Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 151)

In this volume of my Favourite YouTube Videos, we save our bees, celebrate our lab techs and lament the passing of time.

• First, if you're feeling like you've heard too many sad, weird or creepy Greek myths lately, Dael Kingsmill is here to tell you a touching story about a guy and his bees. Well it's still weird, but what can you do?
• Next we have a moment of thanks from Periodic Videos for their awesome lab tech Neil. 
• Finally, Laura Shigihara plays her cover of Chrono Trigger's Corridor's of Time, The Fall and as usual raises all the hair on my arms with this song.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 115)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we go to school, learn some chemistry and get our axe ready for dancing.

• First, Laura Shigihara is ready for her first day of high school, singing the theme she wrote for the game High School Story.
• Next, we get a chance to watch 500 videos of Periodic Videos ... or at least to celebrate them.
• Finally, we get to listen to an instrumental piece created by the one and only Brentalfloss.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 103)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we have to move, have to run and have to sing!

• First, on Periodic Videos we watch as Prof. Poliakoff prepares to leave one of the labs his group has used for a very long time. As a person who gets very attached to places and things I understand his feelings. Even when it's the right thing to do sometimes moving on is hard.
• Next,  let Mr. Smooth McGroove pick up your spirits as he races to eat everything he can see.
• Finally,  because doing largely unrelated projects when you should be working on your thesis, is totally foreign to me *cough cough*, I'd like to present AcapellaScience singing about String Theory to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody. 

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 84)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we save the world (twice!), look at how to make a movie look great forever and then we burn things in the coolest way.

• First, we have SuperJeenius's Let's Plays of Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
  
  I'm not sure I made it clear ever, but this series of blog posts is based on all of the videos I've favourited and sometimes me-from-the-past seems set to make my job harder. This volume has been one of the problems where that's been the case. I found a bunch of videos in the list and I don't know why I liked them, so a lot of them got tossed. Then I had Episode 37 of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, which is interesting but makes no sense being halfway through the second game. So I don't know what me-from-the-past thought about this video or why it ended up in the favourites.
  
  I can say that both Let's Plays are very good and SuperJeenius's style makes a Let's Play very entertaining and engaging. So I'm going to throw the playlist for the first game in here and leave it up to you if you make it all the way to Episode 37 of the second game.
• Next, Adam Savage talks with Will on Still Untitled about the special effects on Blade Runner and why almost nothing else measures up.
• Finally, we get some slow motion action watching what happens when you drop embers into liquid oxygen, from Brady Haran and the team at Periodic Videos.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 83)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we look at the unexpected. Canada and the US don't have a straight border, and the barking dog actually bounces. Also we unexpectedly channel Hello Internet.

• First C.G.P. Grey, has an interested in weird boarders and even though it seems simple, the Canada-US boarder is a weird one. 
• Next Brady Haran has a video on Periodic Videos about one of the cooler demonstrations that they do at the University of Nottingham, the Barking Dog and how it doesn't work at all the way they thought it did. First we have the video itself then he shows the behind the scenes of how the video was made.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 80)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get stron, get angry and then get calm.

• First, Mr. Smooth McGroove would like you to know about his strenth. His STRENTH. His SUPER HUMAN STRENTH. 
• Next, Hank Green is angry. Angry about 17 different things at the same time. So he takes four minutes to let us all know.
• Finally, Brady Haran does an experiment while walking out of the earth's atmosphere. His trip to Everest Base Camp offers a chance to illustrate how the boiling point of water drops as you go up in altitude (even if the Professor has some critiques on his technique). It also offers one of the most beautiful and calming views of our earth.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 61)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get back around to Christmas, chill out and celebrate the end of the rad!

• The first video is the Chemistry Christmas Tree from Periodic Videos. I love the community vibe of the University of Nottingham, School of Chemistry, and how you see students and researchers gathering together for a moment to show off what they love. (Also nice instrumental Christmas music)
• I love how the two halves of Pomplamoose make music thats just as awesome on their own as they are together even though they're in totally different genres. Here Nataly Dawn chills out and Dances.
• Finally, four rad dudes got together and made us the very final episode of the Totally Rad Show. (Warning, this is over an hour long!)
