Mhykol Mines – This series gives you the basic walkthrough of somebody playing through Minecraft and covering all the basics. Mhykol does a great job at putting together videos that follow him through building up various traps, bases and other things through the game of Minecraft and keeps things interesting enough that you want to see what might come up next in his mining adventures.

Etho’s Lab – If you are more of an inventor, rather than an explorer – you might like the videos Etho has put together.  From building simple dark room traps to loot the booty from the various mobs in the game to creating complicated devices to make you time in Minecraft easier – Etho does a fantastic job at creating elaborate devices in Minecraft.  After watching a few videos you literally can’t wait to see what kind of wacky devices he will come up with next.

Coe’s Quest – Now I have touched upon Coe’s Quest before in an earlier post and everything I said back then still applies. Like Mhykol’s videos, Coe does a great job at taking you through an interesting task or adventure in every video.  If anybody was going to ask me for a basic tutorial or guide to getting started in Minecraft, I would definitely send them to Coe’s Quest.

The Yogscast – The Yogscast is far different from other Minecraft videos out there.  Taking a more entertaining route, Simon and Lewis go through various "adventure" maps that people have created and also take a look at a lot of the various mods out there for Minecraft.  The videos are always have the right balance of comedy mixed with adventure.

So there you have it. These are the four best Minecraft series I have found on YouTube as of late.  Let me know what you think or if you have found any other Minecraft series worth checking out yourself.

I grew up watching the Price is Right every single morning, back before I started kindergarten and every summer morning too.  It was a fun part of the morning growing up, before the days of the Internet.  Now, while anything that Bob Barker does is almost instantly awesome, it was always fun to see when things went a little wrong.  Here are three of my favorite Price is Right mishaps.

Shell Game Cheater

How are you going to try to cheat Bob Barker?  She tries to make up for it after the fact.

Flip Flop Cheater

This guy wants that digital piano just a little too much.  After getting the rules explained to him, the guy still tries to cheat – or maybe he was just nervous.

Punch Him Bob!

You just don’t cross Bob Barker.  You are up there, you get to play, you get to stand next to Bob then you tell him, you don’ need those things your bidding on?  You sir are a jerk.

Hope you enjoyed this little mini collection of Price is Right oddities.  If you know of any others, leave them in the comments!

Who doesn’t love a little traffic humor?  I’ve done my best to search the Web for some of my favorite traffic signs out there.  Some are real, some are questionable, and well – they are all something that would make you do a double take if you saw them on your way to work.

Are we watching out for falling cars, or crazy people in the streets?

Keep your hands on your brains at all times.

Well, which one is it?

You know they’re right…

Stopping with The Supremes?

… and finally, my favorite sign, warning you about the cautions of the sign.

Hope you enjoyed, and if you know of any other funny traffics signs you know or love, leave them in the comments.  Would love to check them out!

Television commercials just haven’t been the same since Billy Mays passed away, right?  I think so.  If you feel like your missing Billy Mays enough to seek out his best lines from the Internet, I have a resource you should not do without.

InstantBillyMays.com is yet another favorite sound effect web site of mine.  Push the button, and you can hear the infomercial king at his best.  If nothing else, it does server as a good way to make people in the office think you’ve officially lost it.

But wait, there’s more! If you act now, I’ll toss in six and a half other sound effect sites, absolutely free!

Having some free time on my hands over the holiday weekend, I decided to clean the finger smudges, dirt and grime from my Wii remotes.  To make sure I didn’t screw anything up, I figured it would be a good idea to check Nintendo’s web site for some pointers.  The advice was good, but one thing really stuck out.

Here is how Nintendo says you should clean your Wiimote:

Try cleaning the buttons of the Wii Remote using the cleaning instructions below, being sure to follow the directions carefully.

What you will need:

• 1 clean toothbrush (no toothpaste on it)
• 1 cup of warm tap water
• 1 paper towel

Instructions:

1. Remove the batteries from the Wii Remote.
2. Get a clean toothbrush (no toothpaste) and a cup of warm tap water (not too hot). Do NOT pour or submerge the Wii Remote in any type of liquid.
3. Slightly dip the toothbrush in the water (the toothbrush should not be dripping wet) and scrub the area of the Wii Remote around the buttons.
4. Work the bristles down around the sides of the buttons.
5. After cleaning the Wii Remote, dry it off with a paper towel.
6. Let the Wii Remote air dry with the buttons facing down for at least a couple of hours.
7. Test the Wii Remote for proper response.
8. Repeat the steps if necessary.

