26 jul 2013 17:59

Universal Studios Japan recently opened their latest adrenalin pumping attraction. It's a live-action shooting attraction called "Biohazard The Real" and is basically a simulation of the Resident Evil. Visitors are equipped with a 700 gram 'model gun' that has thirty virtual bullets before they enter in groups of eight. The attraction has two stages. First one has two routs, the Racoon City Police Department and the Hospital. When the first stage is cleared the group enters the Umbrella Research Center for some serious action. The goal is obviously to shoot the zombies and other creatures that pop out at you at every corner in the final battle to eradicate the virus. The whole thing takes around ten minutes and is one of the scariest and unforgettable experiences out there. Check out these pics.

26 jul 2013 17:24

Mesmerizing Graffiti GIF of "Hypnocat"
26 jul 2013 12:20
In a university hall in Santiago, Chile, there is a graffiti work depicting an intricately illustrated, colorful cat. It has drawn the attention of a few passersby on its own but since a copy of its image was shared digitally, the internet has transformed the stationary stenciled work into a mesmerizing gif now widely revered as Hypnocat. The entrancing animated image making its rounds on the internet plays on the spellbinding character Hypnotoad from the animated television show Futurama. Much like the hypnotic dancing eyes of the cartoon amphibian, this Hypnocat's psychedelic body has all that come in contact with it chanting "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOCAT." While the identity of the artist behind the original work is unconfirmed, the mural appears to be tagged by a Chilean street artist who goes by the moniker pos 420. Check out the original wall mural, below.

Michael Jackson Patented Shoes To Perform His Gravity-Defying Lean
26 jul 2013 12:17
In 1993, Michael Jackson, along with Michael L. Bush and Dennis Tompkins, filed for a patent on the “anti-gravity” shoes they invented. These special shoes had a triangular groove in the heels that caught onto a bolt sticking out of the stage floor which allowed Jackson and his dancers to lean forward beyond the center of gravity. The King of Pop used this gravity defying illusion to wow audiences in live performances of the song “Smooth Criminal.”

Blind WW2 Veteran Creates Incredible Pixel Art With MS Paint
26 jul 2013 11:52
It’s never too late to learn. 97-year-old World War II veteran Hal Lasko, who is now legally blind, proves this by creating a series of stunningly detailed pixel paintings on his ’95 Microsoft Paint. Hal, also known as Grandpa, only discovered computer art only in his 80′s, and hasn’t let go of it since! Back in the day, Hal used to work as a typographer, creating various letter fonts from scratch, so drawing was deep in his veins. “We got Grandpa a computer about 15 years ago. I knew I had to show him Microsoft Paint, and once I did, he just took off with it. And it wasn’t till years later that we realized how important it was to him,” says Ryan Lasko, Hal’s grandson. Hal is suffering from wet macular degeneration, which causes weaker sight in the center of it’s field. However, when working with a computer, Grandpa can zoom in and build a whole painting from small details. His paintings are described as “a collision of pointillism and 8-Bit art”. Check out this amazing art and a touching documentary short by Josh Bogdan about Hal’s life journey.

Clever Mad Men Quotes Reflect Character Words of Wisdom
26 jul 2013 11:30
If you ever wondered which Mad Men character you were most like, it's probably best to take a better look at each of their ideologies. Luckily, there's a Mad Men Motto gallery on the hit TV show's Facebook that lays out some of the best lines delivered by the tumultuous cast, revealing their outlook on "life, love, and libido." The clean, minimalist style of each panel reflects the show's focus on simple yet appealing design with an equally basic red, black, and white color palette. It allows one to focus on the significance of the text, extracted from the brilliant script. The cynicism, fresh quips, and witty retorts of the clever cast of characters are all captured with just a short sentence or two.

Expressive Photorealistic Oil Paintings of People in Water
26 jul 2013 11:28
There's something both sensual and tranquil about artist Linnea Strid's photorealistic paintings. The Stockholm, Sweden-based creative's oil paintings depict intriguing portraits of people drenched in water. Strid is able to depict the translucent liquid so effectively that it allows viewers to truly believe that they are looking at a photograph rather than a painting. The fact that the expressive faces distorted in the reflective water is so brilliantly executed creates an added layer of emotion that translates off the canvas. Despite the crystal clear water washing over a sense of calm in the viewer's mind, the gifted artist's growing collection of artwork manages to alternate between moments of serenity and panic as her subjects submerge and emerge from their watery encasements.

