Watch an Exclusive Metallica 'Through the Never' Featurette (1 видео)
Metallica release their long-awaited 3D concert film ‘Metallica Through the Never’ at IMAX theaters nationwide today, with the movie arriving in regular theaters a week later. We’re partnering with our sister sites Loudwire, Noisecreep and ScreenCrush to bring you this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette. ‘Hit the Lights: The Making of ‘Metallica Through the Never’ – Chapter 8: The Fans’ chronicles the band’s shows at the Palacio del los Deportes in Mexico City in the summer of 2012 that played to 170,000 people over eight nights. The dates served as a dress rehearsal for the concert that was filmed for the movie, which was performed at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Aug. 24, 2012. The nearly six-minute clip shows the depth of Metallica’s Mexican fan base, which includes a duo that’s traveled all across Latin America to see them and Mexican wrestler Axel “Nieto del Santo,” who shows up in full luchador regalia. You see the band meeting fans backstage and bassist Robert Trujillo describing the sheer force of the crowd’s enthusiasm from the moment they began the first concert. “IMAX! It doesn’t get bigger or cooler than that!” Lars Ulrich said about the movie in a press release. “For four guys in a rock band of average height, to get a chance to unleash their 3D film on IMAX screens the size of buildings across the country is a mind-blowing thought. ‘Hey look, Mom, I’m 50 feet tall (finally!)’ There is no better way to experience film and when you throw in the spectacle of music and sound this should amount to an unprecedented, unique and truly next level experience.”

Sophitia (Soul Calibur 3) Awesome Cosplay (7 фото)
Heralding in the start of the highly sought-after weekend is Sophitia, the warrior on a holy mission to destroy the Soul Edge from the Soul Calibur series. Sophitia was originally a baker, helping out at her family’s bakery until she was approached by the god Hephaestus. He tasked her with seeking out the unholy sword, Soul Edge, and destroying it to spare the world of its evil. She received the mighty Omega Sword, took up a shield and headed off on her holy mission. She was said to have been killed in Soul Calibur 5, but she’ll make her return in SoulCalibur: Lost Swords. This is AlisaKiss, as cosplayer from the US, as the lovely Sophitia. She has impressively crafted every bit of the outfit herself and has even taken to wearing it in the fresh snow, which adds a little something extra to the shoot. The fact that she created her own Omega Sword and Owl Shield is also very impressive, making this one awesomely accurate cosplay. See more of her badass outfits on deviantART. If you’re a fan of classic action movies, you’ll definitely enjoy seeing her Red Sonja costume!

Batman: Arkham Origins Adding Permadeath Mode (1 фото)
The Batman: Arkham games have always featured a more challenging New Game+ mode, but Arkham Origins is ramping things up even more with “I am the Night” mode. Speaking with Eurogamer, Batman: Arkham Origins producer Guillaume Voghel discussed new details about the upcoming sequel. We already knew Origins would feature some DLC that would put you in the shoes of an even younger Bruce Wayne as he studied martial arts abroad, but we didn’t know much else beyond those few facts. “You play as Bruce Wayne learning to be a ninja,” Voghel said. “That’s a really cool one. Narratively there’s some added content that will give players a little more background story.” “[But] it’s not League of Assassins, it’s ninja-related,” Voghel added. “It’s when he learned to be a ninja and learned those techniques. He goes to a monastery – custom content was created for the DLC. You’ll be in Asia in the monastery. The team did a great job on that, it looks really good.” Of course, that’s not the only cool news about Origins Voghel revealed. In addition to the now standard New Game+, Origins’ “I am the Night” mode ramps up the difficulty even further. After completing New Game+, the new mode opens, and you’ll only have one life to live as Batman. You will be able to save your progress, but the minute you fail or die, the game ends. It’ll probably be the most accurate way to play as Batman, but it sounds like it will clearly be the most difficult way to complete Origins’ 12-hour story.

