I bet you thought our video of Sonic the Hedgehog doing a merry jig was pretty cool, eh? Well so did we! But CHECK THIS OUT; this is OFF THE FREAKING HOOK:
We are happy to be your number one source for quality videos of Sonic dancing.
Since I mentioned it in that last post, here is the new YMCK video! I think it may be their most ambitious to date. It's very nice, anyway. The song is called 'Starlight' and it's from their new album, 'Family Genesis' -- OUT JANUARY 16, IN SHOPS.
Points is a really, really good series of short (but not too short) videos on game-related topics, made by a dude called Jason DeGroot. Who is this DeGroot? Where does he come from, and what does he look like? I have no idea, because he makes these videos in an 'invisible interviewer' documentary style, letting the images and subjects speak for themselves. It's nicely understated and a pleasant change from the HEY WOW BLOO BLAH WHEE LOUD NOISES style favoured by the majority of videogame-related internet videos.
New episodes come out only occasionally, but they're always good, so go on and add the Points webpage to your bookmarks or RSS feed.
Here's the very first episode from back in August, about a pair of videogame-themed bars in Shinjuku. This video introduced me to the 8bit cafe, which I now invariably visit whenever I'm in Tokyo! It is one of my favourite places to be.
