Backrooms

Do you know The Backrooms? I think I’d heard the name and then hadn’t seen footage until it was shown on Corridor Crew. The original was (mostly) CGI and done by Kane Parsons/Kane Pixels, who was 16 or 17 when he made the original viral video. Now, at the age of 20, his feature-length version is being released by A24. I’m glad to see Kane is also directing this, and I’ll be curious to see what they do for a story. The original was inspired by a photo of an abandoned HobbyTown under renovation. Anyway, here’s the trailer, the original, and the clip from Corridor Crew.

Cooking with Congress

Fun fact… when I was in the second grade, I became obsessed with the U.S. Presidents. I had books, a puzzle, memorized facts… you name it. My teacher would hold challenges for who could memorize all 40 (at that time) presidents, and I won! It came down to me and someone who would actually end up working in the government for governors, senators, and the like.

So that’s why I think I’ve been super into this YouTube show, Cookin’ with Congress. Not only does the show feature meals eaten by congresspeople from each district, but it has also expanded to include First Ladies, congressional district constituents, and, most importantly, Presidents. Anyway, check out Big Steve’s meals in the latest video.

It looks like this blog is now dedicated to British YouTubers.

I can’t decide if this guy digging a tunnel between his house, garage, and shed is really cool or really dumb. I mean, it’s only taken four years of hand digging! When your other achievements include things like making working Wolverine claws and lots of flamethrowers, I guess this was the logical next step.
