Cool! I’d probably give that a watch depending if I could handle it
(But if you don’t want to say the games or channels that’s cool)
There’s a lovely chill channel called Many A True Nerd that does fun let’s plays.
All kinds of games, and he’ll swing between doing one offs to check something new out to doing big long series if he thinks the game needs that much time to shine.
Also occasional other videos for special occasions, like The Time He Tried To Turn His Cat Into A Cake (Jon can’t cook, so it…only sort of worked)
Cheers, I’ll take a look
Oh yeah sorry 😂 my brains fuzzy this morning!
Channels:
THEY_CALL_ME_X - https://youtube.com/@they_call_me_x Smaller channel, but I like his voice a lot
Wendigoon - https://youtube.com/@wendigoon Sometimes games, sometimes analog horror, sometimes real horror
Roanoke Gaming - https://youtube.com/@roanokegaming A biologist who explores fictional entities/pathogens from movies/games and explains how they could work biologically
Keemsama - https://youtube.com/@keemsama Just a guy who plays through horror games, but he acts likes a normal person and gets scared/shocked. Not over the top, but extremely funny
Knvif - https://youtube.com/@knvifrr Mostly Minecraft horror mods but has such a lovely voice - no over the top loud reactions, super chill
Flawed Peacock - https://youtube.com/@flawedpeacock This is hands down my favourite, he does super long (4h-10h) analysis videos on games and movies, and recently the book The King in Yellow. If you're gonna watch any of these channels, watch his. He took the false dichotomy of "quality Vs quantity" and decided on both 😂 I believe he'll be doing House of Leaves soon, but his next video should be Hypnospace Outlaw (a fantastic game I've played). You don't need to see the movies, read the books, or play the games, to get something from his videos; they're all explained extremely well, and his multiple whiteboards and his narration help keep track of it all.
Get floppy with it!!
These all look really cool, thanks