'Simpsons' Comic Book Guy Guide To Being Worst. Nerd. Ever.
24 jul 2013 18:02
Now that San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone for another year, it's time for us to look back and say: the hell was that? Comic-Con isn't without its charms — the TV and movie panels can occasionally be illuminating and funny, the costumes are a pleasant distraction, and there's, y'know, all those actual, honest-to-Jebus comics — but it's also maddening and smothering and comically over the top, without any sense of irony. And then there's the comic book guys, whom are the meaty sweaty arm pits of the Nerd world. Essentially, Nerd culture is made up of these people. We love them. But at the same time...they're really gross. A demonstration? Scroll down.

VIDEO: Patton Oswalt's First Acting Gig In A Student Loan Infomercial
24 jul 2013 18:00

A former comedian turned counselor JC Shakespeare uploaded a video to YouTube this weekend. In it, he and three other performers — including a 19-year-old Patton Oswalt — do stand-up as part of an infomercial on student loans in 1990. Shakespeare says, “This was my first paid gig as an actor, and perhaps it was for Patton as well. Patton had the tenacity and persistence to work his butt off (I didn’t), and I have immense respect for how far his talent and hard work have taken him.” Oswalt quickly confirmed what we could already tell: it was him. In a snazzy sweater vest, no less. He adds that it was his first acting gig, for which he was paid $300.

'47 Ronin' Is Basically 'Lord Of The Rings', But Japanese
24 jul 2013 17:54
Imagine, if you will, a movie about the Alamo that features a Bollywood actor with a steampunk missile launcher killing Mexican cyborg assassins, led by a ninja who’s really an alien. That’s pretty much what 47 Ronin is doing to a Japanese national legend, much to the amusement of the Japanese. It’s kind of a shame, actually, because this looks pretty good for what it is: A big-budget version of a high-fantasy wuxia movie, only with all the pretentious trappings Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon made mandatory dumped in favor of CGI. OK, so it doesn’t look like a classic, but that said…

Jennifer Lawrence Fangirls Over Jeff Bridges: It’s AWESOME
24 jul 2013 16:56
Despite winning an Oscar earlier this year, Jennifer Lawrence still freaks out around other celebrities — this time when she ran into actor Jeff Bridges at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday (July 20). At around the 2:25 mark in the video, a nervous and breathless J-Law is pushed toward Bridges — who’s giving an on-camera interview — and runs away because she doesn’t want to intrude. But then Jeff sees her and wants to say hello, so the reporter invites her to ask the actor a question. (Way to think on your feet, reporter dude!) Lawrence obliges, but not without stumbling — verbally, not physically this time — and then goes all fangirl on the ‘Big Lebowski’ star. It’s nothing short of adorable.

What Happens When You Fire a Gun Underwater (in Slow Motion)
24 jul 2013 16:44
We’ve never actually wondered what would happen if you fired a gun underwater, but now that we can see it, obviously we’d really like to find out. Here the Slow Mo guys have set up their swimming pool to film firing a gun underwater at 27,000 frames per second. To give you an idea of how slowed down that is, the standard rate of frames per second in film is 24. So this is more than 1,000 times slower. Pretty cool, although we don’t recommend firing off a few rounds in your own pool.

More Incredible 3D Latte Art by Kazuki Yamamoto
24 jul 2013 13:45
Japanese artist Kazuki Yamamoto has got the Internet buzzing about his 3D latte art again – this time he’s back with a very impressive Salvador Dali-inspired foam sculpture. The latte foam in the cup is shaped as a melting clock in Dali’s The Persistence of Memory. The clock, however, is not the only new 3D latte artwork by Kazuki since the last time we featured him on our site. He has a very active twitter account with more than 110K visitors where he tweets his latest latte art creations. Kazuki serves this kind of coffee for the visitors of the Cafe10g in Osaka, Japan. 26-year-old artist became an Internet sensation after the world discovered his 3d coffee foam sculptures: besides rising up in their own cup, some of them even reach out for others. Before he developed this technique, Kazuki used to create some incredibly detailed flat artworks on the coffee foam, with his subjects varying from portraits of famous people to cartoon characters. The artist dreams of opening his own cafe in Tokyo one day – gotta admit, this business definitely sounds like his cup of tea… erm, coffee!
