Title: gaming youtubers don't seem to put a lot effort
Post by: Rman on March 10, 2021, 12:51:11 PM: i remember watching a channel called reviewtechusa. in the last few years all the guy does is basically read IGN, GameSpot newsarticles, sometimes verbatim and gives a pretty safe takes. i just checked now, and his latest view is around 5 minutes. he probably spends more time creating the thumbnails.

and if i look into his recent videos it is just more news video and that's it. and he has close to one million subs and a patreon.

i don't mind patreons. i like jeremy parish's stuff, but jeremy parish puts in work into his videos. he's not reading some news articles verbatim and calling it day.

Yup. He just reads shit and turns what should be a one minute article read into a 10 minute video. Can't remember if YT is how he gets all his income at this point, but absolutely bonkers if so. There's some other YT "content creators" like him out there and I simply just don't bother watching anything.

Yes, it's his full time thing. he apparently has an editor too lol.

if you got a nice fulltime YT gig at least put more effort. they fact that he has memberships/patreons just makes me laugh. he just reads articles.

Other collectors are just jealous of the jesus.

He spends most of his time roaming around looking for or playing (rare) video games and making YouTube videos about them, while his wife allowed him to change half their new home into a video game museum / man cave.
And still he's like: "So yeah, I haven't played much Mega Man but this super ultra rare misprint copy of Mega Man for the Genesis that I picked up for $2 at a pawn shop is pretty neat. Oh and look at this, a pretty cool boxart of this weird looking PS3 game called Call of Duty Black Ops. I think I'm gonna try this first when I get home. I haven't played much Call of Duty so I'm excited to dive in. Once we get home I'll also show you guys our new automated mini bar and bartender drone, pretty cool"

and the haters be like: :gurl

Post by: thetylerrob on March 10, 2021, 02:34:43 PM: Tim Rogers/Action Button is putting more effort into his videos than any other YouTuber. If you want quality over quantity he's your guy. He calls them reviews but they're really collections of multiple video essays.

Season 1 of his youtube channel so far:

The Final Fantasy VII Remake: 3:18:55

The Last Of Us: 3:04:04

DOOM: 3:30:21

PAC-MAN: 2:55:57

Tokimeki Memorial: 5:56:25

His last review for season 1 is Cyberpunk 2077, and it should be out soon. I would say he also has the power of weaponized autism, but he also has a rare neurological disorder that causes him to literally remember almost every moment of his life.

I like Top Hat's coverage of super obscure systems (like the Casio PV-1000 for instance)... but his game summaries leave a bit to be desired as you said.

Another great reviewer who goes into a lot of detail is Kim Justice - especially in terms of the British retrogaming scene.

Post by: who is ted danson? on March 10, 2021, 06:02:42 PM: whats up guys its ya boy who is ted danson? coming at you with another gaming news post.

Before I get into things let me just ask you guys to like and subscribe, it really helps. And don't forget to hit the notification bell, because youtube subscriptions don't work anymore anyway so I guess subscriptions don't help after all.

Now today I'm going to talk about microsoft completing their purchase of bethesda and what this means for you.

Before I get into this things, let me give a shoutout to todays sponsor, NordVPN. Use the code DANSON30 for 30% off a year of NordVPN.

NordVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) service provider. It has desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux, mobile apps for Android and iOS, as well as an application for Android TV.[6][7] Manual setup is available for wireless routers, NAS devices and other platforms.[8]

NordVPN is based in Panama, as the country has no mandatory data retention laws and does not participate in the Five Eyes or Fourteen Eyes alliances.[9]NordVPN was established in 2012 by "four childhood friends", as stated on its website.[2] Late in May 2016, it presented an Android app, followed by an iOS app in June the same year.[10] In October 2017, it launched a browser extension for Google Chrome.[11] In June 2018, the service launched an application for Android TV.[12] As of October 2019, NordVPN was operating more than 5,200 servers in 62 countries.[13]

In March 2019, it was reported that NordVPN received a directive from Russian authorities to join a state sponsored registry of banned websites, which would prevent Russian NordVPN users from circumventing Russian state censorship. NordVPN was reportedly given one month to comply, or face blocking by Russian authorities.[14] The provider declined to comply with the request and shut down its Russian servers on April 1. As a result, NordVPN still operates in Russia, but its Russian users have no access to local servers.[15]

