We all find creative ways to procrastinate, but it's difficult to top the feat that YouTube user FamilyJulesX recently pulled off. Instead of studying for his final exams, the heavy metal guitar player and college student decided to splice together a video of himself performing classic video game tracks on guitar, drums, and bass.

Spanning from Pong to Dark Souls II, the medley contains 38 different songs, all performed by FamilyJulesX. According to the video's description, the entire project took a week and a half, including four straight days of mixing, mastering, guitar playing, and drum programming. It's an impressive one-man job, to say the least. If you ever feel like putting off your work, watch this video. Perhaps his efforts will inspire you to do something more useful with your time than going on Facebook.
