Interactive Media

Well, there are a bunch of things I like to mess with on a day-to-day basis, but the two biggest are probably these: Pandora, and Super Smash Bros.

Pandora is great for a variety of reasons. You get to design the station around something you know you already like, and, with uncanny accuracy, Pandora will find similar artists and music. Should you dislike something, you can ban it from the station, and it'll never be played again. Or, should you get tired of something, you can just temporarily ban a song or artist for a month or so. One of the biggest benefits to something like Pandora, though, is that it finds out what you like, and then searches out artists who have little-to-no recognition at the everyday level, so you're constantly finding new things to interest you.

Smash, on the other hand...well, I'd try to describe it, but the video just sums it up so damn well. That's my paragraph for that.
