When Mario dies in any of his video games he gets an extra life until it's game over...and then he starts the game over again with a fresh batch of lives.

This never ending supply of lives allows gamers to mess up all they want and keep playing, but they'd probably try harder to keep Mario alive if they knew what happened to him between lives.

I'd love to see this fun fan film by Nukazooka turned into a survival horror game set in the Mario universe, then Luigi would finally get the chance to devour his brother!

Shanghai Disney seemed like an unnecessary addition to the Disney Parks family until I saw this video showing a full POV ride through the TRON Lightcycle Power Run roller coaster.

Now it seems like a must-see destination for theme park fanatics, and a place full of rides and attractions that will make me jealous every time I go to Disneyland in Anaheim.

SoCal Attractions 360 shared this awesome POV video of the TRON Lightcycle Power Run ride, which was shot with a low light camera so we can see the entire ride.

The TRON coaster cars look really cool, but some sections of the ride seem unfinished, so as a bonus here's another SoCal Attractions 360 video showing the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Shanghai Disney. *drool*

For some guys a beard becomes part of their persona, but a fictional character's beard is put there as a hairy window into their made up soul.

We can tell if the character is good or evil just by looking at their facial hair, but identifying other beard types on the spectrum can be a bit tricky.

Luckily we have this arbitrarily ranked and absolutely infuriating chart created by the staff at Dorkly to reveal the truth about bearded characters, and give us something to argue about.

It has the God-Santa-Dumbledore ranking set right, but Jaspar Beardly's beard is far from middle of the road...and his name is BEARDLY!

I'd have put him square between Riker and Gimli, and then I would erase Seneca Crane because his beard is LAME!

Cosplaying as the same old characters can become boring, especially for those cosplayers who make different costumes for every convention they go to, but it's easy to make an old character look fresh again.

(Image Link)

All you have to do is put a new twist on the character's traditional look, or put together an always compelling hybrid character costume, and bend both time and space to your will.

(Image Link)

But be forewarned- once you start meddling with the traditional look of your favorite characters you might find it virtually impossible to go back to basics!

The creator of those mini comics with the ridiculously zealous religious message Jack Chick has passed away, leaving a vacuum in the illustrated fearmongering market.

Chick Books were a real panic because they tried to cause panic over Halloween, Dungeons & Dragons, Freemasonry, homosexuality and global warming.

Jack's mini comics explained what actually happened at the Salem Witch Trials, warned against every other religion besides Evangelical Fundamentalism, and ironically even called comic books a gateway to devil worship because superheroes are "false idols".

The messages in Jack's Chick Tracts were so over-the-top many people thought they were a joke, but Jack was passionate about sharing his hateful paranoia and zealous religious messages via mini comics.

So The Nib felt it was only proper to send Jack off to the afterlife with a mini comic of his own, revealing Jack's fate after so many decades of spreading hate.

The legalization of marijuana is right around the corner for many states, and this year Arizona, California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts will be voting on the issue, so the weed jokes are about to start rolling in.

That means it's only a matter of time before Hollywood starts making movies that appeal to cannabis enthusiasts, and not just stoner comedies.

So what sort of films should we expect when weed is legal?

According to Paul Louis Smith of CollegeHumor we should expect lots of horror flicks that won't make sense to those who aren't high.

These movies probably won't make much money at the box office, but they will scare those who shouldn't be smoking so much they'll never blaze a bud again!

Emojis make text messages fun yet completely unintelligible, but there is one emoji which needs no explanation and is universally understood by all who receive it- the poop emoji.

That little smiling pile of poop can be used as an insult, an exclamation and a way to describe how you feel, and if any emoji deserves to make the leap from smartphone screen to real life it's lil' poopy face.

If you're a fan of the poop emoji, or you're just looking for a last minute Halloween costume idea that'll get you lots of laughs, then you'll enjoy this tutorial by Super Deluxe on how to make poop emoji hair.

Sesame Street is the one thing we all have in common, because as kids we all loved learning our ABCs and 123s while hanging out on our favorite street full of puppets and puppet-friendly people.

(Image Link)

Since the show first aired in 1969 it has grown into a cultural phenomenon, and it's the one show your friend who grew up without a TV regrets not being able to watch as a kid.

(YouTube Link)

But when some people view the show through adult eyes it really messes with their minds, and they start thinking all sorts of messed up stuff about those poor, innocent puppets...which they naturally post online.

