Demolition D+-He's had some serious issues with getting his Youtube account suspended, but I think things are in order now. My number one source for anime reviews and humour, as well as my role model for how I want lead my life (also his Twitch channel is really good)

Super Best Friends-As other people have said, these guys deserve a lot more love, considering Game Grumps heavily ripped off their style of videos (hell, even JonTron himself admitted that they were originally an inspiration for their channel). The fact that GG is so popular that people actually think it's the other way around drives me up the wall sometimes. Not only do I find SBFP much more entertaining, but their humour and commentary is always directly tied to what's happening within the game they're playing, as well as having prior knowledge of said game that they're about to play.

Mathewmatosis-Great review and analyst of games. Really like the way he breaks down a game into their bare components and tries to figure out what works and doesn't. His outlook on game franchises sometimes scream with nostalgia bias (e.g. DS 2 and Oddworld New and Tasty) and his reviews on old franchises like Zelda and MGS are more enjoyable than his reviews of modern games (e.g. Bioshock Infinite) but otherwise a really enjoyable channel.

Supperbunnyhop-Probably my favourite video game related channel on the internet. Really enjoy the insightful and interesting observations he brings up in different games, while also simultaneously being able to enjoy and appreciate the campyness of goofy games (e.g. Revgeance, MGS 3)

The Completionist-While not the most intellectual reviewer out there, and I don't particularly care for the humour in his video much, I appreciate the lengths that Jirard goes to complete and experience every facet of a game and the fact that he does it on a weekly basis. It authenticates his opinion to me more in an industry where reviewers really don't seek out to experience everything a game has to offer. He's also fairly honest with his opinions, even if they can be upsetting to games with a large fanbase (e.g. his review of Skyrim)

Caddicarus-Again, not the most intellectual reviewer, but as somebody who grew up playing PS 1 and 2, it's great to see a channel dedicated to actually reviewing and talking about games I played as a kid, as opposed to the other 80% of youtube video game reviewers that focus on Nintendo primarily.

Giantbomb-This one barely counts, since a majority of their content is on their website which gets the biggest amount of focus, and them posting their non-subscriber videos on youtube is merely a second thought, but I might as well use that technicality to include them because no other group of internet personalities has given me endless hours of entertainment, comedy, frustration and absolute joy than the duders at GB. Whether it be the Persona 4 Endurance Run, Load our Last Souls, Quick Looks, Metal Gear Scanlon, Giant Bombcast, Mario Party Party, Random PC games, Backflips n Bioforge and Breaking Brad, I have felt more gratified paying to become a subscriber for them than paying for cable television.

Chinchilla Dave-A slightly more obscure let's player who went on hiatus a while ago, but is back for good. He has a hilarious let's play series of Skyrim, where he tries to play the game and fails spectacularly in a multitude of ways, while completely ransacking all the swiss cheese he can find throughout the entirety in the land of Skryim. He's one of the least cynical, fun and nice Let's player and overall great guy I've had the pleasure of finding on Youtube, and his current twitch stream of Dark Souls is a joy to watch.

Latest one i love is Marvel Explained (also has DC Explained channel). Being that i dont read comics but love the movies and characters themselves. Its good to have a channel that speaks through the Civil War, Age of Ultron and The Infinity Gauntlet comics. There is even some for the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe comics as well. lol. He goes indepth over multiple videos and goes into characters and tie ins when needed.

ShoddyCast - Does vids on Fallout and Dragon age lore.
