Researchers Turned Super Mario Bros and Other NES Games Into an Eight Player, 360 Degree Experience


With some modifications to the original NES, an octagon of controllers and several projectors, these Disney researchers covered the walls with classic 8-bit games. One game controller is active at a time, up to eight people can play as the game controllers cycle through.  They can change according to game position on the screen or after a fixed amount of time. 

This graphic shows that with this setup, it can be played with a virtual reality display as well.

Passionate Reporter Warns Against Storm Desmond and Becomes the Internet's Hero


Reporter Teresa Mannion warned all idiots to stay inside while Storm Desmond raged on in Ireland. She struggled to be heard against the rain and wind of the storm and quickly became an internet celebrity because of how passionate her report was. 

So of course she got photoshopped.

Then, eventually, also remixed into a pop song. 



There's even a petition to have the next big storm that comes to Ireland named Storm Teresa.  It already has almost 900 signatures.

"Bread Face Blog" is, well, exactly what it sounds like. A woman films herself smashing her face into different kinds of bread, and posts those videos on Instagram. She also has a Twitter where she posts poems about the bread.

Your hobbies may be weird, but they aren't this weird.

Fail of The Day: Teen Named "Bud Weisser" Arrested For Trespassing at Budweiser Brewery in Missouri

We can't make this up.

Nineteen-year-old Bud Weisser was cited for trespassing and resisting arrest in Missouri after he was found in a restricted area of the Budweiser brewery Thursday, according to Daily Mail.

Weisser apparently crashed his car in the parking lot and hopped a fence to enter the brewery. Police were called to the scene after he refused to leave the area.

Here's another look at Mr. Weisser.

Seems to be an upstanding young gentleman.
