“Getting around in games can be a hassle. Just like in real life, it’s nice to have a faster option so that you don’t always have to trudge through Mt. Moon one step at a time, fending off Zubats. Unlike real life, you don’t have to settle for a used ’96 Toyota Corolla. Here are the 10 greatest modes of transportation in videogame history.” w/ photos

“Role-playing games, be they Japanese or fun, are designed to present a captivating world for your characters to explore. Whether they be frozen fantasy landscapes, lush magic jungles, or neon space futures, good RPG worlds can make you want to leave your dreary 9-5s behind and fight an evil empire or encroaching alien menace. Unfortunately, that’s the only good part about living in a role-playing world. Everything else is terrible.” w/ photos

“Over the last century, golf has emerged as one of the biggest and most widely played sports in the world. The rise of golf, both in America and around the world, has brought fame and riches to many, many men, and today it could be argued that professional golf has never been more popular.

“Our solar system is made up of the Sun and its nine planets (eight really, since Pluto got the boot). The planets get so much attention that it’s easy to overlook the fact that there are a lot of other interesting things in our solar system — like moons. And a lot of them are just as interesting as the planets they orbit.” w/ photos

“In Greek mythology, Cassandra was the daughter of the King of Troy. She was so beautiful that the God Apollo granted her the gift of seeing the future, prophecy. When Cassandra spurned Apollo’s love, he put a curse on her – that no one would believe any of her predictions. Cassandra was thus an epic and tragic figure – granted a powerful ability, yet powerless to use it. Throughout history there have been many Cassandra-type figures, people who predicted the coming of terrible tragedies and disasters, but whose warnings were ignored. These people were not gods and were not using special powers of prophecy. They were people who had a deep understanding of the realities of a situation and tried to warn others. In each case, others failed to listen to their warnings, and tragedies that might have been averted were not. Here are ten examples of people who tried to warn others, but whose warnings went unheeded.” w/ photos

“We’ve all had a bad boss or two, one that makes us stay later than we want to, doesn’t pay us enough or makes us do demeaning things for her/him like take out their trash when it’s full. Bad bosses get a lot worse than that, though. From firing a woman who just donated a kidney to her boss, to a boss that made employees tattoo his birthday on their necks, to a boss who installed sniper towers and canons when workers asked for a raise, these are the worst, most horrible, bad bosses of all time.” w/ photos + videos

“Ever get Deja Vu when you’re listening to the radio? Kind of like you’ve heard the music somewhere before, but you can’t put your finger on it? Usually, that’s because you have heard the music before and the song you’re listening to is sampling it. ‘Sampling’ is when you take a piece of one song and use it in yours. It’s a legal thing, since the original artist gets money. Except sometimes, they don’t. That’s called ‘plagiarism’ and, apparently, it’s a no-no. Here are 10 songs you won’t believe were stolen from other songs.” w/ videos

“Fantasy camps have existed for sports lovers for decades — middle-aged guys can, for a price, play basketball or baseball alongside Hall of Famers and live out all of their jock fantasies that never came true. But there has never been an equivalent for the sci-fi geek or rabid movie lover. Why the hell can’t we pay to, say, experience a real zombie apocalypse, or become a spy? Well, it turns out you totally can. Start saving up so you can…” w/ photos
