Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 82)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get musical, argue with ourselves and then soar to greater heights.

  • First, we have two entries in the ongoing chap-hop fight between Professor Elemental and Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer. At some point I think I had a grasp on which videos were in response to which, but now we just have these two which are (as you might guess from the post) my favourites. Either way it seems these two have been at it a long time.
  • Then to calm down a little, let's go with Brentalfloss (and some of his fans) to help Mario get to a date with Peach.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 81)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we ask some questions about the nature of the universe.

  • First, what happens if you combine the awesomeness of the Duck Tales Moon Theme and Smooth McGroove? Well you get a lot of awesome in one place. Possibly enough to look at the asymptotic limits of awesomeness. 
  • Next, what happens if Kristina Horner and her roommates get a bunch of costumes really cheap? This... apparently.
  • Finally, what happens if the Internet talks about video games. Well lots of stuff, but here RinryGameGame looks at all the over analysis that happens.

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 79)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we look at the Internet from its GIFability, its weight and its smoothness.

  • First, Gunnarolla has noticed that Tessa Violet and Nanalew are so GIFable and he wrote a song about it.
  • Next, Michael Stevens from VSauce talks at TED-Ed, looking to answer the question, how much does a video weigh and looking to see what asking that question means to us.
  • Finally, for those of you who might have though that Mr. Smooth McGroove only communicates through the medium of video game sound tracks, he disproves this notion communicating through the medium of talk-singing.

Giant Bugs and Staying on Top of Things

Into the Breach, Subset Games, 2018   This is a mix of obvious video game tactics and their obvious implications for getting things done. I&...
