Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 89)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we push through all our barriers!

  • First, we can fight through anything, so long as we have Mr. Smooth McGroove preforming Decisive Battle from Final Fantasy VI behind us. This one gives me chills and I think that's a mix between my own Super Nintendo memories and just how nicely 16-bit music fits Mr.McGroove's style. 
  • Next, we can journey anywhere, so long as we have Mr. CalebElijah preforming Diddle's Organ from Legend of Mana behind us.
  • Finally, we can do anything so long as we work together. This video is from the Calgary Stampede and shows a little of the work that had to be done to get the Stampede back up and running in less than a month after the flood of June 2013.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 88)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we learn about ourselves, listen to some beautiful music and then set out on an epic quest.

  • First, Charlie shares some revelations he's had about how to have fun at parties (and other things).
  • Next, CalebElijah covers a very beautiful song from The Legend of Mana.
  • Finally, we have Lucahjin's Let's Play of Suikoden II. I missed the Suikoden games when I was younger, so I was fascinated by this game that had most of everything I wanted in an RPG. So now, inspired by this Let's Play, I've started down the path of playing these games (in order, which becomes FREAKING EXPENSIVE if you want the disks ... which I do).
    As always with her "serious" Let's Plays, Lucah is very informative and fun and I always find her "serious RPG voice" soothing. If you have the time, or need something for the background I really recommend watching this series.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 87)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we check for the edges of the world, the edges of our hearts and think the very deepest of very tired thoughts.

  • Ever wonder if the universe was a simulation? Well, keep your eye out for the edges... as Mr. Safety demonstrates here.
  • Next, Cory (Mr. Safety) hangs out with his niece and gives us all the warm fuzzies!
  • Finally, Hank Green is very tired, but he has thought thoughts.

Project 14: A Walk Through the Station

This is the first of 6 sketch stories, where I write a very short story that briefly describes a scene or a feeling. It's the first time in a very long time that I've published any writing, so please be kind.

I’m not sure that anyone, myself included, really needs this post. On the other hand, I read a thing about re-reading and I want to write ab...
