    Rather than filling up the forum with videos of others & not original content, we will keep all channel & video recommendations in this thread. So, if you have a video or channel you'd like to share that is not your own, post away :)

    It's no secret I'm a big Game Chasers fan. For anyone interested, check out their channel here. Essentially, they're retro game collectors who video their exploits out in the wild searching for games in flea markets, stores, and swap meets etc. Here's their most recent video:

    Another retro recommendation here - The Gaming Historian. Norm's videos are excellent if you like content that's high on quality & low on filler. He makes informative videos on all things retro game related:

    I like what norm does. it's very well put together and it's nice to get a channel that's not all hectic, loud and in-you-face ... or maybe I'm getting old :D

    Yet another retro reviewer, Stop Skeletons From Fighting. Derek is a cracking reviewer, just bursting with passion, flair, and presentation style. His videos are brimming with quality, and yet again, are incredibly low on filler (if indeed containing any at all). Check him out

    Another one for the retro lovers out there, 16 Bit Gems.

    Nice piece here about the Mega Man games on Sega



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    An interesting look at the Ultima series of games (for any oldies out there). The channel, MetalJesusRocks, is on my subbed list & is packed with content, definitely give it a look :)

    LGR is one i've been following for a longtime. Love his tone and voice :)
    Also it's great to see a retro gaming channel that's dedicated to proper computing and not just gaming console.
    He's also, along with Pat the NES Punk, one of the guys that popularized flea market, and game chasing, videos

    ^^ cheers looks good, will take a look :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,597 ✭✭✭BGOllie


    he's a big sims fan. I'm not into the sims but he somehow makes it interesting :)

    but check out his playlists, that's where the interesting stuff is:
    Dos Games
    Tech Tales
    Reviews

    and LGR Thrifts vids

    My favourite gaming Youtubers:

    Super BunnyHop better critiques than most big gaming news websites
    Noah Caldwell-Gervais similar to the above
    KieranMFilms cynical Australian behind the CoD Commentator parody 'Generic Geoff'
    Gggmanlives another aussie who does shooter reviews
    Eight Thoughts uses vulgar sexual language brilliantly
    ELPRESADOR mentally unstable 40-odd-year-old who loses his temper over online shooters and NFL
    MarleyThirteen scottish trolling videos

    Some Irish Channels
    RambushGaming sometimes angry Dubliner
    WilliamDHD hasn't uploaded in a long time, did some song parodies
    WayneWexford just gave up uploading

    Found it after some digging, I believe one of their tunes was the HVGN theme song previously. It's actually fairly enjoyable stuff

    Here's my subs

    Scott Manley
    Scott Manley is the Astronogamer - a rare fusion of gaming and science in one powerful combination. Able to deliver astonishing scientific facts while flying, or crashing digital simulations of spacecraft.

    Also occasionally shares cute videos of his kids.

    Game speedruns

    Errant Signal
    Here at Errant Signal we felt the world was lacking in internet reviews of videogames, so we set out to fill that void. Upon realizing it was standing room only, we decided to try that new Italian place instead.
