3. Marching Band Video Game Medley
Okay, hands up who likes marching bands? Hello? I think we can safely say that marching bands aren't all that popular. They tend to exist in America to provide the half time entertainment at college football games, and give the kids that aren't sporty enough to be on the team, or good-looking enough to be cheerleaders something to do. They wear funny uniforms and traipse about the bit in formation playing show tunes and the like. In the general coolness pecking order even chess club members look down on them. Apart from these guys: The music is, well, faithful, and if you like trumpets and xylophones quite enjoyable. But it's choreography that impresses me the most (never thought I'd write that) They look like trained ants with a Nintendo fixation; every shape is perfect, and even when they animate they do it precisely. The sheer variety of games they cover is impressive as well, from colossal Space Invaders to giant Tetris. I think we've all wondered from time to time what a Pokemon the size of a football field would look like. Well, now we know.

He is currently available for the post of Head of Marketing at Nintendo, seeing as no-one else seems to be doing the job. He's also a major fan of fantasy/sf books and is just waiting for his novel about an assassin who doesn't wear a hood to get picked up.
