I've never been hit by a car, but I imagine it's a pretty stressful situation. I'm not sure I'd be able to stay as calm as this gentleman seems to be. According to the video, this man was hit by a rather large truck, and jumped on that truck's hood as it tried to flee the scene. Another driver pulls up alongside the truck, and the man politely asks the other driver to call the police. That's poise under pressure.

The topic of the Alien movies came up in the office the other day, and I realized I probably haven't watched the first two since high school at the latest. I probably would have wasted hours of my life watch Aliens again, but now thanks to 1A4 Studios I don't have to. They've done a Speedrun version of Aliens that compresses it down to 60 seconds. Thanks! I remember Aliens as kind of boring.

In a move that's going to have them receiving curses from a very vocal minority of people, Nintendo's now going to profit from user-generated videos that people upload to YouTube. As in, all those really sweet Let's Play videos that people upload to show off their wicked skills? Yeah, Nintendo's going to get the whole pie on that, not just a slice.

There are few things I love more than Doctor Who, but even I have to admit that some of the mocked-up websites and apps depicted in the show are a little bonkers. I won't go through and list the worst offenders, but the folks at Slacktory sure seem to be up to the task. They've put together a compilation of cheesy sites and apps from what appear to be the first four seasons of the current Doctor Who.

We caught a quick look at some footage from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. already, but this is the first full trailer, and it's spectacular. It gives us a sense of the team and their dynamic without giving too much away in terms of story. We find out that Agent Coulson survived the events of The Avengers, but we don't find out how. This is just speculation, but is J. August Richards coming across as a little bit like Luke Cage? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will air Tuesdays this fall.

I have a dog, and it's fun to imagine what he might be thinking because he's generally pretty pumped about every single thing that happens. Cats, however, always seem pretty miserable, so imagining what they're thinking would probably be really depressing. Ze Frank settled it once and for all and made this video of sad cat diary entries over pictures of sad cats. It's a little depressing, but it's also hilarious.

Chris Hadfield launched to the International Space Station on December 19, 2012. In March of this year he became the first Canadian commander of the ISS. While serving on the ISS, Hadfield has recorded music, posted pictures and videos, and engaged the world through social media in an unprecedented way. He returns to Earth tonight, and you can watch the live feed right here.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day here in the U.S. and our nation's Kid President has some words on the subject. Specifically, he has ten things he thinks kids everywhere want their moms to know. As ever, this Kid President video is adorable and hilarious. Posting this link on your mom's Facebook wall won't necessarily make up for forgetting to get her a gift, but it couldn't hurt.

The Venture Bros. season five finally premieres June 2nd at Midnight on Adult Swim. The new season picks up just moments after the finale of season four, and promises to have the Venture team face off against a whole host of enemies both external and internal. The show's first season is available to stream on Netflix, and you can pick up the rest on DVD, or just watch this eight-minute recap of the first four seasons to get caught up on all the major plot points you need to know going into the new season.

Unless you live in Los Angeles this video probably won't entice you to see The Antaeus Theater Company's production of The Crucible, but it's funny enough to be worth watching anyway. It stars the shows directors, who happen to be Armin Shimerman and Goeffrey Wade. Shimerman played Quark on Deep Space Nine and Wade had his hands in Jon Hamm's mouth once.

If you've ever felt the urge to peek over the shoulder of a co-worker to see what video they're watching, YouTube has a new tool that's right up your alley. Today saw the release of YouTube Trends, which lets you get a look at what videos the rest of the country is tuned into on YouTube. You can even break down the data by user age and gender to make sure you're keeping up with the Joneses and not missing out on all the cat videos, trailers, and lip read dubs that your peers are into right this second. After all, you wouldn't want to look foolish, would you?

Breaking Bad is one of the best shows on television, and LEGO is one of the best toy/entertainment companies around. It's pretty obvious why we love this mashup of the two by Brian Anderson. It combines all the charm and fun of LEGO with all of the meth and violence of Breaking Bad. The video warns that it has spoilers for seasons one through four, but if you listened to the first episode of the Geekosystem podcast, you'll know that I think that's your own problem at this point.

We've done a lot of stories on Google Glass, because we think it's interesting. For as much as we've written about it on the site, we've never actually had the opportunity to try it ourselves, so it leaves us wondering what using it is really like. This new introductory video demonstrates how to the use Glass's touch navigation, but also gives us a better idea of what using it is like.

If you live in San Diego, are thinking about moving, or just love awkward raps, then you should definitely watch this video by real estate agent Rafael A. Perez. He'd like to sell you some property, and he seems willing to go to extreme lengths to do so. We'd hate to see this kind of effort go unrewarded. Perez laid down some fat beats and slick rhymes to tell you all about how he reps the 619.

Frozen foods have been around for a few decades now, long enough to be taken for granted, but it really wasn't that long ago that they weren't an everyday item. Learn about the history and science of frozen foods from the folks at MinuteEarth in less than three minutes. Think of all the frozen foods you could heat up in those three minutes. Then get hungry. Then go buy some frozen food. Then eat it. Then take a nap. Then watch this video again.