Jinx Joins the Champions of League of Legends (1 фото)
Riot Games has announced that a new character will be joining the ranks of League of Legends‘ Champions. Let’s take a look at Jinx, the Loose Cannon. According to the official League of Legends site, Jinx will be making her debut in the foreseeable future and bring a lot of chaos to the game. She’s described as “packing major attitude and equipped with a cornucopia of carnage,” making her one deadly addition to this happy little family of Champions. Here are this sharpshooter’s abilities: Passive: Get Excited! – Gives Jinx a movement speed buff whenever a Champion or tower that she’s recently attacked is killed or destroyed. The buff decays over time. Q: Switcheroo! – Jinx switches her weapons from the Fishbones rocket launcher to the Pow-Pow minigun. The rocket launcher makes it so her basic attacks consume mana, but gives them extra range and damage. The minigun grants speed to her basic attacks and stacks up to three times. W: Zap! – Jinx fires off an electrical blast that deals damage to an enemy and slows them down. Perfect for running away from pursuers. E: Flame Chompers! – Jinx pops a line of snare grenades with delayed detonation. These light enemies on fire and root anyone who detonates them early. R: Super Mega Death Rocket! – According to the site, this ultimate attack travels around and “explodes on the first enemy champion hit, dealing damage to the target and all nearby enemies based on a percentage of their missing health.” Sounds tasty.

Couple's Awesome Engagement Photos Are a Cinematic Delight (9 фото)
We’re not sure what decade you’re living in, but unless you’re using Photoshop to radically alter your engagement photos, you’re never going to get internet famous from a bunch of pictures. NEVER! One Redditor has learned from his predecessors (dinosaur wedding party, zombie engagement couple) that you don’t have to embarrass yourself in a Home Depot for a hearty splash of attention from the blogosphere — you just need to spend some time in Photoshop making something with lots of nerd appeal. It’s like the indoor kid version of a flash mob! Anywho, here are some pictures he made of himself and his soon-to-be wife in classic movie scenes.

10 Cartoons That Should Be Terrible But Are Actually Great (1 фото + 10 видео)
Did you ever hear someone describing a show they’re telling you is great and think, “That sounds like the dumbest thing ever”? Or maybe you were watching one of your favorite cartoons and suddenly realized that the premise is totally ridiculous. Plenty of cartoons start with ideas that are dumb, implausible, weird, or just not great ideas for a TV show at first glance. Some are predictably garbage, but others are actually really top notch shows. Here are 10 of the best cartoons born of ideas that sound like the worst.

Cold-Hearted Woman Steals Baseball From Little Girl (1 видео)
It turns out the Houston Astros’ fans stink almost as much as the team does. This video from a 2012 Astros game that’s only now making the Internet rounds captures a woman straight up ripping a ball from a little girl’s hands and then basking in the glory of her accomplishment while the girl walks away dejected. It’s awful. There is a bright side here: the video can distract people from talking about how the 2013 Astros are putting the finishing touches on a 100-loss, last-place season. So, in addition to upgrading their players, maybe the Astros ought to consider upgrading their fans, too.

Two Mailmen Duking It Out in Hilarious Prank (1 видео)
This video just may explain why the US Postal Service doesn’t have the greatest reputation. This prank video captures a fake postal worker very publicly discarding mail he deems irrelevant and ultimately getting into a fight with his boss in front of a crowd. Let’s hope this isn’t what’s going on with the post office these days, because it’d be a first-class mess.

Woman Quits Job in Best Possible Way With 4AM Dance Video (1 видео)
Tired of a boss who puts quantity over quality, this woman decided to finally express herself…by quitting via dance video. Marina Shifrin was until very recently an employee at Next Media Animation — you know, that company that makes all those insane animated news videos. It seems she got tired of cranking them out, and decided it was time to say farewell at four in the morning — not an unusual time for her to be in the office. So anyway, here is her incredibly unprofessional, but entertaining, less-than-two weeks’ notice, set to Kanye’s ‘Gone.’

The Big Dog Is About To Get Quieter And Bulletproof (1 фото + 1 видео)
Boston Dynamics continues to “improve” its Big Dog robot. Not content with giving it an arm for a head that can throw cinder blocks, the Pentagon has asked for the Big Dog to be more quiet. Also bulletproof. OH GOODY. The LS3 Support System, better known to robophiles (as in people who like robots, not our own admittedly highly loveable Robopanda) as “Big Dog”, just got an extra ten million in funding from DARPA. Why? Within the general scope of work of Phase 2, the modification adds additional tasks to the contract for the development of an enhanced version of the LS3 system with increased reliability and usability, enhanced survivability against small arms fire and a quiet power supply to support stealthy tactical operations. Just to review, Big Dog can already do this:

'Breaking Bad' Letter To The Editor (3 фото)
You know, I didn’t agree with what Gordon Drennan from Burton was saying about Breaking Bad, until he got to the point about Jesse being Walt’s “best student.” Now I’m on board. We’re being corrupted, and only Gordon Drennan from Burton, who wrote a letter to his local newspaper to morally complain about the show’s Outstanding Drama Series Emmy win, has the balls to call us out, as a society. Ah, I remember when times were simpler.

