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.

Frasé Skin is an Australian men's skincare brand built for the guys most products overlook: tradesmen and outdoor workers dealing with sun, dust, and grime all day. The line keeps things simple with five essentials, from a hydrating cleanser and heavy-duty exfoliating scrub to a lightweight moisturizer, body wash for breakouts, and blackhead strips. Formulated with proven ingredients like salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and natural exfoliants, it focuses on real results without overcomplicated routines or luxury packaging theater.
Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.
If you've ever wanted to see Jason Bourne and Batman go at it, here's your chance.

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.

Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.
