<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=lPyBMsjVG94#" target="_blank">Marathon time check</a>. Anybody who runs on a treadmill knows what it&#8217;s like to push it to 12.6mph &#8211; shit is scary.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mCgiaAFCu8" target="_blank">James Martin 952 on countdown like a boss</a>. Impressive &#8230; most impressive.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/11/downhill-skateboard-racing" target="_blank">Downhill skateboarding tournament</a>. When they show the close-ups of the road they&#8217;re skating down, I&#8217;m surprised there isn&#8217;t a 100% death rate.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK_O8G5V_Tc" target="_blank">The card wizard</a>. At first I was like &#8211; ok I can&#8217;t understand what they&#8217;re saying here, but it morphs into some english as you go.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUbM-77Bn1w&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">The branch dog cam with roll cam</a>. This guy looks completely insane. Or not very intelligent.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAo-DmzdvK0" target="_blank">This door to door sales guy  has a pretty frenetic routine</a>. That would be really tough to keep up on a consistent basis.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/11/the-fantastic-and-inglourious-mr-fox" target="_blank">The Fantastic and Inglorious Mr. Fox</a>. Mel Gibson&#8217;s final hurrah.</p>

At least if you&#8217;re that kid. By haunt of course, I mean he&#8217;ll find it hilarious and will forever be awesome.</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s a double week &#8211; we have two top stories. <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/4ecfd3a85f/herman-cains-campaign-promises-with-mike-tyson" target="_blank">It&#8217;s Mike Tyson time &#8211; this time as Herman Cain</a>. Good times &#8230; potato salad.</p>
<p>Keep reading for Liam Neeson in Life&#8217;s Too Short, parachuting with eagles and bullet time surfing. <span id="more-2218"></span></p>
<p><strong>Videogame Links</strong></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://kotaku.com/5854663/how-great-cosplay-is-made" target="_blank">How great Halo cosplay is made</a>. I think it would be tough to dedicate so much time to something for which there is no reward, but I guess this one at least has mass production possibilities.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rockstargames.com/?gtav" target="_blank">GTA 5 is coming out</a>. I&#8217;m sure it will be as cliche filled and great as the last one. This time it looks like it&#8217;s in &#8230; Miami? I&#8217;m not good at American cityscapes.</p>
<p><strong>Non-Videogame Links</strong></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIPmBsL3By4" target="_blank">Parachuting with Eagles</a>. I don&#8217;t know how you get more badass.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8IVASo0umU&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">Some people claim this is staged</a>, but either way it&#8217;s impressive. More people would watch table tennis at the Olympics if it was all like this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/11/peter-jackson-geeks-out-on-3-d-in-latest-hobbit-video/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">Peter Jackson&#8217;s production blog about 3d filming on the Hobbit is fairly interesting</a>. Although I think it&#8217;s funny that their cameras are worth like $4 million on their own. Still &#8211; I trust that the 3d will be impressive, if only because Weta does everything well.</p>
<div id="attachment_2220" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2220" title="Hobbit" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cain2.jpg" alt="Look at all the dimensions. And the depth of field!" width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Look at all the dimensions. And the depth of field!</p></div>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/11/dam-breached-reservoir-drained" target="_blank">A pretty cool time lapse of a dam breaching</a>. Too bad for the river, though, as it gets owned below the dam.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s always amazing to me how much VFX is in simple TV shows. I guess <a href="http://vimeo.com/18275127" target="_blank">Boardwalk Empire</a> is one where you&#8217;d expect it, but it&#8217;s still ridiculous.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/10/the-secret-world-of-arrietty" target="_blank">The trailer for the new film from Studio Ghibli</a>. Sounds like trash pickers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=WoSSvLpXWpM" target="_blank">This would be really creepy</a>. This is why I close shop on Halloween. Although I guess unless you&#8217;re a 21 year old going bar crawling in NYC, you have a bigger problem if you&#8217;re out going door to door.</p>
