A Little Bit of Awesome: 5/10/18 Edition

I know there has been some worry about the new Solo: A Star Wars Story, but it’s clips like this that give me hope, because this is just plain awesome. You’ve got Woody Harrelson’s Tobias teaching Chewie how to play Dejarik, that chess-like game played on a round board with holographic monsters. Awesome.


We like little things. I’m not sure why, but we do. Probably because they’re awesome. Well, here’s ten of the world’s smallest things that actually work.


This seems like cheating, but still awesome. This is what they’re calling a paintball flamethrower. Again, not sure how rules friendly this is, but it’s awesome.

WARNING: There are a few swears dropped in this one. If you’re offended by language, then do not watch this video. You’ve been warned.
