My favorite is the Atomic Planet Entertainment clip that plays when starting up Mega Man Anniversary Collection. Paired with the elevator music, it cracked me up when I was younger.
My least favorite is the weird 3D animated Titus mascot fox's head from the prototype of Superman for N64. The replacement of it with a static drawing in the final version is one of the few improvements made to the game prior to its release, I've read.
Favorite: McDonald's logo. I don't know, seeing it just brings me back to being a kid, on that rare occasion where I'd get a Happy Meal & toy, lol. Also, it's sort of the de facto symbol for the success of capitalism.
Can't really think of a least favorite.

Today's Topic is Boss Battles. (Suggested by @BearHunger) Which boss battle was so epic that it's your favorite? And what boss battle was so disappointing that it's your least favorite?
Most favorite: This is hard, so many games with so many boss battles... Right now the best one that comes to mind would be the whole final boss segment of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. The music, the awesomeness, the constantly falling into the pit from Beetle Kirby's ground pound move!
Least favorite: The only one that comes to mind right now is the ice monster boss from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It was a gimmick boss, and those aren't necessarily bad, but they are when they don't work right! And this one just wasn't programmed well enough, which just made it frustrating to beat.
favorite: 02(Kirby 64) the most epic battle ever to my childhood memories
least favorite: last boss of Mario & Luigi Dream Team, easiest RPG last boss I ever faced, it wasn't even funny...
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

Favorite: From Kingdom Hearts II, the Groundshaker: the giant riding the gigantic beast, with the vast, empty wasteland as the arena. The scale of it is amazing.
Least Favorite: Luxord from the same game because I didn't understand the wacky rules of the battle—I won without knowing what I was supposed to be doing.
Also, I could never hit Gyorg from Majora's Mask without getting eaten immediately afterward.
EDIT: How did I forget about King Galaxian from Pac-Man World? That whole stage is so cool. The highlight of the game for sure.
Favorite: It's tough to say, since there's so many. For nostalgia's sake, Bowser from SMW as marking the first time I beat a game. For bosses that are awesome due to their epic scale, almost every multi-stage JRPG final boss, like Ansem, Zemnas, One King, etc (and Ganondorf from TP, though that's not a JRPG).
Least Favorite: Any boss that returns as a common enemy midway/late in the game. It completely cheapens the original experience, and ruins the memory of the fight.

Favorite: Final fight with Ghirahim in Skyward Sword. After being denied my right to stab him through numerous times, I was glad to throw him off a cliff and impale him into the ground.
Least Favorite: Liadri from Guild Wars 2. That fight is the definition of cheap. You are being chased by kill-on-touch clones of her, while dodging exploding circles, while being unable to damage the boss. Plus it's on a 2 minute timer, so unless you're in full damage gear you won't be able to kill her in time.
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
Favorite: shadow queen from paper mario thousand year door, demise skyward sword, The guardian darksiders 2 cause it's awesome and it has an amazing theme. Bane Batman arkham origins.
Least favorite: Absalom daksiders 2 that boss was easy and it was very disappointing and it's terrible cause it's the final boss. Deathstroke Batman arkham origins it was repetitive and annoying.
Favorite (so far) Rank #1 fight No more heroes 1. Though this boss doesn't have much health it makes up for it for takes what you learned and applying it and it doesn't let up.
Least Favorite : The ghost-o-matic domes from Pac-man world 2. You had 6 bosses in the whole adventure, game. Why must half of em consist of those ghost-o-matics with only minor differences of defeating it. Runner up is the final boss from Prince of persia Rival swords. While it did take sorta the same route as the rank 1 fight from no more heroes it should've been a tad better executed, mainly the camera angles and taking damage from the debris.
Favorite boss: This is a hard one for me.. so I'll just make a top 10 list instead. (in no particular order and only of games I played)
1. Flaahgra (Metroid prime/Metroid prime Trilogy)
2. Quadraxsis (Metroid prime 2: echoes/Metroid prime Trilogy)
3. Moldarach (Legend of zelda: Skyward Sword)
4. That weird manta ray guy in Super mario sunshine.
5. Segmented Clawbster (Pikmin 2)
6. Giygas (Earthbound)
7. Amorbis (Metroid prime 2; Echoes/Trilogy)
8. Chykka (Metroid prime 2; Echoes/Trilogy) (What the metroid series have rediculously good boss fights!!!)
9. Gohma (Legend of zelda; wind waker)
10. Volvagia (Legend of zelda; Ocarina of time)
Least Favorite:
I know one boss that I NEVER.. EVER.. want to fight again..
It doesn't have a name (it's actually from a frogger game on the NGC)
BUT IT'S HARD! (If anybody is familiar with the game it's underground 4 in frogger beyond I believe..)
EDIT: This guy!
Keep in mind you can only move with the D pad.. and turn around with the L/R buttons.. and holding down on the d-pad doesn't do anything.. you're button mashing the entire time! You're button mashing.. with this thing shooting at you.. with randomized platform spawning to prevent any particular pattern of movement.. and on the third part, while they're moving and he's surrounding you in fire the entire time.. Oh and if you take too long to press the button on the last part.. IT RESETS!
Rediculously hard when you're the one holding the controller.. (This guy makes it look easy.)
My favorite boss battle would probably by Slench v3 from Metroid Prime Hunters, mostly because I find the Battlehammer really fun to use during that encounter.
Least Favorite would be any Final Fantasy III boss off of the floating continent, because I felt they continually emphasized grinding and grinding zapped my motivation to play.
Today's topic is video game announcements. What video game announcement made you the most excited?
For me, one of my favorites has to be the announcement of Smash Run for Smash Bros. 3DS. That, topped with Greninja, got me extremely hyped for the game! I also remember being excited for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and The Pinball Arcade when they were announced.
Hey! OP! Bring this back!
But on topic...
Favorite: Surfin K.K.
Least: I can't remember, but it was really bad, and some townsperson I hate has it in their house.

Yeah, guitars are cool.
My musical project Comet Tail made a couple of recordings.
