Ender’s Game Summarized in Comic Form, Sort of

We’re just as confused as you are, but, we do fondly anticipate one thing: another entry into the long cinema tradition of training montages in action movies, full of kicks, punches, defeat, perhaps a loss of hope, and then comfortingly certain triumph.

But the other thing that training montages have to be full of is things that would make even professional personal trainers raise an eyebrow. We’ve collected fifteen of our favorite training montage exercises, from the ones that made us go:

“…what is that even supposed to do?”

To the ones that made us go:

“WTF THAT IS HARDCORE.”

A Pocket Guide to Fictional Social Networks

by Andrew Cedotal | 4:13 pm, February 5th

Yesterday, we wrote about an entire social network dedicated to fictional personas, which made us think: what are some social networks that, while aimed at real human beings, are themselves totally made up to fill a void in pop culture?
