Aussie Feliks Zemdegs Wins 2013 Rubik’s Cube World Championship
  |  @   |  

More than 575 competitors coming from 37 countries descended upon Las Vegas this past weekend for the 2013 Rubik’s Cube World Championship at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. At the end of the three-day speedcubing event, where some of the world’s best Rubik’s Cube solvers competed in 17 classic and non-traditional official cubing events, a winner was crowned.

Feliks Zemdegs of Australia was crowned this World Champion at this year’s Rubik’s Cube World Championship by solving the 3×3 cube with a winning time of 8.18 seconds; he also won the top spot in the 4×4 Rubik’s Cube and the One Handed 3×3 Rubik’s Cube competitions (one-handed!?!?!).

Along with the top honors, Zemdegs also received a trophy, a selection of Rubik’s Cube prizes, and $3,000 in prize money, which from the looks of it was given to him in stacks of $2 bills, which I really dig (I’m a big fan of the $2 bill).

Doom Digest: Star Wars, Taxi Driver, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man
  |  @   |  

Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.

Today: Red Letter Media targets Prometheus, Spidey plays basketball in The Amazing Spider-Man, what Taxi Driver would be like today, an exploding Rubix Cube shirt, and footage from the would-be game Super Modern Mario Bros., plus Bits Of Doom.
