Who says that video games are a waste of time? Everybody...well, everybody who thinks young people are lazy degenerates. But the truth is that video games can teach you plenty about succeeding in life. Here are just a few of the lessons you'll learn from all those hours playing Xbox, Playstation and Wii U in your bro cave.

1. If at first you don't succeed...

Nobody beats a video game on the first try. Would you even want to play a game so easy that you never had any setbacks?

There's no "NBA 2K"-style rookie mode in the real world, but if you keep your goals in mind, you'll achieve 'em eventually.

2. Co-op beats going it alone

Video games are better with cooperative play. Helping friends triumph over "Halo" or "Borderlands 2" is ultimately more fun than kicking their asses at some fighting game.

The lesson here is that it's OK to depend on others. Acknowledge when you need help, whether you're stuck on a boss level or a homework assignment. Trying to handle matters on your own will just result in frustration and failure. You need a wingman, whether he's talking you up to girls at the bar or watching your back at "Double Dragon."

3. Learn to adapt

Video games force you to switch up your strategy when your go-to methods no longer work. What do you do when your dive-kick cheese in "Street Fighter IV" gets foiled? Change your play style so you don't get destroyed.

Life is all about adaptability. For example (this goes out to the new grads out there), odds are you'll find it difficult to land your first job in whatever field you majored in...but what did you minor in? What other skills do you have? Ever thought about teaching English abroad or starting your own business?

Things rarely go according to plan, so be flexible enough to come up with a new one.

4. Cheat if you absolutely must

The other "players" applying to your desired entry-level job are probably embellishing their resumes, so make your internship sound more rigorous than it actually was. Did you copy and file paper most days? Turn that into "assisted staff in maintaining sensitive internal documents."

Just remember: perks and paid boosters in video games might give you an edge, but in everyday matters bending the rules will probably catch up to you. Game over.

Bicyclists can be real pains (even if they are environmentally friendly), slowing down traffic when they aren't hogging sidewalks. However, we can't condone running them over with a car...and we especially can't condone tweeting about such a crime like this British driver apparently did:

"Bloody cyclists" might be literal in her case. Fortunately the guy lived without suffering any major injuries, but the road-raging girl might be in for some pain...because local police contacted her using the same 140-character-or-less medium on which she seemingly confessed.

Back in the mid-'90s, "Street Fighter II" was the most popular video game around, and it spawned countless imitators...perhaps none more infamous than Shaq's "Shaq-Fu," which pitted the basketball legend against various supernatural monsters from another dimension. Which actually sounds awesome in theory, but not so much in execution.

Making a sequel would be as ludicrous as making a sequel to "Kazaam," but Shaq has registered a trademark for something called "Shaqfighter." What the hell is this? Could it possibly be a long-awaited (by nobody) follow-up? Geekosystem is on the case...

You've seen 'em around: Pinkberry, Peachwave, Orangeleaf, Onionring...they're popping up everywhere, slinging that sweet frozen yogurt. Many women love it, so a fro-yo parlor is a great first date spot or after-dinner destination.

But you might find them intimidating. After all, these aren't exactly biker bars. With that in mind, here's how to eat frozen yogurt like a man.

1. Abuse The Samples

These can be your appetizer or the entire meal, depending on your budget and the establishment. Some dispensaries offer a self-serve stack of paper cups, and you're free to go to town on your own. Run the gamut, pile it high, let that coiled tower lean for a moment and then pop it like a Jell-O shot!

Other places have stricter regulations, requiring staff to dole out the samples like nuthouse nurses making sure you've swallowed your pills. You can occasionally sulk or charm your way into getting these rules relaxed. Fro-yo employees are usually busy, overworked or just don't care--because they probably have a Bachelor's degree, and this is their life--so even slight resistance to the rules may result in a quiet, "Whatever."

2. Compare The Flavors

The most confident (yet still cost-averse) among us will take the connoisseur approach, complimenting the staff on their level-headed restraint as they hand over the baby food-sized samples, remarking on the taste and texture of each flavor, speculating on choice candy and topping pairings. This Cappuccino would go well with Heath crumbles, the connoisseur murmurs between licks of the plastic spoon.

3. Fill Up The Tank

You've had your fill of samples; now it's time to load up your bucket. Some keep it basic, just a simple base of vanilla or chocolate. Others have a go-to combination, such as a classic swirl or a Neapolitan medley.

True heroes, however, take a squirt of each flavor (maybe skipping the coconut) and mix them all up, just like when you fill a fountain soda with a Coke-Sprite-Barq's-Crush mix. Some Little League teams called this the "Trash Can." It results in a surprisingly complex brown sludge, the manliest of colas and the manliest of fro-yos.

4. Top It Off

It's time to hit the candy and toppings bar. Remember, the final price is calculated by weight, so you'll want to concentrate on the lightest (yet most flavorful) toppings. Gummy worms, while delicious, should be avoided for this reason. On the other hand, Butterfinger chunks are flaky and rich and therefore a good value.

