Games is already one of YouTube's biggest categories alongside music, but a new monthly chart published by industry site Tubefilter, based on data from analytics firm OpenSlate, shows its scale. The most popular games channel is no surprise: PewDiePie has been the biggest channel of any category on YouTube for some time. Felix Kjellberg’s videos were watched 311.2m times in May, with 27.3m people subscribing to his channel. He was followed by British gamer Joseph Garratt’s Stampy channel, which focuses on videos created within the Minecraft game. Stampy generated 165m views in May, with 2.8m subscribers. Garratt is preparing to launch a second education-focused channel called Stampy School. 43 of the top 100 games channels on YouTube are produced in the US, but the UK is the second biggest country with 16 – or 17 if you claim PewDiePie, a Swede now based in Brighton. The Diamond Minecart (115.9m views in May), iBallisticSquid (75.6m),Yogscast (52.3m) and Wroetoshaw (37.7m) are some of the other British games channels building large audiences on YouTube, according to the chart. YouTube has become a huge platform for “Let’s Play” walk throughs and other games videos, fuelled by individual creators and multi-channel networks (MCNs) like Maker Studios, Machinima and Fullscreen.

The Coder’s High, an intense feeling of absorption

Coder’s high: The intense feeling of absorption exclusive to programmers.: "These days I write more than I code, but one of the things I miss about programming is the coder’s high: those times when, for hours on end, I would lock my vision straight at the computer screen, trance out, and become a human-machine hybrid zipping through the virtual architecture that my co-workers and I were building. Hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and even pain all faded away while I was staring at the screen, thinking and typing, until I’d reach the point of exhaustion and it would come crashing down on me...."

Google, Android, Material Design (video)

Google, Android, Material Design (video above)

Design is the art of considered creation. The goal is to satisfy the diverse spectrum of human needs. As those needs evolve, so too must our designs, practices, and philosophies... the challenge: to create a visual language for users that synthesizes the classic principles of good design with the innovation and possibility of technology and science. A material metaphor is the unifying theory of a rationalized space and a system of motion. Material is grounded in tactile reality, inspired by a study of paper and ink, yet open to imagination and magic. This is material design.

Material world: how Google discovered what software is made of | The Verge: ""Design is all about finding solutions within constraints," Duarte says, "If there were no constraints, it’s not design — it’s art.""