<p><a href="http://frankenspace.com/projects/bayhem.html" target="_blank">This is kind of sad</a>. It&#8217;s clear that all we want to see at the cinema is destruction and explosions. Not that they aren&#8217;t badass. But I thought people were a little more sophisticated than that.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAba9Mjoinw&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">Beatboxing seems hard enough but adding the dubstep</a> (which I don&#8217;t even like) is still fairly impressive.</p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/kS3jA.jpg" target="_blank">I need to hire this guy and find him to make my costume next year</a>. Too bad an Asian guy doesn&#8217;t make a great Robert Downey Jr, but what are you going to do.</p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/58Vy3.gif" target="_blank">Drinking water in zero G</a>. Oddly disgusting.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/11/bullet-time-surfing" target="_blank">Bullet time cameras used for surfing</a>. Although I love the way since all the cameras are on a single boat, the rotation only goes through like 30 degrees. Whatever. Take what you can get.</p>
<p><a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/11/09/switchblade-bottle-opener.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">I need one of these switchblade bottle openers</a>. If anybody has a Christmas list going &#8211; this should be on it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyBzYCEyUlE" target="_blank">In the surfing theme we have the record wave &#8211; a 90 footer</a>. It&#8217;s hard to judge how big these things are though just from the video. I&#8217;m sure the experts know what they&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>Some of these giant contraptions, like that Russian earthmoving machine, are fascinating. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=WX2HFVHbo18#" target="_blank">Still, the cornering radius is a little large on this one</a>.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQOJbLTRWfM&amp;feature=feedu" target="_blank">Liam Neeson kills it</a> (just like Johnny Depp did) in this clip from Life&#8217;s Too Short.</p>
<div id="attachment_2221" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2221" title="Neeson" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cain3.jpg" alt="Liam Neeson's greatest films: Schindler's List ... Taken. That is all. " width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Liam Neeson&#39;s greatest films: Schindler&#39;s List ... Taken. That is all. </p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPJowXgH3YU" target="_blank">Gordon Keith is a master</a>. The one guy who out-Zach Galifianakis&#8217;d the man himself.</p>
<p>Toyota should hire this guy to do all their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALKTM7OzdMQ&amp;list=FLqT-n8g8ijND9KQU4jq7cWw&amp;index=5&amp;feature=plpp_video" target="_blank">Corolla advertisements</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/imgly_production/2386993/large.jpg" target="_blank">Just another day in the life of the NPH family</a>. While this is funny, unfortunately I can&#8217;t say the same thing of his new movie, Harold &amp; Kumar.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgUIbPfhSuo&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">Ah the old Best Buy uniform prank</a>. Too bad they didn&#8217;t really take it too well.</p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/UE2ZL.jpg" target="_blank">Pedobear is apparently one of the mascots for the Vancouver Olympics</a>. This is like when the Onion is published in some mainstream newspaper.</p>
<p><a href="http://thedoghousediaries.com/3175" target="_blank">Don&#8217;t let Siri know too much</a>. I&#8217;m afraid I can&#8217;t let you do that, Dave.</p>
<div id="attachment_2222" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2222" title="Siri" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/cain4.jpg" alt="For some reason this was the top google search for 'Siri.' Odd. " width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">For some reason this was the top google search for &#39;Siri.&#39; Odd. </p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tJoIaXZ0rw&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">I still haven&#8217;t seen 500 days of summer</a>, but the virginity losing aftermath scene is fairly good.</p>
<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GME5nq_oSR4" target="_blank">The media has a fairly predictable reaction</a> to the announcement that Conan will officiate a same sex wedding on his show.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw7uhVtpI5I&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">Method Man used to be far more hardcore, didn&#8217;t he</a>? I mean I realize this isn&#8217;t really a kids song or anything but the subject manner is a little questionable for a hardcore rapper.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/11/m83-vocal-audition" target="_blank">Wow &#8230; just, wow</a>. What kind of awful pop song are we dealing with here?</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/11/sword-dancing" target="_blank">I don&#8217;t even know what&#8217;s going on here</a>. It&#8217;s like a redneck bizarre sword dance. Is that harsh? I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for this week. Did I miss anything? Hit up the comments!</p>

What that means is that there are just a few teaser links this week. What it also means is that next week is going to be an epic DOUBLE WEEK! Prepare yourselves.</p>
<p>First up we have <a href="http://childsownstudio.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the Softiemaker</a>: your child&#8217;s random drawings in stuffed animal form.</p>
<p>Secondly we have <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IgNemEjFw0&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">Zach Galifianakis from 1999</a>. I can see why his style stood out so much, especially in the late &#8217;90&#8217;s.</p>

