Tested

Adam and Will geek out over Adam's new microscope by putting as many different things as they can think of underneath it, including money, magazines, food, and even Will's beard. Things get pretty weird at that point.

The beloved Wall-E robot was just computer generated graphics in the Pixar movie, but fans have spent years trying to bring him to life. We visit Mike McMaster's workshop to see his incredible life-size Wall-E, a remote controlled robot that lives among an R2-D2 droid and other pets on Mike's orange farm.

For this week's Show and Tell, Norm shares the different bags he's been testing to keep his camera gear organized and always at the ready when traveling to conventions and other events.

Tested brings you videos about all the stuff you love -- amazing technology, unbelievable maker projects, engineering masterpieces, delicious food, magical special effects, and much more. Our goal is to tell the stories of the people who are working to build the future.

Tested is about all the stuff we love too. We are Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Norman Chan, and Will Smith. If you'd like to know more about what we do, the best way to find out is to start watching. Check out the playlists below, visit Tested.com, or subscribe to the channel. Enjoy!

Friday brings another edition of the MakerBot Mystery Build! This week, Will has the MakerBot build something that most of you should recognize. The print is bottom heavy but the finished item is surprisingly structurally sound. Place your best guess as to what's being printed in the comments!

We get up close with two iconic movie props from awesome movies: the M314 Motion Tracker from Aliens and a Ghost Trap from Ghostbusters 2. Prop Store's Stephen Lane and Brandon Alinger walk us through the history of these props and how they were used on screen.

At Comic-Con? Check. Have a Chewie costume? Check. Adam dresses up as his favorite non-human character to be inducted into the 501st Legion: the largest international fan organization for Star Wars cosplayers.

Will and Norm sit down to review the HTC One Google Play Edition, an unlocked Android phone that has just about the best hardware you can find on a smartphone today. Here's how the Google Play Edition of this phone differs from HTC's version and how its performance compares to the Nexus 4 and iPhone 5.

(The wallpapers on the HTC One and Nexus 7 are photos I took and can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/normanchan/sets/721576342982...)

Even though the starships of the new Star Trek movie were computer generated, the film paid homage to practical props with miniature starship cameos. Quantum Mechanix made those props for the production, and we chat with their Cinema Arts division at Comic-Con to learn about building those models and how fans will be able to buy them.

This week, Adam, Will, and Norm discuss Pacific Rim in this spoiler-laden special edition of Still Untitled. Enjoy!

Will brings a piece of his home 72-hour emergency kit for this week's Show and Tell. It's another piece of lighting equipment, but unlike an expensive LED flashlight, this is a low-cost solar powered lantern that's effective for illuminating rooms during power outages.

This week, Will & Norm are joined by Jeremy Williams, to discuss Arduino programming, the new Nexus 7, Google's Chromecast, Xbox self-publishing, porn, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

Will plays the upcoming Fantasia: Music Evolved music game based on the classic Disney movie. Special Comic-Con appearance by Harmonix's John Drake! If only we brought along some Diet Coke.

We sneaked into Comic-Con before the doors opened to the public to check out the amazing collectibles from Sideshow. From a collection of Iron Man suits to a new StarCraft II marine figure, we learn about how much attention is paid to these highly-detailed scale figures and statues.

Adam, Will, and Norm get together while in San Diego for Comic-Con to discuss Comic-Con 2013, W00tstock 5.0, Adam Incognito, the best cosplay they saw at the show, and a whole lot more.

We took submissions for this project on our last nationwide tour & online. We received somewhere between 150-250 geek girl videos, as well as some from some awesome prominent geeks: Kelly Sue Deconnick, Amy Berg, John Scalzi, Josh A. Cagan, Adam Savage, Paul & Storm, Wil Wheaton, Marian Call & more. Thank you to EVERYONE who made this possible!

The video was directed and edited by Angela Webber (of the Doubleclicks.) The video concept is by Josh A. Cagan and the Doubleclicks, and was inspired by the book trailer for "Dear Teen Me."

Lyrics:
I entered this scene through rejection and honesty
Nerds weren't mean, they were weird and that worked for me
After 10 years of teasing when social skills failed me
Dungeons & Dragons cured all that ailed me

We read books, we played games, we made art, we watched Lost
We said things like "D20", "shipping" and "Mana cost"
It felt good to be myself, not being mocked
Still self-conscious, though, we whispered things about jocks

But one day, you grow up, come into your own
Now geek's not rejection - it's a label I own
Then ignorant haters come to prove me wrong
Tell me I'm not nerdy enough to belong

I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove

Fake Geek Girl test - that's a funny one, go ahead
How many comic books are there I haven't read?
I know it feels good to have a contest you win
It would feel even better if I wanted in

So women aren't geeks, so is that your conclusion?
That this is some secret club based on exclusion?
12-year-old dorks would say you're being selfish
And then they'd go write in their journals in Elvish

I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove

I've got cred but honestly, I shouldn't need it
This world needs all kinds of folks to complete it
You've got gamers, and artists and comic subscribers
Cosplayers, crafters and fan-fiction writers

You can stop - never say "fake geek" again
Our club needs no bouncers - all who want in get in
But go ahead, if you want, to own that role fully
I ain't got nothing to prove to a bully!

I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove

Haters are gonna hate

Will, Norm, and Joey take to the road as they drive to Comic-Con 2013. Ride along with the guys as they sample road delicacies, view wildlife, and reminisce about Comic-Cons past, while they realize the horrible truth about the Con.

If you couldn't make it to Comic-Con this year, here's Jamie and Adam's entire panel from Friday evening. Wil Wheaton moderated while Jamie and Adam chatted about the future of Mythbusters and having fun with Tested, followed up a great q&a session with attendees. Be sure to stay to the end!

Adam recruited over 75 fans to cosplay as him at Comic-Con 2013. Here's a teaser of what the Adams were able to do. We'll have the full video from the flash mob up next week at http://www.tested.com

It's Friday, which means it's time for another MakerBot Mystery Build! This week, Will uses the MakerBot to create something that racks his mind. It's not something as simple as Tetris, but place your best guess as to what's being printed in the comments below!

The road trip is finished; Will and Norm finally get to Comic-Con! After settling into their rooms, the Tested team begins exploring the streets of San Diego and roams the show floor during Preview Night. We'll be here for the next four days along with Adam, so stay tuned for our videos from Comic-Con 2013!

If you have something to ask Jamie, email podcast@tested.com with "Questions for Jamie" in the subject line!

In this episode of Ask Jamie, a "viewer" wants to know about Jamie's involvement with Battlebots and other killer death robots. Jamie talks about his strategy building Blendo, his massively destructive robot.

For the week of Comic-Con, Norm shares his latest geeky acquisition: an Iron Man Mark VII collectible figure. Made by the same company that made the awesome 18-inch Iron Monger figure and 1/6th scale Tumbler Batmobile, this highly-detailed toy is made for adults who just haven't grown up.

Will and Norm open a package sent in by a reader. The package contains three items, all with one common theme. It's a surprisingly topical edition of the Tested Mailbag!
