  • @SonicRainbooms wait it wouldnt happen to be the same Mr. Turner who teaches choir in Livonia Michigan?!?!?!

  • HI MR. TURNER! 8th grade choir loves you :3

  • 154 people have No Lives and do not appreciate the outstanding achievement that is Baba Yetu

  • @NeoTheo9 So I've heard! Are they sort of like sandbox/open world kind of games? I like playing stuff where I have control over what happens, so this would be right up my alley.

  • @FreakAboutSims3 I meant in reference to all the criticisms gaming has received over recent years; it's annoying, to say the least.

  • @PianoRivera I'm pretty sure video games are still a form of art.

  • Video games aren't art? This song, composed specifically for Civ IV, got a grammy.

    Don't worry, friends...one day, it will be as normal as reading a book--and, I should remind you, reading books is still sometimes frowned upon. Society takes a long time to adapt (but we all learned that from Civ, didn't we? xD).

  • Whenever I step away from the Civ IV intro screen to do something and people in the room eventually ask me what the song is called and that it's pretty. I almost feel the need to thank Christopher Tin for writing this. It's beautiful.

  • @MsFrazzledFro They're great games.

  • I had never heard of the Civilization series up until last week, and in watching this video I don't think I've ever wanted to play a game so badly in my life!
