Sometimes the internet brings very incongruous things together.  For example, there is a gentleman on YouTube who posts under the username "PoopPoopFart."  It's a little hard to envision the circumstances under which one chooses that for a handle (perhaps we should pretend that he must have lost a bet, or something), but harder still to predict that among his videos would be lovingly crafted classical guitar renditions of Nintendo themes.

For your listening pleasure, Super Mario Brothers 2:

And the Overworld Theme from The Legend of Zelda:

Both lovely surprises to wake up to this morning, which I am doing quite late so I'd best go figure out how to get a jump on the day.  Thanks to Violão de 8 Bits for pointing me to both of these videos - I highly recommend subscribing to their Twitter feed if you're on that service and this sort of thing is up your alley.  I don't speak Portugese, but I do love classic game music, and they keep it coming.
