There was an interesting thread a while back of YouTube channels with (non let’s play) game commentary, rarities, or just things of general interest and I think it would be nice to have that in a more permanent form. Don’t feel like something is too “famous” or obvious to post it here, I guess?
Here are some design commentary and game review channels that were recommended in the last thread
PtoPOnline has a lot of interesting original footage of game prototypes
I also like little “quick hit” channels with oddball clips and commercials and whatnot
Matthew’s videos are sometimes a bit long, but always with good purpose, and really insightful. His Dark Souls commentary was a six and a half hour long playthrough from beginning to end, and I had to watch parts of it on-and-off, but it was worth it the whole time.
Just discovered Double Fine Productions’ youtube page which has a series in which Tim Schafer plays older games that have inspired the studio throughout the years with some of the people who worked on those games.
Alex and Danny are a super adorable husband-husband duo who frequently stream kusoge gleefully. Lots of really good historical content. Very educational.
BBB has been doing videogame content for like seven years? He’s one of the oldest streamers I know of (in his fifties iirc), and he’ll play literally anything and be really entertaining at it. His humor is really deadpan and understated and I frequently tune into his 10+ hour streams once a week just to hear him react to games or talk about how cool they are.
EDIT: adding a really late comment to say that BBB’s streams are good but I can’t guarantee the other people that comment in chat or on stream aren’t super gross
Oh! Now that I think of it, speaking of adorable couples who stream:
Clyde Mandelin (of Mother 3 fantranslation fame) streams with his wife Heidi and they work a lot of programming-gimmicks into the stream. They also do live translations of japanese-only games.
I assume this channel is known of, but I’m posting it just in case.
