Watch Intel’s record-setting drone light show
100 Dancing Drones: Space Pixels in Flight
Intel and Ars Electronica Futurelab recently set a Guinness World Record for most UAVs flown simultaneously. They made 100 drones dance and put on a light show, set to music from a live orchestra.
To accomplish Drone 100, Futurelab created their own software to choreograph the drones, control their lights and complement the live music. In the end, they had four pilots controlling 25 drones each. You can skip to 3:27 in the video below to see the performance.
Reusable fireworks! What a time to be alive.

Guy Cracks 150 Walnuts with His Head, Sets New World Record for Headaches
His friends now call him Paulie Walnuts, not because of The Sopranos, but, well you see why. The Guinness World Records series Spotlight posted the official video of Muhammed Rashid of Pakistan as he breaks the world record for “Most Walnuts Cracked Against the Head in One Minute”. We are talking 150 walnuts.
This crazy and amazing feat occurred back in February 2014 at the Punjab Youth Festival. Interestingly, more than 30 Guinness world records have been broken in the last three years there. Must be something in the water.
Rashid’s record crushed the old one which was just 44 walnuts. That guy just wasn’t as nuts as this one. It hurts my head just watching it.
World’s Largest Video Game Collection: No, It’s Not Your Steam Library
So you think you have a huge backlog of games? Video game historian Michael Thomasson has to play two full games each day for the next 15 years if he hopes to get through all of his. That was back in September, when the Guinness World Book of Records recognized that the New Yorker had the world’s largest collection of video games at 10,607 distinct games.
That’s the record holder in the badass Intellivision t-shirt. As of November 28, when he uploaded the video below, Michael already had almost 12,000 different games. He also owns more than a hundred game consoles, systems and whatever you call the Virtual Boy is. The thing is, he would probably have more games, but he sold his previous major collection to pay for his wedding. Awww.
Check out the Associated Press’ feature on Michael and his own writeup on YouTube for more on his collection.
