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.

The canvas, the photograph, and the screen are three of the most closely linked art forms. In the second installment of Film Meets Art, even more scenes from the silver screen are juxtaposed with their still counterparts.
Traditional photoluminescent compounds — even the gold-standard Super-LumiNova — require light to charge the paint before it will glow. Unsatisfied with this solution, the founder and former owner of Luminox Watches returns to the technology he pioneered beginning in 1989, a self-powered lume that involves filling micro gas tubes with tritium gas. The resulting glow lasts for decades, is 100X brighter than conventional photoluminescent lume, and is the signature feature of his ProTek brand of watches. The PT1001 Carbon uses it to light its hour markers, hour, minute, second hand, and bezel pip, making the watch visible in any light condition including complete darkness. Its 42mm case and tight 60-click unidirectional timing bezel are crafted from carbon composite, with a 316L embossed stainless steel screw-in caseback and crown. It's powered by a dependable Miyota quartz movement with a 10-year battery, has a date window at 3 o'clock, and sits on a genuine rubber strap with a signature steel buckle.
Tiny screws, like those found in eyewear and electronics, generally don't play well with full-size powered screwdrivers. Hoto's Electric Precision Screwdriver was built specifically with them in mind. Its 170 RPM motor makes quick work of tasks, with two torque options for just the right amount of power. The included case holds the screwdriver and 25 magnetized S2 steel bits, the 360º LED light ensures you can see what you're looking on, and the screwdriver's aerospace-grade aluminum body has an anti-slip coating for a secure grip.
We've often heard of mind control, but what about gut control? The truth is, we don't actually have another brain hiding out in our bodies helping us make decisions, but our gut can influence the decisions we make. As AsapSCIENCE explains, sneaky microbes in our stomach produce both dopamine and serotonin, manipulating our cravings for their own benefit. So maybe you shouldn't always go with your gut.
