this’ll be on my videotape
alright, so here’s the deal. i wanted to put some videos on my linkroll. but they’re all hosted on youtube (video hosting is expensive so we have a monopoly run by the world’s largest advertising company), which presented two problems:
- they all share the url youtube dot com, which seems rather antithetical to the purpose of the list
- the ?v= codes are all very opaque
so i’m putting them here instead, divided into two groups: channels outputting constistently good content, and important videos
quality channels
- 🅰️ red letter media - some hack frauds talk about movies and try to make each other laugh
recommended videos: wheel of the worst #16, half in the bag: jack & jill - 🧬️ ahoy - in depth documentaries about the history of video games
recommended videos: polybius, the first video game - 🎭 chris and jack - comedy skits; the bloopers are almost as good as the stuff that made it in
recommended videos: the white room, groundhog daying - ❔ lemmino - slickly edited videos about unsolved mysteries and, usually, their common-sense solutions
recommended videos: cicada 3301, the lost colony of roanoake - 🎮 jacob geller -
game design, architecture, and how it all comes back to the real world
recommended videos: museum theft, fear of depths
important videos
- 🎸 this video is for a tax writeoff
