What if sex in films was more like sex in real life? What if the hero had difficulty getting his last sock off and was nervous about the heroine going on top (“don’t crush my penis…”)? CollegeHumor.com’s Realistic Sex Scene features some nudity- duh!

Beardyman’s looped beatboxing and mr_hopkinson’s video editing have a lot in common. They both loop small bits of content on top of each other in way which starts off simple but builds into something jaw-dropping. Here they are united: David Hopkinson filmed Beardyman at a beatboxing convention, edited the video into sync with the loops in his trademark style and showed off the result at his excellent session in the recent Venn festival.

The idea of Spore is that while the game is single-player, it will stream other users’ creations to you to fill out the universe around you.
One day into the release, here’s one of the first examples… (NSFW and a little.. erm.. wrong.)

Radiohead offer a competition to remix one of the songs from their “In Rainbows” album, a slow waltz in fact. Now, do you get a pulsing beat and trigger sped-up samples from the song on top of it, or do you bring together a dot matrix printer, a scanner, a Sinclair Spectrum and lots of hard drives and program them to recreate the song on video?