In September 2019, NordVPN announced a VPN solution for business, called NordVPN Teams. It is aimed at small and medium businesses, remote teams and freelancers, who need to access work resources securely.[16]

In December 2019, NordVPN became one of the five founding members of the newly formed 'VPN Trust Initiative', promising to promote online security as well as more self-regulation and transparency in the industry.[17][18]

In August 2020, Troy Hunt, an Australian web security expert and founder of Have I Been Pwned?, announced a partnership with NordVPN as a strategic advisor. On his blog, Hunt described this role as "work with NordVPN on their tools and messaging with a view to helping them make a great product even better."[19]

Features
NordVPN routes all users' internet traffic through a remote server run by the service, thereby hiding their IP address and encrypting all incoming and outgoing data.[20] For encryption, NordVPN uses the OpenVPN and Internet Key Exchange v2/IPsec technologies in its applications.[21] Besides general-use VPN servers, the provider offers servers for specific purposes, including P2P sharing, double encryption, and connection to the Tor anonymity network.[1] NordVPN offers three subscription plans: monthly, yearly and bi-yearly. It is not possible to cancel a subscription through the web interface.

At one time NordVPN used L2TP/IPSec and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connections for routers, but these were later removed, as they were largely obsolete and insecure.

NordVPN has desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as mobile apps for Android and iOS and Android TV app. Subscribers also get access to encrypted proxy extensions for Chrome and Firefox browsers.[22] Subscribers can connect up to 6 devices simultaneously.[23]

In November 2018, NordVPN claimed that its no-log policy was verified through an audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG.[24][25]

In July 2019, NordVPN released NordLynx,[26] a new VPN tool based on the experimental WireGuard protocol, which aims for better performance than the IPsec and OpenVPN tunneling protocols.[27] NordLynx is available to Linux users and, according to tests performed by Wired UK, produces "speed boosts of hundreds of MB/s under some conditions."[28]

In April 2020, NordVPN announced a gradual roll-out of the WireGuard-based NordLynx protocol on all its platforms.[29] The wider implementation was preceded by a total of 256,886 tests, which included 47 virtual machines on nine different providers, in 19 cities, and eight countries. The tests showed higher average download and upload speeds than both OpenVPN and IKEv2. [30]

In November 2020, NordVPN launched a feature that scans the dark web to determine if a user's personal credentials have been exposed. When the Dark Web Monitor feature finds any leaked credentials, it sends a real-time alert, prompting the user to change the affected passwords. [31]

In December 2020, NordVPN started a network-wide rollout of 10Gbps servers, upgrading from the earlier 1Gbps standard. The company's servers in Amsterdam and Tokyo were the first to support 10Gbps, and by December 21, 2020, over 20% of the company's network had been upgraded.[32][33]

Security issues and controversies
On October 21, 2019, a security researcher disclosed on Twitter a server breach of NordVPN involving a leaked private key.[34][35][36] The cyberattack granted the attackers root access, which was used to generate an HTTPS certificate that enabled the attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks to intercept the communications of NordVPN users.[37] In response, NordVPN confirmed that one of its servers based in Finland was breached in March 2018.[38][39] The exploit was the result of a vulnerability in a contracted data center's remote administration system that affected the Finland server between January 31 and March 20, 2018.[38] According to NordVPN, the data center disclosed the breach to NordVPN on April 13, 2019, and NordVPN ended its relationship with the data center.[39] Security researchers and media outlets criticized NordVPN for failing to promptly disclose the breach after the company became aware of it.[36][35][40] NordVPN stated that the company initially planned to disclose the breach after it completed its internal audits.[36]

In October 2020, NordVPN started rolling out its first colocated servers in Finland to secure the hardware perimeter. The RAM-based servers are fully owned and operated by NordVPN in an attempt to keep full control.[41] [42]

On October 29, 2019, NordVPN announced additional audits and a bug bounty program.[43] The bug bounty was launched in December 2019, offering researchers monetary rewards for reporting critical flaws in the service.[44]

