Title: Recommended YouTube channels?
Post by: raiden58237 on April 13, 2015, 10:33:28 am
Hey guys!
Just wondering how many of you have YouTube channels? Looking to find some channels to subscribe to as my subscription list is a little low at the moment. Link me up guys! If there are any channels you recommend as well that would be great. I'm really into my retro stuff so if you could keep that in mind that would be great. I'm already subscribed to The Game Chasers, Pat the NES Punk, AlphaOmegaSin, Gaming Historian and MetalJesusRocks so any other channels besides them would be great!
Thanks guys!

Two I can definitely recommend are JHMDF and CraigslistGameFinds.

JHMDF does garage sales but also has a video game sellers playlist which is very good.
CraigslistGameFinds is garage sales and such and then an overview of what they got.

I'm actually in the midst of watching your channel, fellow Brit collector here!

Some of the main gaming channels I watch are

SeeJayAre
Round2GamingChannel
Roosterteeth
Funhaus

Both SeeJayAre and Round2GamingChannel are more about pickups/completely their collections while Roosterteeth and Funhaus are more gameplay/podcasts!

Hope that helps a little  ;D

I feel like this could be an opportune time to plug my channel but I shan't since I don't really have any videos on there anyway.
But! LazyGameReviews is fantastic, especially if you're into older PC stuff, since he covers a lot of that. Also he makes hilarious LP's and an awesome series called Thrifts!
NerdCubed! He mainly focuses on more modern PC games but occasionally he goes into more retro material, like PS1 games and the like.
Ashens has some fantastic retro game stuff on his channel as well as some really funny non-gaming stuff as well.
Dan Bull is awesome, and he makes raps about gaming and politics and other stuff.
Yahtzee19 - You may have heard of Yahtzee from his Zero Punctuation series over on The Escapist but he also has some cool videos on his personal channel as well - mainly long plays of games with his friend Gabe, and their series "Let's drown out" focuses more on the ramblings and musings of the two rather than the game they're playing.
And, to name a couple others you should really check out, Rerez, PortsCenter, LarryBundyJr, Ahoy, Classic Game Room(Lord Karnage), CGRUndertow, DidYouKnowGaming, PBG.. that should tide you over for a while :D

There used to be a guy by the name of Turf1218 that did fun stuff. Then he had an interruption in his channel. You can give it a look. He was really hitting his stride before the format had to make drastic changes. Check out The Complete NES Review. It's incomplete so far, but it's fun to watch.

Gggmanlives: He almost exclusively reviews FPS games, almost entirely ones on the PC, but if your a fan of either PC gaming and/or FPS games his channel is a must to subscribe to. Very, very good reviews on games like Half Life, Quake, and many other classic FPS series.


NEScomplex: Sadly he rarely posts videos anymore, but he is still worth subscribing to for the excellent videos he makes on classic Nintendo games, Nintendo Power, and pretty much all things Nintendo.


F4m1LyGuy10: This channel isn't so much original content as it is this guy posting a ton of great video game soundtracks. If you're a fan of video game music this guy is worth subscribing to.

Dr. Retro is an obvious big one that hasn't been mentioned yet (that I saw). He's Euro but since he mostly just covers game hauls and openings he's relevant to NA collectors who enjoy watching haul videos. He was mentioned in the Retro Gamer magazine issue that covered retro collecting.

Aside from the mainstream (Normal Boots and Hidden Block, AVGN, Retroware Network) I watch Game Sack, Lord Karnage (Classic Game Room) and even though he's part of Retroware, I do have to say that Lazy Game Reviewer (LGR) is probably the YouTube channel I care about the most after my cooking channels.

Which, I may as well throw out there, if you have any interest in cooking check out FoodWishes cuz it'll teach you more than you'll ever learn outside of actively going to culinary school :V

A couple of days ago started to watch these two channels and at least in my opinion they are very good, if you are in the retro stuff you might going to like them.

* Drink a Beer and Play a Game

* Pat the NES Punk

I started watching that Drink a Beer and Play a Game.  I like it.  It may never be huge, but I like the idea.  It may be because I love beer and video games a little too much.

For the first one I found the channel when was looking some reviews about The Simpsons games, really liked the way that they use to review the titles and how they express they anger with those bad games, it's not like the AVGN cause that's so fucking exaggerated, my last purchase was because of one of their reviews  and am even searching for another two titles that I'll add to my collection as soon as I found them in a good condition, it's a shame that they don't have that many subscribers.

I have my own channel that I'm pretty proud of. I'm trying to get it back into full swing again. Plus I've started monetizing! Link is in my signature.