Guillermo Del Toro Is Working On The Next Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror (1 фото)
Yup, like the headline says, the next Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode will feature an opening created by the director of Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy and Pacific Rim. I guess it makes sense — The Simpsons doesn’t seem terribly concerned with being funny anymore, so why not go the other direction and hire guys like Guillermo Del Toro to make their Halloween episode legitimately scary? Hit the jump for some more details… According to The Hollywood Reporter, Del Toro’s opening will “feature monsters and classic characters from horror films of the past several decades.” Hmmm! Well, that certainly sounds Del Toro-esque. The rest of the episode will of course do the usual three short stories thing. The first “sees Homer Simpson traveling around Springfield wreaking havoc in a rhyming take on a popular children’s story” (no thanks), the second begins when “Bart is beheaded during a kite accident, and…” (I’ve heard enough) and the third is a parody of the 1932 film Freaks starring Moe and Mr. Burns, which actually sounds like not a terrible idea. The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XXIV airs on October 6th, and I’ll be watching, because I barely remember a time in my life when they weren’t making new Simpsons episodes, and I don’t know what I’d do if they stopped. Probably feel very old and sad.

Andy Samberg Tells Conan About Adam Sandler Attending His Wedding (1 видео)
I would never subject myself to sitting through ninety minutes of a 21st century Happy Madison production but despite never seeing the film I feel plenty confident in stating that Andy Samberg telling Conan O’Brien the story of how Adam Sandler showed up to his rehearsal dinner in character from That’s My Boy and screaming things like, “Oh, am I f*cking embarrassing you, buddy?” is infinitely better than anything else that has ever had to do with that movie. I mean, sure, Adam Sandler is essentially putting a hex on the marriage from the very start, but I still enjoy the idea of Sandler not taking himself seriously in mixed company and going all in on the bit. That part starts around halfway through above, after Samberg recounts the joys of losing his virginity — HAD SEX-style — on his wedding night. And below are some action-comedy acting tips for all you newly found Brooklyn Nine Nine fans.

Watch Vince Gilligan Announce His First Post-'Breaking Bad' Project (1 фото + 1 видео)
One of the most talked-about subjects in the entertainment world is what Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan will do now that he’s done running arguably the greatest show ever. We know he’ll have a hand in the Saul Goodman spinoff, and yesterday news leaked that CBS has picked up a drama script he originally wrote — and they originally rejected — back in 2002. But neither of those projects are what’s next in line for Gilligan. As he revealed in an exclusive on Conan, his next move actually has nothing to do with the entertainment industry — it’s far more ambitious. The man is no longer just in the TV or movie business. He’s very clearly in the empire business.

The NSA Hires Way Too Many Creepy Stalkers (1 фото)
Part of the reason any reasonable person should be skeptical of the NSA’s claim that most Americans are safe from its prying eyes is the fact that the only check is that they needed “51% confidence” the person they were spying on was a foreign national. And unsurprisingly, that power has been abused. Senator Chuck Grassley essentially asked the NSA to fork over any instances of “willful abuse”, and the NSA voluntarily coughed up the twelve cases that have come up since 2003. And unfortunately, it’s ugly: Out of the twelve incidents, five involved invading the privacy of American citizens who had nothing to do with the mission. Worse, almost all of the incidents essentially involve some form of stalking. One guy in particular stands out, claiming he was only looking at his ex-girlfriend’s emails and phone calls to “test” the system. Another analyst tried to pretend she was looking up her boyfriend’s friends because she didn’t want to get involved with “shady characters.” And one incident had an analyst doing this to his girlfriends for five years. All of this violates the human rights and privacy of those involved, and it doesn’t appear that anybody involved in these incidents spent a day in jail for that; most of these people were allowed to resign before the Department of Justice could take disciplinary action. Worse, a lot of this is borderline stalking behavior, or outright stalking, and that was prosecuted either. Realistically, this is also only what the NSA has caught. Abuse could be endemic, or really could be limited to a few bad eggs. But since the NSA has no accountability to, you know, the people who bought them all these fancy toys, we’re probably never going to know.