On November 1, 2019, in a separate incident, it was reported that approximately 2,000 usernames and passwords of NordVPN accounts were exposed through credential stuffing.[45][46]

Reception
In a February 2019 review by PC Magazine, NordVPN was praised for its strong security features and an "enormous network of servers", although its price tag was noted as expensive.[1] CNET's March 2019 review favorably noted NordVPN's six simultaneous connections and dedicated IP option.[47] In a positive review published by Tom's Guide in October 2019, the reviewer concluded that "NordVPN is affordable and offers all the features that even the hardcore VPN elitists will find suitable".[48] The reviewer also noted that its terms of service mention no country of jurisdiction, writing that the company could be more transparent about its ownership.[49] The company has since updated the Terms, explicitly mentioning Panama as its country of jurisdiction.[50] TechRadar recommended NordVPN for bypassing state-level Internet censorship, including the Great Firewall in China.[51]

OK so heres a screenshot of a Gamespot article about microsoft buying bethesda. Because you are an illiterate fuckwad let me help you out here. Skyrim 2 is going Xbox exclusive. Thats right guys. You love Skyrim? Get an Xbox. BUT Naughty Dog is making their own version of Skyrim with Joel and Ellie. So maybe that will be better? I don't know guys, how about you drop a comment below? It really helps me out guys.

Woah time flies, looks like my 10 minutes are up, hope you enjoyed the video guys. Remember to like, comment and subscribe. Oh, and join NordVPN with the code DANSON30.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing some cool news about The Last of Us 3. Alright peace out bye.

Title: Re: gaming youtubers don't seem to put a lot effort
Post by: mormapope on March 10, 2021, 06:47:59 PM: It really matters what type of content you want. Sounds like a very generic thing to say, but it's true. Arguably, videogame critique on design is at its peak. For stuff that's funny, there are way too many YouTubers and streamers that are either wooden planks or fake as fuck regarding personality.

Joseph Anderson, Tim Rogers, Whitelight, and Raycevik are my favorite analytical YouTubers. They make videos that are long and discussions around game design are the meat of these videos.

For comedy, I've been fucking with Jerma985 and AvoidingThePuddle. Both of these streamers have a back and forth with their community that's endearing and honest. Both have great playthrus of both great and shitty/weird games.

Also, fuck Linus Tech Tips. If you're interested in a shill that advertises the absolute cutting edge for hardware or tech, he's your guy. LGR (Lazy Game Reviews) is a much more interesting channel that has a wide range of older tech and hardware that's infinitely more interesting.

Post by: who is ted danson? on March 11, 2021, 03:56:43 AM: Serious post. I do / did like noclip and Noah Caldwell-Gervais. You basically have to watch them in chunks unless you want to sit there for 40++ mins (2h++ in NC-Gs case). But, because youtube is like a fucking slot machine, its hard to remember what I was watching last time and I'll rarely go back after watching 10-20 mins. I also liked Strat-Edgy at one point but tbh haven't checked him out in years.

I also do **unironically** sometimes watch metal jesus rocks but I don't know dick about retro gaming, so perhaps that makes me his target audience? I like the ones where he just shoots the shit with his friends, the solo ones are a bit zzzz.

A few channels that come to mind and I looked up (haven't watched in years):
-Pete Dorr - This guy is still (sorta) going
-Classic Game Room - dead
-DSP - :lol
-Snestastic - stopped watching this guy a long time ago because he went through the cycle of buy games -> sell whole collection -> buy games again.
-SamueltehG33k & ElPresador - these had a minor (funny) beef a long time ago. The former ended up a republican, the latter is still spamming youtube daily.
-Team Avolition - golden era of minecraft imo, but long dead now
-Veriax - lets plays (background tab material). This guy is still going (11 years of lets plays :o)

Tech tubers:
I think they have all become identical in terms of production and constant product shilling. I did used to like TekSyndicate (which imploded), i guess in part because they at least tried to have a more unique aesthetic.

Jerma? Who the fuck is this guy and why should I care? Maybe say something interesting instead of dumping a 2 hour video lmao. I got his shit recommended on Youtube and found none of it funny.

