Cool Stuff You've Seen Outside of 40kOnline
« on: July 14, 2013, 01:34:56 PM »
The premise of this thread is simples: if you come across something that's cool, and you want to share it, feel free to post here, with a link (if it's on the web) or just write a post explaining what you want to share.

I'll go first:

I heard about it - and it's pretty excellent to see such a clear cut message.

Rap Battles of History are pretty great. I think my favorite is the Einstein-Hawking one - or the Beethoven-Bieber.

Tesla vs Edison vs. Tesly was also very well done. I actually had to visit a webside that explains references in songtexts to get them all.

Also here is something for all minecraft fans.

A compilation of awesome vines (short videos). Nevermind the thumbnail, it doesn't have anything to do with the clip.

Is that a good thing?  ;D

Some nice clips there, but for me the "I'm going to make this change to black" card trick was the best.

The most expensive computer game pack ever?

How about the cheapest?

The Humble Bundle is actually pretty cool.  If you donate more than $1, you get the keys for 6 games, most of which are on steam, but the odd one is only available on origin.  If you donate more than the average (currently around $4.50), they add in two more games.

The bundle for right now is:
  • Dead Space
  • Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
  • Crysis 2
  • Dead Space 3 (origin only)
  • Mirror's Edge
  • Medal of Honour
  • Battlefield 3 (donate the average)
  • Sims 3 + expansions (donate the average)
The idea is that because you are donating to charity, ideally you will donate more for it to be worth while.  But if you are a cheap gamer, you can get 6 games for $1, 8 games for $5, and the total package of all 8 is priced around $215.
If there is anything that recent politics has taught us, it is that quotes taken out of context can mean what ever you want them to.
Well I always liked the globals...
I knew I had fans!!!

Humble Bundle also does a yearly ebook selection using the same method. You get to pick up some excellent material for every cheap even when over bidding to help the charities.