These things get more and more realistic looking every week. As always, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW2yLEqs1qU" target="_blank">behind the scenes video</a> is also worth a look.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/blizzard-dota/video/6341778/blizzcon-2011--blizzard-dota-trailer" target="_blank">Blizzard isn&#8217;t really going down the serious route for their DotA trailer</a>. Still &#8211; I will be interested to see what IceFrog has up his sleeve.</p>

<p>A valuable lesson in life: <a href="http://www.giantflightlessbirds.com/2011/10/the-great-penguin-sweater-fiasco/" target="_blank">never make too many penguin sweaters</a>. This will serve you well in many situations.</p>

I love the weird way their news can&#8217;t just be someone talking about the news &#8211; they have to have strange computer generated animations for it.</p>
<p><a href="http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/2011/10/25/ed-lee-campaign-video-co-stars-brian-wilson-will-i-am-insanity-video/" target="_blank">The San Francisco interim mayor has the greatest campaign video of all time</a>. Too legit to quit.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/nathan-drake-desert-fighter/17-5046/" target="_blank">Nathan Drake: Desert Fighter</a>. They could show Nathan Drake waiting on his laundry and it would be enough to sell copies of Uncharted 3.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p><a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2011/10/funny-batman-arkham-city-advertisement.html" target="_blank">The Batman commercials have always been good</a>. They were good for Arkham Asylum and these ones are even better.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-093SQo9NWM" target="_blank">Dragon Age: Redemption &#8211; Episode 1</a>. Nice effort, Felicia Day, but like all of these things, this was dead before it got off the ground.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-michael-phelps-push-the-limit/17-5050/" target="_blank">Michael Phelps videogame</a> is finally here and it&#8217;s glorious.</p>

<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOSC4BpgVZ8" target="_blank">Trampoline training at Cirque du Soleil</a>. I know these shows are played out and a little cheesy but I love them &#8211; I want to see all the new ones.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxjiQoTp864&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">And so the Photoshop focusing filter was born</a>. Nothing would ever be the same again. Enhance &#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT_TGuoLdmk" target="_blank">Incredible fake punt victory and a lame rule takes it back</a>. I think you should get *extra* points for celebrating before the TD &#8211; I mean it makes it easier for them to get you. Nobody&#8217;s TD celebration is running as hard as they can for the end zone.</p>

I didn&#8217;t realize boiled wood was that malleable.</p>
<p><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/10/stephen-colbert-steve-jobs.html" target="_blank">Colbert says goodbye to Steve Jobs in a very charming way</a>. I wish I watched this show more frequently than never.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDV-t5sgDgI" target="_blank">The first trailer for the Avengers</a>. This is either going to be really cool, or it&#8217;s going to be one of those movies where it&#8217;s a complete train wreck. I have to say though, some of these superheroes are far cooler and more useful than others. Like Thor, or Iron Man. What is the dude with the bow, or Scarlett Johansson, going to do that is at all useful compared to them?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38AljFRxfvg" target="_blank">Yes yes, I know everybody can tell me how this is actually done</a> but I have to say it&#8217;s still an impressive illusion at least to my untrained mind and eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvDqoxMUroA" target="_blank">This is a pretty cool on-board rocket competition video</a>. It made it to 121,000 feet.</p>

Although I have to admit &#8211; some of these were spot on and some of them I was thinking &#8216;yeah ok so you could have put in any asian kung fu movie clip here as that&#8217;s just a trope, not homage.&#8217;</p>

<p><a href="http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/12/siri-weird-things-iphone-4s/" target="_blank">Funny easter eggs (of a sort) with Siri</a>, the new iPhone assistant. Some of these don&#8217;t seem that amusing but hey &#8211; like most things on the internet it&#8217;s hit and miss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_7nMphB6JY" target="_blank">The Japanese have invented some crazy crap</a> &#8211; not least of which is the ammonia fire extinguisher grenade. Clear!</p>