Why is Dunkey like one of the only people who understands comedy?

Same with this XcQ guy, maybe he's for the kids but none of these people are funny to me.

Breh you have a Dr. Disrespect avatar. You come across as a perpetual 14 year old, so it makes sense why you don't enjoy adult things.

DSP had one of the strangest arcs possible. Where at first, this is how you don't play was relatively harmless and him bitching about those videos was funny and unwarranted. But eventually, a borderline cult did form that would discuss and analyze every moment from his life.

Elpresador and his shitck of hating Call of Duty was fantastic, and he actively hated it during the best entries in the franchise lol. He is genuinely unhinged and fucking crazy, so him being a Trump fan was a logical progression.

I definitely think there is a curve where low-ish production values and very high production values (e.g. noclip) make good stuff. And then in the middle there is a no mans land where channels probably make enough money to sustain a person full time, but they have to constantly shill random stuff to do so. I think there is just far too much of a copy & paste attitude on youtube where people rip off video formats, background/"set" design, camera angles, etc. Another example is the "daily vlogger" category, where after casey neistat blew up, there were suddenly hordes of people try to rip off his format/style (and arguably his life) down to the very last detail. Maybe its the only way to get ranked on the algorithm, but my god is it boring.

Yeah- she turned into a total THOT. There was a thread about her posted in the hidden sub-forum:

http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=47047.0

Haven't paid attention to anything with her in a while- there was some controversy over her videos just becoming OnlyFans ads or something like that, plus doing copyright strikes on people criticizing her.

She had a live stream interview with someone over whatever thing it was people didn't like. I want to say it was accusations that she was "fake" and not into games or whatever? Anyway, during this stream, she starts looking away from the camera and it's clear that someone is telling her what to say in the background. :lol But who cares? People are watching for tits.

Edit: Found it.

Tim Rogers/Action Button is putting more effort into his videos than any other YouTuber. If you want quality over quantity he's your guy. He calls them reviews but they're really collections of multiple video essays.

Season 1 of his youtube channel so far:

The Final Fantasy VII Remake: 3:18:55

The Last Of Us: 3:04:04

DOOM: 3:30:21

PAC-MAN: 2:55:57

Tokimeki Memorial: 5:56:25

His last review for season 1 is Cyberpunk 2077, and it should be out soon. I would say he also has the power of weaponized autism, but he also has a rare neurological disorder that causes him to literally remember almost every moment of his life.

The Doom video is an incredible thing. I love how it's essentially just a story of life. I've been thinking of putting it in the videogame videos thread, but never know how to explain why it's so good at describing the various life situations and people described in the video and that time period. It's like I know exactly what he means and the people he describes. It's scary vivid how you can easily find similar people you have bumped into during your lifetime and similar scenarios. I love the Doom review.

Fuck it. I'll splooge:

- The whole thing about how your dad ties into videogames. And the experience of essentially "yep and then he never played vidya again"

- The dirtbag friend who has a weird thing about how he treats women. Tying in with the various boy vs. girl commercial segment. Muah.

- Poserdom. And finally not having to be a poser anymore.

- The two Beavis and Butthead types he would eat lunch with at high school.

- and then some dude (cause you know it was a dude in the 90s) burned down our high school gym. :lol

- College experiences

- Life during Covid times

- The whole American McGee thing

- The Edge review thing is hilarious

- All the various knowledge drops in general. So fleshed out.

- So many minor things and nuggets tossed in a way that make it so honest.

I enjoy the little small breaks in character where is is like half in character, but you can feel the tongue in cheekness.

Probably my favorite thing to be released from Gaming Youtube Vidya content in 2020 and I didn't discover it until like 2 months ago.

- The dirtbag friend who has a weird thing about how he treats women. Tying in with the various boy vs. girl commercial segment. Muah.

- Poserdom. And finally not having to be a poser anymore.

- The two Beavis and Butthead types he would eat lunch with at high school.

- and then some dude (cause you know it was a dude in the 90s) burned down our high school gym. :lol

- College experiences

- Life during Covid times

- The whole American McGee thing

- The Edge review thing is hilarious

- All the various knowledge drops in general. So fleshed out.

