Today on Boing Boing Video, a yo-yo demonstration by world champion yo-yoer, game developer, “craft mogul,” and nerdcore rapper Doctor Popular. This episode is an excerpt from our marathon live streaming coverage of the Game Developer Conference, during which “Doc Pop” graciously hung out with our crew and offered insight. We hope to bring you more of those conversations soon, particularly his thoughts on game development. He also creates comics based on internet memes and social network etiquette dilemmas, my favorite of which involves the social awkwardness of “unfollowing” someone on Twitter. Some of his “Memes in Real Life” internet arts are here. The guy’s a genius, and his yo-yo-ing is nothing but hypnotic.
Scott Beale at Laughing Squid has a bunch of posts on the eclectic range of Doc Pop’s work.
