Rembrandt's Masterpiece

The Night Watch, Dutch master Rembrandt's masterpiece painting, isn't a night watch at all. Years of age and low lighting gave the painting a darker setting, and the mistaken name stuck. Militia Company of District II Under the Command of Frans Banninck Cocq is the actual name of the painting and all of Rembrandt's formidable skill is on display. Rembrandt's mastery of perspective, light, and depth of field is there, along with subtle hints that suggest the painter was poking fun at his subject. Nerdwriter goes deep into the techniques that make this the best work of one of the masters of the form.

Tommy Wiseau's Joker

Although Joaquin Phoenix has been making headlines while filming Todd Phillip's upcoming Joker film, there's another actor giving the role a go. No, not Jared Leto but Tommy Wiseau. The Room director and star first portrayed the Clown Prince of Gotham back in March with a surprisingly compelling performance. Now he's back at it to recreate another scene from Christoper Nolan's Dark Knight franchise and prove he's the ultimate villain.

Nike Alphafly 3 Road Racing Shoes

Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

A Brief History of Electric Guitar Distortion

Like nearly everything in human history, the raucous, screaming electric guitar that became the sound of rock was mostly the result of an accident. While amplifier manufacturers like Fender were trying to create the loudest, cleanest sound possible, guitarists of the late 40s and early 50s were doing exactly the opposite — trying to coax the most tortured sounds possible from their gear. Polyphonic goes through the history of the sound that changed popular music forever, from destroying speakers to the invention of the fuzz pedal.

Direwolf Bread from Game of Thrones

Winter is coming, and there's nothing like a good loaf of well-formed direwolf bread to get you through those years-long cold winter nights. Hot Pie's famous dough appears twice in the series, once as an amorphous blob that looks like a turtle, and lastly as true direwolf as we see Hot Pie master his craft. Babish decided to create his own, and brought in someone with direct knowledge of how direwolf bread should taste to make sure he was on point.