- So many minor things and nuggets tossed in a way that make it so honest.

I enjoy the little small breaks in character where is is like half in character, but you can feel the tongue in cheekness.

Probably my favorite thing to be released from Gaming Youtube Vidya content in 2020 and I didn't discover it until like 2 months ago.

Tim Rogers is a self indulgent, self centered liar who wishes he was half as smart as he pretends to be. I remember when a journalist friend ended up quoting Rogers during his ((very) brief) stint at Sony, where Rogers claimed he was Kutaragi's right-hand man. Dude was willing to lie and potentially kick the legs out of a writer's career to have his position exaggerated in the press, which could have blown up on both of them. Rogers also made such a negative impression on the Tokyo expat gamedev drinkup crew that they implemented stricter "new guest" policies. So, nah, I won't be watching any of his content and adding clicks to his revenue. Dude's broken.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on March 15, 2021, 04:02:30 AM: I think there are plenty of solid Youtube Game channels. May not be for everyone though.

Noah Caldwell-Gervais-Obviously not strong on the production values and presentation since it's mostly b-roll footage with voice-over. But I think Noah is a solid essay writer and these while maybe a bit long are good personal essays on video games.

Jeremy Parish-Jeremey is just a good writer and his youtube channel is excellent. Good videos about the history and context of his subjects.

Modern Vintage Gamer-Good informative tech videos. MVG doesn't come off as douche, just a dude interested in this stuff.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting-Yeah it's a white guy talking about video games, but Stop Skeletons focus on more weird stuf and I think the videos are well done with plenty of enthusiasm.

Austin Eruption-Not for everyone as Austin can be a bit obnoxious and features the random cut away to shit that passes as youtube humor, but I think he's still a tolerable weeb in that he's self-aware about this crap.

ThorHighHeels-Not for everyone as Thor's voice and sometimes humor can be a bit much, but he talks about really obscure games and just games with a Japanese focus. He's really good at creating a personal aesthetic, mood, and atmosphere I think.

Nitro Rad-I don't know, I kind of like this guy's enthusiasm.

minimme-I like this channel because I think the guy covers things bigger channels would have no interest in and the videos are well done enough. I mean so many gaming youtube channels will have this big produced logo and then shit audio, so production value and presentation is half the battle.

Tarks Gauntlet-Super weeb channel, but I don't find it offensive.

Tim sucked all the air out of the room by attempting to become the main focus of attention -- and focusing on eggs to a degree that everyone there was uncomfortable with him.

I'm remembering something about Fishie abusing the trust of the peer-environment, as that drink-up is a hotbed of borderline NDA-breaking behavior. Less so now, but back in the day, loose lips abounded, and things that were said at the drink-up found their way into his news articles, IIRC.

Forgot all about that guy, lol. I don't think anything happened with him and he just stopped doing videos and tweets stuff now.

Stealth edit- He stopped uploading videos normally three years ago, but put up two videos in 2019 and that was it. Somehow, despite the lack of any content, he still has 12 people subbed to his Patreon.

Title: Re: gaming youtubers don't seem to put a lot effort
Post by: EchoRin on March 20, 2021, 04:44:50 AM: Anyway. Inspired by Rax, I figured I'd bust out the ol "vidya youtube channels you are subscribed to" on this early saturday morning of which I will not go to sleep due to my busted sleep schedule. Hopefully I power through the day and pass out at 11PM tomorrow. Without further ado (in no specific order):

Capcom Fighters (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPGuorlvarThSlwJpyTHOmQ/videos) - Do you like watching competitive Street Fighter 5? Me neither... except like maybe 4 times a year for no particular reason. I haven't even played 5 for real. Been a long time since I even played 4. Some people watch Dota2, Counter-Strike, CoD, Starcraft 2 competitions. I dig the Street Fighter competitions.

Computerphile (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9-y-6csu5WGm29I7JiwpnA/videos) - This is actually mainly about computer tech. Frankly not much that I can actually use or comprehend. I'm sure others here will comprehend it though.

DidYouKnowGaming? (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyS4xQE6DK4_p3qXQwJQAyA/videos) - Factoids.

