2014 Video Power Hour from Trevor LaFauci on Vimeo.

Oh glorious 2014, what a year you were! With multiple hits from Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, and David Guetta among others, the year 2014 was one for the record books. So join us, fellow music fan as we sit back and enjoy 65 of the year’s best songs.

The rules are simple: Take a new sip of your drink for every new song. In addition, beware of Snoopin’ Snoop, who will pop up from time to time as he tries to spy on unassuming young women. If you see him, take another drink to keep him away from his unsuspecting females.

When all is said and done, you will be able to enjoy the magical year of 2014 to raucous applause from your friends and family who are participating with you. And, if for whatever reason your neighbors ask you to turn down the video power hour, please kindly respond to them by asking, “Turn down for what?”

2013 Video Power Hour from Trevor LaFauci on Vimeo.

In 2013, we were given a very simple question to answer: What does the fox say?

Now, thanks to a year's worth of music videos we can now, definitively answer that question.

Come join us as we review the 60 best music videos of 2013. Like any power hour, the rules are simple: Drink a sip of your drink every time a new music video pops up. However, be careful as from time to time there will be fox sightings where we will see a fox, but we won't quite be able to hear his natural sound. At the end, if we have been properly playing along, maybe, just maybe, we'll see and hear the mythical fox that we have dedicated the entire hour in search of. One can only hope…

If any holiday deserves its own Power Hour, it’s St. Paddy’s Day. Celebrate the biggest drinking day of the year with this epic power hour. The Luck of the Irish be with you!

I soon found out that Steve Roose was bullying other people too — anyone that had a website about our favorite drinking game, including a certain musician named Ali Spagnola.

Ali calls herself “A drinking composer with a music problem” — she had written an original power hour album, and did live power hour concerts. Steve was telling Ali to give up all of her hard work, because he suddenly owned the widespread, commonly-used name for a drinking game…so that he could kill all of the competition and sell a crappy Power Point presentations that burp. (Here’s my original article about the whole thing, “Save The Power Hour!” if you want to get up to speed.)

Unfortunately, for Steve, he messed with the wrong people. Ali took Steve to court, and challenged his trademark. I helped Ali out by helping drum up support and donations for her legal fees… and in the process, unleashed the Internet hate machine against Steve. Ali got a ton of press and a lot of support. But that didn’t change the fact that Ali still had a court case to win. She hired a lawyer, and poured TONS of money and time into fighting Steve Roose’s claim to the trademark for “power hour”.

Three years and $30,000 in legal fees later, Ali finally got the judge’s answer…

WE WON!!! POWER HOUR IS FREE!!!

Ali fought a long and expensive battle to save our favorite drinking game for everybody.

Now, in celebration of the victory, Ali is going on a Power Hour Freedom Victory Tour, doing nationwide power hour concerts! She just quit her job and is going to pursue her music full time…but in order to make this happen, she needs your help. I’ll let Ali speak for herself:

I urge you, if you have ever done a power hour, love drinking, or love JUSTICE to support Ali’s power hour tour and budding music career. You can donate to her IndieGoGo Campaign, where she is trying to raise $40,000 so that she can pay off her legal fees, and, you know, eat while she goes on her nationwide tour.

On the IndieGoGo page, you can vote for her to come play a live concert in YOUR CITY! I can’t think of a better cause to get behind…so do it!

The Douchiness of Steve Roose

While we’re at it, here’s a quick recap of just some of the shit Steve Roose has pulled here on Power Hour HQ.

As you know, Power Hour HQ shares video power hours, submitted by the users. Nobody makes any money from this and there are no ads on the site. Most of the videos are made by myself or my friends.

After Steve sent the cease and desist order in 2010 (which I ignored), he tried to take down my website another way. He systematically sent DMCA take down requests to all the video hosts we were using to share the videos at the time — Vimeo, Viddler, Blip.tv — and got all of my site’s power hours taken down.

But before he did that, he SAVED A COPY of each and every video, and then uploaded them to his own website, right here: http://www.powerhourgame.com/category/videos/

I mean, seriously?

He literally went through my website, STOLE all of the content made by myself and my friends, and then used legal threats via his bogus trademark to get all of the content removed. Oh, and that’s not all. When he first put the videos on his own website, he tried to CHARGE PEOPLE A MONTHLY FEE TO SEE THESE VIDEOS…which used to be available for free.

What an epic, epic scumbag.

Obviously, he didn’t make very much money from these videos because people are smarter than that. After a few months, he took down the paywall.

Meanwhile, over here at Power Hour HQ, I picked up the pieces. Luckily, I had made backups. I also saved copies of all the power hours on this website, and am now hosting them myself. While a few are still down, the vast majority are back up for your drinking pleasure… FOR FREE, as they should be! (And I’ve still got many more to add.)

Now that Steve’s lost, and his power hour products clearly aren’t selling, he’s trying to distance himself from this whole mess. Unfortunately for him, his name is forever soiled on the Internet from his past douchey deeds. So what doe he do? He tries to pretend that he’s just the victim of an unfortunate name coincidence.

Steve emailed Ali Spagnola and tried to convince her that “Steve Roose the realtor” is not “Steve Roose the power hour tycoon” (see the end of Ali’s write-up on the legal case). But if you do 2 minutes of Google research, you’ll see that Steve Roose the realtor from Costa Mesa, CA is the same Steve Roose who owns Power Hour, LLC (registered in Costa Mesa, CA). Despite Steve deleting all the photos and videos of himself promoting power hours from years past (at least the ones showing his face), he can’t take remove his name from the public record.

Steve has also claimed that his long, rambling, ungramattical comments that he posted on the Save The Power Hour post were written by an Internet imposter, not him! Yet, this commenter lists off a bunch of trivia about his company that only he would know, and honestly — who in the world would go to those lengths to DEFEND this troll?

Long story short, Steve Roose is one seriously greedy, self-centered, deranged individual.

Now…let’s party!

Power Hour is free for everyone again, and I can’t think of any better way to celebrate than by doing a power hour!

I personally recommend that you do Ali Spagnola’s Power Hour…oh yeah, and perhaps I should mention again, donate to her IndieGoGo campaign. She deserves it.

Props to the Mayans. They really had us convinced for a while that the world would end in 2012. Luckily for us, life went on and with it came 60 sensational music videos from across the board in 2012. When all is said and done, you should have a good feeling for all the musical artists that made our year great. Artists such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Maroon 5, Adam Lambert, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and others gave us multiple hits. New artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Jessie J, and PSY burst onto the scene.

Aided by clips from the 2012 movie, this video montage is a great way to celebrate the fact that no matter how bad your year was, at least the world didn’t end. The rules are simple: Drink for every new song as previewed by Jay Sean’s “2012” and also take an additional drink any time a scene from 2012 pops up. This video power hour is a great way to enjoy the holiday with friends and family and enjoying your new lease on life. What better way to celebrate the world not ending than to destroying your health with copious amounts of booze? Let us all take this opportunity to destroy our liver while making a new year’s resolution to stop destroying our liver.

Enjoy the 2012 Video Power Hour. After all, not even the Mayans could stop it.
