BAIL-OUT: Picture a hole where the approach to the green is across water. Better players might play straight at the green, flying the hazard. But a weaker player probably won’t be able to pull off the shot. So the course designer builds into the hole an extension of the fairway short of the green, to the side of the water hazard, so that weaker players have a safer shot to attempt. That’s a bail-out.

Inspired by the Nintendo Famicom and the entire 8-bit generation, Eric Nakamura, publisher of Giant Robot Magazine, co-designed this Toyota Scion with Len Higa from Onimotorworks.

There’s a NES cart for a key, an arcade button for a starter and a projector in the headlights, allowing users to play games with the vehicle itself.

Worth it just for the Super Mario Bros sound effects on the door handles.

Steve Jobs: Vertically Integrated

Pyromania, a Def Leppard cover band based in Dallas, Texas, is currently looking for a new drummer with only one arm, just like actual Leppard drummer Rick Allen.  Pyromania’s official website claims that they are the only tribute band that can simulate the Def Leppard live experience with “true accuracy”

No shit.
