The Best Things To Do on the Internet This Weekend

Here's the funny thing about the Internet: No matter how much time you actually spend online, you will never see and experience everything the web has to offer. The sheer magnitude of videos, blogs, games, photos, social media sites and zany GIFs is far too much for one person to find on their own. So we decided to compile a handy list. Here are the best things to do on the Internet this weekend, June 22 - 23.

MTV's Making The Band 2 spawned plenty of memorable moments in television history--and inspired another one from Chappelle's Show--but perhaps the greatest of these moments came when Diddy decided that he wanted the members of his fledgling hip-hop collective, Da Band, to get him a slice of strawberry cheesecake. Specifically, a slice of strawberry cheesecake from the famous, family restaurant, Junior's, located in Brooklyn ... 12.5 miles from Puffy's Manhattan office. In commemoration of the trek's 10 year anniversary, Ryan Joseph of First We Feast decided that he'd re-create the confectionary quest. Read about his inter-borough journey here.

Robert de Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino have all had their turns at playing made men, but it's easy to make the case that, out of anyone, the recently-deceased James Gandolfini was the best to ever do it. Known primarily for his role as Tony Soprano in the iconic HBO series The Sopranos, Gandolfini embodied one of the most compelling characters in modern television history, gaining critical acclaim for the manner in which he managed the delicate, emotional balance that comes with portraying any man of great power. And like many renowned actors, Gandolfini got his chance to sit down for a chat with the legendary interviewer--and one-time pimp--James Lipton on Inside The Actor's Studio. The conversation is a can't-miss, with Gandolfini going in on a number of topics concerning his life, craft, and, most notably, how he prepared for his award-winning performances as Tony Soprano. Watch and learn from one of the best. We lost him much too soon.

So you've got a date this weekend. First off, everyone clap for him. Secondly, you need to figure out where you're going to take this lucky lady. Pro tip: don't make it one of these bars.

You never want to get left behind when it comes to cross-continental fashion, so to give you some help, James Harris over in Style has assembled a list of the five British streetwear brands that you need to be checking out. Whether it's floral prints from Joseph Turvey or denim camo courtesy of Marques ' Almeida, you don't want to arrive late on any of this gear. Peep the list here.

By many accounts, the PS4 is about to own the video game industry, and Microsoft is already shaking in its boots at the thought of having to compete. If you're hesitant to believe the hype, though, the tech team over at the Guardian here.

Black Thought has long been one of the most underrated MCs in hip-hop, deferring the spotlight of critical adoration to his more widely-known bandmate, ?uestlove. Thought deserves just as much praise, though, if not more. His lyricism is smooth, smart and witty, and his stage presence has helped make the Roots one of the most charismatic live acts in all of music. On top of that, he can also spit mad bars about Mario. Per a viewer's suggestion, the crew over at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon asked Black Thought to drop a few rhymes about our favorite plumber over in Mushroom Kingdom. Watch the video above to see what he came up with. Can we maybe get one about the Legend of Zelda next?

Instagram announced their new video feature this week, but for IGers like FriendsInFaux, this is nothing new. All you have to do is take a few pics and stitch them together into a stop-motion film like the one you see above! Easy, right? Sure, except for a fact that, in this case, "a few pics" is actually more like 1,556 individual photographs. Impressive. But some people just have waaaay too much time on their hands.

Tumblr has changed the face of Internet culture as we know it, paving the way for GIFs, memes, and a full boat of other noteworthy, digital trends. And after recently being acquired by Yahoo! for the weighty sum of $1.1 billion, you better believe that interest in the already-popular blogging platform has only picked up. If you want to learn more about it, look no further than Damien Scott's profile of the site's CEO and founder, David Karp. Scott and Karp discuss the future of Internet advertising, Tumblr, and the path that the young tech genius took to make his first billi.
