I just pick and choose what I want to watch. Right now I'll always watch UPF (live if I can), Ranking of Fighters, Gotta God Hand, JGPS, and any around-the-office stuff. I'll watch Quick Looks/Playdates/Breakfast N Ben if the game looks interesting to me. Apart from that, I figure I'll eventually catch the good stuff on Best Of or GBi. It definitely helps that I work from home and can put videos up on a second monitor while I work.

Literally just discovered these guys, and I'm really vibing with it. Old school hip-hop flow + dangerously funky beats

Made a few giveaways:

Enjoy!

I am a man. I have played an unhealthy amount of The Sims.

I'd be eternally grateful for a Dota 2 key. PMing ArbitraryWater.

I haven't contributed to this (or even visited Giant Bomb) in so long, so I'm kind of out of the loop. But, here is my comeback edit.

Reminds me a lot of Nickel Creek. I have to imagine your brother's band got some influence from them. In case you don't know about that, ask your brother for me.

Well, this song in particular has a much different feel compared to the rest of their material. So honestly it's not really an accurate example of their sound. The guy that recorded this video wasn't prepared to record a full drum kit, so the band had to go with whatever song wouldn't be ruined if it was stripped down to a snare, kick and tambourine.

The rest of their work is more inspired by Mumford, The Decemberists, and bands like that.

I wondered about whether this song was typical of their sound. I didn't look up your brother's other videos, but I liked what I heard. I thought they were talented, and thank you for responding.

Sadly they have absolutely no other songs released yet... They're in the process of recording their first EP, but it's been a bumpy ride. Funnily enough, this is their least favorite song. But it was the only one that would still work without a full kit, so they had to roll with it.

EDIT @Bruce: Ah, that's another big influence on them. I freaking love Fleet Foxes.

These guys are based in Kansas City. Extremely talented individuals that are painfully underexposed. I'm probably biased because the vocalist is my brother, but I think they've got something good going on. Check it out for yourself!

A little detail you all might appreciate... The chord progression at 2:05 is inspired by the Zelda fairy fountain theme.