Wait a minute, do they have to really point out the fact you should not use toothpaste to clean your Wii Remote? Not only do they do this once, oh no – they think it is important enough to bring up twice.  I will testify to the fact that the cleaning steps mentioned do work – however find it really funny somebody might try to brush their Wiimote as they would brush their teeth.

Well, you could spend a lot of money for a program like Photoshop, take hours learning how to create custom banners, fonts and designs, or you could just go to magcover.com.  I’ll let you pick how you would like to spend your Christmas week.

How does it work? With this web site, you can easily create your own unique magazine cover.  All you do is pick your photo, edit your headlines and you are ready to go.  There are over 100 magazine templates to choose from – so the only thing limiting you is your imagination.

You can also get your custom magazine covers printed, framed or put on a shirt.  Might be too late to create one for Christmas this year – but might come in handy for your egotistical friend’s birthday.  To create your own magazine cover, go visit magcover.com.

My question to you all is, did it really happen or is this some Internet hoax?

This generator is based on the famous classic Batman and Robin comic scene where for some odd reason, Robin asks Batman what he’s getting his parents for Christmas… or is it?

Here is the “Internet” famous comic panel:

Now here is what was really said:

So Robin is not really such a jerk after all. Batman is overly obsessed with getting Superman, because he believes Superboy (and in turn Superman) was responsible for his father’s death. Check out the rest of the story behind the epic slap over at CBR.

Now that you know the rest of the story, head over to BatmanComic.info to create your own “Batman slaps Robin” fill-in-the-quotes comic panel.

The slate blue color makes it ideal for use in nuclear tape facilities and it is certified for low leachable halogens and sulfur. It also provides sunlight and UV resistance for up to one year without the backing deteriorating or delaminating. This product is especially ideal for applications in the shipbuilding, nuclear power plant and stainless steel industries.

So with that said, they do also have user reviews for the item too.  here are some of my favorites:

When we found cracks in the containment structure, we used to have to shut the whole plant down; then there was a lot of hassle with the nuclear regulatory agency about structural integrity and environmental contamination. With this quality duct tape, that’s all in the past. Now, when we see a cracked or crumbling wall, we just bring out the tape. The slate blue blends right in. I do recommend that you use use double layers for openings near the reactor core.

Is the world coming to an end?

As capitalism collapses around us and society falters, I began to get anxious about what supplies I should have on hand now that the turnips are planted. I was guided towards the 3M Nuclear Duct Tape, bound to be useful when the reactors start melting down, and then saw Amazon’s superb “What Did Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item” list. I was thunderstruck! Of course! In the end times, I’m going to need an electric toothbrush, a Rubik’s cube, and a Swiss Army knife! Not sure the Midnite Minichamp is the one I’d go for, though, it doesn’t have a toothpick, and dental hygiene will be critical in the coming collapse. Maybe I’ll get my Nuclear Duct Tape in red to match the knife, it always pays to look well put-together.

Stay away from this guy!

After a long night of beer and hot wings, I decided to overnight this tape to my house, as I knew what was going to happen.  After the epic birthing of a giant brown monster, I used 3M’s performance plus nuclear tape to seal around the bathroom’s door into the bedroom. To my surprise, my wife and children never did smell what I had to endure.  After 5 months, 29 days, I removed the tape, and I was happy to find no sticky residue left on the door frame.

A tape for every political party, after the end of days of course…

If you’re a nuclear technician and a Democrat, there’s no better high-performance duct tape for your facility than the SLATE BLUE nuclear duct tape.

Maybe not so good for a BBQ?

As I do most Sundays, I was working in the back yard on the grill. Because the dude next door is an Al Qaeda operative and he doesn’t lock his shed, I figured, hey, what the hell, let’s beef up the grill with some bomb grade plutonium. Because I didn’t have anything handy to hold it in place, I stuck it down with this 3M nuclear duct tape. After all, I don’t want my burgers exposed directly to radiation! That seemed like a good idea at the time, but when I threw a steak on the grill, not only was the steak cooked way too quickly, but the gamma rays jumped right through the tape and caused the steak to start glowing. It also tasted funny, so I can’t say I recommend this product at all!

Last but not least, a heart-warming summary of the king of all duct tape…

The tape works. It protected the house from certain doom and its occupants. Don’t tape your whole house if you don’t have time. It might be better to just tape yourself and your loved ones from head to toe.
