We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

Extreme Unicycle

X-TREME unicycle!  Generally, you can add “extreme” to anything to make it sound more badass, but it helps to be able to back it up.  Rider Max Schulze makes the argument that people that ride bikes with two wheels are sissies.


Luchadore’s gone wild

Although wrestling may not be entirely real, it is hard to fake the amazing acrobatics of this determined Mexican luchadore. It may be fake, but it is still awesome.


Matrix Ping-Pong

An oldie, but a goodie. The Japanese are weird, and for once it works out in their favor. If you haven’t seen this video, you are in for a treat, and if you have, this one never gets old.


The Red Shirt Guy from Blizzcon

There are so many cruel, cruel jokes to make about this kid who went to Blizzard’s annual convention and proceeded to school the game makers on World of Warcraft history. It would be tacky and wrong of me to pick on him. So please feel free to insert your own jokes below in the comments! As a reward for frightening the makers of the game, the now legendary “red shirt kid” is a playable character in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion. Unfortunately when he heard the news, the kid exploded in nedgastic joy.


Tyler Kirk is insane

I don’t actually know who Tyler Kirk is, and after watching this video, I have no desire to meet him because he is most likely insane. Enjoy him now before he dies horribly.

Asus' ROG Ally is one of the best handheld gaming PCs you can buy, and now it's getting even better. Asus is updating the handheld with AMD's Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF). This is a driver-level feature that adds frame generation to the majority of DirectX 11 and 12 games, which should vastly improve performance.

We've seen AFMF in action on AMD graphics cards previously. The feature launched late last year for desktop and mobile AMD graphics cards, but the ROG Ally oddly didn't support the feature. Asus' handheld uses the Ryzen Z1 chipset, which includes both an AMD processor and graphics card, but it uses its own specialized driver. Because of that, it didn't receive AFMF support right away.

How to delete a Discord server on desktop and mobile

Have you had enough of Discord for a while? We get it. It can be a little exhausting to say the least, especially if you’re running a jam-packed server, filled with multimedia and messages. Fortunately, if you’re in the mood to take a break, it’s not too hard to delete your Discord server.

How to customize mouse gestures on Mac

Did you know that you can still pull off gestures and haptic tricks with a Mac computer, even without a touchscreen? Such feats are possible, just as long as you own an Apple Magic Mouse. Far more than a sleek-looking desk accessory, the Magic Mouse functions much like a MacBook trackpad. Taps, long presses, swipes, and pinches (among other actions) deliver a number of results, and you’ll be able to customize these commands, too.
