The Final Countdown: Game Show Tricks, Bourne Trailer and Dragonborn Newlyweds

Published by Paul Tassi under Final Countdown

Go here to see counter-intuitive tricks to beat game shows.

“In many ways, game shows are just like psychological experiments. Scientists love to exploit our logical blind spots to show just how irrational human beings will act in the right circumstances. Of course the scientists can sleep well at night knowing that they’re only making anonymous subjects look stupid in the name of progress, while game shows make people look stupid on national TV so we can laugh at them while they lose money.”

The Final Countdown: SNL Shorts, Internet Agendas and Damned Lies

Published by Paul Tassi under Final Countdown

Go here to see the best SNL Digital Shorts.

“For a while there, the Digital Shorts were the only real reason to watch Saturday Night Live. These little clips were produced free of the constraints of the live audience starting in 2005 and usually involved the Lonely Island guys – Jorma Taccone, Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer. While the main SNL show can be moribund and unfunny, especially when the special guest sucks, the Digital Shorts never fail to please. Here are the best SNL Digital Shorts.”

The Final Countdown: Watchmen Prequels, Dark Rom Coms and Piracy is Immortal

Published by Paul Tassi under Final Countdown

Go here to see reactions to the Watchmen prequels.

“Upon hearing that DC Comics is releasing prequels to Watchmen, members of Twitter were predictably catty. DC’s move certainly isn’t without controversy. Alan Moore was a little less than pleased with the news. Neil Gaiman wrote on his website, “Mostly, I’m just glad that they didn’t do it 25 years ago. We’ve had 25 Watchmen-Prequel free years.”

Go here to see five famous people who never gave up.

The Final Countdown: Geek Photo Updates, Unexpected Songwriters and Next Gen Xbox Details

Published by Paul Tassi under Final Countdown

Go here to see geeky modifications of classic photos.

“Making “piggyback art” requires taking a pre-existing work of art and adding to it, which is the best possible use for the paintings at Goodwill (and I have the crappy landscape painting with Cthulhu added to it hanging on my wall to prove it). Alex Gross has applied this piggyback art aesthetic to antique cabinet card photographs, transforming these vintage photos into his “Heroes, Villains, and Monsters” series.”
