Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 42)

There's speculation that this volume of my favourite YouTube videos will hold the answer to life the universe and everything. I'm not saying that's true, but I'm not saying it's not.

Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 22)

This volume of my favorite YouTube videos includes some cool music, some cool writing and some cool costumes.

  • The first video this volume is Bill Withers singing "Ain't No Sunshine". This is an incredible performance with so much passion. I'm not sure where it's from, but it's worth taking the time to enjoy.
  • The next video is Alex Day and Bryarly Bishop, singing "Under the Sea" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid".
  • The next video another vlogbrother video, this one with John and Hank together (which is the best kind of vlogbrother video). Beyond that I'm not sure why I favorited it, other than the generally entertaining insanity and possibly The Katherine hiding in the bathroom (spoilers). Plus Ellen Hardcastle is my favorite album by Hank so far.
  • The next video, again from the vlogbrothers is the first part of the nerdfighter book club on "The Great Gatsby". Whenever John talks books it's interesting, but now I'm especially interested in this one because he has returned to it on their Crash Course channel. The concepts are the same but the presentation has changed.
  • Finally we have a lipdub of cosplayers from the London Film & Comic Con in July 2011 by Cosplay Fever.

Blog: Favorite YouTube Videos (Volume 9)

For a surprising turn of events, this Volume has nothing to do with video games. It's still fairly musical though and contains rabbits, my childhood and groups of people doing cool things.


  • The first video this week come from, of all places, the New York State Lottery Board. It has rabbits, they're cute. 
  • The second is a lipdub from a group of students from l'Université du Québec à Montréal. This is the first lipdub I'd ever seen and my mind was blown. You may not love The Black Eyed Peas but the video is pretty incredible. I love seeing groups of people band together to pull things off and this is a brilliant example and the fact that they do it in all one take is even better.
  • The third video is one of the opening credits to the 1980s PBS show 3-2-1 Contact. There were several different versions but this is the one I remember the best. I was probably a bit young to watch 3-2-1 Contact (and I certainly get it mixed up in my memory with other PBS shows of the era). There's something about the song though that's really memorable.
  • Following on that is a clip from another PBS show Square One. As a kid I loved this show and through this game thought this was a great idea for a game show (since I was pretty good at math).
  • The last video is a flash mob from the 2010 olympics (the one with the mittens). As with the lipdub above I enjoy the group effort and the well that's all they managed feeling getting blown away by the but wait there's MORE. It's also kinda neat to know exactly where a video was filmed.

The Video Games I Played - February 2024

This is the second new monthly games post . I'm not feeling very settled in what anything means. The book posts have some basic stats...