Electric Playground Network (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbeSMjoShh_QHXyLx68GRBg/videos) - Nostalgic in some ways. I like Vic. Honestly I don't get much from him in terms of reviews (movies or games. Especially movies), but I love his interviews.

Kim Justice (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ZWVL1Elyt2cdiQYjxS_1w/videos) - Kim is damn good. Extra focus on the British side of gaming. Some of her documentaries would be nicely paired with a budget from Netflix. Very informative.

Mega 64 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgc4xqIMDoiP4KOTFS21TJA/videos) - I'm just here for the comedy. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it misses. Dug the hell out of their EVA sweded editions.

My Life in Gaming (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpvtp7mH0Cdq8FQUxcjDq0Q/videos) - Lots of retro focus. What hardware to play on, what are the differences. Getting extra anal and nitty gritty about it. In a useful way though lol. There's other stuff too. You'll quickly grasp the general idea if you click on the hyperlink.

PtoPOnline (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRmw2Pw9hrkZbY1TVAwq-_A/videos) - I love this little channel. Weird shit that got canned or lost or eventually turned into something else. Demos of stuff. This is cool in a preservation kind of way.

CuteFloor (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRt4hVnvg0_soJJ6Fo8FEsg/videos) - Somewhat similar to the above.

Klagmar (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXqaAlx-l3NJtCzBp4sF7TQ/videos) - Vidya game music uploads. I love people like this. Very straightforward. For the love of the tunes. I'm all for it.

NeverKnowsBest (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1fKT0wuhchtclPqpdWEnHw/videos) - Video essays. Or essentially just long reviews / analysis / retrospectives for the most part. Can be a bit dry at times. Sometimes feel like he gets hung up on proving specific objective points that don't necessarily blend with the subjective feeling behind things. You don't have to be so literal at times, but hey, everyone's got a style or things that seem to throw em into a light frenzy haha.

8-bit Music Theory (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZLO2VgbZHeDcongKzzfOw/videos) - A cross section of vidya tunes and, you guessed it, music theory. Again, very much up my alley.

Ahoy (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE1jXbVAGJQEORz9nZqb5bQ/videos) - The guy who would do short video essays about specific weapons among other other themes. Always dug his production.Wonder what he has up his sleeves in terms of one of those longer docs.

Archipel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3zoY9LapZERsN7caDKqz0w/videos) - Do you like vidya? Are you a weeb? Interviews with Japanese people in the entertainment arts. That's what this channel provides for the most part. Their 2 part Dreamcast doc was awesome. I like that lots of their videos also feature the guest taking us around spots that they like or inspire them or whatever else. The flavor of life is part of these videos. And that's something you don't necessarily get very often.

Censored Gaming (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFItIX8SIs4zqhJCHpbeV1A/videos) - I'm here only for the objective parts of the videos. The crowd of this channel is kinda ::). What are you gonna do though? An intersection of shitty gamer kultcha type of guys and actual facts. Kinda reminds me of the good old days of browsing various massage boards where I would sift through the trash to get to the key info and avoid the community as that is the weak part.

Dave2D (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVYamHliCI9rw1tHR1xbkfw/videos) - Tech. Mostly mobile on the go tech. Dave seems like a likeable guy. Though sometimes I wish he would review some lower end material and give more context between the value and performance.

Errant Signal (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm4JnxTxtvItQecKUc4zRhQ/videos) - Video essays. Various topics. I do like that half of the time I'm bumping into games I wouldn't know about or only heard about in passing and never really knew about them.

Game Score Fanfare (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8P_raHQ4EoWTSH2GMESMQA/videos) - Vids under 15 minutes usually about music in videogames. 75% of the time I'd say.

Foxcade (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgYxEFQIVkmo4865ap0Zbw/videos) - video essays. He likes Devil May Cry quite a bit as you can tell by skimming the thumbnails of his videos. It also occurs to me now that I've watched very little of his output.

Game Makers Toolkit (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqJ-Xo29CKyLTjn6z2XwYAw/videos) - Popular channel. Takes looks at various topics or gameplay mechanics. The Boss Keys series is neat.

Gaming Historian (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbvPS_rXp4PC21PG2k1UVg/videos) - Exactly as it sounds.

