Pannenkoek just released a glorious 37 minute video on sm64 mechanics: [VIDEO] And if you have never watched speed runs, Summoning Salt has a fascinating series on world record progressions in popular games: [LINK]
That's nothing! He has two videos on walls, floors and ceilings, each longer than half an hour (and both of them extremely interesting) Part 1: [VIDEO] Part 2: [LINK]
See also his four part series (course, really) on wall, ceiling, and floor interactions: [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] It's amazing how engrossing they are.
