Has anyone heard of this?

Apparently it's a thing. It's a Batman Live... musical? I don't know if it's actually a musical but that's kinda what it looks like. Almost like Cirqe De Soleil but with Batman theme? Here's a trailer:

We've been shitting wrong for years

Nokia 920 vs. iPhone 5 video

Just a comparison between the 920 and the iPhone 5. Nokia's phones are amazing. Too bad they are with Windows Phone. Imagine a slick android version of the 920 with Nokia's way better builds and custom apps. Their maps app is better than google's and much better than Apple's.

Oh Cutler...

I was reading Deadspin (which is a sports blog for those that don't know) and came across two Cutler "stories." One was that he recently had a child. It's kinda mean to make fun of a baby but some of the comments people are making are pretty good. Here's one: "Camden Jack Cutler was merely another unintended result of Mike Martz insisting on going deep without adequate protection." Pretty good right? Second story is a tumblr of "the most apathetic looking athlete in the history of sports." It's just pictures of Cutler with a photoshopped cigarette in his mouth. Here's an example:

Urinal Design

I love urinals. They are one of the greatest inventions ever made. That being said, I loathe using a certain urinal at my place of employment. There are a ton of bathrooms at work but my favorite one is faculty only (huge plus so I don't have to deal with idiotic kids), no one really ever uses it, and it's the closest to my desk.

The urinal in said bathroom is fucking retarded. No matter what direction you piss into the thing, you are going to get some splashback. It can't be avoided. Obviously you don't pee straight into the back of the thing, you angle it a bit so it slightly curves against the back and not straight back at you. Still sprays everywhere. The floor immediately in front of the thing is SOAKED in a urine shaped circle. Again, you can't do anything about it in it's current state. This has bothered me for quite some time.

One day (And for the life of me I can't remember where the fuck I was [And you know what, the more I think about it, this may have happened in a dream. That's how much this whole urinal issue really annoys me]), I used the bathroom at a local establishment and the urinal there was magical. It was kinda like this but the sides were higher and the hole for peeing into was smaller so to keep splashback down:

There was no spalshback! If there was, the sides would just catch it. Oh my god it was awesome. This got me thinking about other great urinal designs and these are some that I found.

These aren't bad, but sometimes your shoes get a little splash damage on them:
Fucking love these. Sure there's no privacy but there sure as hell isn't any splashback either:
This apparently is some kind of godly urinal (Looks like a vagina to me). There's more info here:

This last one is by far my favorite though. Just stand back at the edge and let it go:


Why is there no universally accepted perfect urinal? You'd think someone would create it and everyone would jump on board and buy them up. You guys have any tales of terrible urinals? I know Sawsheezle and I share our disdain for certain ones. I know he has waterless ones where he lives. I've never had to experience one of these so I don't know the horror of them.

800 club

Not joining any religious cult or anything like that, but I am now in the "800" club. This is a weightlifting thing. You add up the max weights you have done in the three lifts: benchpress, deadlift, and squat. Usually people have benchmarks like 700, 800, 1000, and 1200. Here are my lifts as of right now:


Bench: 245 (multiple reps though so I am hoping to go higher)

Squat: 245 (again multiple reps so there is potential for more)

Deads: 310 (this one is a bitch for me cause of my long arms...)

Total: 800


So I am not looking to get big by any means, but just trying to get strong. My goals for the three exercises are


Bench: 315 ('3' plates we call it)

Squat: 315

Deads: 405 ('4' plates)

Total: 1035


Again a dream. Just want to get strong without gaining weight. It is a challenge.

To The Moon

I was on Steam looking at the deals of the day and came across a game called To The Moon. Here's the description: "Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all the way from the very beginning... but only in their patients' heads. Due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath."

I don't know about you but I think this sounds like an awesome premise for a movie. It sounds a little like a mix between Benjamin Button and Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. I'm sure we've all wished we could do one thing differently in the past. Here's a trailer:

Exclusive Diablo III 1.05 patch video!

I don't know about you, but this looks like a big improvement over the initial release of D3.

Borderlands 2 Live Action commercial

So I'm sitting around watching all the football games today and I notice a trailer. The setting seems very familiar, the characters do too. I think to myself that this is a Borderlands 2 commercial, but it's live action, not game play footage. Anyway, here's a shitty quality link (I'll update with a higher quality one when I come across it).

Streetlight Manifesto v. Victory Records

Interesting article from Billboard about Streetlight and the whole double album thing. Very fascinating battle between them and Victory records.

McBain

From the golden age of The Simpsons, apparently many of the McBain clips formed a complete narrative:

Follow Me Guys!

Scotty Doesn't Know.

What the H? Movies

How did this get made?

How did they actually go through with this?
