Presented to you by the 2nd Annual RIPTcademy Awards. I would totally watch some of these; The Grand Arkham Asylum looks especially badass! And Quailman? I used to love the show Doug!
The Theory of Everything – The Theory of Everything is AWESOME!

YOU. GUYS.
You’re probably aware of the fact that both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies were made by the same production company, Lucasfilm.
And you have to know that Han Solo and Indiana Jones were played by the same actor, Harrison Ford. (Right?)
So what if they could meet?!???
“Into the Great Unknown” is a 10-page non-canon comic story that was included in the comic book Star Wars Tales 19 in 2004. It serves more as a fanboy fantasy than a serious addition to either Star Wars or Indiana Jones worlds, but it truly is mind-boggling and leaves one almost wishing it were true.

Can you recognize these anticipated movies of 2015 from just a simple icon? (Hint: the numbers represent sequels.) See my answers in the comments section below.

Disney Interactive and Code.org has teamed up to inspire future computer programmers — especially girls — to learn some basic coding skills in a fun, visual way. Head on over to the Frozen Hour of Code to help Anna and Elsa create shapes and patterns on ice using simplified blocks of code that snap together.
No prior coding experience is necessary, because you start off by drawing simple lines, with short video tutorials between each subject. (Pop quiz: which “dinosaur” makes an appearance to explain functions? 😉 ) But you’ll soon be creating shapes like this:
To appeal to the social-media loving crowd, the game even lets you share your creations with your friends. Each generated URL leads the visitor to a unique page where people can see your code in action. (See an example here.)
Give it a try! I’m sure any Frozen-loving child — heck, adults too! — interested in computers would love the tutorial.

Head on over to The Unbalanced Design of Super Smash Brothers, written by Forrest Smith, to read and pore over various data, charts, and research dissecting the game and its characters, how the game has changed over time, and how the players’ perception of balance has shifted through the years.
In other words, some very nerdy stuff.
