A fan remade the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny for the 15th anniversary.



I like it better than the updated Lemon Demon version from 2017 that I posted last year.



Of course nothing will beat the original, but the 2021 version at least shows enthusiasm and features a few pop culture icons that have emerged since the original.

A 2020 Garry's Mod of Ultimate Showdown.


I find it intriguing that both of the updated casts include Yami Yugi. It could be argued that he should've been in the original and not in the update, as Yu-gi-oh! is hardly the cultural phenomenon that it used to be.



(I also found it disturbing that this guy used Grommit in place of Mr. Rogers. Beyond the sweater the two are very different. I'm not a fan of the Aardman aesthetic.)

Another fictional starship comparison video


Not quite as impressive as the original. I don't know why he made the 1701's Bussard Collectors yellow, or why the Borg cube looks like a kitbash of plastic model parts.

For the tenth anniversary of Numberphile they made a video about the number 10.

Someone re-scored the classic short Paper Man.

This year's finalists for entry into the Toy Hall of Fame


Call me a purist, but I don't think games with formalized rules count as "toys" in the traditional sense. Especially something as complex as Settlers of Catan.



I am amazed that spinning tops and Nerf balls weren't in the Hall of Fame already.
