When it comes to fighting games, especially when you were playing against a friend, after you’ve selected your characters there was always the debate and which location to do battle in. Each fighter usually comes from a unique part of the world, so you can have you match in their hometown or in a neutral country – either way there was often much wrangling and debate “China?” “Brazil?” “Downtown L.A.?” the list of battlegrounds are as exotic as they are diverse.
Richard Silver is one impressive photographer. He took some time to take some stunning photos of the wonders of the world. These are not your typical photos of the buildings or monuments. These have a different artistic view of these places. Richard Silver uses sharpness as well as a blur to highlight certain sections of each photo. This is an interesting take on the world wonders. Take a look and see for yourself.
Freaks and Geeks only lasted one season but is a cult classic. We only got to know Mr. Weir for one season but we all wanted him to be our dad. He was the ultimate TV series dad. Here is the best of the best from Mr. Weir.
Not every athlete will have a big career and keep their name remembered in sports. These athletes will forever be remembered but not because of their over all career. Instead these athletes will forever be known for one defining play in their careers.
There are many great things to watching a child grow up: their first step, their first word, and of course, watching them turn simple English into dirty, foul-mouthed words that make any adult crack up. As you can see, young Paige is having a little trouble describing what she’s holding in this video with her father. We didn’t know there was a way to butcher the word flamingo so much, but we’re definitely not complaining. Apparently BIll Cosby was right, kids do say the darndest things!
Here is your daily dose of random awesomeness. This hilarious photos gallery is a good one. The internet is is a wonderful place with pictures like these.
Cats sure seem to have it hard these days. Getting food, sleeping in, laying in the sun, getting back rubs. Sounds like a rough life to me. These first world cat problems are no fun. This is the latest funny cat meme circling the internet.

Being tall seems like it is only an advantage. People are often envious of tall people. Tall people have their problems too. From doorways, to ceilings and sofas. Tall people don't always have it easy.
We forgive Hollywood hottie Bradley Cooper for many things (e.g., appearing in ‘Yes Man’), but we just can’t understand why he would bring an open container of vanilla ice cream to a party. Weirdly, this is the premise behind his commercial for Haagen-Dazs, so try to suspend your disbelief. He’s just lucky he’s so ridiculously good-looking. The spot features Cooper entering a party, pint of ice cream in hand, only to be distracted by model Jana Perez — who lures him into seclusion with devious plans to steal it. The entire thing was shot on location in the Zámek Ploskovice estate in Prague, but for the purposes of the ad, it’s the House of Haagen-Dazs. Check out the video for the cheesiness and steaminess, and try to ignore the advertising ploy that someone would be presented with a choice of vanilla ice cream or Bradley Cooper — and opt for the former.
Things you’d never thought you’d hear but now you have: Lindsay Lohan‘s biographical comic book is now available. The comic, titled ‘Infamous: Lindsay Lohan’ was released yesterday (May 1) and follows the trials and tribulations of LiLo’s numerous struggles with the law. As the plot summary states: “She was on the fast rack to superstardom until her wild lifestyle, dysfunctional family dynamic and multiple run-ins with the law derailed her career. But despite it all, Lindsay Lohan … has cornered the market on infamy and yet continues to thrive. ['Infamous'
follows the roller coaster life and career of the young actress who is now more famous for her off-screen exploits than anything she has done in movies.”
British actor Aaron Johnson is one you definitely want to watch if you aren’t already, and we’re really digging this grungy-dirty-sexy thing he has going on. Would all men look like this if they stopped washing their hair as often? Nevermind. We didn’t ask that. Aaron Johnson, also known as Aaron Taylor-Johnson because he’s married and took his wife’s last name (true renaissance man), is a guy that’s been on my personal radar for years, with roles in films like ‘Kick-Ass’ and ‘Nowhere Boy.’ But the rest of the world finally seems to be coming around to how cute this guy is. He starred alongside Keira Knightley in last year’s adaptation of ‘Anna Karenina‘ as the dashing Count Vronsky, a dude with a mustache that should have been a big red flag to ol’ Anna, but I guess when you live in Russia, red flags are the jam. Johnson was so, so sexy in the movie — sexy enough that I overlooked the horrific scene in which Knightley LICKS HIS MUSTACHE. Gross. But I quickly got over my brief bout of nausea to continue appreciating his prettiness. Coming up next, you can see Johnson in ‘Kick-Ass 2‘ and ‘Godzilla.’ Or you can check out these sexy photos and hop on the bandwagon.
Naki’o is the first dog to ever be fitted with four prosthetic legs. We wrote about him right after he received his new legs. To summarize, this cute mixed-breed dog lost all four paws to frostbite when his former owners abandoned the litter of puppies in their foreclosed home during a frigid Nebraska winter. As we said at the time, we want to hunt down those former owners and punch them in the face almost as much as we want to rub this dog’s belly and watch his little plastic legs kick. Veterinary technician Christie Tomlinson organized a fundraiser for the rescue dog, and Orthopets provided half-priced prosthetics which allow him to run, jump and even swim. Now Rick Wilking of Reuters (via io9) has offered an update to the story of Naki’o the bionic dog. They posted new photos of Naki’o and inform us he’s found a happy home in Colorado Springs. Just check this little fella out.
Last month Joss Whedon said his first draft of The Avengers 2 includes a "brother-sister act" who were two of his favorite characters from The Avengers comics. We assumed he meant Scarlet Witch And Quicksilver. Then EW reported that was the case. To celebrate, we collected some of our favorite Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver cosplay photos. (Mostly Scarlet Witch because she's an awesomely popular cosplay choice.)

A Cleveland, Ohio man named Charles Ramsey helped rescue a group of abducted children from his neighbors home after hearing screams from a little girl. Charles was in his house eating McDonald’s when he heard the screaming and quickly came out to notice it was coming from next his neighbor’s home. He went over to the home, broke open the front door, freed the girl and realized that she was Amanda Berry, a girl who went missing nearly 10 years ago. After Police searched the house, two other missing girls turned up in the house who were alive and well, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. When asked by WEWS NewsChannel 5 reporter John Kosich, “What were the reactions on the girls’ faces? I can’t imagine to see the sunlight…”, Charles quickly replied, “Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway. Dead giveaway.”
