Digital Trends’ top 5 viral videos for December 31, 2010

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

No top 5 videos next week due to our ongoing CES coverage, but we will return in two weeks.


A Blizzard, Seen Over 20 Hours

Recommended Videos

As you may have heard, or perhaps even experienced, the Northeast recently received a bit of snow. A whole, huge, bit of snow. Several feet of it. So, ok, probably more than a bit. In the video below, the storm is seen through a time lapse camera that- well, it is snow piling up, there really isn’t much more explanation needed, but it is an amazing reminder at how nature just kinda tolerates us–most of the time.


Creepy Taiwanese News Station Recreates the Accidents from the Spider-Man Musical

Even after seeing several of these, even after months have passed, no one is entirely sure if these are meant to be taken seriously or as jokes. Either way, they are creepy and kind of funny. The newest video of the bunch is highlighting the numerous accidents that have plagued the test run of the upcoming Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.


Lord Vader Probably Rides the Subway for Free

Last week we posted a Star Wars holiday special in the viral clips, but following the good cheer and all that junk, it is back to business for Darth Vader and the Imperial Forces. A comedy troop from New York decided to take the somewhat well known story of Star Wars on the road. The first stop was the New York subway.


What the 1982 Tron Holiday Special Might Have Looked Like

The Tron love is still flowing strong, despite the new movie bringing in less than Disney had hoped. In fact, it is so popular that the website Funny or Die decided to create a look at what a Tron Holiday Special, in the vein of the wildly horrible Star Wars Holiday Special, might have been like.


Xbox Kinect Fail

Yes, it may be fake, and yes, it might be somewhat mean. And yet it is also awesome. It is a paradox.

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti may trail behind the RTX 4080
Power adapter on the RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card.

As we inch closer to the launch of Nvidia's RTX 50-series, new leaks keep cropping up daily. Today, one of the most prolific leakers in the PC hardware space shared a glimpse of the specs for Nvidia's upcoming RTX 5070 Ti. Although it's not the full spec sheet, one specification in particular tells us that we may be dealing with a GPU similar to the RTX 4080, which is still one of Nvidia's best graphics cards. But is that good news?

All of this is unconfirmed. Kopite7kimi is one of the accounts that most of us turn to when we want some new scoop on upcoming PC hardware, but this time, the leaker didn't post on X (Twitter), and has instead shared some specs directly with VideoCardz. Let's dig in.

I tried the RayNeo Air 2s glasses and they’re on sale for Black Friday
RayNeo Air 2s on custom Steam Deck - Briley Kenney Digital Trends_edited

With the holidays coming, I've been trying a spat of unique VR and AR devices. One pair I got my hands on, called the RayNeo Air 2s, basically gives you a portable 201-inch display that you can put on and use anytime, anywhere. They work with Android, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and -- my favorite -- Steam Deck. Our team has used the RayNeo Air 2 previously and also gave them high marks. Fun Fact I learned from reading that, RayNeo is actually a TCL brand. As for what I think of them, we'll get to that. For now, I want to talk about the crazy RayNeo Black Friday deals that have just dropped.

 
RayNeo Air 2 -- $184, was $380 51% off
