Getting Excited, Making Things

Tuesday, October 20, 2015

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we sing our victory, answer questions and then absolutely nothing creepy happens at all.

First, let's celebrate our victories with Mr. Smooth McGroove singing the victory fanfare from Final Fantasy VII.

Next, remember when John Green made a movie? No, not that movie. No, not that one either (I'm not even sure that one's real). Yeah, that's the one. Anyway, here he answers questions about it.

Finally, Scott Tumilty talks about some good Halloween video games on Geek and Sundry Vlogs. Nothing to worry about here ... no ... not at all ...

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we face life and death, obsession and the limited resources of language.

First, we have Brentalfloss's Zidane to Vivi original song. I was going to say that I don't remember liking the music to Final Fantasy IX so much, but then I realized that (I'm pretty sure) this is 100% original Brentalfloss composition. Yay 100% Brentalfloss composition.

Next, Kevin Gisi talks about his obsessions and then invents a British person to read the news...

Finally, Gunarolla was asked to sing a song without repeating words, which he could do without any detectable problem at all...

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we accidentally the whole ... food!

First, Kevin Gisi tackles the dreaded, I don't know what to make a video about video. As it turns out most issues are complex and there are a lot of ways to look at them. I like the idea of sticking to a schedule (he said as all his deadlines sailed past) because it forces you to keep going and not to get stuck on things, but there's also something to be said for getting things done as well as you can when you get them done. I guess that's why there are two models of Patreon funding.

Finally, we recently watched AcapellaScience set string theory to Bohemian Rhapsody, but in case you're still looking for nerdy content in the from of incredibly long rock songs, here Pat the NES Punk and Brentalfloss present us with: Nintendohemian Rhapsody.

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get excited about Mars, Star Wars and the Internet!

First, on Sci Show, Hank Green gets excited about finding water in the soil of Mars. It's funny then that as I'm posting this, we just discovered that there are flows of liquid water across the surface of Mars. (So you can watch Hank get excited about water on mars again in about 75 more favourites posts.

Next the people at Sincerely Truman, lay down some rules for Mr. Abrams on what's essential to make Star Wars good. I think the rules are pretty good ones, and I'm cautiously optimistic that the new movies will follow these.
