Nick’s Friday Round-Up
Let's start off this week with a some awesomazingness. Such as a man who plans to make a full-scale Millennium Falcon, including the interior. [geekologie]
MOAR creepy robots! DARPA is at it AGAIN with a humanoid robot that can traverse crazy obstacles. [geekologie]
Science fiction is slowly becoming science fact. Those crazy scientists have once again laughed in the face of physics, or whatever, and created a real life tractor beam. [geekosystem]
Once again, someone has come along and ruined our childhood. Severely creepy humanized versions of our favorite cereal mascots. [geekologie]
To make up for that last link, here's a Disney themed Voltron. [geekologie]
When you popped in your NES cartridge, and the game didn't work, what was the first thing you did? You popped it back out and blew on it. Well let's look at this, scientifically, to see if blowing on the cartridge really had any effect. [mentalfloss]

One of my favorite shows, growing up, was Are You Afraid of the Dark. SNICK was my favorite time-block of the entire week. Forget Rugrats, it was all about AYAOTD and Ren & Stimpy, but that's off topic. Here are 50 of the most terrifying characters from Are You Afraid of the Dark. I apologize if I bring back your nightmares. (no I don't) []
Most of the time we associate lighting your house and having it go along to music, with Christmas. Well a few people have extended this tradition into halloween. [geekologie]

For those of you living under a rock, there was this one thing that happened with a dude skydiving from 24 miles up. For those who missed it, here's a recreation of the event with LEGO'S. [geekologie]

Tired of always burning the crap out of your mouth because you're too impatient to wait for your pizza to cool off before you take a bite? Well now, feel free to bite into your scalding hot pizza without fear. You can pop a "breath strip" that heals the burns from eating hot foods. [geekologie]
A real working Portal gun? Sadly, no. But a modded one that can levitate a companion cube exists! [howtogeek]

Why is World of Warcraft the biggest MMO in the world? You'd think people would get bored of it and quit, but that doesn't seem to happen. Here are 6 reasons why it's impossible to quit WoW. [cracked]
Valve received a very special gift from the WETA workshop. Nothing too crazy or anything, just a fully functioning Portal turret, that's all. [geekosystem]
What do you do when you wake up in the morning (now the Saved by the Bell theme song is stuck in your head) and you want to know the weather for the day, but can't bring yourself to get in the internet before you've had your coffee and toast? You purchase a toaster that burns the days weather into the side of the toast for you, that's what. [geekologie]
For those of us who've always wanted to shoot that stupid dog, from Duck Hunt, in the face for laughing at us, well now you can, with this NES zapper that's been modded into a real burning laser. [geekosystem]
Now let's jump from an amazing weapon to the 15 worst weapons in videogame history. [dorkly]
We move on to the most annoying weapon ever created in any videogame ever, on any planet, in any dimension. The Hyperion Energizing Bane from Borderlands 2. It may be one of the most powerful guns ever, but can you handle the troll factor that it throws at you for using it? [geekosystem]
There have been many people who have said that Borderlands 2 is way too difficult. Well hey, guess what. URDOINITWRONG! [gammasquad]

In some, "Really... are you seriously, freakin' kidding me?" news, "cowabunga" is being replaced with "booyakasha". Guys, you can't make this stuff up. [blastr]
And finally, here's an SUV driving down the road that gets struck by a bolt of lightning. "What did you say?" "A bolt of lightning. Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever gonna strike." Seriously though, what are the chances that a guy is going to be recording himself driving down the road and happens to capture a bolt of lightning hitting a vehicle. The odds are ridiculous. []
