Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series of games aren't just the best skateboarding games, they're some of the best games ever — just think about all the hours you wasted trash-talking over a game of HORSE. In addition to nearly every skate trick known to man, Tony Hawk also some well-loved tricks that weren't humanly possible — until now. Jonny Giger rips a few Pro Skater tricks that weren't meant to exist in the real world.
Pure nostalgia. If Nintendo's announcement of the US-spec mini NES didn't make your eyes glaze over with 80s childhood memories, then this definitely will — if you grew up in Japan. Japan will be getting its own miniature classic console, the Japan-only Nintendo Famicom. Like the US version, it comes loaded with over 30 classic games, with a few notable differences, such as Tecmo Bowl getting subbed out for a sumo wrestling game. The Mini Famicom will be available in Japan only on November 10, 2016.

Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.
