Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 93)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we geek out about stuff! (I know right, what a surprise!)

  • It's Comic-Con time, at least it was back in 2013 when I favourited these two videos from tested.com. First we have Adam and Jamie's panel from SDCC (hosted by Wil Wheaton) where they talk for an hour about what keeps them interested and what they want to do.
  • Next Adam talks to Will and Norm on Still Untiled about how SDCC 2013 was for them all.
  • Finally, not from tested but still super cool, Laura Shigihara sings the "Lament of the Highborne" from World of Warcraft.

  • First, AttackingTucans and Josh Jepson, together as Versus, present the (Abridged) story of The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. It's a little ... rude, but it's entertaining. Also, beware spoilers for Ocarina of Time, but on the plus side I don't need to replay OoT now.
  • Next, on Computerphile, Professor Brailsford takes time to explain how much you can compress information when you absolutely positively need to know what the weather in San Fransisco is, but it's terribly expensive to send each bit.
  • Finally, Hank Green talks about four real-world advancements made based on works of science fiction on SciShow.
