I don't know exactly what it is about the school concert in episode 12 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya but…whenever I watch it, it never fails to send a shiver down my spine and put a huge grin on my face.
I don't think it quite has the same effect with YouTube's low resolution and bitrate but check it out;
It's hard to pin down what I love so much about this clip but I think the following things all factor into it…
Thuyen Nguyen, tired of the negative representation of video games in the media recently (and I can relate to that feeling), decided to create the below video in response; "a love letter to video games".
I don't know how non-gamers will take to the video but personally, having played the majority of those games, it certainly hits a sweet spot with me!
More information on the video, and a link to a HQ download version, are available on Thuyen's site.

I've been a closed beta tester for the P2P streaming video/TV application Joost since back in February. In March I was given a few invites that I passed out to close friends and family. The response to the application from my invitees was generally good though I think we all could agree it needed some more channels (and still does). Nevertheless, there's some good content on there and I'm sure there will be a lot more available when Joost exits the beta phase and is available for public access.
Joost is now allowing existing beta testers to invite a lot more people to try it out so if you haven't had an invite for it yet and would like one just email me (if you know my address) or use the contact me form on this site. All I need from you is an email address for the invite to be sent to.
