Free Beats, Loops, Samples, Acapellas, and More

I have found this site called Looperman it is a very good site if you are looking for some beats or loops and the are all free to use. This site works by users generating material and posting for others to use with their musical works or whatever they are using them for. I particularly because they have quite a large selection and there is a pretty defined search engine to help you find just what you are looking for. They one drawback with sites like these are that you will need to create a free account to enable you to download things. I find that this site is very useful and use it fairly often to create my music.

Effects Of Spiders On Drugs

I find this to be pretty interesting. Seems as though they gave the spiders drug laced flies and then observed how different their webs would become from the affect of the drug they were given.

An interesting Take On Red Riding Hood

I found this very interesting flash video that was about the story of Red Riding Hood. A bit of a darker version but still was very good and is very much worth watching if you have the time for a quick 5-10 minute video.

A Very Cool Midevil Castle Smashing Game

The game is Sieger and the object of the game is to smash castles to kill the guys inside, but on some of the levels there are guys with a (!) over their head and if you hurt them you will lose and have to start the level over again. It's a very fun game and takes a bit of strategy to achive a gold medal in all of the levels. If your bored try your best at some Sieger. You can also make your own levels and play levels that others have created too. It's a great game that you can keep on playing for a long time and it will always be fun and interesting.

Koreans Take Starcraft Seriously

Found this very interesting article on Cracked about how they have a professional Starcraft team and actually hold tryouts to become apart of the team. Also to hold up against these guys evenly you will need about a 200- 300 APM (Actions Per Minute). They also have a Starcraft team in their military services so that top players can still serve their mandatory time in the armed forces without having to lose practice.
