This 16-bit-inspired music video from Swedish rapper Pato Pooh is pure genius. It also gives me a strange urge to attempt to play hip-hop albums through my Sega Genesis. [Note: some lyrics NSFW]

The first two installments of Blogadilla’s very own cut-n-fold-n-tape paper art series: Blogadilla’s Ancient Temples of Awesomeness. They take only 10 minutes to cut and tape together, and will look awesome in your home, dorm, or office.

[Here are the first two temples, with two more on their way next week.]

This is one of those brilliantly made hypnotic videos – elegantly simple, yet says so much (wait for the fat guy at 3:50):

Halloween is quickly approaching, so it’s time to start thinking about a costume. The Hangover Beard could be one of the best of the year.

Go to the Hangover Beard website for the best reason to purchase one:“The Hangover Beard is $20 (shipping included). That’s about equal to the amount of free beer you will be given for having such a fucking awesome beard.”

Blogadilla Costume Recommendation: Wear a different costume on the Friday night before Halloween. For a second costume using this beard, head to Goodwill, pick up a cheap suit, grab a pint of milk, and stumble around acting like a disheveled Ron Burgundy.

Complete-Your-Costume Bonus Round:

NerdyShirts has just the thing to compliment the Hangover Beard:
