They're Too Sexy

Geoff Castellucci Being Beautiful

btw guys, ublock and youtube have been in an arms race for the past few weeks so circulating filter lists is pretty useless since youtube gets wise to each one in a matter of days. what you should actually do is remove all your custom filters related to youtube and then force update your filter list whenever you see the anti-adblock pop up again

this is horror film to me

these are just NPCs from a PS3 era game

That is so horrifying. Not just how bad the CG is, but also how disgusting the actual act is of using a person's likeness without their consent. The depths a multi-billion dollar company would go just to save a penny is just spine chilling.

Just to be clear, protection against this is one of the major stipulations the actors union SAG-AFTRA is fighting for and part of why the negotiations with studios have fallen apart.

I'm not a psychology researcher, but my guess would be that the nature of it being a time-limited puzzle game where you have to juggle multiple factors means that your short-term memory gets filled and the traumatic images are "dumped" in favor of remembering how many times to rotate the L piece. "As soon as possible" is probably because the sooner you do it, the less likely it is to become part of your long-term memory.

If that is true, then other time-limited activities where you have to remember and plan in a tight time frame may serve a similar purpose.

Can we talk about how Layne loves making Geoff sing insanely low/difficult stuff?

For example:

Songs credited to Voiceplay: Valhalla Calling, Oogie Boogie's Song, the Halo Theme

What do all of these videos have in common other than they're performed by the same Acapella group?

That's right: Layne Stein arranged them.

Now, that's not to say that Geoff never writes/arranges difficult songs for the group and for himself on his own YouTube channel (for instance, The Dragonborn Comes), but he tends to be more humble about his own abilities. Sure, he shows off and loves to push himself to hit lower notes, but he knows the limit of his vocal abilities and likes to write parts specifically made for the other members of the group.

Layne, on the other hand, takes his turn at arranging for the month, and goes:

Layne: Geoff, how low can you sing?

Geoff: *gives him a reasonable answer*

Layne: okay yeah, sounds good.

*time passes between the conversation and the song being arranged and ready to record*

Geoff: *listens to his part for the song* Layne what is this. I told you I can sing a C1. But here you have me singing an A flat -3!

Layne: I don't see the problem >:)

This is so cool! Go give Cesar some love on this video for his super creative idea.  I’d love to see some more of these outside-the-box videos from VP!

Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold- VoicePlay Minis ft. J.None

This is glorious 😍

My old friend (and for almost thirty years my family's doctor) Dan Johnson has a charity he started in memory of his son, Alec, who was drowned in 2014. One of the projects they are supporting is helping a couple who work in Haiti with abandoned children (and aren't part of the Haitian "orphanage industry"). The couple are raising funds to buy the compound they and the children are in, and I'm helping Dan by linking to

Please. Help.

The girl I'm dating and I both think that we sleep on the left side of the bed. I'm coming to terms with the fact that she may be a psychopath and I don't know what's real anymore.

"left" and "right" are both relative terms determined relative to a person. The correct answers are port and starboard.

the headboard is the stern

Yeah this one seems pretty straightforward. I'm sure there's some exceptions, but every depiction I can think of, including IRL race car beds, agrees.

i spent too long on this and regret nothing

Nor should you, this is glorious

VoicePlay just released an a capella cover of Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters, and it is glorious.

Nothing Else Matters - VoicePlay

For those not familiar, VoicePlay is a group of skilled professional vocalists who’ve been performing for over a decade.  Although they’re known as the ‘theater kids of a capella’ and their videos are often cinematic, playful or even downright goofy, none of that is in evidence here.  This performance is restrained, contemplative, masterful, and eminently respectful of James Hetfield’s iconic 1992 power ballad.

Geoff (Bass,) Layne (Baritone and Percussion,) Eli (Tenor,) Cesar (Tenor/Baritone,) featured guest J.None (Baritone), indefatigable Production Manager Kathy Castellucci, and their crew went through hell to get this video put together.  The result, IMO, speaks for itself.

tl;dr: It rocks.
