| A Day in the Life of Freddie Wong Posted: 18 Aug 2013 07:19 PM PDT
So when Alex asked me to venture with over with him to Freddie's production studio in Burbank to create this "Day in the Life of" video, I jumped at the chance. As you might expect, Freddie is down-to-earth, humble, affable, witty and has a lot to say. You'll hear in the interview below that he's been living on soda the past few weeks, pulling late nights to keep the latest season (#2) of his Video Game High School (VGHS) series on schedule. If you haven't been watching the show, I'll post a few of the 1st season episodes after the jump, but it's a new, really fun action comedy set in the near future where video gaming elevates its best players to stardom by its position as the world's most popular competitive sport. VGHS is an elite and prestigious facility almost impossible to gain entry to, which teaches a curriculum of video games of all genres. The episodes, which, in some cases are as long as traditional TV comedy shows, have racked up tens of millions of views and there are already plans for a season 3 next year. So watch our interview, get a tour of the Rocket Jump facilities, meet some of the creators and listen to Freddie talk about this unique moment in history where content creators have (more or less) complete control over what they produce, where they publish it, and how it gets distributed. Oh, and if you haven't already, make sure you join the more than 6 million other cool cats who've subscribed to FreddieW. Although, I guess even if you don't we'll continue to post his vids right here at neatorama. And now for some VGHS epidoes, starting with the first episode! | ||||||||

| Knitters Banned from Library Over "Dangerous Instruments" of Knitting Needles Posted: 18 Aug 2013 06:00 PM PDT
Knitta, please. How dare you bring "dangerous instruments" of knitting needles to a public library? The Knit 'n' Natter, a group of knitting enthusiasts, has been meeting at a library in Cramlington, Northumberland, England, for years. But recently, the group has been banned by the county council:

| Posted: 18 Aug 2013 05:00 PM PDT Consider this the Czech equivalent of "The Flying Purple People Eater." The song "Jožin z bažin" (Joey from the Swamp) was written in 1978 by comedian Ivan Mládek. This performance has English subtitles and those groovy fashions of the time. -via Daily of the Day | ||||||||

| Posted: 18 Aug 2013 02:00 PM PDT You probably cannot recall what you did six months ago without looking at your calendar, but anyone who is old enough to remember can recall very clearly what they did on September 11, 2001. I got my driver's license renewed very early that morning, and after listening to the news (and then watching it on TV), I went to work to broadcast more news -in fact my radio station played no music at all for several days afterward.

| No, Norman Isn't Pregnant, He's Just A Little Chubby Posted: 18 Aug 2013 01:00 PM PDT Fans of Neatorama know we are big fans of fat cats. In fact, one of the first posts that helped Neatorama make it big was about fat cats. That's why we're so excited to share this video about Norman with the rest of you. This Sacramento fat cat gets plenty of exercise and eats a special diet, but even so, a woman recently mistook him for a pregnant cat in labor and brought him to the vet. Fortunately, the vet recognized Norman and got him back to his owner. Via Cute Overload | ||||||||
| Rodger Thomas's Delightfully Eccentric Lamps Posted: 18 Aug 2013 12:00 PM PDT An ordinary craftsman can take an old object and make it into a lamp, but it takes inspiration to make one as amusing as Rodger Thomas does.

| What If Breaking Bad Was More Like Brokeback Mountain? Posted: 18 Aug 2013 06:00 AM PDT If the makers of Brokeback Mountain, The Notebook and Knocked Up created Breaking Bad, it would be a lot less about meth and a lot more about two men exploring their sexuality and somehow making a baby together.
