“When it comes to video games, cheating isn’t very glamorous and the stakes are, well, nonexistent. Cheating at video games is a harmless activity – especially if you’re playing games by yourself. Slipping an ace out of your cuff in the middle of a heated poker match is fun and all, but in a video game you bend time and space for your personal enjoyment – and bragging rights. Sadly, more often than not, video game designers don’t give much thought to their cheats. Clearly they’re too focused on the quality of the game to dwell on how to break it. There’s only a handful of cheats in our twenty-plus years of gaming experience that we remember with any clarity and fondness. Lucky for you, we collected a few of the most memorable.” w/ photos

“Just because science fiction has a low budget, doesn’t mean its alien creatures need to look silly or ho-hum. Here are ten aliens that were obviously done on a shoestring budget, but which absolutely knock your space boots off.” w/ photos + videos

“Whatever. Anyways, comic books have also seized upon the public’s current fascination with Juris Doctorates. Taking a cue from its media counterparts, comic book lawyers rarely deal with matters outside of criminal law (although the misadventures of Lex Luthor’s patent attorney would add some much needed variety), although not all of them practice law in a court room. Behold the 13 greatest comic book characters to ever use the Esq. suffix!” w/ photos

“Film makers can imagine it, and they’ve done so in a variety of ways. From goofy, to friendly, to downright bloodthirsty, they’ve created all sorts of dinosaur characters in movies that we know and love. And you know what? No one, as far as we know (if you discount the Nessie-sighters and some deep-sea divers) knows what dinosaurs were really like, so in effect, we can’t pass any sort of judgment on these representations. Read on to indulge your dinosaur love.” w/ photos

“For a time it seemed as if tech companies were the geese that not only laid golden eggs but also made those eggs into delicious omelets that could give people superpowers. Combining tech companies to breed even more successful geese can seem like a surefire winner. Alas, business is business, even on the internet, and the 21st century has seen some disastrous tech mergers, leaving feathers all over the place and egg on the CEOs’ faces.” w/ photos

“Today, Knights In Shining Armor and Captains Fantastic are out. Dark Knights and Captains Jack (of the Harkness and Sparrow variety) are in. In fact, it sometimes seems as though every second fictional character is a antihero who play by their own rules, and are more worried about getting the job done than doing what’s “right.” But you won’t find Han Solo, Wolverine or Batman on this list. We know they’ve got a heart of gold hidden beneath that tough exterior. This is a list for the guys who don’t just walk a fine line between hero and villain, they pretty much jump back and forth across it whenever they damn well feel like it.” w/ photos

“A number of child killings have been recorded throughout the years. These often have involved disturbing acts one can hardly imagine a child suffering through. These cases are becoming more controversial as the number of child killings increases every year. However, what happens if that innocent and vulnerable-looking child is the one responsible for the abduction and murders in your neighborhood? Would you believe the accusations made of someone so young? Could a child really commit such crimes? These are not your typical childish crimes of stealing toys from a friend, or bullying a schoolmate. This is the list for the top 10 young killers. There is a small amount of overlap from the list of evil children, for the sake of including people that really do deserve to be on this list.” w/ photos

“The American public elects its politicians to represent their best interest in the halls of government. Unfortunately, the best of ideas can be derailed by the dubious specter of corruption. While our government’s officials are entrusted with a duty to honorably serve, this is not always the case. Politicians are routinely caught with their hands (and other things) in the cookie jar. Sometimes, they just take the entire jar! Here are 10 of the most crooked politicians in American politics.” w/ photos

“America’s entrance into World War II back in 1941 triggered the golden age of pinups, pictures of smiling women in a range of clothing-challenged situations. The racy photos adorned lonely servicemen’s lockers, the walls of barracks, and even the sides of planes. For the first time in its history, the US military unofficially sanctioned this kind of art: pinup pictures, magazines and calendars were shipped and distributed among the troops, often at government expense, in order to ‘raise morale’ and remind the young men what they were fighting for. The heyday of the pinup was the 1940s and 50s, but pinup art is still around. To this day, pinup fans emulate the classic style in fashion, merchandise, photography, and even tattoos… Here are the top 10 famous pinups.” w/ photos