Watch Jimmy Kimmel Address Kanye West's Twitter Rant In His Monologue (1 фото + 1 видео)
As the entire internet is aware by now, Kanye West unleashed a Twitter character assault on Jimmy Kimmel yesterday in response to a Kanye “Kid Re-Kreation” parody Kimmel aired earlier in the week. Kimmel playfully acknowledged Kanye’s series of nonsensical 140 characters or less on Twitter not long after yesterday, but waited until his monologue (or maybe the monologue was taped before his tweets?) to full-on address the whole thing. And by “address the whole thing” I mean detail to his audience ever weird aspect of his earlier phone conversation with Kanye and then go through Kanye’s tweets one by one to subtly undermine them. The “good p**sy” tweet was practically begging for it…

An Oklahoma Boy Asked The News For Help To Push His Brother In A 5K (4 фото + 1 видео)
There are a lot of sporting events happening tonight — the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers battling for the final wild card spot in the American League, for example — but nothing is as important as a 5K race happening at Oklahoma City’s John Marshall Mid-High School, run by a 10-year old boy and his brother. Tobias Bass, 10, reached out to OK’s News 9 not for money, fame or a hand-out, but because he wanted them to ask their viewers if anybody had a jogger pusher he could borrow … because he wants his big brother, suffering from Cerebral Palsy, to run the race with him. He told the news about how sad it makes him when he sees his brother staring out through the window at kids running and laughing and having fun, and how he just wants him to experience what everyone else can. This kid is amazing and you can see every piece of his heart in the News 9 interview — hell, he wants to be an army pastor when he grows up so he can comfort men dying on the front lines — and I, like the news team and everyone else who hears his story, want him to have everything he needs. Check it out:

Cher Lloyd + T.I. Serve It Up in 'I Wish' Video (1 видео)
Cher Lloyd plays a hapless waitress without a butt and a rack in her video for ‘I Wish’ — and she has her sights set squarely on rapper T.I. The singer undergoes a bit of a transformation, courtesy of stuffing her bra and a swipe of glittery gold eye shadow across her lids. But regardless, she still catches his eye, angering the tall, hot, model-like babes with which he entered her place of employ! It’s a playful, fun and flirty look at the British singer, who is clearly having a good time cozying up to the rapper. They end up exuding a brotherly-sisterly chemistry by the end of the video.

Janus also uses the platform to praise the fans for all of their support and dedicates the clip to them. After watching the ‘Zenith’ behind the scenes featurette above, check the bottom of this post to see what the final video looks like. It’s a pretty impressive promo for a band on the rise.

Metallica Rock New York With Performances at Yankee Stadium (2 видео)
When you head to New York for the weekend, you’d better make the most of your time in the Big Apple. And that’s exactly what the guys in Metallica just did, delivering a blistering set at the legendary Apollo Theater on Sept. 21 before making a surprise appearance at Yankee Stadium the following day. The band was on hand at Yankee Stadium to help celebrate the career of Mariano Rivera, the intimidating pitcher who’s taken the mound countless times to the strains of Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman.’ Retiring after a 19-year career in the majors, Rivera might have been playing his final home game with the Yankees, and they made it count with a nearly hour-long ceremony that included appearances from former coaches and teammates, the retiring of his jersey and a live performance of — you guessed it — ‘Enter Sandman.’ You can watch video above. In addition to the song (which they kicked off by saying “This one’s for you, Mariano”) the band — decked out in special Yankees-style Metallica jerseys — presented Rivera with a giant autographed speaker with Rivera’s No. 42, the name Metallica and ‘Sandman’ on the front. “The whole thing was special, I wasn’t expecting something like that,” Rivera told ESPN. “A lot of emotions. It was more than what I was thinking.”

