Wow, I've been a Robert Corbett fan for longer than I thought!

I haven't watched TV in 15 years but if I had the spare money, I would buy a 4k TV and just show fish videos on it all day.
Cheaper than an actual tank and fish don't get trapped in a glass box.
Oh I agree. Its about as sane as throwing self out of a perfectly good air plane - refer skydiving
At least if you watch the video, you know the guy made it... I mean, there might be the other type of video out there but not on Youtube. And I don't want to watch all the fails.

I'm impressed they can fly straight once they get up to speed! They must be more wing-shaped than they look.

Timothy Cain's videos talking about RPGs have been pretty cool.

A bit long, but good for orienting yourself in Science Fiction...

Yesterday, Mega64 celebrated their 21st anniversary as “content creators”. They are most known for their video games in real life skits where they play as video game characters doing what is normal to them in the game but out in public. They have also done tons of other video game related sketches including the one I linked to above.
They are the epitome of being independent and true to yourself. They have incredible work ethic, unmatched creativity in their videos, and a love for what they do that cannot be surpassed. At 21 years strong you would think they would either have quit by now or that they would have millions of subscribers, but neither of those are the case. They do have videos with lots of views, but on average for their sketches, it hovers around the 50k views range which, for YouTube, is pretty bad. But the devoted fan base they’ve created keeps them afloat in many ways.
Despite all of that, they continue to make the videos they think is funny and that they want to see, not what they think will play into the algorithm the best or what will be the most viral or clickable, and for that I have to applaud them. These guys literally do what they think is funny and if you don’t then that’s okay, it’s not meant for you. That has always been something I gravitated towards when it comes to musicians, game makers, directors, etc., wanting to make the thing YOU think is good and not listening to other forces telling you what you should actually make instead.
In the video above, they were commissioned by the Game Developers Conference to make a video for PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi on his lifetime achievement award acceptance. Two things about that: one, being trusted by GDC to make a video is certainly an achievement in itself, and two to be trusted with the man that helped evolve the entire video game landscape as we know it today is incredibly impressive. It just goes to show the love and passion these guys have for their craft, and that goes a long way with people who can recognize it.
Anyways, I love Mega64, they deserve all the flowers. I’ve watched them for nearly 15 years but lately I’ve been on a huge kick and rewatching all their old sketches.

How the “Nutbush” became Australia’s unofficial national dance
Most Australians learned the "daggy" line dance in primary school starting in the mid-1970s
TIL. Colif can confirm?
Um, possibly. Strange things happen in this country. I wouldn't put it past someone.
not sure about learning it in school in the 1970's. She wasn't that big here.,.. just a few songs.
Not like we worshipped her or anything... unlike ABBA in 1976, Of the 52 weeks in the year, they had a song as number 1 for 30 of them.
I don't know if I want it in my search results.
Seems its true. But since its unofficial, it isn't important. It was announced to commemorate her death... I can only think some idiot thinks she important to us as she was in the 3rd and worst movie of the Max Max Trilogy, Good thing they never made any more movies in that series after that disaster... whistles.

We had an Australian exchange PE teacher for a year in secondary school. One of the things he tried to get us to do was what he called 'Bush Dancing'. I think the Nutbush would have been a more valuable life skill.
No accounting for (lack of) taste
I saw Bush Dancing in my search but is more something the indigenous peoples did... we don't really have a culture of our own apart from cringe movies made about some characters here. So most people in Australia are looking for guidance. Long time we followed UK, now its mostly US. All the stupid things both countries do, we try to do way harder.
I tend to not follow anyone. I don't watch TV, stopped about 14 years ago, so have no idea what is popular here anymore.
Nutbush was made popular on TikTok, so there is another reason I had no idea. I don't like 2 minute videos, always saw them as a waste of time. When my download speed was 1.87mbit, the last thing I wanted to do was waste time downloading short videos. Not a lot has changed since.
Movie 3 was when they started to make Mad Max more for international market, it lost what made it Australian.
