Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 38)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, Happy Typing! And some other stuff, but mostly Happy Typing! I mean college, potions, gay marriage and the best Table Top episode about trains are all important and cool, but HAPPY TYPING!

• First off, Elmify reminisces about college, and points out the potential danger of benches (although in my mind benches have always been party to pretty good moments). 
• Next Rosanna Pansino makes skittle vodka - Diablo 3 potions, which I thought were pretty cool (and possibly cooler than the game itself).
• Then John Green delve's into religion and gay marriage.
• Next Ze Frank suggests ways to chase the happy! (But seriously, happy typing, always happy typing!)
• Finally from great moments in Table Top, Wil Wheaton is joined by Colin Ferguson, Amy Dallen, and Anne Wheaton. The game is a lot of fun, but there's a moment in this game that lives on in table banging infamy. (Not like that you dirty dirty people). - Also the Seattle Calgaries, what a team! All these videos live in my favourites, but this one is honestly one of the best!

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 33)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get to be nerdy (I know, what a surprise!). Video games, video game music, being Felicia Day and being at that end of undergraduate education.

• The first video in this volume is from that time when Jeff Cannata answered my question on the (now sadly defunct) Weekend Confirmed video extras. This question came in light of Mass Effect 3's rather botched ending and so I was interested in what games the WC crew thought did their endings right.
• The next video is an a cappella (and humorous) version of the "Theme from the Dark World", from the "Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" by Demon Tomato Dave. It's a dark place and menacing.
• Next, another in the a cappella (although not humorous) vein, is a cover of the over world 1-1 theme from "Super Mario Bros". This one is from csvy (who only has the one video and hasn't updated his blog in 3 years).
• The fourth video in this volume is the first edition of Felicia Day's Flog. In this one she learns how to be a blacksmith (well sort-of).  
• Finally Elmify goes over her plan in light of being rejected from med school. Most important:  Step 47: Wind Machine. (Spoilers: she's doing pretty well, even if she does seem to suffer from graditise.) As always I'm astounded by her editing.

Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 20)

In this volume of my favorite YouTube videos we have video game playing, vlogs an a short ad (which I don't get paid for, I should note).

• The first video is part 11 of Chuggaconroy's Let's Play of Mother 3. I have to confess first that I'm not entirely sure why I favorited this particular video and I think I recommend that if you're interested you start with the first video in the series (since this is rather in the middle of things).
  
  Mother 3 is quite an odd game, created by Shigesato Itoi it is the sequel to Earthbound (which was Mother 2 in japan). It's an RPG for the Gameboy Advance (after having been converted from a scrapped Nintendo 64 game. For a video game though, especially and RPG it's very interesting in how many topics it tackles and how deep a view it takes on life. It was never released in North America and as such Chugga is playing on a fan translated patch.
  
  Chuggaconroy's Let's Play of this game is quite good (although I think he's improved his videos over the years, these older ones show him being very young). And given that it's really a landmark video game I think the whole series is worth a watch.
• The next video is a vlogbrothers video in which John looks at some of the questions the people have asked google lately.
• The next video is also from John Green, vlogbrother. In this he talks about nerdfighteria, sports and a little book that he can't figure out the name for yet.
• Next we have a video from the incredibly talented Elmify. In this video she talks about home-made gifts and how some things just aren't quite the same as you grow up. I find her videos phenomenally well paced and when you consider the amount of work she actually has to do to put them together they're quite incredible. I recommend you look up more of them, but don't be surprised that you'll see her here again.
• The final video in this set is an ad / promotional video that Kater17 made for Mountain Dew Pitch Black. It's a bit slow to start, but it's creative, kinda fun and the effects work is really good.
