Ceave Gaming shows us a rather complicated Mario Maker trick.


Yikes. Spoony's remark about Final Fantasy Symposia comes to mind immediately. All of the work chainsawing Ocarina of Time apart seems like small potatoes compared to this.

Ceave Gaming replicates mechanics "introduced" in Mario Maker 2 using Mario 1.


I'm reminded of those Minecraft players who replicate mechanical computers within the Minecraft world. Or reproduce Wintergatan's Marble Machine....

Shadiversity tackles the question of the real effectiveness of a double lightsaber.


Of course, the troubles with carrying around a double sword and a double lightsaber are different. Of course you have to wonder why lightsabers don't have crossguards. Do all Jedi wear lightsaber-proof gloves?

Doris Day died today


Another example of a celebrity that I thought died decades ago still being alive in recent times. Yikes.



Sadly I haven't seen many of her films, but she was good in Calamity Jane.



Now some songs:


Happy Talk from South Pacific.

Winter Wonderland (I didn't know there was an introductory verse like White Christmas!)

Over the Rainbow
Toyland (as in Babes And...)
Cheek to Cheek (sorry Doris, you did great, but Fred did it better)
Nice Work if You Can Get It

All I Do Is Dream of You
People Will Say We're In Love (up the speed to 1.25 for a better experience)
Silver Bells (I'm starting to wonder if I've ever heard a bad version of this one...)
I've Grown Accustomed to His Face (check the comments for a great Trek reference...)
The Sound of Music (the actual performance is perfectly adequate, but I have a problem with the meter and tempo, I'd up this one to 1.25 as well)
Here Comes Santa Claus (is she slipping into a regional accent with this one? It's nice, but odd...)

Tim Conway died today. I repeat yesterday's "I didn't know the celebrity was still alive" comment.


I might know less about him than yesterday's deceased. My knowledge of the Carol Burnett Show is limited, Star Trek parody aside, but my parents were big fans of his work, especially the Apple Dumpling Gang films.


The Amazing Thing I Learned Today is how recent some of his work is, particularly Dreamworks' Dragons. Well, that and his work on Spongebob Squarepants, including video games.

A robot built into a Rubik's Cube that will solve the cube in the most efficient way after you randomize it.


Yet another pointless yet very cool device.
