So last year I wrote a story about the World Series of Beer Pong (WSOBP) and the guys who won it from team Smashing Time. I wanted someone to put me in contact with Ron or Pop as they won last year and I though they were amazing. And since the WG blog gets great numbers and people from all over the world read it, someone informed Ron and he got in contact with me.

Next thing you know www.worldgaming.com is the official sponsor or Smashing Time and we’re proud to have them rep up at the WSOBP a few weeks ago in Las vegas as they looked to defend their crown. I always knew these guys were winners and they proved me right again as team Smashing Time won the 2010 World Series of Beer Pong for the second straight year and became the first team ever to win the title back-to-back!!!

We’re so proud of you both and happy to have you as part of the WorldGaming team! I also can’t wait to hang out soon so we can play, I can get my ass kicked and end up completely wasted!

Great job guys!!!!

I loved and miss college so much. As a young student I had some of the rowdiest times ever partying with fellow co-eds at the University Of Illinois campus in fabulous Champaign, Illinois. Those were the days, I tell ya.

So like a loser who hangs onto the past I get really excited every time some publication comes out with it’s list of Top Party Schools. I’m always sad that U of I never makes the list but get so excited to see who made it. I especially love the List of top party schools by the Princeton Review because you have to figure that the nerds at Princeton aren’t out partying and have nothing better to do than study who else is out drinking, having sex and getting into all sorts of mischief.

Although they’re direct Bog Ten rivals, the good kids at Penn State have taken home this years top honors. Congrats kids, I’m proud of you. Just make sure that after a long night of keg stands, beers bongs, multiple shots and all sorts of wild shenanigans you spend your day hung over playing video games for real money, cash and prizes at www.worldgaming.com so that you can support that next beer run!

This makes me laugh. Some dope thought that a great way to stop burglaries would to be create human flypaper. All you have to do is set it inside your front door at night or when you’re out and anyone who breaks in will be stuck to it.

I think this might just work.

Of course, then they will take off their shoes and be seriously ticked off, at which point they will go on a rampage and destroy your home or  come after you should you be in their eye sight. But hey, without their shoes burglars are basically helpless right?

The anti-burglar mat goes on sale in Japan (of course) this fall. I’ll be buying one for sure!

The picture you see above is a real rat. It’s not a negative of a picture or photo shopped. It’s not frozen and is 100% legit which makes it all the more bizarre. But in reality, the blue skin is a great thing because its color may be the secret to avoid spinal cord injuries and paralysis, according to a new study by neurologists at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Brilliant Blue G dye, which is a type of Blue Number One. Brilliant Blue G dye is a common and harmless food coloring product that you could use to color Easter eggs with. Scientists dropped weights on the rats’ backs to break their little spinal cords, injecting the Brilliant Blue G dye in their bodies. The dye turned their skins blue, but within weeks all motor functions returned to normal. The rat could walk, run, jump, have sex, whatever.

According to the study, the dye prevented inflammation of the spinal cord. It’s that simple and one of the neurologist Maiken Nedergaard, who has been working on the testing, says that they can’t find “clinical effects on the rat.”

Animal testing is always a tricky subject to alot of people but this is one of the things that they should start trying in humans as soon as possible. Better to look like a smurf than never walk again…just sayin!

Some 36 year old German nutjob named Dirk Auer who only had retrofitted inline skates (that were specifically designed for the stunt) and a helmet topped out at 56mph while going down a 2,8000 foot (860 metre) rollercoaster.

How damn insane is that?!?!?

It took him 110 hours to prepare the whole thing, but the ride was over in one minute. This guy might not be the most efficient person with his time but what he did is pretty cool no matter the time put in. Keep in mind that this is the same guy who holds the world’s inline skating speed record…for being dragged by a Porsche GT2!!

This story would have been so much better if this crazy Dick (and yes there was a pun intended) hadn’t put a copyright claim on his youtube video and deprived us all of seeing just how nuts the whole thing was. Anyways, I’m sure it will come out eventually and when it does I’ll be sure to post it for you!

The Cloud Project almost didn’t seem real when I first heard about it. It seems like something I dreamed of as a kid or straight out of a children’s book. It involves spray flavored condensation and liquid nitrogen that would be put up into clouds and then forcing flavored snow to fall from the heavens.

I bet the person who thought this up was tripping balls on acid at the time.

I should point out that the whole thing is only a concept at this point but all I know is when I heard it will “snow ice cream,” I almost soiled myself in excitement and I’m sure I’m ot the only one!

The love for Nikes (especially custom made ones) have been well documented on this blog. They’re so cool and i wish I could own them all including the newest ones to come out: Transformers Nikes!

I’ll openly admit I’ve never seen the the movies (1st or the 2nd one) so I can’t give an opinion on it but the shoes are dope. What’s so cool about them is that they are designed and decorated like gigantic toy cartons and have that extra little flap thing that allows the box to secure itself to a hook (sorry, I’m not up to date on the packaging lingo). I also love em because they’re retro enough to make you think that you’re going to get a real Transformer but then you just get a pair of shoes that you’d probably never wear because that would just ruin them.

If you’re in the market for a pair of the limited edition Soundwave, Megatron and Bumblebee sneeks you can get them for around $100-120.

If you live in Papakura, New Zealand you’re probably going to be driving a lot safer these day because the government there isn’t messing around when it comes to having people follow the rules of the road. This is evident is their bad ass new bleeding billboard campaign which aims srace the living crap out reckless drivers.

I think they’ve accomplished what they set out to do! Anytime you have a system that spews blood when it rains you just might scare people into giving up their cars entirely. Not surprisingly, the billboards have been effective. Since they were put in place, there hasn’t been a single fatal accident in the area.

That’s surprising to me because I’d think if people were driving along and saw some billboard with a picture of a kids bleeding face they would look at it, freak out and be more incline to cause an accident, but I guess not. So, I hope this catches on because they’re not only clever but they’re actually effective.

Maybe I’m a weird person (most would probably say I am) but I’m some what fascinated by clocks. I find them memorizing and when they are designed in cool shapes, colors and concepts, I go nuts for them. So when I heard about the Trace of Time clock I though it was one of the most genius adaptations that have ever been made to the clock.

Note to self: obsessing over how cool clocks are probably won’t get me any chicks!

But whatever, I like this Il-Gu Cha’s masterpiece since it’s an eraser-equipped and mostly constructed from glass and wipes away Dry Erase deadlines as they pass. No you can’t hit the snooze on this thing but it’s a beauty anyways!

I remember when I was 16 and worked at Marshalls and they made me watch a work safety video. I thought it was the lamest video I had ever seen (aside from traffic safety videos which are the KING of cheesy videos).

Then I cam across this one and this just takes the cake.

This is a quality work place safety video was made with the attempt to scare people into paying more attention to the dangers of the work place. I especially like the nail in the eye or the mannequin stunt double falling on a spike. Because you often have these type of things happening!! Enjoy and try to learn something people we need to make sure your vision is 20/20 when you’re playing video games for money on www.worldgaming.com
