While the media promised us a limitless array of holodecks and BCIs and full-body simulations to divert the masses' attention from their own dismal fealty to the corporate-cyborgian over-state, all we ended up with were clunky, 8-bit goggles that ruined your neck and The Sims. Fortunately while the rest of us were griping about blowing $15 for three minutes of geometric-induced nausea at Dave & Busters, a pair of Russian brothers were holed up in their lab actually doing something about the situation. The Virtusphere is glorious result of their decades-long attempt to push VR forward. You still have to wear the goggles and headphones, but this time you're in a giant, human-sized hamster ball that rolls in place. Also, they're this close to locking down smell.

SERIES STARTS ON VBS TV: 6/29 Despite the fact that even Pakistan has worked out how to make their own nukes by this point, the blueprints for America's first atomic bombs remain a closely guarded state secret, available only to high-ranking officials in the Department of Energy. At least they were until a truck driver from Waukesha, Wisconsin figured them out on his own and built an exact replica of the bomb that leveled Hiroshima in his garage. Working from old photos and the recollections of aging Manhattan Project workers, John Coster-Mullen somehow managed to piece together the exact specifications of Robert Oppenheimer's famous Fat Man and Little Boy. Then he did what any reasonable person would do with said info: He put it in a book and sold it over the internet. If you ever find yourself on the business end of a mushroom cloud, odds are you've got John and his spare time to thank.

So we went to Britain to chat up a couple of doctors on different sides of the debate and visit a woman whose EHS is so severe it's basically turned her into the bubble boy of the new millennium, just with electromagnetic radiation taking the place of germs.

SERIES STARTS NEXT WEEK! The Federation of Damanhur is a neopagan cult based out of the foothills of Northern Italy. In the late 70s they started work on the Temples of Humankind, a subterranean compound of massive, ornately decorated rooms that basically required them to hollow out an entire mountain in the Italian alps. Not only did they pull it off, but somehow they managed to keep the whole operation under wraps until 1991 when they were just about ready. At first, the Italian Government was all "WHAT?!" and tried to destroy the temples, but then they got inside and their Whats transformed into Whoas before finally settling into quiet Wows. Damanhur's residents believe in a lot of things that are either really awesome or really goofy (depending on how awesome/goofy you are), such as plants having the ability to make music. They also adopt the name and surname of a fauna and flora upon joining. Ring-Tailed-Lemur Oak is like their Luke Smith. Check out Dell ...

If the best we can do right now is a robot with the artificial learning skills of a toddler, why not make something that looks and acts like a robotic toddler?" (except it was probably in Japanese).

EPICLY LATER'D VOLUME 1 DVD OUT DECEMBER 9th......Fred is one of the baddest dudes on the East Coast. I am such a fan. I saw him once in 1994 and took the above photo: a backside 180 nose grind at Love Park. This might be the first photo I ever took of a pro, though he probably wasn't pro yet. Anyway, Fred is awesome, and back in 1994 the Philly scene really brought something fresh to street skating. It wasn't about doing the most tech tricks in a school yard, it was about skating fast down sketchy streets, skating switch, and doing wallrides and pole-jams. It was a tremendous breath of fresh air.Though I am actually older than Fred I think of him as this legendary veteran pro. I like how in this episode he hides the beer from his grandma. Even though he is one of the most notorious piles in skateboarding he's still kind of a grandmama's boy. WATCH MORE ON VBS TV

EPICLY LATER'D VOLUME 1 DVD OUT DECEMBER 9TH! I first met Daewon the day I was filming the Alex Olson episode. I saw him and Daniel Castillo from across the Girl skatepark and was kinda fanning out in my head a little bit. Then Alex yells over, "Do an episode on Daewon!" and they all start laughing. I was sure they were making fun of me. But then Daewon flips the script and starts making fun of Alex like, "How are you gonna have an Epicly Later'd? So far it's been all established guys like Hosoi, Gonz, Dustin... dudes that have all paid their dues, and now you?" I couldn't believe that Daewon even watched the show. It was mind blowing.

Recently Congolese rebels led by a pro-Tutsi Jesus freak named General Nkunda seized control of Virunga National Park at the top right corner of the DRC, where it borders Rwanda and Uganda. Virunga is home to roughly of a quarter of the world's population of the extremely endangered mountain gorillas. In fact, we agreed so hard that we decided to go to Uganda with Edun Live in order to see some living mountain gorillas for ourselves. This is our story.

WATCH THE ENTIRE SERIES - http://www.vbs.tv/shows.php?show=1740131486 In the late 80s, a bunch of skaters who were bored in the wintertime inadvertently made snowboarding what it is today. They filmed each other not with any sort of historic legacy in mind, but just because that’s what you do when you’re a bunch of dudes who ride around on a piece of fiberglass in the snow all day. Then people saw these videos and started to realize the potential for tricks and big air on a snowboard, and everything else took off from there. For whatever reason, most snowboarders have never embraced their forerunners with the same enthusiasm as skaters and surfers. That’s why I decided to make this show—as a way of giving credit to the people who took snowboarding from a fringe hobby to something people get paid stupid amounts of money to do. Or at least that’ll be the first few episodes. We’ll see where it goes from there.

WATCH THE WHOLE SERIES AT: VBS.tv - NOW!!! This series is about 24 hours in Helmand, Afghanistan's most violent province. I was with the Queen's Company- British soldiers who normally guard Buckingham Palace. Their job was to train the Afghan National Army, whilst fighting the Taliban, an almost impossible combination. On this day we were ambushed late in the morning, then surrounded in a small house belonging to a terrified Afghan family. The battle to get out of the house lasted eight hours. The two most senior soldiers there, both veterans of Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo and Northern Ireland, agreed that it was the most intense day they had ever experienced. One of them has since been awarded a Military Cross. I spent two months in Afghanistan, and I'm sure that what I saw in Helmand is going on in many other parts of the country. We could be there for decades. - Ben Anderson

When we first heard about the National Surf League and the Red Bull Riders Cup, our response was something along the lines of Oh [not looking up from the computer], high school kids in surf teams surfing against each other in some sort of surf competition? I dont know, not the most amazing thing in the world, but could be decent. Because we are sports, we agreed to go out to Hermosa Beach and film it, thinking maybe itd be good for an episode of Americana or some Hi Shredability bonus crap. Nothing major. Then we got there and instantly became so wrapped up in all the teenage drama that by the time we looked at our watches, we realized we had shot an entire series and grown long scraggly beards. It was like the surfing equivalent of getting sucked into a Sunday afternoon Degrassi marathon.
