Friday Links: Force of Nature Edition
This is not just the greatest ever Modern Warfare 2 commentary, but quite possibly the greatest thing to ever happen. Also this guy is clearly a huge psychopath, as you can verify from his other videos.

Friday Links: Compound Clay Pigeon Edition
Not that I’ve ever done it, but I can imagine that clay pigeon target shooting is difficult enough with a shotgun. To do it with a compound bow to me is even more impressive than if you were doing it with a rifle.

Friday Links: Evolution of Balance Edition
The Evolution of Balance. Ok, so bike stunts were pretty cool, but now we have unicycle stunts. Where does evolution go from here? 2 wheels … 1 wheel … I think you see where I’m going with this.
Keep reading for Chris Metzen the nerdiest man alive, P Diddy dollar dollar bills (billz?) and real life Quiddich. Also, the internet sucks this week. read more
Friday Links: Holography Edition
Holograms are one of those things that will tell us when the future is now, along with flying cars and robot butlers. While the second and third things on that list are already a reality, holograms are still out of reach. This might not be fully there, but it’s still damn impressive.

Friday Links: BBoy Joker Edition
BBoy Joker is one of the most creative uses of action figures I’ve ever seen. I wish it was slightly more interactive, but for YouTube this is about as good as you can get.

Friday Links: Space Age Edition
Kid and his dad send a balloon with camera into space. This is incredible. When I was a kid my ambitions were far smaller.

Friday Links: Rap History Edition
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake give a little rap history lesson. I see a second career in there for Jimmy somewhere. Well played.
Keep reading for Kirby’s Epic Yarn, even more Gymkhana and The Sesto Elemento! read more
Friday Links: Goodnight Moon Edition
The best dinosaur book in the world. I wish Amazon had the whole version for free online. I predict it’s a new children’s bedtime classic.
Keep reading for Bioshock Infinite, original castle building and Inspector Gadget goes to Bollywood. read more
Friday Links: Certain Death Edition
This has to be the worst job in the world. My hands get sweaty just watching the video. There must be some visual reaction – I wonder how that was trained into people despite the fact that everybody who negatively experiences a massive fall is probably dead.