These look like they&#8217;re made out of some kind of <em>cloth</em>. Who could possibly save the world wearing something so old fashioned?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=ZVjr4mii3cE" target="_blank">Cliff collapse</a>. This guy is pleased he got it on tape. Understated, just how I like it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvUQQF5S4Dg&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">This ice cream vendor in Istanbul is toeing a fine line</a> between being cute and really pissing off his customers.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/bD7xm.gif" target="_blank">The most epic fail handshake seen in the wild</a>. You have been warned: awkwardness within.</p>
<p>Still an old classic. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/MsMFh.jpg" target="_blank">Oh Cash4Gold, you rascal</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2oymHHyV1M" target="_blank">Mountain biker taken out by an antelope</a>. Bad luck buddy, but really &#8211; you didn&#8217;t see it coming? You couldn&#8217;t hit the brakes for a bit?</p>

<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/XyztJ.gif" target="_blank">Just washing my car</a>. Carry on.</p>
<p>Everything could use a little <a href="http://i.imgur.com/YRNZg.jpg" target="_blank">guitar accompaniment</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/10/10/dr-seuss-vs-call-of-cthulhu.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">Dr. Seuss meets Cthulhu</a>. I can&#8217;t tell if this is that good or not because I haven&#8217;t read anything other than the two pictures featured but it looks like it could have potential.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrj46wdh9jo" target="_blank">It&#8217;s never smart to get into a honk war with a snare drummer</a>. That&#8217;s almost as bad as getting involved in a land war in Asia.</p>
<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xpLD5cSOWs" target="_blank">This guy makes a ridiculous leap into a pool from the balcony</a>. This was so close to being a snuff video. At least for his feet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOpOhlGiRTM&amp;sns=fb" target="_blank">The reaction that children have to most things is pretty hilarious</a>. This seemed like a totally normal kid until she went and freaked out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCHCTW6ywUI" target="_blank">The infamous ranch dressing bet</a>. Never do it without professional supervision.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFtJZb7uwmw" target="_blank">Getting out of a truck like a boss</a>. I&#8217;m glad they showed the part where he got up, intact and all.</p>

<p><strong>Non-Videogame Links</strong></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/09/being-elmo-trailer" target="_blank">Trailer for Being Elmo</a>. This guy is incredible. He&#8217;s living the dream and it sounds like it was really hard for him &#8211; whereas I&#8217;m totally not doing any of that.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zapiks.fr/motoneige-0-montagne-1.html" target="_blank">Snowmobile crash</a> &#8230; almost made it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=809UNNTGDhM" target="_blank">Gordon Ramsey responds to this douche interviewer who ordered a steak well done</a>. I would just have said &#8216;jesus Australia, what&#8217;s wrong with you? Who orders a steak well done?!&#8217;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR10lImQfqk&amp;feature=results_video&amp;playnext=1&amp;list=PLB3838A7AC886AE04" target="_blank">Tattoo in progress</a>. I understand most of the process but some of the weird shading stuff is foreign to me. I thought they just inject ink into you.</p>
<p><a href="http://biggeekdaddy.com/humorpages/Humor/BestCardTrick.html" target="_blank">Pretty good card trick</a>. I didn&#8217;t even realize what was happening at first but it&#8217;s also an impressive voice trick.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtwB4jnO7ro" target="_blank">Crazy synchronized gymnastics</a>. This is far more impressive than that crappy other &#8217;sport&#8217;: synchronized swimming.</p>
<p><a href="http://imgur.com/ly3h5" target="_blank">This is a pretty cool calendar</a>. I wonder what the error variance on it is or whether there are some that totally don&#8217;t work.</p>

I didn&#8217;t really see any of the surfers. All I can say is that if they&#8217;re out in waves that big with bio-luminescent red tide as the only light source, they are ballsy.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4MhbkWJzKk&amp;feature=feedu" target="_blank">Battling bad science</a>. I feel like most TED talks that are successful are essentially comedy routines and not actually about learning at all.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ykXK2FC2fM" target="_blank">PENNY PONG</a>! You play penny pong? Oh it&#8217;s on then. The ridiculous athletic wear is really what completes the whole thing.</p>