GilvaSunner (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCraDChjPs-r9FoNsmJufZZQ/videos) - Channel dead? Maybe not. I don't know. Maybe just in limbo. Either way a source for vidya music that has at times been hit with channel strikes by videogame companies that are sometimes stuck back in 1988 with their way of thinking about music sharing thinking.

GmanLives (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKlUrYO3i9MDlL45Ia6j5EA/videos) - If it shoots and bangs, he's probably gonna review it. First and third person shooters all day erryday (erry week or so). It's funny clicking on a review that's like 5 years old from him. You can see how his presence and way of speaking is eventually find it's groove, but hey it took a while to develop his way of speaking to be smooth and confidant as it is now. He is really horny for polygonal women...

GVMERS (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuhUzpdXg9jme6eN6HA_IA/videos) - Docs about games or game series. Nice narrator voice.

KingK (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18YhnNvyrU2kTwCyj9p5ag/videos) - Reviews, retrospectives and the odd thematic video.

LGR (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLx053rWZxCiYWsBETgdKrQ/videos) - Computer tech and games. Likeable host.

Major Third (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYHLbgr0JCbH5T0y3hUJ01A/videos) - About videogame music. The videos that interested me have sort of stopped it seems. But the channel is alive. Just different uploads than what turned me on to it originally.

Matthematosis (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_sF2m3-2azOqeNEdMwQPw/videos) - Reviews mostly. Damn. Didn't know I probably ran into his channel around 7 years ago judging by some uploads that I remember being new when I saw them.

Noah Caldwell-Gervais (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5CYeHPLer3lbEhgonvbbAA/videos) - Longform reviews mostly. I'd like share a cup of coffee with him in a small town by a forest and ask him about what traveling book from an older decade he is in the midst of reading.

Obscure OSTs (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLYXJTj0KogMcnmQvM-iPcQ/videos) - Exactly as it sounds.

Raycevick (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1JTQBa5QxZCpXrFSkMxmPw/videos) - Known for retrospectives. Other musings as well.

Smooth McGroove (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvBEEqTaLaKclbCPgIjBSQ/videos) - Hope he's doing alright. Seems like he's kinda lost his motivation for the simple but effective idea of doing videogame music a cappellas.

Summoning Salt (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUbO6rBht0daVIOGML3c8w/videos) - Speed running docs.

Super Bunnyhop (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWqr2tH3dPshNhPjV5h1xRw/videos) - Various topics.

The 8-Bit Guy (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8uT9cgJorJPWu7ITLGo9Ww/videos) - Mostly old tech stuff. Sometimes mixed with modern retro stuff. I love the spirit of the host. He got hit hard by the shitstorm that hit Texas. Hope he recovers soon. As in his home. He's physically fine (except for his posture, lol).

The Easter Egg Hunter (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzUu14PomXO5VutMv-AP_g/videos) - Videos about easter eggs. Nothing more nothing less.

Whitelight (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVWhVAZwCdQsPZL-mDLcxPQ/videos)- Retrospectives, critiques.

Writing on Games (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPlWv88ZRMxCcK3BGjrX7ew/videos) - Various topics.

Smooth McGroove (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvBEEqTaLaKclbCPgIjBSQ/videos) - Hope he's doing alright. Seems like he's kinda lost his motivation for the simple but effective idea of doing videogame music a cappellas.

ok this is some crazy timing

his last video was july 2019 but there is a new video uploaded 7 hours ago, which was about 12 hours after your post

:whoo

Looks like he had some health issues and is back to business. Good to hear is doing better. Sounded serious (kidney disease, fatigue)
Title: Re: gaming youtubers don't seem to put a lot effort
Post by: EchoRin on March 22, 2021, 01:37:06 PM: It's a bit of a strange vid in that I'm glad he is much healthier than he was before, but it would seem that it was mainly an issue of adjusting his diet. And that's fantastic. But I looked into the dude who he was inspired by and it's a guy who has no medical knowledge and also writes for Goop (yes that Goop).

So it's like he got to the right answer, while using a strange formula. I would assume the Goop guy writes his books by actually leaning on some nutrition science, but with a whole bunch of woo that "just kinda sounds right to me even though I'm not basing this on any study".

