Story is the main focus of all RPGs, and the characters who star in the story make each RPG different and interesting in their own way, but for some reason video game designers use the same old bosses over and over again.

They still feel the need to include a Pathetically Early Boss who's somehow supposed to help us defeat the next boss who is often a Weirdly Hard Boss That You Aren't Prepared For, so you get spanked and feel low.

Later you end up facing a Filler Repeat Boss who looks strangely like the Weirdly Hard Boss, so your confidence is boosted before you dare to tackle the Unbelievably Hard Optional Boss, who usually sends me looking for a new game to play...looks like it's time for an RPG revolution!

When comedian Bill Burr has an opinion about something he doesn't hold back, and Bill has spent decades perfecting his gift of gab to the point where audiences can't help but soak in everything he has to say- whether they like it or not.

Bill's comedy is brash, abrasive and totally not PC, and that's what I love about him- he doesn't give a s#%t what you think about him, and isn't trying to convince you to believe what he believes, he's simply stating his own opinion in a way that makes me laugh.

So why would Invisalign use one of his rants to sell their product? They wouldn't, this video mashup was put together by Tanner James, a guy who knows how to sell products using the power of cynicism. (NSFW language)

For some a national anthem is nothing but a stirring song, for others it's the song that stirs their patriotic souls and represents their country and its people, and yet nations are rarely familiar with each other's national anthems.

This lack of exposure seems like a shame unless you're an isolationist, so this episode of Condé Nast Traveler focuses on educating the world by having 70 people from 70 different nations sing their national anthem so we can learn the patriotic songs of their people.

Digital artists are doing some amazing stuff with CGI these days, creating characters and scenes that look so realistic you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between their creations and real video footage.

And because their CGI creations look so real they make for great guessing games, prompting viewers to decide which one is real and which one is digital, but this isn't a guessing game- and believe it or not this video isn't CGI.

AI isn't very good at writing jokes or coming up with dramatic scripts that speak to the human experience, but apparently they're pretty good at writing comic strips.

That's according to CollegeHumor comic artist Jacob Andrews who used The Botnik Predictive Writer web app to write a strip by plugging in the title "why some friends are secretly staring at a toilet".

His bot-written comic strip makes no sense, it's vulgar in the most off-the-wall ways possible, and yet it still somehow works as a CollegeHumor comic strip, so way to go Botnik!

Wonder by Karen Hallion

Her powers, her origin story and her very existence fill readers with wonder, and even though she's had to share the spotlight with some super heavy hitters and bat-eared knights who captivate the imagination no hero has made us want to be filled with wonder more than Diana Prince. She's a great role model for young girl and woman alike, and her history isn't filled with dark and morally questionable moments like some other heroes she's in league with. So with any luck this Amazonian powerhouse will continue to wow us for generations to come, as she doles out her special brand of justice and makes the world a safe place for all the dreamers out there who dare to resist tyranny and fight the good fight!

Add some superheroic awesomeness to your geeky wardrobe with this Wonder t-shirt by Karen Hallion, and you'll be making comic fans smile wherever you go!

Ask anyone who has tried to walk around San Francisco and they'll tell you- steep hills can be really hard to walk up, and when you add rain or ice the uphill battle becomes nearly impossible to win.

But the guy in this video was hell bent on getting to where he needed to go and wasn't about to let an icy hill stand in his way, so he slipped and slid his way up the hill until he could grab a signpost and stop his downward slide.

Competing in a cotton candy eating contest sounds like a sticky, sugary nightmare, and even though kids would think it's a great idea most adults would probably rather chow down on some pie or watermelon.

But the host of the Chinese TV show I'm The Winner has a serious sweet tooth, so she found it quite easy to crush her competition in a cotton candy eating contest- and then she just sat there like the cat that ate the canary.

Show the world how much you value intelligence by wearing this SMART is the new SEXY t-shirt by Cafe Pretzel, it's a bright way to meet people who are on your mental level and weed through all the dummies who would just be a waste of your time.

Adults head to the emergency room all the time thinking they're having a heart attack when they're actually just dealing with muscle pain, severe heartburn, high blood pressure symptoms or anxiety.

In fact, only 6% of adults over 45 who go to the ER for non-specific chest pain are actually having a heart attack, resulting in a lot of time and money wasted by both the patient and the hospital.

Unfortunately this is all happening because it's extremely difficult to diagnose heart disease, and lots of testing is required to rule out serious conditions, so doctors are seeking a better way- and 22-year-old Peeyush Shrivastava thinks he may have found it.

Peeyush came up with a method of using 3D scanner technology to scan a patient and tell if they're having cardiac or non-cardiac chest pain:

Shrivastava says his company's scanner, called Faraday, can dramatically speed up that process, do it more accurately and make it more comfortable for the patient. It uses artificial intelligence to create thousands of 3-D maps of a patient's heart to tell doctors what is, or isn't, causing chest pain.

Shrivastava's team's method is noninvasive. There aren't needle pricks and blood draws. "The beauty of magnetic fields is, they are undistorted by the lungs, by the skin, so the signal you're getting is very high-fidelity. It's very pure," he said. "So you can hold sensors right above the chest and still get that high-quality signal. No radiation. No contact. No nothing."

Bringing a pile of bones to life can be dangerous business, and necromancy is not recommended for young wizards who have never dealt with dark forces.

It's crazy how many super rare cars are found sitting in barns, hidden and often untouched for decades after a car collector stashed them there for safe keeping.

These barn finds make auto enthusiasts drool, since they get to see a car that's rarely seen, but when they confirm the existence of a mythical automobile the enthusiasts totally blow a gasket.

This is the Ferrari Daytona, a car so rare people didn't believe it actually existed until it was located in a barn in Japan:

Ferrari had, in fact, only ever commissioned one street version of its Daytona with a full aluminum body. Completed in 1969, the car was exported to a Japanese dealership in 1971 and then featured in the January 1972 issue of Car Graphic, a Japanese motoring magazine.

After passing hands several times, it ended up in the barn of its last owner, Makoto Takai, some time around 1980.

The car is in “barn find” condition and is being put up for sale unrestored. The odometer displays just over 22,000 miles. RM Sotheby’s expects the car to fetch up to 1.7 million euros ($2 million), according to the auction catalog.

The car is in remarkably clean condition considering it has been sitting around in a barn for nearly 40 years, and what it lacks in interior comfort it makes up for in old school sports car cool.
