QWOP, arguably the most difficult video game ever, was foisted upon us by Bennett Foddy in 2008. The point of the game is to control a sprinter with four keys that move his thigh and calf muscles. A few seconds in, and you’re reduced to trying to control your laughter. Most of us gave up pretty early and decided the value in the game was purely comedy. However, in the years since, some gamers took QWOP as a challenge, and became fairly good at getting the runner through a 100-meter dash. The QWOP record as of now is 48 seconds! Could an algorithm trained to play QWOP do any better? Wesley Liao trained one to find out. While his AI learned to make the QWOP runner perform better than I ever will, it could not outdo the best human gamers. Read more on the experiment at Gizmodo.
As some of you suggested “Muse – Hysteria” is a perfect song for BASS MONTH. I remember times when this song was really popular and there was a whole cult around this bass line. Some people were like “You are a good bass player only if you can play this bass line!”. Funny thing is, that when I started playing it on the Stylophone, it took me 20 minutes to learn and master. So maybe for those people I’m really something, lol.
Oh, the guitar solo part has a cool effect on it. As I far as I can tell Matt used a stereo digital delay with a Digitech Whammy (Octave up) on top of it. That’s why the solo sounds like there are 5 guitars playing at the same time. Cool trick! I did it the same way.

Artist Iris Lee from FunancyDesign makes some of the most stunning movie prop replicas I have ever seen, and this Thor Stormbreaker axe is no exception to this. Her replicas are quite expensive, but they’re all handmade, and judging by the photos, they look nearly perfect.
The Picnic Time Original Death Star Circo Cheese Board, a split-level cutting board made from sustainable rubber wood with a swivel-design that opens to reveal four brushed stainless steel cheese tools below, including: crumbly cheese cleaver, cheese planer for semi-hard to hard cheese slices, fork-tipped cheese knife, and hard cheese knife/spreader. A recessed juice groove around the perimeter catches cheese brine or juice from cut fruit, allowing for seamless and tidy serving. This unique and compact cheese board set features a detailed engraved Death Star graphic on the top of the cutting board, which will surely be a conversation piece at your next dinner party. What an amazing gift for the Star Wars enthusiast!
