Snack Shack featuring Mega Stuf Oreo
A while ago, Ricky and I did the Mexican Coke Challenge; comparing the highly popular Mexican Coke and our standard American Coke. I’ve always wanted to follow it up with some more snack videos, especially since we both have a sweet tooth. Oreo recently released a “limited edition” Mega Stuf version of their cookie, so we tried some of the cookies.

CYaN Podcast Episode 68: Lurching

Major Nelson Unboxes the Xbox One
Today we see our first next-gen unboxing (3 months early) as Microsoft’s Larry Hryb, better known as Major Nelson, unveils what will come out of the box for the Xbox One.
We’ve heard what is coming with the console, but it’s nice to see it all to put into perspective. Not to mention, it’s nice to know that Microsoft is actually including a headset (although another reversal).
The true next-gen of consoles does not start for another few months, but it sounds like more reveals will be at Gamescom.

New Ender’s Game Trailer Annihilates
Ender’s Game continues to be one of my favorite science fiction books (regardless of author’s opinions I don’t agree with and possible boycotts). I’ve anticipated this movie all year and they just released the second full trailer.
This is a great second trailer because it shows a lot of the action beats and little bit of the drama behind it all. The Battle Room looks gorgeous, the Command School scenes are even more vivid that I imagined. All in all, the trailer looks great.
Don’t just take my work for it; hit the jump to see it for yourself.
See Something Cool: A Real Wall-E
Currently, it is Geek Week on YouTube and several of our favorite channels are pulling out all the stops to strut their stuff. The folks from Tested featured Mike McMaster who creates real life robots. Him and his group previously worked on a functional R2-D2, but now they are building a robot that has tugged at all our heart-strings.
From its namesake Pixar film, a real life Wall-E rolls out of the screen and into our world. With a little elbow grease, Mike has captured the CGI robot by constructing something you can play with.
