If Xbox Achievements Were Real Video | War Would Be More Fun But A Lot More Bloody

Posted: 14 Apr 2010 11:56 AM PDT

Anyone who plays Xbox 360 games, or even PS3 games which have their own equivalent called Trophies, will know about Achievements, which make up an extraneous but important part of every title.

But what if Achievements (and Trophies) existed in real life? War would certainly be a lot more fun, but more people would die, and in lots of bizarre and unexpected ways.

Achievements are basically rewards for doing certain things in a game. So a war game may need you to kill a certain number of people with your knife, or get through a battle without taking any damage.

This video shows what would happen if real soldiers fighting real wars were rewarded with Achievements. And while it’s very funny, it also implies it would be a really sorry state of affairs. Lucky then that it’s never going to happen.

Sue Sylvester Sings Vogue Video | Season 2 Episode 1 Of Glee Sees The Game Upped

Posted: 14 Apr 2010 06:56 AM PDT

Glee is back, and about time too. Season 2 kicked off in spectacular fashion, with the drama more intense yet entertaining and fun, and the song quota and quality pushed skywards.

The highlight of Episode 1 was Sue Sylvester, brilliantly played by Jane Lynch, covering Madonna’s Vogue.

I admit it, I’m a Gleek. Which isn’t easy to say considering I’m a 33-year-old male, which isn’t really the target audience. But I can’t help it, as this is one show that never fails to entertain me.

Being in the U.K., we got Season 1 a little later than the U.S., but we’re now caught up and ready for Season 2.

My hopes for this season of Glee? Sue gets more evil and conniving, Will and Emma get it on in a big way, Rachel and Finn also get it on in a big way, and there to be songs galore.

Astoria Scum River Bridge Brings Change Video | Real People Make a Difference

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 05:27 PM PDT

If you’ve ever felt like you were too insignificant to make a difference, you need to watch this video. It shows two ordinary guys who brought about some big changes in their city.

Sick of walking over the New York subway leak lovingly dubbed the Astoria Scum River, Jason Eppink and Posterchild bought a bridge for pedestrians. People began to take notice, including the media and local council.

All this attention compelled Amtrak to fix the leak, and the sidewalk was restored to its former glory.

This is an example of people power at its finest. All it took was a crude bridge made by a couple of regular Joes to inspire change.

New “Unbreakable” LCD Screen (Video) | Samsung Developing Indestructable Phone?

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 12:30 PM PDT

You’ve probably already seen the supposedly “unbreakable” phone that broke at CES 2010, now Samsung is developing an actual unbreakable phone. So far they’ve managed to make this super-resilient LCD.

Watch as the new screen is compared side-by-side to normal LCD screens- with a hammer involved.

Tecjnically this screen isn’t LCD technology at all but rather a new type called OLED. As you can see the screen can take pounds from a hammer and even bend easily. As for bending in completely in half- I don’t think they’ve managed to figure that out yet.

I can’t tell you how many of my phones I’ve had to replace because their LCD broke so easily. This type of technology could revolutionize most electronics.
