This two hour history of Tetris world records is way more fascinating than it has any right to be (www.youtube.com)

Can never go wrong with summoningsalt. He'll get you invested in things you never knew you had any interest in. If you want a good example of that check out his video on Wii Sports speed runs. If that sounds like something you aren't interested in, give it 10 minutes and you'll be in so deep you'll start thinking about getting into speed running yourself.

Am I the only one thinks his videos got stale after a while? Feels like the exact same video every single time but with different characters.

I sorta had that same reaction, yeah. His Super Mario video was endlessly fascinating and then from time to time I would go to watch one of the others and they didn't seem all that different or exciting. Then yesterday I happened on this one, and for whatever reason, it absolutely hooked me.
