Awesome Promo: Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders do "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae

I'm not sure if this was a promo for the team or a recruitment video for Ochocinco? Either way, they took a catchy ass song and made it relevant for grown men.

Awesome Ad: Nike+ Basketball - Jus Fly @ LA Live

Shut it down! Shut it down!

Awesome Ad: Nike - The Ringmaker

Been meaning to post this one since the end of game 5. It's always hard to make ads for events that haven't happened yet. The ringmaker was a nice way for Nike to pay tribute to the centerpiece of their basketball family. But this got me thinking...they also had to have an ad ready for Durant...and since the shirts of the losing team get sent to third world countries, does the Durant ad run in those countries as well?

While we're talking about LeBron and the Heat, this ad from the NBA in their "Big" campaign was pretty good too.

Awesome Ad: Nike Football - Wayne Rooney - My Time Is Now

Love this ad for Nike Football. It reminds me of the classic emotional Nike ads that got me into advertising in the first place.

Awesome Trailer: Dark Knight Rises trailer #4

Damn, this movie looks sick. But now it's obvious that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a huge part. I just hope he's not Azrael or Robin.

Awesome Video & Cause: We Stopped Dreaming - Episode 2 (A New Perspective)

We already posted part one of this series but I could listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson talk all day. This video is the continuation of his speech on importance of NASA's Space Exploration program. If you agree with Neil, please visit Penny4NASA.org by clicking here and either sign the petition to raise NASA's budget to 1% of US budget or donate.

While we're on the topic, here's another great video that would not have been made if it weren't for the dreams that NASA provides.

Awesome Photos: On Earth as It Is in Star Wars

Amazing series of shots from Cédric Delsaux. More can be seen on Architizer Blog.

Awesome Short: ESPN's 30 for 30 Short - Pete Rose Here Now

The fact that this man isn't in the Hall of Fame is a travesty.

Awesome Ad: New Era Cap - Chicago vs. Chicago Round 2

I hope this is at least a 10 round battle.

Awesome Ad: Puma - Live life, don't watch it

Watch this video and then turn off your computer and go out!

Awesome Restoration: Jaws

In an age where most studios use modern technology to redo their classic films, Universal and Steven Spielberg chose to use it to purely restore. Funny how sticking to what works is exactly it takes to be awesome!

Awesome Trailer: Prototype 2

This trailer came out way before E3, but since we're catching up on posting old bookmarks, this one still seemed relevant.

Awesome Video: Google Play

Ah yes, another video we meant to post months ago. This was a great way for Google to introduce Play. While we haven't heard much about it since then, this video on it's own is still awesome.

Awesome Sport: Shin Kicking

I'd pay to see this become an Olympic event.

Awesome Trailer: ZombiU

This is an amazing trailer for ZombiU, a Nintendo WiiU exclusive. Probably the best Wii game trailer I've ever seen. Very well done. I'm proud of my former colleagues over at Ubisoft.

And for an added bonus, here's the gameplay trailer.
