

What do you think? Personally I can’t wait!

Hopefully the finished product will be released this year but I’m not too sure. If it’s released before 2012 I’ll be pretty happy :)

In this video, Blaine explains the journey to this world record and what was going on during the record-breaking attempt. Really interesting stuff:

I’m sure there will be many more David Blaine related videos to come, along with lots of other great posts so check back often!

[Thanks TED]

Enjoy!

I think I managed to follow that reasonably well. I should probably watch it a few more times if I want it to sink in though. :P

[Thanks THRFeed]
