tom7 is always the right mix of genius, madness and fun

Any favorites you want to share? Loved this video

As the other commenter said, everything on his channel is gold. Just the other day I was rewatching "Automated 3dfication of Nintendo games" https://youtu.be/xDxjbXAqTPg and "Harder Drives" https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio

Anything that catches your eye is good but my favorites are:

30 Weird Chess Algorithms: ELO World https://youtu.be/DpXy041BIlA

Reverse Emulating the NES to give it SUPER POWERS! https://youtu.be/ar9WRwCiSr0

Mine are "Harder Drives"[1], "ELO World"[2], and "Printable x86"[3]

Harder drives is excellent. The comments section of that video is fun to scroll through.
