Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 104)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, fight bugs and we look at how to come together, both online and offline.

  • First, in a follow up to a video his about what to do with YouTube, Kevin Gisi, takes a more serious look at what the options are to replace YouTube. He may not have had what he needed in pocket, but I am glad (as I said last time) that Subbable and Patreon came to exist and while they haven't solved all of the problems I think it's better for creators and fans today than it was back then.
  • Next, Adam Savage shows off his favourite video game and discovers that as soon as anyone films you playing a game your skill immediately drops off by about 90%.
    • Finally, The City of Calgary, put together a video to thank all of the volunteers and the city that came out to help put peoples homes and the city back together after the flood here in 2013.  Not going to lie, I may have cried into my coffee cup rewatching this one.

      Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 89)

      In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we push through all our barriers!

      • First, we can fight through anything, so long as we have Mr. Smooth McGroove preforming Decisive Battle from Final Fantasy VI behind us. This one gives me chills and I think that's a mix between my own Super Nintendo memories and just how nicely 16-bit music fits Mr.McGroove's style. 
      • Next, we can journey anywhere, so long as we have Mr. CalebElijah preforming Diddle's Organ from Legend of Mana behind us.
      • Finally, we can do anything so long as we work together. This video is from the Calgary Stampede and shows a little of the work that had to be done to get the Stampede back up and running in less than a month after the flood of June 2013.

      This is the second new monthly games post . I'm not feeling very settled in what anything means. The book posts have some basic stats...
