We haven't had this topic for a while... so here is my nomination.

Staggering talent, three brothers ages 10, 14, and 15.

Sleepy Man

You should watch the whole video, but if you want the best part, skip ahead to the 6:00 mark.

That was a great recap of events. I'll have to remember that one and send it to anyone who's unfamiliar with the issue.

Anyone know of something similar that can sum up gamergate? (sorry, didn't mean to veer the thread off-topic, we certainly shouldn't go in-depth on these issues in this thread - create a new one if you want to do that...)

That FPS video was quite cool!

I'm quite proud of my good friend in this video:

Fishy is my housemate, and this video was shot in our house (mostly our garage). Fishy made the bases for this year's Hugo Awards. The bases are made by a different artist each year; the rockets are the same every year. I think this video is great because he came up with an extremely clever system for mass producing these bases, especially the jig he used to weld all the pieces.

Besides, I think his design this year *looked* really cool. Past years' designs can be seen here, some of which are also awesome: http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-trophies/

Mmm.. cool. I do remember thinking (when I first saw them) that this year's trophy was a lot neater than I remembered them being, with the base really standing out. At that point, I didn't know the bases are different each time around!

Thanks

The Late Show with Steven Colbert is off to a great start. Some amazing interviews already, very different then the typical late night interviews. It's feeling like Jon Stewart handed his interviewing torch off to Colbert.

Agreed. Heck, he must feel like he's taken the weights off, because now he doesn't have to conduct an interview on two levels, where he's running a great interview while also pretending to be his character.

I know we've got some guitar fans on here. I'm not a musical person, so perhaps this isn't as difficult as it looks, but it impressed the heck outta me.

Yes, that is genuinely awesome. There are not many guitarists specializing in that particular style, and they all impress me very much. Here are some other of my favorite examples:

Might as well bump this thread with the joy of a 106 year old:

Mark Kroos - Canon in D

I thought I knew Canon in D fairly well (not to play, but to hear it). There were parts of his arrangement where Canon in D was quite obvious, but most of the middle? I had to go listen to a "normal" recording of Canon in D, and then re-listen to Kroos' arrangement -- and still couldn't totally pick it out from all the complexity of his flourishments.
