I’m terrible at compiling year-end lists of anything. Either I have wildly incomplete knowledge on a subject (I don’t have HBO or Showtime at home and I keep forgetting to watch Breaking Bad, so take anything I say about the “best” anything on TV with a grain of salt) or I tend to forget what I watched or listen to over a span of a few months. So, when I saw that The Awl’s list of the best internet videos of 2011 was topped by “Game Deaths”, a BoingBoing compilation of life’s end as seen through old video games, I assumed I had posted this brilliant clip on The Range at some point. I remember watching and enjoying it and I tend to post nearly anything I like, even if it’s just for a few moments, but searching our archives, it appears it slipped through ether of internet time. So, in case this didn’t make it to The Range already, here you go.
