'Final Fantasy VII' Remake Probably Won't Happen [VIDEOS]

I haven’t shared any video game news lately, so why not start up again? Unfortunately, this isn’t very good news. If you were to ask what the best role-playing video game of all time is, many MANY people would respond with Final Fantasy VII for the original PlayStation. It’s just terrific. I don’t have time to go into all the things that make it great; but just trust me, it is. [...]

Jerk Driver Wrecks Lamborghini – Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

Whenever a jerk in a sports car cuts me off in traffic, or speeds past me going 40mph over the speed limit, the only thing that keeps me in check is the hope that someday, either the police or the drivers’ own stupidity will catch up with them. I’m happy to say that’s exactly what happens in this video, when Mr. Lamborghini-Driver thinks he can put the pedal to the [...]

Misophonia: 'Hatred of Sound' – Daily Dose of Weird [VIDEOS]

Nails on a chalkboard. The mere thought of this sound makes me cringe, and I know I’m not the only one. But did you know that some people can be sent into a rage or made sick by some sounds? It’s called misophonia; and as people like Emma Riehl know, it can be quite debilitating. video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or [...]

Little Boy Scared by Robot Dinosaur: Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

Remember being that age when you just trusted what you saw with your eyes? Back before the days of logic and knowledge seeping into your brain and mucking everything up? Well the kid in this video is still at that point in life. Watch what happens when he sees a life-sized robotic dinosaur for the first time. The cuteness and innocence are palatable.

Should 'All You Can Eat' Restaurants Be Allowed to Cut People Off? Daily Dose of Weird [VIDEOS][POLL]

I worked in retail for over three years. While it’s not quite the same as food service, I did learn one truth that applies to both industries: Whenever a business runs a special promotion, at least one person will take extreme advantage of it and ruin it for everyone else. That definitely seems to be the case in Wisconsin, where a man started picketing a local restaurant after they cut [...]

Real Starship Enterprise Just 20 Years Away? Stuff That's Cool [VIDEOS]

If you know me, you also know I’m a Star Trek fan. I don’t think I’m quite as hard core a fan as some folks, but I did go to the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas a few times before they tore it out. So I’m enough of a fan to think that building a real, working USS Enterprise starship is a fantastic idea. One engineer has that dream, [...]

'The Campaign:' Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

One of my favorite things about election years is the comedy that comes out of them. It looks like this year will be no exception. From the trailer for The Campaign, it seems like Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell plan on lampooning both sides of the political fence in one movie. Let the hilarity ensue!

Blind Waiters Serve Dinner in the Dark: Daily Dose of Weird [VIDEO]

When I sit down for a meal, I definitely take into account how my food looks; but apparently, the sense of sight is less necessary for a good dining experience than I thought. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard about “dining in the dark” before, but this particular instance caught my eye because the servers are blind! Check it out! I’ll admit, I’m intrigued. Would you ever try dining in the [...]

'Vinyl Throw:' Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

If you have a ton of old vinyl records just lying around, they could be your key to a day of fun!

The results are pretty awesome. Richardson and his pals Reef Coleman, Tony Jien, [...]

Egyptian Waiter Declared Dead, Wakes Up at Funeral: Daily Dose of Weird

Here’s a little proof that the next time someone you know is declared dead, you might want to get a second opinion. Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, a 28-year-old waiter from the southern Egyptian province of Luxor, suffered a heart attack. Hospital officials declared him dead. His family took him home to prepare him for burial, as is the Islamic tradition. A doctor sent to sign the death certificate found it strange [...]

'Gangster Squad' Trailer: Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

How long has it been since we’ve had a really good gangster movie? TOO long! Well it’s obvious from the trailer that Gangster Squad could be the best gangster movie since Road to Perdition.

Man Completes Triathlon While Juggling: Daily Dose of Weird (and Awesome!) [VIDEO]

Just because something is weird doesn’t mean it isn’t also amazing. For instance, I never would have thought of combining activities like running (let alone biking and swimming) with something like juggling. According to The Huffington Post, 31-year-old Joe Salter completed a triathlon on April 21st while juggling the whole time. Yes, he even juggled while swimming! Salter swam the required quarter-mile while juggling three balls, juggled two balls in one hand while [...]

This weekend, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton add to their list of collaborations with an adaptation of an old cult classic TV show.

Man Arrested for Federal Crimes Committed by Twin: Daily Dose of Weird

I always thought it would be cool to have a twin brother. Having someone to be completely interchangeable with could definitely make for some entertaining antics. But having an identical “partner in crime” gets a lot less fun when there’s actual crime involved! Mitch Torbett spent two days in jail for a federal crime that his deceased twin brother committed, according to The Huffington Post. The double trouble started when Torbett applied for [...]

'Avengers 2′ Confirmed (Duh): Stuff That's Cool

In news that you probably knew as soon as you heard Marvel’s The Avengers was breaking all-time box office records, a sequel has officially been green-lit! Marvel Studios plans on finishing up other projects first, but Disney (which owns Marvel nowadays) says an Avengers sequel is definitely in the works. …(Disney CEO Bob) Iger said a third Iron Man and a second Thor are scheduled for 2013 and a sequel to “Captain [...]

'Don't Stop Believing' Sung by Movies: Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

I can’t imagine how much time it must have taken to find all the right words to this song, and then edit them together in the right order. Check it out!

Dancing with an Excavator: Daily Dose of Weird [VIDEO]

Of all the things to do with heavy machinery, this never came to my mind. Rather than traditional human partners, this French performer prefers to dance with earth-movers. According to the video, he has performed this way over 300 times in 40 countries. So…that’s a thing. Enjoy the video, then… CLICK HERE for more “Doses of Weird!”

'Official Spoiler Rules:' Drew's [VIDEO] of the Day

There’s nothing worse than being so excited to watch a movie or TV show (or even read a book), only to have major plot points spoiled by so-called “friends” that have already seen it. Luckily, the stars of some of your favorite shows have come together to provide some spoiler etiquette. Now, hopefully, we can move one step closer to a spoiler-free world.

San Diego 'Justice League:' Daily Dose of Weird [VIDEO]

The headline to this one pretty much says it all: Vigilante crime fighters are patrolling the streets of San Diego. So…awesome? (read more after the jump) Public menace, you say? That’s exactly what they said about Batman! But seriously, do you think it’s cool that regular citizens want to clean up their streets; or should they leave crime-fighting to the professionals? Let me know in the comments below, and I’ll [...]
