I mostly watch My Life in Gaming and Jeremy Parish. Coury and Try are just good at making long videos that look and good, it's great to have in the background while im playing games or something. Jeremy is also like that, I like his retrospective and historical context style. It's fun hearing a pretentious English Major take rhis shit seriously and approach it with such autistic research and completeness

yeah, i like his videos where he talks about multiple games because every minute tends to be meaningful content. in his single-game reviews he really does take too long for the shallow level of analysis he's providing. they'd be much improved by being cut down to the 3-8 minute timespan of a cgr or snesdrunk video.

lukemorse1 was probably my overall favorite given the variety he covered, but his channel is pretty dead nowadays.
GameDave does a good job combining AVGN style entertainment with genuine reviews and good production value.
Hard4Games covers stuff that interests me and their videos are well done.
Jimmy Happa/importgamingftw covers some obscure stuff and is clearly very passionate about gaming.
Brutalmoose doesn't really cover old games now, but his gaming content was enjoyable

Only post in this thread that hasn't been complete shit. Has /vr/ always had extreme reddit-taste, or has there been a recently influx of faggots due to the rules change or something? Looking and acting like you breath sóy while you do letsplays and/or have retardedly inaccurate and yet somehow highly egotistical opinions (eg Jeremy Parish) or just cringed and forced with no ideas (eg Top Hat Gaying Man) or both (AVGN) is not remotely good content, and if you think it is, you're either a faggot or very lazy and just settle for anything videogame related at all.

[Anonymous No.7136249]

Absolutely fucking based.

Stan Burdman was one of the most prolific game reviewers of the early era or YouTube, he did over 500 video reviews and uploaded this first in like 2007. Sadly he hasn't done a new one in over two years.

Gotta agree here, this dudes production quality and presentation is top fucking knotch. This quality combined with the name honestly made me think when I first found his stuff that this was some kind of actual TV network documentaries from Japan that was in English for YouTube or something

[Anonymous No.7136258]

>>7136243
Hard4Games and lukemorse are also alright. H4G actually talks about things no one's ever seen before, typically, (unlike retreading content for clickbait like Jeremy Parish does or talking about some minute detail about your video setup and grossly exaggerating its importance like some of these aforementioned tech channels do) and lukemorse plays games on original hardware WITHOUT talking (much less ranting, like some these faggots itt mentioned they like) while doing so. Nostalgia Nerd is ok, too, but also sometimes shit.

He's also decent. I've learned some things via his vids. He actually puts a large amount of effort into production quality and also into his research, and keeps his own opinions out of things, so that the videos focus entirely on the games rather than on a cringe "personality" forced on the viewer.

Chrontendo is great. Jeremy Parish straight up stole the chrongaming idea from Dr. Sparkle for his Works series, though he is doing more systems than just NES. At least he acknowledges this and has actually had Dr. Sparkle on Retronauts.

I remember he actually bragged about writing the lyrics to the theme song himself and giving it to a musician friend to record for him. In fact I think there is a video someone took where he is drunk and awkwardly sings it for some girls at a party and tries to get people to sing along while they stare in bewilderment. Some people who knew him IRL said he was a creepy sperg.

No he fucking didn't Larry, he literally conceded to you that he made a mistake and didn't research that aspect of it as much, which considering how no one outside the UK gives a fuck about Ocean or shitty microcomputers, I honestly can't blame him for.

And really I am beginning to suspect you read a post I made here about Jeremy and stole that ACKTUALLY joke for it, I literally wrote that same thing a week or two before in a thread here, but in the context of saying that Jeremy doesn't seem to like being corrected by cohosts on Retronauts on stuff he considers himself an expert on and will often ACKTUALLY his way out of it. But again Larry, the way you used it didn't really work because he wasn't really doing that here.

It's not a stretch to think he was lurking and saw it either, this motherfucker is everywhere online and I have even spoken to him on Deadhorse Interchange (a very obscure forum dedicated to shitting on YouTuber ecelebs that has been around almost as long as YT in different forms, the original being called Busy Street), where he actually got himself in hot water with a few other minor retro ecelebs for all the shit talking he did on there about them. I remember him posting about how Happy Console Gamer is a total piece of shit greedy twoface who tried to cut him best friend out of the show when he joined a media network so he would make more money and claimed HCG shit talked him behind his back but considering Larry is a notorious backstabber it's all fairplay to me

I'm not being gay for him I am trying to be objective. Jeremy can be a pretentious dickhead and you can honestly hear him get pissed when he gets corrected on the podcast and try to be like "Well yeah but ACKTUALLY I was right becuz.." and squirm out of it. But he just didn't do that here.

Yes I know what Larry was trying to do, he's done this same shit to Pat the NES Punk to the point they had a flame war in the comments and Pat called him a snake and piece of fucking shit on his podcast. He is a humble REAL gamer eceleb who's gonna totally shit on these other ecelebs who are fakers in public so everyone can see but it just wasn't applicable here. He just looked like kind of asshole.

The ACKTUALLY thing isn't an inside joke of Perish's. It's not even a meme. I literally posted it off the top of my head because its a good approximation of what he does.

Granted the fat ACKTUALLY nerd meme has existed a long time and this is a permutation but either we had the exact same observation about Retronauts or Larry aped my shit