<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=GimbrACh-Yw#" target="_blank">Oh man &#8211; reddit is blowing up</a>. Too bad it&#8217;s for jailbait. Who doesn&#8217;t like that? Right &#8230; guys? Guys? You know what they say &#8211; no publicity is bad publicity.</p>

Wrangler: there&#8217;s a bit of the west in all of us.</p>
<p>Keep reading for Being Elmo, permanently inverted vision and guy on a buffalo. <span id="more-2182"></span></p>
<p><strong>Videogame Links</strong></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/YHUO7.png" target="_blank">Gabe is still the man</a>. Too bad the constant weight jokes mean Half Life Episode 3 is never coming out.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p>Videogames are no laughing matter. At least not this week apparently.</p>
<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-dark-souls/17-4966/" target="_blank">Dark Souls preview quick look</a>. I never played Demon Souls but I heard that game was the most divisive of its release year &#8211; a real love hate thing.</p>
<p><strong>Non-Videogame Links</strong></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFwL6iFDk9Q" target="_blank">Engagement on the set of Scrubs</a>. You know the actors are probably cool if they&#8217;re willing to do this. I guess if you work with people for long enough it&#8217;s hard not to make some sort of basic emotional attachment with them.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/09/being-elmo-trailer" target="_blank">Trailer for Being Elmo</a> &#8211; I have seen many videos with this guy and he seems completely genuine and is doing what he loves.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JObX4R0nw1Y" target="_blank">Sometimes the paper airplane works just perfectly</a>. Strange, though &#8211; my experience has always been that stupid unconventional paper airplanes fly like crap.</p>
<div id="attachment_2184" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2184" title="Paper Airplanes" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/brett2.jpg" alt="It's unlikely this design confers any flight advantages" width="550" height="339" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#39;s unlikely this design confers any flight advantages</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=AMowaZ3I90o" target="_blank">Anti ship missile test</a>. 1) It seems like there was no actual explosive in the missile. 2) These things are terrifying. 3) Flying a jet at low altitudes *and* filming like a boss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~nava/courses/psych_and_brain/pdfs/Stratton_1896.pdf" target="_blank">If you wear goggles that invert everything in your vision for a few days</a>, your brain will automatically correct it and things will look normal to you again.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/reviews/2011/09/reviews_sl_strandbeest/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">Tiny models of the famous wind walker sculptures</a>. The real size ones look creepy and like giant insects. Maybe the smaller ones will be cute. Once they&#8217;re in your home though there&#8217;s no turning back.</p>
<p><a href="http://twistedsifter.com/2011/09/ferdinand-cheval-ideal-palace/" target="_blank">French postman builds a palace by hand over 33 years</a>. My postman isn&#8217;t nearly this cool.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/09/two-stage-clustered-water-rocket.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+makezineonline+%28MAKE%29" target="_blank">Two stage water rocket reaches over 800 feet</a>. I suppose if it&#8217;s that powerful though, the water rocket can still probably blow you up if you aren&#8217;t careful.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/09/26/cool_video_day" target="_blank">Where do I get the job where I discuss slinky physics all day</a>? Oh &#8211; retired physics teacher is what I&#8217;m talking about? Damn.</p>
<div id="attachment_2185" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2185" title="Slinky" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/brett3.jpg" alt="Slinky, slinky, everyone loves a slinky" width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Slinky, slinky, everyone loves a slinky</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yVhTyPaaLQ" target="_blank">Painting with squeeze bottles</a>. This is when we know that people have run out of things to paint and now have to come up with arbitrarily stupid methods of doing things.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gufXf67qBcc" target="_blank">Mad magazine &#8211; they still exist</a>? I guess they&#8217;re just scavenging the internet to try to hang onto the last few readers / viewers they have.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7eSpn9jC4&amp;feature=youtube_gdata_player" target="_blank">Chevy Chase still occasionally has it</a>. It&#8217;s no Caddyshack, but Community still has some good moments.</p>
<div id="attachment_2186" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2186" title="Chevy Chase" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/brett4.jpg" alt="Glory days, yeah goin' back, glory days aw he ain't never had, glory days ... glory days." width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Glory days, yeah goin&#39; back, glory days aw he ain&#39;t never had, glory days ... glory days.</p></div>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/zX6H9.jpg" target="_blank">I can&#8217;t find the video link to this to see if it&#8217;s legit</a>. If it is though, that Bill O&#8217;Reilly is a clever man.</p>
<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/Sq3td.jpg" target="_blank">This seems legit</a>. Why would anybody ever turn off Google autocomplete?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhFXb6OJh_w" target="_blank">Dude &#8211; you need to cool off a little before you take your shower and get changed</a>. Or else he&#8217;s really nervous to be talking to the media post game.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2011/09/27" target="_blank">Don&#8217;t mess with a guy on a buffalo</a>. Especially one that has a ridiculous soundtrack.</p>