Paul McCartney Pays a Visit to Jimmy Kimmel (3 видео)
With his ‘New‘ album just around the corner, it’s time for Paul McCartney to start making the publicity rounds, including his first-ever visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ McCartney stopped by Kimmel’s late-night ABC talk show last night and took a few moments to chat about the new record while reminiscing about some of the high points from one of rock’s most successful and storied careers. And speaking of all that success, here’s something fans might find funny: Not only does McCartney still suffer performance anxiety, but he often has nightmares about playing disastrous gigs with the Beatles. (You can watch about 12 minutes of the interview in the videos above and below.) “You can’t control what goes on in your dreams anyway,” explained McCartney. “I’m there, say, with the Beatles, and we’re playing, and the audience starts to leave. ‘What do we do? What do we do? Quick! ‘Long Tall Sally” — they’re still leaving. You wake up in a cold sweat.” McCartney also discussed the Beatles’ historic first trip to Hollywood, saying his most prominent memory is of “Lot of screaming — which is, you know, great. Beautiful girls — we were young, we were healthy, we were ready to roll.” The band also met Elvis Presley, which left them starstruck because “we were little kids from Liverpool, growing up hearing this first burst of rock ‘n’ roll, really — we hadn’t heard that kind of stuff, so it was magical. We always wanted to meet him.” The meeting took place despite some interference from Presley’s manager, the infamous Colonel Tom Parker. As McCartney mused during the interview, “I think we were a threat — he was popular, but we were kind of taking over.”

M.I.A. Refuses to Pay Fine For Super Bowl Performance [VIDEO] (1 фото + 1 видео)
Rapper M.I.A. is refusing to pay any money to the NFL for showing off her middle-finger during her Super Bowl performance alongside Madonna last year because according to her, scantily clad faux-cheerleaders showing off their undergarments is much more offensive than what she did. Apparently the NFL have been fighting a super secret lawsuit against M.I.A. since the incident in 2012 and are seeking $1.5 million for the nasty gesture under breach of contract, and the rapper refuses to pay up for the gesture. M.I.A. responded to the suit in the above video, arguing that behind her while she’s flipping the bird is a row of girls dressed as cheerleaders all under sixteen-years-old who are thrusting their bodies and lying in a “very provocative position.” “What is offensive in America? Like, is my finger offensive? Or is an underaged black girl with her legs wide open more offensive to the family audience?” You can watch the video of M.I.A.’s stance above, especially her belief that the whole thing is a waste of time, money and just another example of some “corporate d— waving” fighting against her female empowerment, punk rock stance.

Justin Timberlake + Jimmy Fallon Show the Absurdity of Hashtag Overuse (1 видео)
The more we see Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon, the more we want them to have their own show together. Their latest joint effort? Showing everyone just how pervasive the hashtag culture has become online — and how utterly ridiculous it is. In the skit, JT and JF have a conversation (a real face-to-face one, remember those?) but they still use hashtags. Only since they actually say the word “hashtag” and include a descriptive hand gesture every time, it doesn’t take long for the whole thing to spiral into the absurd. (Where else will you find cookies, Ray Romano, sexy ghosts and ‘We Can’t Stop’ all in the same chat?) Remember, kids: Friends don’t let friends overuse hashtags.

Taylor Swift Has New Hairstyle at 'Romeo + Juliet' Premiere [PHOTOS] (4 фото)
Taylor Swift has been sporting impecabbly styled dishwater blond hair with bangs for a while now. But the starlet mixed it up for the red carpet premiere of ‘Romeo + Juliet.’ What’s her new look like? She’s still got the solid blond, which unfortunately looks almost green in certain lighting and doesn’t do her much justice. She also still has bangs … but with a twist! Swift swept her bangs to the side for the event. The result was some what mixed. On the bright side, you can see the ‘Love Story’ singer’s bright blue eyes a lot better, and the sidesweep accentuates her cheekbones as well. On the negative side, well, they’re simply too short to sweep effectively, and it just looks like she’s stuck in an awkward growing out phase, especially because of the wispy flyaways on the left side of her face. We’re not having a ‘Love Story’ with this style, but hopefully it’s a hint at a return to her once-signature curls. We miss them!

18 Extremely Unfortunate Choices of Font (18 фото)
The problem with getting all fancy with fonts is that sometimes your store that sells pouches looks like a store full of douches. (We’re pretty sure this is exclusively a Renaissance fair problem.) “LI” is easily turned into a U, and suddenly your video store looks like it’s only distributing videos off an adult nature. We never thought we’d say this, but this almost makes us appreciate comic sans. At least it’s legible. See what we mean below. (Note: while many of these words look NSFW, they really aren’t. So show them to your boss to give him or her a lesson in choosing an appropriate font for clients.)

