Desperate Defense: Wallet

YouTube Link: youtu.be/aCwgkDmGweE

You find yourself trapped in a high-security pawn shop when a gang of vengeful Andorians kick the door open and start accusing you of espionage. You don't know what they're talking about, but you can tell this won't end peacefully. All of the pawn items are locked up, but you happen to have brought your wallet -- with intent to buy. Do you bother using the wallet when...

Desperate Defense: Wooden Board

YouTube Link: youtu.be/CCR9S1rOHOs

Desperate Defense Week is back! We've got 4 again this time around, and we're kicking it off with a wooden board. Ready up and get in the mindset for some absolute nonsense martial arts.

You spawn in an enclosed construction site; dampened footsteps scurry over you from the floor above. Each passing step makes more obvious their hostile intentions, and the fear ...

3 Tie Knots Every Gentleman Should Know

Whether you need to flex your tie game with a suit because you're infiltrating a secret society that has a dress code, or you just have a job interview and don't want to look like a complete idiot -- this will help... as much as a tie can.

Fencing with Rapiers

Low-key this our guide to being a slacker. "It's not about maximum motion, it's about minimal effort for maximum result." "You're going to do nothing until you have to." "Enough is plenty, we don't need more."

Brian and Jason put HQ to the test... to see if it's a bonafide jedi temple.

10 Secret Hotel Hiding Spots

YouTube Link: youtu.be/Hyf0SESSJ28

Brian wakes up in an empty hotel room, chained to a radiator. A silhouette appears on an old television screen, but it's clearly Jason. In a distorted voice, "I would like to play a game, Mr. Brushwood. I have hidden 10 $100 bills, you can keep whatever you find, including... your life."

We try not to encourage use of the stretcher too much around HQ, because Jason will just do the whole, "I need orange slices and a ride on the stretcher because I am feeling... uncouth" routine again.

That's right, it's time for another installment of Project Badass. As you can see, the car hood is slathered in a sexy chef concoction and we have eager participants with no experience. Totally and completely... badass.

3 Essential Knots Everyone Should Know

YouTube Link: youtu.be/B9dKPrsSqyo

You jolt awake in a cold sweat. Rushes of air hold you suspended in the void of an inhospitable chasm. As your eyes acclimate, a single rope floats in front of you. It communicates in a language unfamiliar yet perfectly understood, "to be, or knot to be." Every moment of indecision further slips your suspension above a most agonizing demise. In what way do you proceed...

Modern Rogue LIVE on Stage at SXSW

At SXSW this year we had a special live performance of Modern Rogue during our annual South by So Wasted event, and this is a recording of that!

If you missed the live Night Attack from that event, where Jason told a story about Brian that you'll only hear on that show, you can find it here: youtu....

Signaling over 3 Miles (5 km) with a Mirror

YouTube Link: youtu.be/am2hX36FaPc

In one corner, normal-looking Brian armed with a mirror. He's torn his shirt off and smothered clay all over his body. He snarls, "Hey boss, I'm gonna kick your ass." In the other corner, we have spikey-haired Brian also armed with a mirror! He's identical in every way except for the palette swap. "I'm your worst nightmare, and incidentally, I'm my own too." That's ri...

How to Dress Like a Badass in Vintage Clothes

YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/2aGi0JZl_sE

Jason's been muttering "Nudity is wrong" under his breath ad nauseam for the past few months now. We weren't going to say anything, until we found out all of those books he's written were just hundreds of pages of Jack Torrance at a typewriter if he were obsessed with vintage pants. Letting him have run of a vintage clothes shop seemed like a good way to get i...
