As usual, every single time I see one of these movie remakes as an 8-bit retro game I feel the nostalgia of playing something that I never played. Their version of Inception is, once again, impeccable. I wish these people made games instead of just videos.

There’s something hypnotic about watching vehicles crash and roll, especially knowing that only the test dummies are in danger. However, in this image-stabilized clip, the car doesn’t seem to be the one rolling, but rather the entire world around it.

I don’t care what they say about Guardians of the Galaxy. I wanted to see this movie before this teaser trailer, talking raccoons and whatnot, but now I want to see this space opera even more. It’s really going to be some serious eye candy sci-fi porn.

But it also looks sort of beautiful. In a if this school of fish surrounds you, your skin will melt, your flesh will be eaten raw and your bones will be cleaned dry kind of way.

This is some Jedi-level Star Wars tribute art: the Coruscant Tapestry is 30 feet of cross-stitchery chronicling every character, plot point, and detail from Episodes One through Six, framed with quotes in freaking Aurebesh. The Force is strong with Aled Lewis.

What you’re looking at is a carbon fiber drive shaft and a steel drive shaft being twisted with force until they break. As you can see in this torque test between the two, the carbon fiber shaft doesn’t budge (that’s not a still image, folks) while the steel shaft cork screws itself and becomes deformed under the same amount of twisting pressure. Gnarly.
