If you ever have free time, or just want to feel productive while procrastinating, there’s a YouTuber named Crashcourse that’s up for the job. John, the host, explains complex and long subjects regarding anything from history to science in under 15 minutes. Not only that, but they spice up the learning with pictures, animations, and…
Thanks to an article by Cracked staff member, Robert Brockway; I have discovered this wonderful website called Kickstarter. I recently pledged $25 to The Banner Saga, a turn-based roleplaying and adventure game about vikings.

Personally, I’m not a gamer, but I thought Draw Something is a pretty neat concept where you choose a word from a list of three words (where each had its own scaling of difficulty) draw…

Now, if you don’t know what Anonymous is, it is a group of people across the internet who claim to practice and promote certain social causes through online dissidence. For example, to send a message that the takedown of MegaUpload was…
Yeah, I know there’s issues being raised with the Kony campaign by Invisible Children and what not, but have you already forgotten about the Occupy movement? I guess no one really cares anymore, or at least, even more so than they did at the start. But here’s a short comedy directed by Wong Fu productions…
