this had to be a top 12 because the youtube favorites arrange doesn't allow for a top 10.

i've been paroozin on the old youtube for a solid 3 years, and favoriting a rather large amount of videos. 789 videos at the time of this writing if you want to be exact. after the new youtube channels rolled out, i eventually wanted to take advantage of the "arrange" option available in the favorites section. took me a few months, but i finally did it.

12. deer hit by car
the simplistic nature of this brought me to love it so much. the climax happens instantly as the video starts. guy in race car plows a deer; deer flies up into the trees, never to be seen again. the amazing background music used also provided a very laughable scenario, seeing as this video was obviously edited, and no one took this part out, instead put rock music over it.

11. Accident in Iraq
again, a video characterized by its simplicity. some of the best video editing in history is shown here; the way the missile hits his feet, and the force of the explosion throwing him back to his original spot. worthy of an oscar. my iraq parkour career is over before it even began.

10. PLUS SIZE IS HAPPENING
i thought that this was much better than "he loves a fat girl". siddell aka ecstasy takes us on a musical journey to tell us how bigger is better. in his strippers outfit. i heard he was putting the package together. the worst part about this is that if this was a ringtone, i would totally buy it.

9. Back Flip Party . . . . . All the time.
the only partner-channel video on this list. this video is great because it definitely ramps up to the climax. the sweet sound of P.A.T.T., the confirmation of filming, the start procedure, all so masterfully crafted. the flashes of black were definitely THE thing that put this video on the list.

8. Darkness - In My Dreams (Nightmare Power Mix)
near the end of the summer, i found a muchmusic dance 96 cd. i proceeded to youtube every song from the back of the cover, and this was by far the best one. if i ever become a dj, this is going to be in all my sets.
twice.

7. steve nash infomercial for vitaminwater's facebook flavorcreator
fiddy's comedy prowess never ceases to amaze me. and i didn't know steve nash wanted to bust out and express himself. whoever was in charge of vitamin water marketing at the time, you did it right. every single commercial ever for anything should aspire to be this.
charmin needs to man up

6. mrSimon - GAYCORE (08 Video)
i got tipped off by one "yacht" about this. i instantly feel in love. the flurry of sound, that definitely didn't make any sense, but at the same time did, and the amazing video editing sealed the deal. i usually don't like youtube poop deals, but this is more. this is higher level. this is weird shit. and i love weird shit (represented in my #1)

5. Hot Chocolate, High Velocity
regarded as a classic by mega64 fans, this is a great vid. the sound effects really did it for me. it sounded like two butts getting ripped in half. and the final thrust of sound, that is really something.

4. Good Times
this vid really needs more views. i felt like it was definitely the best of the "what you thing of me" era. fuck beatles

3. Sleepy Stinkies
no comment

2. Rogue Warrior Feat MC Mickey Rourke - Funky Credits Theme
i had zero clue what happened to the rogue warrior game. i read articles about it like 2 years ago, and it was going to be like some realistic shit. as far as i'm concerned, this is the best shit. from what would be a shitty game, instantly launched itself up to one of the greatest of all time. super mario who? final what? this is mother fucking demo dick, you commie.
fucking ninja style.

AND THE NUMBER ONE VIDEO IS
1. Major Lazer "Keep it Going Louder"
goddamn, how much i fucking love this. the few seconds of just blank stare everyone that i show this to gets when the faces are revealed, and the either smile or disgust that follows are great. the few people that i gave this  to, i received smiles. except from my brothers.
they're gay
just the thought of how much fucking work fatal farm put into the video is totally astounding. and to make it that fucking ridiculous too. not to mention that the actual musical content is catchy. i watch this video every day atleast 10 times. i even took an hour to chop this video up into 23 individual gifs.
i love this video.


there you have it folks. see you in 3 years
or something
suck a dick

  sure, a story helps too, but the characters in any given form of media (sans gaming) have much more meaning than anything else. the finest example of this is the wonderful bone series. jeff smith crafted an amazing world, with spectacular characters. then the plot line ended, and the bone brothers forever left the valley. seriously, i wanted to start bawling as i closed the last issue. i just devoted 4 years of my life to buying each and every volume that came out, and now it just ended. never to be seen again. okay, the valley is still going to be revisited in spin offs, but that's exactly what they are; spin-offs. it just won't be the same.
  another example is the fantastic anime, neon genesis evangelion. sure, it has kick-ass action scenes, but if they honestly cut all that shit out and just focused on each of the characters daily lives, it would of been just as great in my opinion. the (two) endings (so far) have definitely not helped with wrapping up the characters; it just made me feel worse when i got to the last scene in end of evangelion after enjoying most of it. i finally got around to watching 1.01 you are (not) alone yesterday, and it just reminded me of how fucking amazing the characters are (on a side note, remember how there were no nipples in the tv series? well they're here!!!!!blowme!!!!!(.Y.)).
  the only slight example i can recall of this in gaming is half life 2. the original half life didn't really have other characters involved in the main plot besides gordon and the g-man. half life 2 introduced like a, well, family that i felt you were proud to be a part of.

so i ask you; do you have any examples of where characters have meant much more to you than the story? i'd really like to hear some gaming once; i couldn't think of shit.

today was maybe the best day of my life.

i went grocery shopping with my mom, and we stopped by the deli section of the best store ever. what i saw blew my mind. completely.

i saw salami shaped in a square. i saw saw salami shaped in a heart. i saw salami shaped like a clover.

i saw raspberry chocolate fudge cheese. it looked like a block of shit you would take after eating a whole box of oreos.

i want to work there.
