Yesterday someone posted the second ED from Mahoromatic to YouTube. This is my favorite of the two endings, although the other one is pretty catchy too.
Warning: This song is an infection. I’m serious. You will need antibiotics to get this tune out of your head.
UPDATE: In the comments below Pixy links to a much nicer, crisper version with helpful subtitles.
The Biggest Game Ever
How did this niche racing game make a gameworld so massive, and why is that a big deal?
Quakecon 2012 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.

Hardware Review
So what happens when a SOFTWARE engineer tries to review hardware? This. This happens.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
Word is that both songs are popular at conventions for on-stage cosplay performances. Of course, it doesn’t help that they’re both a little bit ecchi, but I particularly like the way the second ED sneaks up on what it’s really about. Definitely a good song.
The ED of the summer special wasn’t anything like as good, and the animation behind it was a complete waste of time.

I just noticed that I loused up my comment. I meant to say that it doesn’t hurt that they’re both a bit ecchi…
That’s funny. You typed it wrong, but I read it the way you intended. I didn’t notice you’d messed up until you pointed it out.