Thankfully, this week provided. Behold &#8211; 2 top links for the double edition.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2011/09/13" target="_blank">Wow &#8211; this is a ridiculous Suspension Bridge climb</a>. This is going to be one of those things that other kids try to copy and you heard it here first &#8211; 100&#8217;s dead.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH-8FFOdh5o" target="_blank">Chinese time travel commercial</a>. The director of this one really understands how the world works.</p>
<p>Keep reading for Eddie Vedder reborn as a Latino, TV show outtakes and when Dracula attacks. <span id="more-2174"></span></p>
<p><strong>Videogame Links</strong></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p><a href="http://lambdageneration.com/posts/dota-2-client-leaked-including-actual-hl2-episode-three-code/" target="_blank">The Dota 2 client was leaked &#8211; is there any Episode 3 code in there</a>? Potentially. I hope so &#8211; keeps the dream alive. And the weapons mentioned sound pretty cool.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/09/golden-nintendo-quest/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">Quest for the golden Nintendo game</a>. I think it&#8217;s great to have direction in life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-diablo-iii-beta/17-4931/" target="_blank">Quick look for Diablo 3</a>. This is certainly going to be the best game of whatever year in which it is released. Hopefully 2011.</p>
<p>The Trine 2 trailer &#8211; <a href="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/09/14/trine-2-trailer-makes-everything-okay-again/" target="_blank">looks like they&#8217;ve added colors to the sequel</a>. That&#8217;s a big change.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.destructoid.com/yeah-mark-hamill-wing-commander-iii-is-out-on-gog-com-211346.phtml" target="_blank">Wing Commander on Good Old Games</a> &#8211; now you can finally see the best moment of Mark Hamill&#8217;s career.</p>
<p><a href="http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/09/16" target="_blank">The PS Vita is coming &#8211; get excited</a>. Battery life is like the original Game Boy, except no reasonable consumer product can demand 4 AAA batteries anymore.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGL1pIQVJVo&amp;feature=colike" target="_blank">Check out the motion capture behind Harley Quinn&#8217;s hot moves</a>. Incredible.</p>
<p>NBA Jam was missing something. The people on the design team thought long and hard about what it possibly could have been, and then they came up with it: <a href="http://kotaku.com/5840788/honey-badgers-in-nba-jam-honey-badgers-in-nba-jam" target="_blank">Honey Badgers</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr3b5rJZq01qjmldjo1_500.png" target="_blank">Sorry Mario, but the Princess is in another castle</a>. But what&#8217;s this?</p>
<div id="attachment_2176" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2176" title="Mario" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/suspension2.png" alt="If you stay until after the credits of the first Mario game you see some hot Toad &amp; Mario action. " width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">If you stay until after the credits of the first Mario game you see some hot Toad &amp; Mario action. </p></div>
<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>
<p><a href="http://kotaku.com/5839205/china-not-only-has-diablo-v" target="_blank">I thought China was just a couple hours ahead of the United States but apparently they&#8217;re years into the future</a>. Not only do they have Diablo 5 but they have the expansion pack.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAkB1oZDSbA" target="_blank">The World of Warcraft family</a>. Some might see this as sad but you know &#8211; they&#8217;re bonding more than most families I guess. It&#8217;s better than the furry video below.</p>
<p><em><strong>Non-Videogame Links</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Interesting</em></p>
<p>A TV show where you apparently try to imitate a famous person and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD32b_iA2uE" target="_blank">this guy&#8217;s Eddie Vedder is fantastic</a>. An even better imitation is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREKkAk628I&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">this Queen one</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/09/vladimir-putin-action-man/100147/" target="_blank">Putin, as always, is a man of action</a>. This is why America is on the decline.</p>
<div id="attachment_2177" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2177" title="Putin" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/suspension3.jpg" alt="Russia closed their budget gap by replacing the entire army with Putin himself.