I know that if I was to eat a whole bunch of chocolate (3 king sized bars) my teeth start to hurt and my body has some spots that get itchy. So I don't indulge in copious amounts of chocolate all at once. Now I didn't consult any doctor or a Goop guy, but yes I'm aware that chocolate doesn't agree with me in large amounts. Would some nutritionist or (are there diet doctors? Maybe there are allergy doctors? Clearly you can tell I'm not the most ill person on the planet) probably say "ah yes, that's a fairly common issue with some people bla bla bla...". I guess so. At least it would then likely be backed up with actual science. As opposed to Goop guy saying the same thing, but backing it up with some vague spirit feeling.

Tl;dr - I'm glad Smooth McGroove figured out his diet which seems to be helping him in a huge way. Just wish he wouldn't fall into some pseudoscience woo that maybe worked out this time, but could be an issue if leaned on the next time something is up with this body.

Anyway. Inspired by Rax, I figured I'd bust out the ol "vidya youtube channels you are subscribed to" on this early saturday morning of which I will not go to sleep due to my busted sleep schedule. Hopefully I power through the day and pass out at 11PM tomorrow. Without further ado (in no specific order):

8-bit Music Theory (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZLO2VgbZHeDcongKzzfOw/videos) - A cross section of vidya tunes and, you guessed it, music theory. Again, very much up my alley.

Game Makers Toolkit (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqJ-Xo29CKyLTjn6z2XwYAw/videos) - Popular channel. Takes looks at various topics or gameplay mechanics. The Boss Keys series is neat.

LGR (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLx053rWZxCiYWsBETgdKrQ/videos) - Computer tech and games. Likeable host.

Smooth McGroove (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvBEEqTaLaKclbCPgIjBSQ/videos) - Hope he's doing alright. Seems like he's kinda lost his motivation for the simple but effective idea of doing videogame music a cappellas.

Summoning Salt (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtUbO6rBht0daVIOGML3c8w/videos) - Speed running docs.

Noclip (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0fDG3byEcMtbOqPMymDNbw/videos) - Various stuff. Docs and interviews aplenty.

GDC (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0JB7TSe49lg56u6qH8y_MQ/videos) - Game Developers Conference videos

Supradarky (https://www.youtube.com/c/SupraDarkyVGM/featured) - My man. Videogame music uploads. Demolished by Nintendo. He rises from his grave soon. Reuploaded all his old stuff and will be continuing. If you go to "Playlists" you will find all the old material.

I'll heartily second all the above. Love 8-Bit music theory, LGR does really interesting dives into retro/esoteric PC stuff (like recently running a pc game via reel-to-reel), and supradarky is the shit! Glad that Smooth McGroove is doing better now, looking forward to new arrangements of his.

Post by: EchoRin on March 25, 2021, 01:28:43 AM: About the 8-Bit Guy. Today I learned:

https://twitter.com/RealTimeKodi/status/1309886976837980161

Eh... I know he's a Texan and all that, but I didn't think he had this weird gun fetishistic side to him :-\. Enjoy your guns and all, but to have this strange glee of whatever these two vids are...

Apparently this is footage from over 5 years ago. Just weird man.

edit:

Oh. :mindblown

Censored Gaming - I'm here only for the objective parts of the videos. The crowd of this channel is kinda ::). What are you gonna do though? An intersection of shitty gamer kultcha type of guys and actual facts. Kinda reminds me of the good old days of browsing various massage boards where I would sift through the trash to get to the key info and avoid the community as that is the weak part.

Glad to hear that the guy is legit. Sometimes he ends in my recommendations but I don’t want to watch gamergators esque people with click bait misinformed videos (even if I am anti censorship).

Post by: chronovore on March 25, 2021, 03:51:25 AM: 6 Bit Guy - So you’re telling me a pudgy Caucasian guy with an electronics fetish is unclear on why the rest of the people are upset that he’s wandering the streets in a group with semiautomatic rifles, so he’s taking a moment to explain why society doesn’t understand why they’re wrong?

I’m shocked, I tell you.

Shocked.
