Death, it stalks us - according to the Toltec shamans - at every turn in our lives, every corner it's behind us, following us. We cannot avoid it, even when we try to escape from reality when we play video-games. As this gruesome yet awesome list of morbid scenes from PC games shows.

It has the exploding, fiery, twitching, detailed dying bodies of the creatures from Starcraft 2 - those developers must be some sick puppies. It also has the disturbingly enjoyable catastrophe of a roller coaster crashing into innocent men, women and children in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and the haunting sight of a field of slain Romans from Rome: Total War.

It's got plenty more as well, so go check it out for your morose afternoon death fix.

Who really cares about the Olympics? People who go on about adrenalin rushes and the "natural" high brought on from running ten kilometres a day are invariably boring assholes.

We're talking about San Francisco's annual Fap-a-thon, which is a bit like those telethons that they used to do on TV in the 80s to raise money for charity but with jerking off instead of dumb-ass celebrity dance routines and teddy bear mascots.

There are prizes in different categories, from "Longest Squirt" to "Most Orgasms," but the real sportsmen are found in the "longest time spent fapping" event.
