I've figured out what YouTube is for.
The other day I decided that sumi-e was cool to look at, but it was even cooler that they have to do everything right the first time, without going back to touch up. Which I then decided I wanted to see. So I googled "sumi-e video", and found this guy's YouTube videos, which were exactly what I was looking for.
It then occurred to me that, if there were people posting videos explaining such abstruse things as "how to properly paint a bird on a maple branch using ink," there might be instructional videos for other stuff.
Make Rollsushi - Step 1 - Maku
Moshi's way of making sushi
How to gut a fish
(I didn't have the sound on for any of these, so don't blame me if Al and Moshihino are hitting on you.)
But I got grumpy and distracted when I couldn't find a good video on how to bread something so the stuff sticks when you fry it. So, uh.
Baby Pandas
THEY ARE SLIDING ON A SLIDE, PEOPLE.
And then,
Kefka one hit kill (Final Fantasy VI)
This actually isn't that impressive - the game lets you get away with stuff like this all over the place - but it's always oddly cathartic.
Knights of the Round (Ultimate End) (from Final Fantasy 7)
I guess I don't remember that part of the King Arthur legend.
Maybe I shouldn't complain about FF6.
Mario speed run
I think this is machine-assisted, but, still.
(Also, the person who posted it clearly didn't do it himself - real speed-runners go on forever about the strategy involved in a particular run, and who they were influenced by (speed-runners have influences) and angrily anthropomorphizing places that gave them trouble on previous runs. This kid has one sentence, and there's no punctuation, so maybe it's not even a sentence. But he seems to be okay with letting equally clueless people think it's his work.)
