I don’t normally watch bike videos and I almost turned this one off midway through, but the bike skills in this video are just shockingly good. Thanks to the Best of YouTube podcast (subscribe here)for highlighting this video.

After watching the latest Mahalo Daily, I decided to check out the live action show, The Guild. It’s pretty funny, in a creepy sort of way. It makes fun of online gaming, especially MMORPGs. I’m addicted.

You can also get it though iTunes here or get it directly here.

Thanks to WatchTheGuild for the above pic.

Ever since the end of 2006, College Humor has been releasing a series of videos that is a combination video game homage and spoof called Street Fighter: The Later Years. This series far exceeds Street Fighter: The Movie, which starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia and Ming-Na.

For anyone who grew up during the 1980’s, the Street Fighter video game series, especially Street Fighter II, was THE epic game while growing up, bringing nonsense phrases like “root-raww, root-raww, root-raww” into our consciousnesses.

The original versions of Episodes one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine are all available here. Thanks CHTV for bringing these videos to my lazy self via free iTunes podcast.

It has been a long time since basketball has really thrilled me… probably not since the Patrick Ewing/Michael Jordan era of the 1990’s, but I saw this story on CNN’s podcast In Case You Missed It and had to bring light to it. This high school student, Porter Ellett, is STARTING for his school’s basketball team even though he only has one arm and he looks like one of, if not their best player on the team.

It’s pretty cool to see and very impressive.

I think Guitar Hero is fun, I’ve played it, but I’d rather not play the game, since you don’t actually learn to play the guitar. After watching the latest episode of dl.tv I found out about the upcoming game Guitar Rising, where you will be able to plug in a REAL guitar into a computer’s microphone port and see different frets onscreen and you can learn to play the guitar while you play the game.

I can’t wait until this game comes out… I may even buy a guitar if the game is as good as it looks.

Remeber the game Doom? I used to spend HOURS with this game, but I completely forgot just how powerful some of the weapons in the game were. At the risk of being Rick Rolled, check out the great video below, it’s only 31 seconds and it’s hilarious!

Thanks to The Digg Reel, their latest episode pointed out just how popular this video has become, which was originally posted here on College Humor.

Listening to the most recent episode of Macbreak Weekly revealed a great program for crossword puzzle lovers, it’s called Black Ink. It allows you to download the free crossword puzzles available all over the net (such as those from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal), if you don’t like solving them on your computer, you can even print them out!

The program has a free 30 day trial and costs $24.95… the only downside is that it’s a Mac only product, it requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, so I can’t really use it myself, but that doesn’t mean I can’t spread the word.

For all you non-Mac users (myself included), as well as those Mac users who don’t want to ultimately pay $25, check out the American Crossword Tournament page, they have links to a good deal of free online crosswords.

Enjoy
