I watch more YouTube then I'd like to admit honestly, but with ad blockers it's not too bad. Some of my frequented channels/creators:
Gaming:
- Haelian: Used to be purely Hades content, now mostly a rogue like variety streamer/creator.
- GrandPOOBear: lots of Mario romhacks and high level Kaizo play, with a decent amount of variety games as well. Super funny/chill dude.
- CarlSagan42: Mostly plays SMM troll levels, although sometimes his reactions can be a little much. Entertaining if you like Mario though.
- Frost Prime: Mostly Slay the Spire content, although I think he's pretty funny as well.
- Iron Pineapple: Finds and plays every souls-like he can on Steam. Usually pretty entertaining.
- Mukluk: A lot of Guild Wars 2 content, but has a 2nd channel of many types of games. Currently he's going through Baldurs Gate 3
- A Mighty Teapot: Another GW2 creator. Recently did a "Zero to Hero" series in which he created a fresh account and leveled/geared from scratch.
- Josh Stryfe Hayes: A well spoken brit who does commentary on MMOs and gaming in general. I suggest his "Worst MMO Ever" series.
- Flophouse Plays: Variety games, recently enjoyed his videos on finding obscure games on old systems (SNES, Genesis, etc)
- Wulff Den: heavy emphasis on emulators and hacks. Lots of comparisons, like Steam Deck vs ASUS ROG Ally
Music:
- Ola Englund: Swedish metal guitarist and owner of Solar Guitars. Lots of chugs, caveman riffs, and gear reviews.
- NikNocturnal: While the running joke is that he's a "poser" because he likes metalcore, he's a very solid guitarist and makes fun content.
- Ben Eller: Super talented guitarist who gives practice techniques and song/riff breakdowns.
- Adam Neely: Jazz bassist who does video essays on various music theory topics.
- 66Samus: Goofy metal drummer
- Bradley Hall: Goofy metal guitarist who loves to sweep.
- Ichika Nito: Guitarist, think Polyphia condensed into 30sec videos
- Sebastiside: Same as above, but metal.
- Dean Lamb: Insanely good Guitarist from Archspire, love his "4 levels of death metal" series.
- Brandon Ellis: Guitarist of Black Dahlia Murder, mostly playthroughs and practice runs. God-tier shredder.
Other:
- Drawfee: 4 super talented digital artists draw based on crazy prompts. Highly recommend anything Pokemon related of theirs.
- Jolly: 2 British dudes travel and eat different foods. Fun times
- Game Grumps: while their newer stuff doesn't hit the same, I can rewatch their old playthroughs (Paper Mario TTYD, Pokemon Fire Red,etc) repeatedly.
- Angry Video Game Nerd: Similar to the above, newer stuff is alright but I regularly play seasons 1-4. So nostalgic.
I might have a problem....
