Favourite Youtubers you're subscribed to?

(1/2) > >>

DeviantProtagonist:
Everyone here's got their favourite videos to watch here and there, but are you subscribed to someone who consistently puts out quality stuff? Things you just have to watch every single video from them the moment it hits your page? Could be just about anything from those golden apples, really. The fact we could share our favourites will do good for everybody. :3 Here's two examples from my end:

1. Ashens. He's a cynical, deadpan reviewer from the UK. He does all sorts of items, but usually deliveries from subscribers and cheap tat from what are essentially dollar stores. His judgement is pretty much spot on, and it'll often have you laugh your ass off, or cringe at the things he's been blessed with. Said things he looks at are extremely variable too, often at his own expense at that. Case in point, two of his videos which deal with wickedly bad delicacies and generally half-assed action figures. :3

2. Igor Presnyakov. He's a Russian acoustic guitarist with great renown. As a YT sensation, he appeals to his fanbase with numerous covers of classic songs or even that of themes from popular franchises. To that end, some examples are Michael Jacksons' Smooth Criminal or the Super Mario Bros. theme. Igor also rarely sings any of the lyrics to any kind of song that he covers, and instead skillfully translates them into a guitar melody, having his instrument sing the words. He's also notable for his technique in drumming with his guitar, melding it seamlessly with said music.

Doccjazz4/David Erick Ramos
Basically he plays ocarina on his channel. They are mostly covers from games, anime, movies and other sources, but he also has a few songs he composed himself. He also has several videos on teaching people how to read sheet music and how to play ocarina, he also has some ocarina review videos. Though in the past few months his channel has been quiet, most probably due to his first album (which he financed with kickstarter).

During his kickstarter campaign he was short a few hundred dollars a day before the deadline, so i decided to pitch in 500$ and opt for the youtube cover of my choice: Yakusoku. Unfortunately it hasn't been finished yet, but i hope that will come soon, i expect it to be amazing. Not to mention he promised me the sheet music so i can practice the song myself.
I basically picked up the ocarina because of him and learned how to play it trough him, so those 500$ were also a way to give him a big thanks.

Chance4U:
tsukushi1 & cceef1333
They basically are two iM@S channels on hacked videos. I am astounded by their work and usage of both costumes and motion data. I've always wanted to figure out how to do what they do (mainly to have 876PRO onstage together), so their work is really inspiring to me. Unfortunately, cceef1333 hasn't posted anything in a LONG time... tsukushi1 updates every two or three months. Whenever they update though, I tend to drop everything to watch their posts.

Amazing_Grace:
OK, so I've never been so addicted to someone that I watch EVERY SINGLE VIDEO THEY'VE EVER MADE, but I do have some Youtubers that I just can't get enough of.

1. Tobuscus
Ah, Toby Turner. He never fails to make me smile. Whether it's a ridiculous song parody (haha I don't know how to make the cool words-that-link-to-videos like you guys do so you'll have to find one on your own :3), a ridiculous ORIGINAL song, a ridiculous literal trailer song...everything he does is just ridiculous. And since I'm ridiculous, it's my kind of humor. :3

2. PewDiePie
Pewds~...no favorite Youtuber list would be complete without at least one Bro. That's right, I am a Bro. PewDiePie's ridiculously funny. All of his Let's Plays make me laugh, even when the game is supposed to be terrifying/really dramatic, like Amnesia or Heavy Rain. If he didn't curse so much, he'd probably be, like, my top favorite Youtuber. As it is, I still love watching him.

3. Jessica Nash or [Razzy] The Musical Lyricist
Well, I'm a sucker for Vocaloid songs. Jessica Nash, otherwise known as Miku-tan (it is her, I swear it), is an English cover artist who covers songs from Vocaloid and other popular franchises. Razzy is also an English cover artist who uploads some of Miku-tan's covers himself and sings quite wonderfully, if not almost over-the-top sometimes.
It's awesome when they sing together, like when Miku-tan provided the voice for Miku in Razzy's cover of The Madness of Duke Venomania (extra points to Robert, the voice of Kaito in that song, too) or when Miku-tan and Razzy joined with Shiroko, another cover artist, to sing Choose Me. WHEE~. It's beautiful.
Honestly, Jessica Nash/Miku-tan is so incredibly good at singing, I want her to become a professional. I suggest her Egoselfish cover, it's impeccable.

I've found that Jessica Nash and I sing very similar in terms of style. We both have pretty thick voices, go into our head voices easily, scoop notes often, and as evidenced by her World is Mine cover, when we're supposed to be saying something in a song that sounds cute, we tend to speak in a really cute voice and try to make ourselves sounds cuter than we really are :P That doesn't mean my voice is like hers. I just WISH it were. XD

4. WatchMojo.com
OK, I don't know if these guys even count, but they make Top Ten lists, and I really love watching them. Maybe it's just because I like lists. But they always give an interesting commentary, and occasional clips from the media in question helps. That, and the fact that they made a Top Ten voice acting in video games list, and Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us were included.

So, yeah. That's pretty much it.

Anyway:
- TotalBiscuit. I guess I don't have to tell who he is (just in case - he critiques games. Not reviews, though - most of his videos are a first impressions series called "WTF is?!"). Yes, he has some controversial opinions, he can be a dick, and self control is one of his worst feats (which he often shows on social media). But his videos are good and he's a PC elitist, so the most important things are there. :-P

- Classic Game Room. Veteran of internet gaming video journalism (he was part of the first "professional" online gaming show "The Game Room", back in 99), fan of old games with a Vectrex fetish has a new show. Contrary to the name, he reviews newer games as well and even more: pinball machines (I think he has another dedicated channel for that), toys, comic books etc. Hell, I think he also reviewed food and accessories a few times. Not exactly sure why I like it so much - I guess it's that combination of low-budget cheesiness, humour, his general optimism and passion about the games and actually kinda decent reviews. I don't care what he reviews, usually I'll just have fun and relax anyway.
Sadly, he moved from YouTube to Dailymotion (which is pretty crappy) because of the recent copyright claim BS. He still posts non-footage videos, which usually are either non-gaming reviews or kinda preview-like ones.

- Extra Credits. Another gaming channel. This time they usually don't critique (although they have "games you might have missed" lists once in a while), but have this kinda short lecture/column pieces, usually about game design or gaming in general. Often really interesting. Topics range from quest design to things like uncanny valley and so-called "J. C. Penny effect" to many other things. Just look at the video list.
