Vandrell takes professionally-rendered yet imaginative paintings of Sega Genesis games and turns them into alternative boxart. I'm especially fond of his Valis and Burning Force covers.
Arthur Wolfe recently played the distaff member of the Clock Tower series, The Struggle Within a.k.a. Ghost Head, and it turned into An Ordeal, as they say. (Sample chitchat: "I don't get this game." "There's nothing to get. It's terrible." "There is only hate.") It develops into an entertaining fiasco, though. For the viewers, I mean, not the man playing or the folks trying futilely to figure stuff out with help from multiple and apparently conflicting guides. It does so very slowly, though, as is the game's wont, so you might want to have a computer project or something on which to work while you listen. Despite Ghost Head's problems, I'm fond of its MPD-protagonist idea and many of the enemy designs, and I'd still like to see it remade with competent design and a coherent story.
Everything Wrong with the Mortal Kombat Movie in 7 Minutes or Less. I like the montage at the end. (Also: "Every fucking person on this pier is welding something right now.")
Found while I was looking for Garry's status portrait: awesome (and awesomely photographed) Ib cosplay. (Oh, and have an extra painting of Garry, too.)
I haven't played most of these games, but I've always been fond of this writeup Resident Evil plot-analysis author Thomas Wilde did ranking the difficulty of all the RE titles released at time of writing. It's a joy to see someone who knows their stuff analyze something at length.
Speaking of people who know their stuff: "Giant Bomb is entertaining!" is surely not news to most of you reading, but hey, I got on the train late. I'm fond of their Quick Looks, videos averaging about an hour long of two or three amiable and knowledgeable fellows enjoying (or not) and evaluating a recent title - anything from the latest AAA game to obscure indies. Favorites: Killer Is Dead, Hatsune Miku Project DIVA F, Ride to Hell, and Cook, Serve, Delicious, with the late & lamented Ryan Davis, through which I discovered a fast-paced, addictive restaurant sim.
