Top 10 Video Game Theme Covers

Speaking of video game covers though, have i mentioned before that Extra Credits, one of my favorite educational YouTube channels, has a series on remix artists? Sadly there are only about a dozen episodes and they haven't made any more in awhile, but the ones they do have are good.

And speaking of educational channels, both "Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell" CGP Grey came out with new videos recently.
Kurzgesagt did "Why The War on Drugs Is a Huge Failure"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJUXLqNHCaI
And CGP Grey has "Zebra vs Horses (Americapox Part 2)"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOmjnioNulo
Which is obviously a follow-up to "Americapox: The Missing Plague"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEYh5WACqEk
Hmm, we're gone from video game music, to the drug war and mass incarceration, to genocide. Very "fun" stuff =P
Maybe we should see what i've linked to on twitter recently instead?
"Chris Christie’s wordless screaming"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2016/03/02/chris-christies-wordless-screaming/
Well that's funny, though still kind of depressing, what else?
"The rise of American authoritarianism"
http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism
...not helping!
Well as long as we're talking about Trump anyways, i'm sure most people have seen this already, but:
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Donald Trump (HBO)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnpO_RTSNmQ
I'm not sure how i feel about trying to defuse Trump by referring to him by a name that sounds a bit silly, but the video is certainly funny at least. (And contained a couple tidbits about Trump's suckitude that i didn't know before.)
Ok, to try and end things an an upbeat note, and get back to the theme of music, how about a new Doubleclicks song about Star Wars?
PROTOCOL (C-3Po's Lament) - The Doubleclicks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5xSvXJdt9k
...well okay, it is a Lament, but compared to some of the previous stuff it's positively cheery!
