Lego in Real Life


This guy makes stop motion videos of himself cooking things, only the food turns into Lego bricks as soon as a kitchen tool touches it. He clearly puts a lot of effort into these.

Is Spock responsible for Wolf 359?


The argument runs thusly: Spock's efforts at peace, especially with the Klingons, led to a Starfleet that was "not a military organization" and was thus unprepared for the Borg.



An interesting argument, but I don't buy it for a second. The more interesting argument is the counter-argument. If Starfleet had stayed militaristic would they have made it out to the Farpoint area, and thus stayed off the Q's radar? No Q means no Borg (forget the Raven and Seven's parents, that whole plot point was ludicrous from the get-go), at least for several more decades.

Someone turns a bunch of brass keys into a "gold bar".


While it's nice to see tools in operation that I don't get to see very often, I must admit that I'm too afraid of injury to be around stuff that hot.

Nostalgia Critic covers Atlantis The Lost Empire.


This movie is still a guilty pleasure for me. I freely admit that the creators tried to cram WAY too much into this movie and it backfired on them. In retrospect this should've been a longer epic like Ten Commandments or the other roadshow films.



As for the aborted show that turned into Milo's Return, it never would've worked. There's only so many ways that you can say "this culture is based on ancient Atlantean tech" in the early 20th century. And introducing other sources of magictech just raises further questions.

Someone made a Star Trek themed Sudoku


Of course it's hard to approximate the shape of a Cochrane delta when you're limited to 45 degree increments for slopes.


The puzzle was made because today would've been Gene's 100th birthday.

LGR does reviews of old and unusual computer equipment, among other things.


A monitor that fits into a 5.25" drive bay tower.


It's meant for server towers and other places where you don't need a full-size monitor.
