The entertaining story of how a small coffee shop in Ottawa learned a swift lesson in public relations after displaying a "Thin Blue Line" flag on its sign.

Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai! The story of Spec Ops: The Line set to "Darkness Settles In" by Five Finger Death Punch. More info in description if you're interested. I found the story of Spec Ops: The Line to be an intriguing exploration of war and PTSD, and decided to make a GMV that explores some of its themes. Five Finger Death Punch is a metal band that is beloved by many soldiers and makes songs that touch upon similar things, so I felt one of their songs was a fitting choice. The game's story was inspired by Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", and explores how the experience of war can strip men of their humanity and make it impossible for them to truly return to ordinary life. It also explores how misguided attempts at heroism can end up doing more harm than good. The protagonist, Walker, tries to be a hero but only ends up killing increasing numbers of innocent people, and goes into denial to the extent that he literally goes insane, blaming his former commanding officer Konrad for all of his atrocities. At the end of the game, Walker has a choice of either accepting his guilt and committing suicide, or continuing to live in denial. He can then either return home, haunted by his experiences, or kill the entire evacuation team and become a monster. I felt the second of those two endings was more appropriate for this video. Although it has a unique story, Spec Ops is, at its core, a generic cover shooter, so it didn't sell well. After all, it's hard to criticize a genre of video games when you're still bound by all of its constraints, but I think the developers did an admirable job. The game still has a small cult following to this day. My GMV uses footage from Gaming Goliath, whose channel can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmNNOq6lkKQ7eolS3-qNqw/videos

Happy Halloween, kids! I decided to see if I could make the pumpkins extra irradiated this year. #Halloween2021

The funniest Allahu Ackbar memes on YouTube! No repeats, no BS, and no 9/11 footage! Just good clean explosions when people least expect them... "Isn't it the sweetest mockery to mock our enemies?" -Sophocles

I saw this in a bookstore and had to make fun of it. Please don't read either book to your children. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw3DjP7HSts Also, don't be racist!

This is a silly idea I came up with when thinking about AI videos. The quotes are from the now defunct "NotJordanPeterson" speech synthesizing AI. I did some audio editing/enhancement and added video clips and dramatic music.

I talk about Chris Chan's incest charges and how I think autism, bad parenting, bullying, and poor socialization helped lead her to this point. Chris Chan (aka Christine Weston Candler) was recently arrested and charged with incest after a phone call and text messages were leaked that reveal she had sex with her elderly mother, who has dementia.

Everyone's favourite video game hating pastor set to Undertale's Spider Dance. Boss music makes sermons more fun!

Maybe returning to monke isn't the best idea after all...

#CancelCanadaDay didn't have a song, so I made one!

In this video, I go over much of the information that has come out about the London truck attacker and talk about what conclusions we can draw. I talk about evidence that suggests the attack was premeditated, how long it could have been premeditated, and what factors in his life may have caused him to commit the attack. A fundraising page has been set up for the 9 year old boy who lost his family and survived the attack.

I revisit one of my favourite childhood games as an adult and try to get all 120 Stars. See below for video sections. This part is from the beginning of the game to the Hazy Mave Cave, and covers 59 of the 120 Stars, mostly in order. The second part will complete the playthrough and cover the remaining 61 stars. The game was run on Windows using Project 64 2.32 with resolution upscaling and AA enabled. It was recorded at 30 FPS and 720p. I used a Dualshock 3 with an Xbox 360 controller emulator. I own multiple copies of Super Mario 64 on different platforms, and encourage you all to buy games that you wish to emulate if possible.

Love Shack meets American Psycho! My first version of this video was banned from YouTube, so this one is a little more family friendly.
