Deadpool Hilariosly Mocks Marvel’s #ThanosDemandsYourSilence Campaign

Today, Ryan Reynolds sent out a plea to Deadpool fans asking them not to spoil anything about the movie once they see it. Naturally, he had a bit of fun with his online letter, poking fun at Marvel’s #ThanosDemandsYourSilence campaign with a hashtag of his own: #WadeWilsonDemandsYourSisterSorryStupidAutoCorrectSilence.

Here’s the full letter:

The transcript:

To the greaterest fans n the whole universe.

We have embarked on the “Deadpool 2: This is Kind of Your Guys’ Fault” World Tour. Almost everyone involved in the film has given Maximum Effort the past two years, maintaining the highest level of super secrets, like how David Blaine catches bullets in his mouth. And the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices in Colonel Sanders’ delicious moustache.

Only a handful of people know the film’s true plot. One of them is not Ryan Reynolds. We’re asking that whn you see Deadpool 2, you don’t say a f*cking word about the fun sh*t in the movie. Cause it’d be super lame to spoil the fact that Deadpool dies in this one. Kidding. Not kidding. Kidding?

Godspeed.

Gravity Warfare: An Innovative Dexterity and Strategy Game Played on a Self-Balancing Board


Gravity Warfare is an innovative dexterity & strategy game that is played on a self-balancing board. The goal is simple: Be the first one to run out of pieces to play. But the game is not as easy as it sounds.

Here’s a review of the game:

It looks REALLY FUN!

As I’m writing this, Gravity Warfare has already raised over $43,000 on an initial funding goal of $20,000. If you’re interested in getting the game, there’s seven pledge levels, from the standard package featuring the complete first edition of Gravity Warfare, up to one where you can buy 3 games for you and your friends and reduce the cost of the each game.

Rubik Solve Record Broken Again

The world speed record for solving the Rubik’s cube has fallen again – but humans may remain slower than robots.

Feliks Zemdegs solved a standard 3x3x3 cube in 4.22 seconds, beating his own record of 4.59 seconds. The rules that he followed meant he was given a randomized cube and allowed to examine (but not manipulate it). He then had to completely let go of the cube and press two buttons (one with each hand) on the table simultaneously before releasing them to start the clock ticking. After completing the cube he had to hit both buttons to stop it.

While there’s an element of luck in getting a favorable cube starting position, that’s not a valid criticism of Zemdegs: he also holds the record for the fastest time over five consecutive solves at 5.8 seconds.

22-year-old Zemdegs has previously said he’s no genius. Instead he says that after learning basic techniques, his ability requires a combination of pattern recognition, spatial awareness and finger dexterity, all combined with intense practice.

Man is still arguably lagging behind machine however. Back in March a robot solved a cube in just 0.38 seconds. It’s a slightly unfair comparison as the robot started the clock with it’s “hands” (actually six arms) already on the cube. However, it did complete the solve with 20 rotations compared with the 38 Zemdegs took for this week’s record.
