As an undergraduate student of Biology, I don't have a lot of time or money to support a gaming addiction, but I still enjoy talking about games and analyzing the sub-culture as a whole. I'm a relative gaming newcomer, having only started seriously following the industry with the advent of the Console Wars between the Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube, but I've been playing Nintendo games nearly all my life. As a result, I'm quite a fangirl for the company, so beware of some bias when I post.
A Critical Ear: Analyzing Music in Video Games
If there's one thing that I like more than talking about video games, it's talking about music in video games. As a classically trained pianist that has been playing for more than twelve years, I take a look at some of my favorite soundtracks and how they contribute to the gaming experience as a whole.

Just when you thought you've seen everything there is in Brawl...
Training mode + Custom stage + 3 CPU's at 999% damage + sliding crate = Lulz. (Video originally posted on Brawl Central forums.)

That's not a glitch. The wheeled crate just keeps rolling until someone breaks it or it rolls off the stage.
