I've come across several fun/interesting videos on
YouTube the past few weeks, never got around to posting them because I've been busy with stuff at college. The end of the semester is sadly always like this. Just tests, tests and more tests that keep you from doing anything else.
Anyway in a way it's a good thing, because now I get to make a whole post with just the videos! They would have otherwise ended up as footnotes, footnotes you'd probably not even notice. So here are
Varun's Top 10 Recently Watched Videos, ranked in reverse chronological order.
"Top 10" lists are always more fun than plain bulleted ones, aren't they?
10. If You Come Today — South Indian English VideoI'm sure most of you would have already seen this by now. If you haven't, you should.
9. Tale of RockA very well made 3D animated short film by Stevo Payne and John Godwin. It's funny too.
8. System of a Down - Chop SueyA 2 year old kid rocking out to this SOAD song!
7. Pentagram - ElectricIndian rock band
Pentagram's latest released video. Groovy.
6. Orestes — Piano CoverI always thought
Maynard's voice was unimitable. But this guy is just amazing.
5. Mel Blanc on David LettermanMel Blanc is the voice of classic cartoon cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and hundreds of others. Wonder how he remembers what his actual voice sounds like.
4. Content-Aware Image ResizingA new technique of image resizing that keeps the important features of the image undistorted.
3. 300 — Speed Painting and AnimationI don't think I will ever have the patience to do something like this.
2. Linkin Park ParodyOne of my friends had added this video to his favourite videos list on
Orkut. I can see why.
1. PortalAnd I thought people ran out of ideas for video games.
