  • Hey, Vsauce. Michael here.

  • Do you remember that Italian researcher I met in an airplane a couple of months ago?

  • Well, I had to learn more and so we're gonna meet tomorrow here in Rome, Italy.

  • In the meantime, here's some cool things on the internet that are awesome like you.

  • Let's begin simply. Andrew recommended Dodge the Dot, where you

  • dodge dots. Step it up a notch with LINK0702 in "Klikwerk,"

  • a game you win by mousing over and clicking on stuff.

  • It's like the website version of Bop It. If you'd rather just loose and avoid all the

  • gameplay, try Trollface The Game, let me know how far you get.

  • Mightyfigter mentioned Enough plumbers, a creative game where collecting coins clones

  • you. Your clones move like you and can be sacrificed

  • or positioned in strategic ways. TheMatia84 sent me Zombotron, which looks

  • really pretty, but it lacks something important - cute bunnies and puppies.

  • Luckily, Ferryhalim has such things. Mabimanta introduced me to this guy's great

  • collection of simple little games. In this one you have to get video footage

  • of UFOs to sell. 4rvinder reminded me of the useful YouTube

  • channel "All Time 10s." These guys release simple videos containing

  • facts about pretty much anything, organized into top 10 lists.

  • Now, speaking of YouTube, let's stick around and try out YouTube.com/disco.

  • I briefly mentioned this before. Just type in a band name and let YouTube do

  • the work making you a playlist. Then, beef up your knowledge with YouTube.com/EDU,

  • a place where educational videos are arranged by topic, but the coolest thing is the search

  • bar. Whatever you search here will only return

  • related approved educational stuff, so if I search "Italian," I don't find The Jersey

  • Shore, I find how to speak Italian. Get even smarter with Newton, a fun site I

  • found filled with scientific questions answered by volunteer scientists.

  • It's so full of info it can be tough to navigate, but you'll be surprised what you learn; questions

  • you never knew you wanted the answers to so badly.

  • Now back on YouTube, if you're not sure what topic to search, YouTube.com/topics covers

  • the hottest topics of the moment and videos in that topic.

  • You can also search, for instance, "what sounds animals make?"

  • Now, if you wanna see the hottest individual videos, YouTube.com/trends is an awesome place.

  • Using fancy robotic calculations, Trends surfaces what's rising in popularity often before it

  • gets too popular. On Twitter yesterday I shouted out photo2text.com,

  • which Adam e-mailed to me. You can upload any picture you want and get

  • back a bunch of characters that look like the picture.

  • Too many DONGs for one lifetime? Well, get a second with Alterego, a text-based

  • game where you make decisions that affect your personality and relationships starting

  • all the way back to your birth. Too heavy?

  • Well alvin37337 recommends Nyan Cat Snake. Collect the cherries, avoid your own tail.

  • And as always,

  • thanks for watching.