Self-serve topping bars are ideal. Otherwise you have to request things like "cookie crumbles" or "cotton candy" with a straight face. The fro-yo industry has yet to come around to providing more Guy-centric accoutrements, like bacon bits or jerky shavings.

5. Pay And Get Outta There

It can be difficult to resist a bite while you wait, your creation melting because the couple in front of you can't make up their minds. Alternately, you might be suddenly disgusted by your gluttony, overwhelmed by the stickiness of everything around you, the sweetness and bright Wonka colors. Plenty of patrons have abandoned their fro-yo at the last moment for a breath of fresh air or a strong drink.

It's often said that guys are visually stimulated while ladies are turned on by emotional connection, but that's not necessarily true...and it doesn't stop us from sending dirty phone messages anyway.

We're hardly experts on this art form like Richard Johnson, Penis Photographer, but we know that most sexts--like most artistic endeavors--are terrible and embarrassing. Here are ways you can screw the sext pooch before even pressing "send."

1. Opening With Your Penis

Don't start with the main event; you have to build up to it with a little flirting, maybe an explicit text message, to make sure the mood is set before bombarding her with a picture of your holiest of holies. If she's not open to this kind of exchange, she'll gasp in a bad way when her phone flashes a glowing picture of your meat and potatoes.

2. Sending It Before Lunchtime

If she just got to the office, then send her roses--that's spontaneous and romantic. Sending a text about how you wanna get in dem guts before she's had a chance to finish her morning coffee? Not so much. This is a nighttime game.

3. Sending It To The Wrong Girl

This should be obvious, but it's easier to mess up than you'd think. You're pretty s***faced, probably, and it can be hard to think straight when you're trying to get in the bone zone. Check the recipient, and then check it again, and check it one more time for good measure...because "Monica" is dangerously close in your contacts list to "Mom."

4. Taking a S***ty Pic

Ask a former congressman or two, and they'll tell you that quality is everything. Don't just send the first random shot of your downtown bonanza. Put your best boner forward. Get the lighting right, find the perfect angle and do a little manicuring. Because if this photo sucks, you can't untag yourself in her mind.

Boobs should always be in the news (and we don't just mean those ones in Congress). Luckily, they have been of late.

Last week saw Angelina Jolie reveal intimate details of her double mastectomy. Then, The New York Times spotlighted performance artist Holly Van Voast and her bare-chested activism (we never knew we liked performance art so much). Even Playboy just released an "Ultimate History of Boobs" and, no, it wasn't simply a complete collection of every single issue they've ever published.

All these boobs in the news have made our friends at Nerve.com take note. In a piece called "Why Are Boobs So Fascinating?," writer Kate Hakala tries to answer that most important eternal question.  She talks about the history of boobs, some famous ones, and even discusses her own ample pair.

How far would you go for a chance to sleep with Daenerys Targaryen? Would you walk across a desert? How about fight in a battle? Would you double-cross your allies, cut off their heads and bring them to her in a burlap sack as she soaks in a bath?

That's what Daario Naharis did for her in last night's "Game of Thrones" and Jon Gabrus thinks that's a pretty baller move. You could argue that's a clear violation of Bros Before Hoes. Yet, as we learned from Charlamagne last season, that's an antiquated code. There is more to consider than just the fact they're your bros. For example, do they want to kill your lady crush? Well, then you might have to behead them. Metaphorically.

Watch and learn as Gabrus (now with a stately summer mustache) breaks down this week's Most Guy Code Moment.

Here's a good rule to live your life by: Never mouth off to a former boxing world champion unless you are also a former boxing world champion.

It's been a while since Rocky Lockridge earned the WBA super featherweight championship by knocking out Roger Mayweather in the first round, but it looks like he hasn't lost his punch. It's hard to hear what's being said in the video; but judging by the unknown man's body language, he decided it was a good idea to insult Lockridge to his face. A decision the dumbass has to regret making.

We don't know why the man started to launch verbal abuse at Lockridge. Maybe he drank too much of whatever was in that 16oz can he was carrying? Whatever the reason, don't pick a fight with a former world champion. Even if he hasn't fought professionally in several years, even if he's been struggling with health problems, you just shouldn't do it.

Unless, of course, you want to get knocked out in about .2 seconds.

The Hangout Music Festival won the weekend and became our new favorite warm weather event. In a genius move, it combines two of the greatest things on earth, live music and sexy ladies in bikinis. How did this revelation not come to music festival promoters earlier? All outdoor events from now on should be hosted on beachfront property: renaissance fairs, hotdog eating contests, book fairs, etc. Each would be improved by the presence of women in bikinis. Below are photos of our favorite sexy ladies enjoying the music and sun.