Good times.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/09/no-flash-windows-8-metro/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">The future of Flash is grim</a>. Looks like the good people at Apple might be winning the war.</p>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/15282373" target="_blank">Watermelon carving</a>. I guess this is kind of impressive, but then again &#8211; your most impressive skill is carving up fruit.</p>
<p>Most of the covers on the internet are pretty bad. Sometimes even if you&#8217;re bad, however, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qho3So_erc" target="_blank">the source material more than makes up for it</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://kottke.org/11/09/super-freaky-realtime-facial-substitution" target="_blank">Real time facial changing software</a>. Creepy. Very creepy.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing that can&#8217;t be improved by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxhqVrbixZc" target="_blank">adding Tom Selleck&#8217;s mustache</a>.</p>
<p><em>Funny</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfAi6Gwv3pI" target="_blank">Outtakes from The Office</a>. I don&#8217;t know how they actually finish filming anything as it seems like they&#8217;re laughing all the time. Not quite as good as the Community outtakes, however. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYZr_zpLRIE" target="_blank">Especially the Batman parts</a>. Actually, you know that Community is a much better show because the outtakes are much funnier. You don&#8217;t even need to watch the Office ones.</p>
<p><a href="http://eho.st/pjgh61kj+" target="_blank">Is Dracula biting my head</a>? No? Cool.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWn0lxRNqos" target="_blank">You Suck at Photoshop</a> &#8211; removing the wedding ring from a finger. With a little extra commentary on the side.</p>
<p>The speech <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P-H4tijGjM" target="_blank">Ricky Gervais prepared for the Emmy&#8217;s</a> was pretty good. It really feels like it should be Emmies, not Emmy&#8217;s.</p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/XVU2o.jpg" target="_blank">Sorry Laura Bush</a>. Sacrifices have to be made. Corners have to be cut if we&#8217;re going to balance the budget.</p>
<div id="attachment_2178" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2178" title="Laura Bush" src="http://www.backhandofjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/suspension4.jpg" alt="Photo evidence suggests that Laura Bush is either a robot or a wax mannequin. " width="550" height="220" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo evidence suggests that Laura Bush is either a robot or a wax mannequin. </p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2011/09/16" target="_blank">I love the way the girl in the background can&#8217;t even help but laugh at this ridiculous car crash runthrough</a>. I wish I was this excited about anything.</p>
<p><a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/09/16/star-trek-vs-star-wars-according-to-captain-kirk.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">Star Wars or Star Trek &#8211; which is better</a>? This just proves how great Shatner really is &#8211; constantly joking even in random interviews, just like Bill Murray.</p>
<p>You probably thought that Coyote was alive. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJP1DphOWPs" target="_blank">Nope, just Chuck Testa</a>.</p>
<p>Even more difficult than working on The Office, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L71BauuM9os" target="_blank">however, is working with Will Ferrell</a>. Impossible.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqoatmtDCAg" target="_blank">Sometimes the cops aren&#8217;t that annoyed about excessive drinking</a>. It&#8217;s about being in the right place. I can respect that.</p>
<p>In honor of the Simpsons&#8217; 23rd anniversary (or rather, in honor of the 13th consecutive shit season after the first decade of quality) <a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/09/simpsons-scenes/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader&amp;pid=4873" target="_blank">these are some of the best Simpsons clips</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/vA8Yh.jpg" target="_blank">Why are neighbors so inconsiderate these days</a>? Just remove the damn patio chairs.</p>
<p>Should you have another drink? <a href="http://i.imgur.com/xFFXR.jpg" target="_blank">Just follow the flow chart</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://teamcoco.com/video/nicole-scherzinger-busts-conan" target="_blank">Nicole Scherzinger on Conan O&#8217;Brien</a>. Something tells me this is staged, but what are you going to do.</p>
<p><em>I have brought great shame to my family</em></p>