Will Ferrell Brought His Kids to the Emmys and it Was Hilarious (1 видео)
A high point in a generally dull evening, Will Ferrell brought his kids onstage to present awards at the 2013 Emmys. Saying he was just filling in and couldn’t find childcare, Ferrell’s three kids stood onstage next to him while he announced the year’s best comedy series (It was ‘Modern Family.’ Again.) and best drama series. Clearly every award at every awards show should be given out this way.

Cast of 'Seinfeld' Has Mixed Feelings About Drake (2 фото + 1 видео)
Drake‘s new album officially dropped today (even though all the cool kids already listened to it last week,) and we know exactly what you’re thinking — sure you’ve read the reviews, but what does the cast of ‘Seinfeld’ think of Drake? Well, they can’t decide. At least they didn’t at when ‘Thank Me Later’ was released. We speculate that they would still have mixed to negative emotions about this new one, because they are characters written by Larry David, who doesn’t really like anything. Also, they’re talking about their friend named Drake who everybody likes, but then decides they don’t like. (Though Elaine has always been lukewarm on the “Drakette.”) All we can say is, that regardless of Kramer’s thoughts on NWTS, we’ll be forever grateful that the album spawned these particular gems of internet genius:
Drake‘s new album officially dropped today (even though all the cool kids already listened to it last week,) and we know exactly what you’re thinking — sure you’ve read the reviews, ...
Bike Thief Can't Outsmart Good Samaritan With a Camera (1 видео)
Not all crime fighters in the big city are superheroes. In this video, a man armed with nothing but a camera catches a would-be bike thief in New York City. The crook gives up pretty quickly, but wastes no time in trying again a few blocks later, only to have the man with the camera tail him and flag down the police. Moral of the story: the man with the camera oughta consider getting a cape because he just might be a superhero.

Watch Jimmy Fallon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Epic Lip Sync-Off (1 видео)
Last night, ‘Hello Ladies’ star Stephen Merchant, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jimmy Fallon squared off in a lip sync contest, and things quickly got out of hand. What? You think watching people pretending to sing isn’t entertaining, no matter how famous they are? Well, you’ve clearly never seen Stephen Merchant go in on ‘Boom! Shake the Room,’ the first (and best) performance given. It’s definitely entertaining.

Nightmares Fear Factory Returns With More Funny Haunted House Faces (16 фото)
There’s a chill in the air, brandy is slowly edging out rum as the drink of choice, and the skin around our eyes is brutally chapped — must be Autumn! And you know what that means — time for some laughs courtesy of perennial favorite Nightmares Fear Factory, a haunted house in Niagara Falls with a hidden camera that takes pictures of people while they’re having the crap scared out of them. Hilarious! (As long as it isn’t us.)

Chicago Couple Have Sex While Driving (1 фото + 1 видео)
The likes of Aldon Smith are DMV instructors compared to the two drivers in the video below, one of whom is having sex with a lady while driving and the other who’s filming the entire performance. It takes a certain amount of skill, and a lot of dumb luck, to get away with driver’s seat missionary position while speeding through Chicago at 50 MPH, and even more talent to narrate the footage with, “I wanna get her bouncing again.” “Dying after crashing into a tree while having car loving” is a form of a “safe sex,” right?

A HS Wrestling Star Wrestled A Kid With Down Syndrome, Became My Hero (2 фото + 1 видео)
We share a pretty thorough amount of stuff to make you cry on this site, from sick kids in wheelchairs scoring touchdowns to army dads returning home to surprise their families to dead dog mascots who tweet from Heaven, so it’s amazing to me that a story as inspiring and touching as the one between Atlanta high schoolers Demetrius de Moors and Michael Lind could be almost a year old and not have any major mainstream coverage. Demetrius was set to compete in Georgia’s prestigious South Metro Wrestling Tournament and stepped in against Lind, a kid with Down Syndrome. I won’t spoil it for you in an asinine paragraph, but if you’ve got five free minutes, watch this video in its entirety, cry a little bit, and feel a hell of a lot better about humanity.

Jon Hamm And Amy Poehler Threw An Emmy Losers Party (1 фото)
Welp, that settles it. Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler are the goddamn greatest. The two cohosted a post-Emmys Losers Party at Soho House. Nominees who failed to take home a statuette were allowed in for free, but winners had to make a $1,000 donation to World Wide Orphans (WWO). [E! Online] All told, the event raised over $30,000 between the winners’ cover charge and donations made by the losers. And it gets even better, somehow. It turns out the whole thing got started because Hamm and Poehler — two enormously talented entertainers who also appear to be a blast to hang out with — are old friends who go way back.

