* AlienGeometries: Slow down the time dilation and pull on something with max strength, and it will inevitably warp into a mess of polygons, referred to by the boys as "God Trash." Notable examples include a train that extends forever, a Motorcycle Wheel Rim that contains visions of another universe, and a pair of Lovemaking Busto 2.0s being warped into a map encompassing "dude ocean" that births new universes.

"[=Car Boys=]" is a once-a-week web series starring Griffin [=McElroy=] of {{WebVideo/Monster Factory}} fame and Nick Robinson (another Polygon employee) as they play/destroy the game VideoGame/BeamNG. Making use of the game's advanced soft-body physics, the two of them have many adventures with high-speed crashes, accompanied by the crash-test dummy [[CompanionCube Busto.]]

The humor is very similar in style to {{WebVideo/MonsterFactory}}, but with the added flavor that high-octane destruction provides.
