Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 67)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we return to the Internet of old and looks to the Internet ahead, make a box and eat a game.

  • First, Hank Green refreshes your memory on all of the Internet dance crazes you may have forgotten. Also reflects on a few potential high points for the vlogbrothers project.
  • Next, Adam Savage makes a box. Why is this a favourite? Because boxes are awesome, this box is particularly awesome and making things is cool.
  • Finally, Rosanna Pansino makes a chess board cake and edible chess pieces.

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 34)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get the rest of the launch of Geek and Sundry. meaning we get to geek out about board games and books and we'll also get the chance to geek out about cake and sex, relationships and words too.


  • The first videos in this volume are from Wil Wheaton's Table Top. Here we watch him play games with a bunch of cool people (This week, Grant Imahara, Sean Plott (Day[9]) and Jenna Busch). This show is great for the witty banter and it also let's you see people playing your favourite games or learn about cool games you may have missed. They also include some extra footage of their guests which are also pretty cool (and here we see Grant Imahara's).
  • Next up, Rossana Pansino and CourtnyPants make rainbow unicorn cake on Nerdy Nummies. (The cake does not actually contain unicorns.) If you wanted to know how to make a cake of many colours, this is a pretty good guide.
  • The next video in this volume is the inagural video episode of Sword & Laser (or The Sword & Laser ... I'm not sure they ever sorted that out). Here, Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt talk about the lastest and greatest in Sci-Fi and Fantasy books. The audio version existed long before the video one started and continues on now that the video show has run it course. They also have a strong community over on Goodreads.
  • Finally John Green talks about sex and relationships. The most important advice he gives I think is maybe the most important advice for any situation. "USE YOUR WORDS!"

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 32)

This volume of my favourite YouTube Videos we get everything we could need about video game history, dance and world history all in one awkward bundle.


  • In the first video in this volume we learn everything we need to know about Dead Space. In less than a minute. What more could you need?
  • Next up John Green teaches us everything we needed to know about Chinese history. In more than a minute. What more could you need?
  • Next Rosanna Pansino does some chair dancing to the closing credits of Plants vs Zombies (written by perennial favourite Laura Shigihara). What more could you need?
  • Finally, Husky and Kurt Hugo Schneider (and a lot of nerdy people) bring us their ... cover ... of "Sexy and I Know It". It's a little weird, but it's on this list for one very good reason: the zerging dance. First we have the video itself and then the behind the scenes. What more could you need?