What SteamOS Is, And Why It Matters (1 фото)
In the first of three announcements Valve is running this week about gaming in the living room, they showed their usual modesty and restraint and announced an entire freaking operating system that can stream your entire game library. So what, precisely, is SteamOS? And why is it a big, big deal? What It Is SteamOS is basically a custom operating system built on Linux, that streams games on Steam, that Valve is giving away for free. A good analogy is to think of it as the Android of gaming PCs; Valve has publicly declared they’re handing it out to anybody who wants it. This is important for two reasons: One, it means the operating system isn’t limited to one set of hardware. Unlike your PS3 or your Xbox 360, both of which are difficult to get running outside the environment specifically tailored for them, basically SteamOS is built to work on anything. Secondly, SteamOS gets around some pretty severe problems with PC gaming in the living room by just streaming your games. That in of itself practically sells the OS to a lot of people. Why It Matters Because essentially it’s what will likely be the first step to making gaming genuinely hardware-agnostic. Valve is essentially trying to leapfrog to where the game industry is heading anyway. Both the PS4 and the Xbox One are, in essence, streamlined PCs. That’s not exactly a coincidence; they were built, from the ground up, to make developing and publishing games cheaper and easier by making the architecture more PC-like. Part of the reason Sony is cuddling up to indies and Microsoft is talking up the sports and television aspects is that there isn’t going to be much different between the two in terms of actual games. This trend isn’t going to reverse any time soon. AAA game development is costing more and more and there’s less and less return. And that isn’t just a problem for developers, but also for the people who sell video games. You know, like Valve. Will It Work? Let’s see, a free operating system that you can just throw onto pretty much anything with a processor powerful enough to take it, and boosts the value of your device? Yeah, that’ll do pretty well. Gaming PCs will probably ship this standard, and remember, Valve isn’t done with announcements yet; the next one comes on Wednesday.

15 Inspiring Quotes From Your Favorite Childhood Authors (15 фото)
Now that you are all grown up, and stressing out about paying your bills, wondering whether or not this is really all that life is, and that rather distressing throbbing sensation coming from the general vicinity of where you think your kidneys are, you probably think that the books from your childhood hold nothing for you. That would be an unfortunate mistake to make. Words from the people who wrote the books we loved as children still hold plenty of meaning. Here are quotes from some of your favorite childhood authors (from works or interviews) that we think are still relevant.

Louisiana Fourth Graders Learn About Pimps in Their Homework (2 фото)
You might not think that students learning about the various uses of the word “twister” would get an indirect lesson in prostitution, but some fourth graders in Louisiana are receiving just such an education. Brittney Badeaux, the mother of a 9-year-old student at Eaton Park Elementary School in Southern Louisiana’s Vermilion Parish, was quite surprised when her son brought home a school worksheet describing a song by the hip-hop artist Twista called ‘Po Pimp.’ Badeaux sent a copy of the worksheet to the radio station KPEL in nearby Lafayette, writing beneath the Twista item, “Is this really appropriate for a 9 year old! Would you like to explain what a pimp is to my son?? I’m not happy about this.”

Touching Video Captures Young Boy Donating Money to Police (1 видео)
The next time you want to lament the youth of America, just remember this youngster. In this video, an 11-year-old boy walks into the police station in Greenfield, Wisconsin to donate money to the department. It turns out the boy, identified as “Max,” rode his bike to the station without telling his parents so he could donate a total of $10.03 in memory of his grandfather, a Milwaukee police officer who died in the line of duty nearly 40 years ago. The money will go to the Greenfield Police Foundation. Way to go, Max! But next time, let your parents your parents know where you’re going. They were probably worried sick about their lil’ Good Samaritan.

Dairy Queen Employee's Act of Extreme Generosity Makes Him a True Hero (1 фото)
A Dairy Queen employee has scored some serious points for his customer service skills. Joey Prusak, 19, was working at a Hopkins, Minnesota Dairy Queen earlier this month when he came to the aid of a blind customer after another customer took a $20 bill the blind man dropped. The blind customer dropped the bill while he pulled out his ATM card and the other customer picked up the money and put it in her purse. That’s when Prusak sprang into action: “I told her ‘Ma’am, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because I’m not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.’” The woman did exit the store, but didn’t return the cash, so Prusak took his good deed to a whole other level when he took $20 from his own pocket and handed it to the blind man. The whole thing may have been forgotten had it not been for yet another customer who witnessed the scene and wrote an email to Prusak’s manager praising him. The email has gone viral and Prusak has become a hero to people across the nation. Business at the store is now booming, while Prusak has gotten job offers and has received big tips. Still, he’s not getting a big head because of all the attention he’s receiving for his good deed. He said, “I did it without even really thinking about it….Ninety-nine out of 100 people would’ve done the same thing as me.” Prusak, who’s worked at this Dairy Queen since he was 14, plans to save money to study business management. Looks like he’s on the right track.

