Your Favorite Youtuber Channels

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.

Elder Geek

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.

Kikoskia

An absolutely prolific Let's Player that focuses primarily on older PC titles.

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.

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.

ProJared

Funny reviews on a lot of retro games - he's been around for quite a while as well.

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.

[Zombeaver]

I think those are all the gaming-related biggies for me. Most the other stuff I subscribe to is music, movie, or politics-related.

Oh! And JonTron + Gamegrumps!

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.

Wood seems to get around.

[Bedwyr]

 

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]

 

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.

[Bedwyr]

 

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.

[Bedwyr]

 

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.)

[Bedwyr]

 

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.

[Bedwyr]

 

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]

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.

[Zombeaver]

Crap, I forgot about MrBTongue. He's a pretty infrequent poster but I love his stuff.

Nicobbq - Has a cool series analyzing difference in game between genres.
