Inside Colombia's Temple of Lucifer [VICE INTL]

Víctor Damián Rozo claims to be the very son of the devil and has built a temple in Colombia dedicated to worshiping Satan. More than ten years ago, Rozo renounced his Catholic religion to give his life to Lucifer, who he considers to be the only true god.

Since then, his mission has been to recruit Luciferian parishioners, congregate them in his temple, and link their souls with the devil.

On this episode of 'VICE INTL,' we traveled to Rozo's temple to be initiated in a bombastic ceremony of satanist purification.

Dominick's European Car Repair Is A Living Legacy

If you are someone who lives in the greater New York area, cares about classics, and haven’t heard of Dominick European Car Repair, we have to assume you are lying about one of the aforementioned.

Like Ben & Jerry’s is to the Vermont Ice Cream Community, Dominick European Car Repair is the cornerstone of the New York Classic Community.

Since Dominico Spadro, a Sicilian immigrant, opened its doors "back in the days when these exotic vintage cars were just cars" (1961) they have been helping Petrolistas across the North East keep their classics on the road. In addition they've built a worldwide following for their world class campaign support on rallies like The Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Colorado Grand and more. They are, without questions, legends of the classic world.

Here's Why You Should Stop Memorizing Your Passwords [Vox]

Have you ignored advice on using password managers? This video is for you.

Every time a big company is hacked, like when Yahoo got hacked in 2016 and exposed the personal info of over 1 billion accounts, experts tell us to stop trying to memorize all of our password and to use a password manager instead.

A password manager is basically a virtual safe where you can safely store all of your passwords. Since when you use a password manager you don't have to remember every single password anymore, you can make them really long and complicated. Your passwords are also encrypted so even if your password manager gets hacked, all of the individual passwords stored within are safe from hackers.

Rogue One: 46 Shots Not In The Final Film

Vashi Nedomansky isolated 46 individual shots that were shared in the promotional material but never made the final cut of the film.

Though a lot of the scenes from the trailers, teasers, TV spots and promos didn’t make the final film, thanks to the vigilant eye of editor Vashi Nedomansky, we can see all of the clips together in the video above.

The World's Largest 'Jerry Maguire' VHS Collection [VICE]

In January 2017, a new video store opened in Los Angeles that only stocks 14,000 copies of Jerry Maguire on VHS — none of which are available for rent or purchase.

Masterminded by video art collective Everything is Terrible, which began amassing this collection over 8 years ago, this "store" is functionally intended to be more of a hallucinatory, immersive experience.

To bring finality to their burdensome obsession, their next goal is to construct a permanent place to house their "Jerrys"; a giant pyramid in the Nevada desert.

When The Mountains Were Wild: A Freeride Journey To The Albanian Alps

On the search for mountain wilderness in Europe a crew of five snowboarders/skiers/filmmakers drove down from Austria through several Balkan countries and witnessed the debris of the Yugoslavian war for the first time.

Their destination was the incredibly beautiful and wild Valbona Valley where time had seemed to stand still for a long time. After studying vague maps, checking weather conditions they found themselves on a 25km hike to a promising looking zone in the heart of these mountains and came to a stop in a little abandoned shepherd hut.

Six days of heavy snowstorm later the crew woke up in Freeride heaven and enjoyed a well-earned magic day in the snow. Watch the movie and see what more craziness our team faced on this wonderful journey.

Mitch Tölderer and Whiteroom Productions present `When the mountains were wild´.

Winner of the Jones Adventure Grand 2015 & Winner of Mountainfilm Graz Kamera Alpin in Gold for best Austrian movie.

A Look into the Bizarre World of Christian Comics [VICE]

On this episode of 'The VICE Guide to Comics,' we dive deep into the world of religious illustrator Jack T. Chick's Christian comics, which became the most distributed comic book series in the world.

Chick saw his Chick Tracts as a tool to recruit the "unsaved," and the comics are full of what many consider to be hate speech. Thankfully VICE art editor Nick Gazin is back to teach you about them so you never have to pick one up yourself.