Millennials Are Just So Smugfully Sorry for Being So Awful (1 видео)
It’s not easy being a millennial. In this new tongue-in-cheek video, millennials — those born roughly between 1982 and 2002 — apologize for turning out the way they have and, well, just being terrible in general. As one person in the video confesses, “We’re self-centered. We’re entitled. We’re narcissistic, lazy and immature.” Of course, they do take some subtle digs at the baby boomers who raised them for maybe playing a role in causing our country’s problems — you know, little things like war, a recession, the housing bubble, college costs and loss of jobs, just to name a few. Sure, the millennials may not be ambitious, but don’t ever question their passive-aggressive techniques.

See Drake’s ‘Nothing Was the Same’ Album Cover with Crazy Hairstyles (9 фото)
When Drake debuted his evolution from childhood to manhood in an illustration on the Kadir Nelson-designed cover of his third album, ‘Nothing Was the Same,’ one of the most noticeably detailed aspects of the image is the hairstyles. One cover depicts the rapper as a baby with an afro, while the other artwork showcases the Toronto native with a low fade and deep side part. So what would happen if grown-up Drizzy received a few hair makeovers inspired by the likes of Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus and more? Here are some remixed album covers showing off the OVO leader’s new look courtesy of TheDrop.fm. Is it “too much” or does he “own it”? You be the judge.

Merritt Wever Gave the Best Emmy Acceptance Speech Ever (1 фото + 1 видео)
We don’t know if anyone will ever top Merritt Wever’s acceptance speech at the Emmys last night. It was brief (to put it mildly), but it was perfect. Wever won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for ‘Nurse Jackie,’ beating out Jane Lynch, Julie Bowen and other comedy luminaries. In honor of her speech, we’ll keep this short. Good job, Merritt Wever. And great GIF:

The Origin Of Bodybuilding & Evolution Of Bodybuilders (8 фото + 1 видео)
The history of bodybuilding is relatively new in the grand scheme of things. Generally speaking bodybuilding began to be seen as a legitimate sport / fitness activity from as early as 1880. Eugen Sandow is known as ‘The Father of Modern Bodybuilding’, a true pioneer, he was able to build an audience around his physique – by paying a nominal amount, you were given a show whereby Sandow would flaunt his physique and take part of various strength building exercises. He soon realise that in order to keep the momentum going and hold the fickle publics interest, that he needed to expand his show beyond himself. And that’s when in 1901 he launched ‘The Great Competition’ now recognised universally as the worlds first bodybuilding contest. It took place on September 14, not in a gym or sports arena, but in the Royal Albert Hall in London of all places.

Mom Sells Disobedient Daughter's One Direction Tickets on eBay (2 фото)
If you want to teach your teenage daughter a lesson, why not deprive them the one thing they crave most? Proximity to the dulcet tones of One Direction. A woman in Australia decided to go on eBay to sell four tickets to a One Direction show that were initially intended for her daughter because the girl, well…misbehaved might be a delicate way to put it. Read the description for yourself to hear all the rage. You can practically see the steam coming out of the mother’s keyboard as she wrote this:

Cowboy Grandpa Empties Pool With Box Cutter, Pandemonium Ensues (1 видео)
Well, slashing the thing open with a knife certainly tops pushing down on one side and watching the water slowly pour out in the fun category, as far as ways to empty your above-ground pool go. We’ve got to give this self-proclaimed “cowboy” grandpa credit where credit is due — this certainly tops giving your grandkids a couple of boards, a coffee can full of nails and a hammer, which was our primary grandpa good times experience. The bet part of all — *SPOILERS* — nobody gets injured in this video, which also negates most of our grandpa experiences (did we mention the five-year-old with a hammer thing?). All in all, we’d say 10 out 10, would go to the end-of-summer pool party again next year.
