Awesome cross stitch

I don't know anything about cross stitching and don't know anything about Pokemon. But I know great work and this is a great piece of work, created by a very talented lady simply called Linda.

And there's a YouTube film too...

Expendables - the video game

I'm not that much of a gamer. I simply don't have the time to sit down for a couple of hours and lose myself in them. If I do get a spare few moments I'm far more likely to sneak in a quick game of FIFA.

However, this really appealed to me.

It really made me laugh. It was created by DeviantARTist Vernon Villanueva and is an impressive collection of all your modern day gaming favourites.

I found it on Geeks Are Sexy, who are also running a caption competition for it. All you have to do is come up with a decent tagline for the 'game.' If you fancy giving it a go, click here.

Interesting piece of insight, tapping in to the trauma that can be childhood.

The invisible bike helmet

I really hope this works as well as it appears to because it's got the distinct whiff of genius about it.

Great Scott!!!

Check out these delicious posters for the Back To The Future series...

They look great individually but, as you've probably already guessed, were designed to work as set...

Great work, Phantom City Creative.

Paper Beatles

Flicking through Just Art, I came across this excellent piece of work by Thiago Krening, titled Paper Beatles. Thought I'd give it another home here.

Men throwing rocks with their wrong hand

Unfortunately, beautifully shot footage doesn't make you look any less of a twat.

This should be awful...

...but we're all still so high on Olympic Mania that it isn't. It's actually quite fun. It was a bloody good tournament wasn't it.

Dougal Wilson and Adam Buxton

A genius collaboration created to promote Adam Buxton's Bug. Well funny.

Can of pop?

Not sure why these exist, or why I find them cool.

Famous movie posters get a cartoon make-over

Piracy

A project by Mirco Pagano. Cool visuals.

Stupid, but made me laugh.

"I will never fall in love"

A beautiful little story created by Gerald Ko and Hong Yi.

The story is about how Boy meets Girl, and Boy falls in love but a way that's different from most relationships - everything that can go wrong goes wrong when he asks her out. The video starts with Boy meeting Girl for the first time in a cafe when she serves him a cup of tea. Being too shy to verbally ask her out, Boy writes little notes to her on tea bag labels instead. Girl agrees to go out but every date is unsuccessful - Boy spills drink onto her, topples popcorn in cinema over her, forgets to bring cash at dinner and slams the door into her face. Girl finally says no to Boy, who then decides to take a box of tea bags and write out his thoughts on each label before giving it to her. Girl - who from the start has a soft spot for him - thinks about their relationship and decides to use the tea bags to surprise Boy at the end by creating a portrait of him, showing Boy that she feels the same way about him too.
