It’s like real life Jenga. Only instead of carefully removing each piece of the puzzle, this lunatic uses a sledge hammer to smash the base of a silo into smithereens so that the entire tower will collapse in one off the wall demonstration.

I’m not sure what it is about seeing a giant piece of metal being swallowed by another giant piece of metal but it’s almost therapeutic. It’s like seeing insect fights on YouTube but on a more gargantuan, real life Transformers level. Whatever it is, I can’t get enough. Here’s the Hammel Red Giant Car Shredder having its way with a little car. I keep hoping that the little green car can get away but it never does. Sad. But so much weird fun to see.

Pure destruction. Top Gear wanted to see exactly what happens when a train smashes into a car stuck on the railroad tracks so they set up a test of their own: they put a minivan on the tracks and pummeled it with a speeding train. It gets pretty brutal.

Want to watch an expensive, dangerous, and mesmerizing fireworks display in your living room? It’s easy. Just buy a plasma TV and then hook it up to 2000 volts.

The Cold War was a very good war for tanks, despite the lack of wars requiring tank battles. Now some of these old Soviet-era tanks have been spruced up and taken out for a day of tearing up the Earth. If you’re going to do this, at least do it in a tank.

Like to tempt fate? Then you might want to check out Send Me To Heaven, the Android app that uses your phone’s accelerometers to track how high it travels when thrown upward. Assuming you don’t fumble your handset on its return trip, its distance will join that of other daredevils on the game’s leaderboards. That’s all there is to it. Really. According to Kotaku, Apple pulled the game from iTunes because it encourages “behavior that could result in damage to the user’s device.” We’ve reached out to developer Carrot Pop for comment on Apple’s actions and will update this post if we hear back. In the meantime, do you feel lucky?

Though jokes can be cracked about Detroit from afar, it doesn’t change the fact that there are real people suffering through the downfall of a once proud city. It’s terrible. It’s sad. And it doesn’t get more heart wrenching than these mashed-up photographs that show what a Detroit High School once looked like, normal and happy, and what it looks like now, abandoned and destroyed.

Halfbrick wants to watch it all burn with Colossatron: Massive World Threat
Posted in: Today's Chili
The makers of Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja want you to destroy the planet. From the halls of the first annual PAX Australia comes Colossatron: Massive World Threat. Sure, the game’s whole mass-destruction-via-aliens concept sounds a lot like Rampage, but as the announcement trailer shows, it’s oh so much more. Players take control of a modular robotic snake, using all manner of upgradeable weapons and abilities to wreak wanton top-down chaos on an unsuspecting populace. The goal? Causing as much property damage as possible. Think of it as a modern take on Godzilla with a campy anime slant and you’re mostly there. The Queensland, Australia developer’s latest will be playable at its booth for the duration of the show. Can’t make it to the expo? Skip past the break for the debut video.
