I just saw the title of this video and knew I needed to share it with the Sexy Geeks, so here you go. It is all “Amuricaaaaaaaa” and stuff, so it fits in with the theme of freedom and July 4th weekend or something.
Editor’s note: I was supposed to publish this on the fourth and I totally forgot. Sorry geeks! :)

I would find making a list like this impossible. The top five N.E.S games of all time? How do you even decide? Well, thankfully, someone else did for me.

Thanks to my Power Up Box subscription, I have a few Funko Pop figures, but I have to say that this TARDIS edition is the most beautiful one I’ve seen up to now… even though I might be a little biased since Doctor Who is probably my favorite show of all time!
A fantastic coplay music video from the guys at Nerd Reactors that will get you in the mood for dancing!
Nerd Reactor heads to San Diego Comic-Con 2015 and does a cosplay lip sync dancing video to The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face.”
Edit: And here’s another one from our pals over at Aggressive Comix!
Pulling one end of a chain of beads from a beaker and letting it fall down on the floor creates a fascinating gravity-defying phenomenon called a “chain fountain” where the chain mysteriously rises by several inches before going down. But why is it doing that? James Gorman of the New York Times explains:
When you pick up one end of a rod, two things happen. One end goes up, and the other end goes down, or tries to. But if the downward force is stopped by the pile of chain beneath it, there is a kind of kickback, and the rod, or link, is pushed upward. That is what makes the chain rise.

A modular phone that can be upgraded and replaced piece-by-piece is now available for pre-order. The Fairphone 2 is designed to have an extended life as part of an overall enivronmentally-friendly philosophy by the makers.
The original concept of the phone was designed to be “socially conscious” and deal with the problem that some of the key metals and other elements needed to create phones are mainly or solely mined in areas with questionable human rights records.
Fairphone’s emphasis with the original handset was reducing the use of “conflict” components and setting up welfare funds which are controlled by the workers who mine the materials. It says it’s also working to make its supply chain more transparent and carry out inspections of suppliers.
For its second handset it developed the environmental theme further by trying to make as many of the components as easily replaceable as possible. While it’s not quite as straightforward a design as some rival modular handsets (which have yet to get past the concept stage), many parts of the Fairphone 2 can be replaced with nothing more than a screwdriver and a careful hand. The back cover includes a diagram showing which part is which.
Despite the format, it appears to be a perfectly serviceable high-end handset, running Android 5.1 and boasting a five-inch screen, quad-core processor and 4G LTE support.
The company is also exploring the idea of shipping the phones without a case to reduce shipping costs and the need to maintain stock. The customer would then pick up a case from a local 3D printing firm working in partnership with Fairphone. Alternatively, those customers with access to a 3D printer could get the design file without charge.
The phone is scheduled for shipping in November and costs €525. Initially it will only be available in Europe, with no firm timetable on a worldwide rollout.
Here’s a cool video showing early exploration outside of Vault 111 – including introductions to characters like Codsworth, Preston Garvey, and Dogmeat. Additionally, see V.A.T.S. gameplay in action, how Power Armor changes your experience, and much more.

He might be one of the world’s most talented wizard, but he totally sucks at being a receptionist. Hey I didn’t say it, the guy at the end of the video did!
A few weeks ago, Daniel Radcliffe stopped by the NYLON offices and sat at the front desk, unbeknownst to staffers and office visitors.
