“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The real “no can defend” kick

How do you cartwheel through someone’s face bones while making it look as elegant and yet terrifying as possible? Pretty much like these guys do it: It is hard to think of something that is such a splendid combination of badassery, buttock-clenching terror, and...

Explaining the Porsche 911 range

With boobs and bikinis: And that, gentlemen, is why Top Gear is the greatest TV series OF. ALL. TIME. There is NO discussion on this subject. Not now, not ever. You’re welcome. Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in...

Trinity

What happens when you take the three greatest singers in the history of heavy metal, get them all standing on the same stage, and singing a brutal three-minute blowout? Well… this: Hear that? It was the sound of your brain assploding from the sheer...

How not to get punched

Bob, duck, weave, and slip. That’s pretty much it. Oh, and- most important of all- KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. It’s actually not quite as easy as I make it sound- or he makes it look in that video. If you’ll notice, he uses his hands a great deal to slap or...

Badassery and bullshido

All in the same post! First, this is what a truly badass martial art looks like- and for once I’m not talking about either MMA or Krav Maga: No question about it- traditional karate, of the kyokushin or shotokan styles, is seriously lethal. As you...

Other bands play- MANOWAR KILLS!

I love MANOWAR. They’re the stupidest, cheesiest, most over-the-top band on Earth (well… short of RHAPSODY OF FIRE, or whatever those guys are called these days), but they’re still awesome, no matter what: Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window)...

Bar fighting with El Guapo

God bless Bas Rutten: This is actually a heavily condensed and edited version of Bas Rutten’s original street fighting instructional DVD. Looking at it from the perspective of someone who does a street-geared martial art, I can tell you this- everything...

Now he’s just showing off…

If ever we needed evidence as to why Roger Federer is such a joy to watch on the tennis court: The thing is, the ball on which he hit that ridiculously awesome ‘tweener was actually out. And he still tracked it down, whacked it between the legs, and managed...

Drummer joke

A rock drummer and avid RUSH fan (that’s kind of redundant, by the way) dies and goes to Heaven. He is met at the gates by St. Peter, who proceeds to show him around the place. It’s all very nice and enjoyable, but then the drummer hears something that he...

Thoughts (and pictures) from a small rocky country

The first thing that strikes you about Israel when you get off the plane is how green everything is. Taking the bus from Ben Gurion Airport to the place where we were staying, I vividly remember staring out the window in stunned fascination at the...
