He was one of our favorite video game characters ever. Appearing in his own hugely playable (and, let’s face it – ADDICTIVE) games, Crash Bandicoot was the man. Or fox or whatever. Bandicoot? Is that an animal? Whatever. The thing we’re trying to say is that he was cool. And now he’s back! Crash Bandicoot: The N’Sane Trilogy will be released exclusively on the PlayStation 4 at some point in early 2017. It’s not really due to be a ‘new’ game so much as a ‘remaster’, but they’re putting lots of time and energy and effort into – it looks to…
When you think of a police officer, you probably think of a strapping six foot something dude speeding along in his patrol car, jumping out and wrestling a criminal to the floor and ‘cuffing him. And, sure, those types of cops exist – but they ain’t the only type of policeman. There are short ones, female cops, desk types, all sorts. But our favorite? POLICE DOGS! Remember the ol’ Jim Belushi film K-9? Yeah, that kind of thing. Or, if you’re more of a Tom Hanks kinds person – Turner & Hooch. Wily, smart and powerful, police dogs are often…
A guy is stumbling about all in the woods, drunk out of his mind, when all of a sudden he bumps into a preacher right there in the river baptizing people. He drunkenly splashes into the water and knocks into the preacher. The man of God turns around and is instantly hit by by the strong smell of booze. He decides the drunk needs saving. “Are you ready to find Jesus?” The preacher asks. “Yup!” Comes the reply. The preacher man grabs a hold of Ol’ Drunky and dunks him straight into the water. He grabs him back out and asks him, “Son,…
Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Fisherman Jessie Peek has just returned from a successful fishing voyage. He’s unloading his vessel and preparing to go out again. It’s a hard, hard job – but a rewarding one. Alaska is an unforgiving landscape, but one full of beauty. Hey, after all, it’s not everything you get to hang out with a bald eagle, is it?! Or a huge darn flock of ’em! But that’s just what this clip captures Jessie doing. He’s got a tempting bucket of big ol’ juicy shrimps in his hand and the eagles just can’t get enough of them. As…
What do cats like? Sleeping, fish, pretending to like humans and then scratching us… Plenty of things. But there’s one thing we didn’t know they liked until we saw this video clip here… Street musicians! Or at least this one singer-songwriter, at least. He’s playing on the streets of Malaysia and not really drawing much of a crowd. It’s a quiet day out, not many people around. Here’s about to call it quits for the night and go home when he begins to draw an audience… A little gang of stray kittens! And they really seem to love the guy’s…
Here’s a funny story you’re going to love… Especially if you’re a woman! Any ladies out there are going to be able to picture this scene all too easily. It’s set on one of the worst days in the calendar – the annual gynecologist’s check-up. *gulp* It’s not a day any woman looks forward to, but it’s just something you – quite literally – have to grin and bear. Hygiene is an issue on the morning of these checks and that’s where this story kicks off. But don’t worry, it’s not gross… This is brilliantly funny!
A truly unbelievable terrorist attack has occurred in Nice, France, in which 84 people have died.

A 31 year-old Tunisian man has been arrested and the driver is thought to have been shot after a shoot-out with police. ISIS are yet to officially claim responsibility, but there is little doubt as to the…
This past weekend saw the extremely sad passing of the greatest sportsman and celebrity to have ever lived… Muhammad Ali. He was aged just 74 and died as a result of complications concerning his Parkinson’s Disease.

Fox paid tribute to him in the kindest way, recognizing his contribution to Parkinson’s visibility and awareness. Both men are well aware of the damage that it can cause. But are you? Well, these shocking new photographs, of Ali himself, may…
The news of the boy falling into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo recently was shocking. But not as shocking as the news that zookeepers were forced to shoot a gorilla because of it. Poor Harambe was shot dead as a precaution to protect the child. It was an extremely sad turn of events and one which has seen criticism directed at both the zoo and the boy’s parents. It was an avoidable death, but one which zookeepers felt compelled to do. But was Harambe definitely a danger? Well, no. A precedent has already been set for such occasions.…
