Interesting, but the first 3 don't strike me as particularly ridiculous. (4-6, on the other hand...)

Extra Credits got its own website sometime.  Extra Credits is awesome and should be devoured completely.

Great fun for armchair quarterbacks of the game industry.

Dubstep finally proves its worth and evolves into Daymanstep (fighter of the Nightmanstep).

Interesting article about how people do work better when they're solo.

Except on the internet, which is supposedly the only way people can efficiently collaborate.

Haha.

I'm never sure why some people seem to think that "one person may harbour feelings for the other and/or be willing to have sex with the other if he/she asked" disqualifies friendship. The high sex-drive bisexual still has friends, and I don't think he or she misses out on anything meaningful from friendship.

Depends how you define friendship really.  If it includes "someone you can vent your relationship frustrations to" then it really would be a disqualification, I'd think.

It wouldn't if you wanted to fuck every woman you interact with like this is suggesting.  You would just bitch about every other woman you want to fuck.

I've banged friends before. It's a fun way to spend time. Just don't be weird about it.

Really happy about this.  I can't stand the voyeuristic media attention to missing persons cases, but if we're going to indulge in that stuff as a society, for god's sake we need to expand the list of victims worthy of attention beyond cute blonde white girls.

Herman Cain fully embraces his status as a Pokemon Master.  And sings.

Slightly too late for his own presidential nod.

Fanmade Dark Souls trailer.  Considerably more awesome than the actual game:

In 2 and a half hours from right now Hottest 100 will be playing on Triple J.  It is Australias biggest countdown of top 100 songs from the last year and it trends away from Pop music, so there is a lot of interesting stuff you might not have run into every day for the last year.  Can stream it all from their website.

So, you know how we live in the future and it is awesome?  Well here is an example of an industry moving with the times.  I suppose it is awesome?

I am trying not to be a luddite here, but I am not ready to embrace technology that closely.
