Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Rageaholic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQeWZ0ninG-2pzlaenh2ECw Hilarious, precise, often scathing reviews and commentary on video games, metal, movies, and politics, with a predilection for linguistic pizzazz that I appreciate.

Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Elder Geek https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwzLnfNSQRXnzVH56aR0Tig Well written, thoughtful, and insightful reviews and commentary on video games. He's not a prolific poster anymore because of real life concerns but when he does post it's usually great. He has a pretty great series called "Twenty-Five Games for My Son" that are sortof introspective, personal stories about connections he has with certain games that are special to him and he wants to share with his son when he grows up. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Kikoskia https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ADhkBQFudvyhdpsBJJvYw An absolutely prolific Let's Player that focuses primarily on older PC titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Jim Sterling https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWCw2Sd7RlYJ2yuNVHDWNOA One of my absolute favorites. Hilarious, scathing, and absolutely on-point commentary about a wide range of video game topics. His "Jimquisition" series, in particular, is absolutely worth your time.

Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Noah Antwiler aka The Spoony Experiment https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfIaPgy_L2ResrWP5f2B3FA A long-time member of the gaming commentary community, he posts stuff somewhat infrequently on Youtube anymore, partially because he has his own site and partially because he's just doing other things, but there's some pretty entertaining stuff there regardless.

Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 ProJared https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2e0bNZ6CzT-Xvr070VaGsw Funny reviews on a lot of retro games - he's been around for quite a while as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Worth A Buy https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCywBfpGBYhsczNuyyh6Cf6w Hilarious and over the top reviews/rants on PC games. I don't always agree with his reviews but they're always entertaining regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think those are all the gaming-related biggies for me. Most the other stuff I subscribe to is music, movie, or politics-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjohn0x Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Im actually subbed to ACG. Didnt know what it stood for though, lol. His reviews are good but sometimes a bit wordy for my tastes, but the effort he puts into his reviews got my sub. As for another Youtuber, I also like Super Derreck's RPGs - This is a show where a guy reviews jrpgs. New and old.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6luZwzy3OLDCs1-f4IdePg Wood seems to get around.

Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Scott Manley for his instructional videos on Kerbal Space Program, other space related video games, science and engineering behind rocketry, and general real life launch news (especially SpaceX).

Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 MrBTongue. Thoughtful analyses about mostly game subjects, but also general fantasy (including an understated rip on Game of Thrones vs the books) and things like convincing Americans to like Soccer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Mark Brown and the GameMaker's Toolkit. One of the best discussion series on game design I've seen. He's really perceptive and does a great series on Zelda dungeon design and the pros and cons for each entry in the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Extra Credits. Amazing series on game design with an emphasis on Why Games Matter. Often digging into other media, discussing why certain concepts are important in design. This sample covers game literacy on two levels in two videos: basic and advanced. The advanced video suggests where makers, players, and academia likely come in to elevate games as an art form. They also do a phenomenal series on general world history tackling subjects and personalities such as the Punic Wars, the events leading up to WWI, and most recently Catherine the Great. (And yes, if you check one of them out the intro music does come from Actraiser.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Ok, now the purely educational nerd stuff. I love physics and this guy does not hold back. Lots of discussions on special and general relativity, black holes, gravity waves, and especially why, as discussed here, why Quasars are the most metal thing in the universe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Physics from the professors at the University of Nottingham. Still told at a public "Nova" level, episodes like these ask sometimes crazy questions like "what would happen if you stuck your hand into the particle stream in the LHC in Switzerland?".

Bedwyr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 And one more physics channel covering similar topics but getting them down to bite-sized shorter-than-five-minute bits. Includes fun stick man drawings like those on XKCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Crap, I forgot about MrBTongue. He's a pretty infrequent poster but I love his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