If you want to celebrate Star Trek’s 50th anniversary with a Starfleet Halloween costume, go for it! But if you’re attending a party with die-hard Trek fans, you better be accurate. When Star Trek debuted in 1966, Gene Roddenberry color-coded Starfleet uniforms to indicate service divisions, and added gold braid to denote rank. However, he did not know how long the series would last and how many new iterations would follow. Besides, the production had a very skimpy budget. Starfleet uniforms evolved over the years as Star Trek went to movies and several more modern TV series. And some of the uniform innovations didn’t go over well.

The Star Trek movies that followed the cancellation of the original series, threw most of the original coloring schemes out the window for a cleaner look, which is surprisingly harder to read. In 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture (which takes place in the mid-2270s), the bright colors were done away with and replaced with white, grey, and beige uniforms.

Here, a person’s position could be determined by the color of the ring behind the Starfleet insignia on their breast. A white ring was used for command, orange and green were used for the science divisions, and red, gold, and grey were used for operations. Rank was now worn on either the sleeve and/or on a shoulder tab. Thankfully, these creamy jumpsuits didn’t last long.

By 1982’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Starfleet (and the film’s production department) had adopted an even more standardized and militaristic look. Taking place around the late-2270s, the second film introduced a standard maroon color that was worn by all officers in jumpsuit and jacket styles.

As Star Trek movies and series proliferated, writers and producers tried to streamline the color-coding and ranks, but time-travel plots further complicated the overall fashion scheme. You can catch up and get an idea of how Starfleet uniforms work in a rundown at Atlas Obscura. 

Adulthood sounds really cool to kids who mature faster than their peers, and while they may hear about responsibilities, bills and financial burden it's hard for them to understand how much these aspects of adulthood suck.

If you're resilient or crafty enough to finish the race you will figure out how to get past all the hurdles life keeps putting in your path.

But first you'll have to fall on your face at least a few times, just so you know what dirt, and your own blood, tastes like.

The change that hits us hardest is the space which grows and widens between friends, as kids with plenty of time to hang out with each other grow into adults who hardly have time to stay in touch via text.

However, old friends will meet you at a bar one night then proceed to get so drunk they get kicked out.

And then you'll have to drive them home while praying you don't get pulled over and they don't vomit all over your car. Yay adulting! (Comic by Scott DeWitt)

People often assume Halloweenies are also rabid horror movie fans, but many become obsessed with Halloween because they enjoy making stuff and decorating, and don't like all that blood and gore.

They're definitely a rare breed, but Halloweenies who don't like horror can start to feel left out, wishing they had a movie to watch and get them in the Halloween mood.

Luckily there are plenty of spooky but scaredy-cat friendly movies out there even those who hate horror may appreciate, like the Tim Burton classic Beetlejuice or the stop motion masterpiece Coraline.

Both movies are creepy and surreal, with grim themes and otherworldly settings that will certainly give you those Halloween feels.

There are also many new movies worth checking out if you want chills and supernatural thrills without the gruesome gore, like the vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows starring Jemaine Clement of Flight Of The Conchords.

And if you're looking for a frightfully fun movie to watch with your little ones you should check out Goosebumps starring Jack Black, it's fun for R.L. Stine fans young and old.

A few of the games in the Mario Bros. franchise have attempted to show us what Mario dreams about, and Super Mario Bros. 2 was all a dream, but can we really know what's going on inside Mario's head?

The guy has eaten so many mushrooms I doubt he knows his own mind anymore, and all that warping, morphing and fighting can't be good for his brain.

But as this comic by Andy Kluthe shows us the Mushroom Kingdom resident you've really gotta look out for is Toad- because he's clearly not getting enough love.

Superheroes are a sexy bunch, there's no doubt about it, but having sex with a superhero seems like a task best left up to other superfolks.

For our normal human bodies are fragile, and probably wouldn't be able to withstand a physical encounter with some super strong, super fast and/or super thick skinned individual.

But if you're trying to get down and dirty with The Thing you might find him too embarrassed to return your advances- because the jury's still out on whether he has functional genitalia in his non-human form.

On the other hand, Rogue of the X-Men is anatomically correct, but touching her bare skin can cause power loss, permanent memory loss or death. She's hot but she ain't that hot!
