Just How Many Jellybeans Do You Have Left? (4 photo + 1 video)

What would you do with the rest of your life, if you knew precisely how long you had left to live? It’s a morbid yet thought-provoking question that talented YouTuber Ze Frank poses in his unique and creative video. Based on American Time Use Survey he’s worked out that our average lifespan is 28,385 days – yet alarmingly we’ll spend 8,477 of those sleeping, 3,202 holding down a job and a further 2,676 staring at the TV. Using the analogy that one jelly bean represents a single day in our lives he uses different amounts of them to reflect unique increments of time and events in our life. It begs the question, what will you do with the little time you have left? Ze Frank has a few suggestions in his beautifully crafted and genuinely moving video below.

Ever thought you see the day when Obama was riding a lion with a light saber? Neither did we until now. Like many of us, one suspects that illustrator and visual artist Jason Heuser wishes that our elected leaders could be a little more courageous & fantastical. That goes a long way into explaining his inspiration behind these incredibly awesome illustrations. Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt are all recreated in the midst of battle or tooled up ready to take on the naughty evil-doers. You can get your hands on prints of images via his online store (they’re reasonably priced too) in the meantime, enjoy watching some of the most famous US Presidents in history kicking some serious ass. http://sharpwriter.deviantart.com/ http://www.etsy.com/shop/sharpwriter

Those safety instruction videos you are forced to watch before your flight takes off are getting a major makeover. Delta has begun playing a hilariously tongue-in-cheek video, which still manages to relay the important facts passengers need to know. Considering these videos tend to be as clinical as a visit to the doctor and entertaining as C-Span, we say it’s high time other airlines made a change. And here’s one other suggestion: whoever directed this video should be given a six-picture deal. Imagine how much better ‘The Internship’ would’ve been with this guy at the controls.

Don’t get us wrong, we trust High Moon Studios to deliver a solid game. These were people who were handed Michael Bay’s Transformers movies and through sheer force of will actually squeezed a surprising amount of creative blood out of that particular stone. And we’ve little doubt a Deadpool game will play great. It’s a game that involves stabbing, shooting, and doing ridiculous things with little regard for health or safety. That’s pretty hard to screw up. But it’s the whole brotastic attitude to the whole enterprise that’s a bit… well, odd. The humor is a bit wrong for the character. Granted, Deadpool is incredibly quirky and weird, but that’s because he’s genuinely insane. Put a good writer behind him, and you’ve got him calling firearms doorknobs as he beats the snot out of some intolerable snob who gave him a degenerative brain disease, or realizing he’s actually saying what’s in his captions aloud, or dropping a piano on Wolverine. This… feels a bit like it’s trying too hard. “Adolescent” is the wrong word. You know that moment when you’re at a comedy show, and some guy comes on, trying really hard to be edgy? This kind of feels like that. Still, we’ll reserve judgment for seeing actual gameplay footage. Like we said, this will be pretty hard to screw up. Really, all we have to do is drop a piano on somebody, and all will be forgiven. Video games don’t drop nearly enough pianos on people.

Photographer, Rodney Cammauf, had just found a sunny spot by the water in Homestead, Florida to enjoy his alfresco lunch when the bizarre event unfolded. The 68-year-old was tucking into a few burgers with friends when they spotted the giant alligator approaching them from out of the water.

While racing sims try to emulate the feeling of real racing as closely as possible, kart games throw that nonsense out the window in favor of making things fun. One of the most notable ways that kart racers can up the fun factor is with power-ups — those little floating items found on every track which grant any who touch them untold power. Each game has their own hierarchy of useful and not-so-useful items, so let’s smash them all together to compare which power-ups pack the most power in our list of the 8 Best Racing Game Power-Ups!

10 Lies That Movies Told Us About Going to College (11 photo)

One of the most surprising things about ‘Monsters University‘ is just how much of a typical college movie it is. Granted, it’s full of that typical Pixar warmth and charm, but the overall story revels in a template as old as ‘Animal House’ and ‘Revenge of the Nerds.’ Other than the fact that it stars monsters, ‘Monsters University’ is just another entry in a long line of “snobs vs slobs” movies set at institutions of higher learning. Like so many of its college comedy brethren, ‘Monsters University’ has skewed the facts of college life for dramatic purposes, occasionally reveling in cliches that have been around for decades but have little bearing in the real world. In fact, cinema has painted an incredibly inaccurate (but highly entertaining) portrait of college life over the years. Watching a lot of movies before heading off for your first day of classes is sure to prepare you for a very different experience than you’ll actually get. So, without further ado, here are 10 incorrect things that the movies have taught us about college.

Murmur is an art installation that transforms the sound of your voice into breathtaking light waves and projections. It’s the baby of 4 interactive design studios Chevalvert, 2Roqs, Polygraphik and Splank. Each of them has worked on a different element of the work including visual design, object design, sound design and a deft touch of programming. The installation simulates the movement of sound waves, building a luminous bridge between the physical and the virtual worlds. There is a magical effect, a mystery in the way that sound waves move. Murmur focuses on this movement, thus creating an unconventional dialogue between the public and the wall. By speaking down an echo chamber, your voice is carried down a connecting line and then interpreted into a beautiful collection of visuals using LED lights, from geometric shapes to mountains made of luminous circles. It’s enchanting and even magical to watch at times, watch the video below for the full effect. In the meantime, you can see extra photos from the work and the learn more about the project right here Sit back and enjoy. http://www.chevalvert.fr/ http://www.2roqs.fr/ http://polygraphik.com/ http://www.splankstudio.com/
