Arcsquad12 posted:To elaborate a bit on Chuck and SF Debris: This guy has a rather insane work ethic that puts many other reviewers to shame. He has been uploading an average of two fifteen minute reviews a week for well over a decade, and has a backlog that is probably years long. Recently, he has had to suspend taking on anymore review requests due to stress until he can get the backlog under control. Also to note: he has been doing this while also raising two kids. The guy is a machine when it comes to producing content. He doesn't have much flair when it comes to style, but his reviews are chock full of detail, and like the guys above have said, he is open to just about anything. He has been intermittently posting videos on Gurren Lagann and Kino's Journey, and he did Gundam 0080 a while ago so he does have good stuff to review. And to add on to that incredible backlog, when he reviewed 0080 he also said that other Gundam stuff was on his to do list, and literal years after the fact has still not done anything else even remotely Gundam related. Terrible Opinions posted:He also works full-time as a teacher. I thought he quit so he could work from home?

AriadneThread posted:yeah, i mean, i don't begrudge him for sticking with something if it's working for him, i'm just amazed it's still working when the escapist is a empty-husk of a website Speaking of Extra Credits, aside from their main show (which is mostly okay to occasionally pretty good) they also have Extra History where they spend 4-6 episodes picking some less known historical moments, or the lives of historical figures and giving a crash course narrative on them. I'd recommend their series on Admiral Yi for one of their best sets, but most the stuff in there is really fascinating and an easy listen. On the negatives though, the narrator, Daniel, edits his voice over to give it a higher pitch which I know annoys the poo poo out of some people, and they also make frequent mistakes (flags in particular, to the point that it's kind of running joke) though they do own up to these whenever they can. Almost every topic ends with an extra video where the writer points out mistakes that they made as well as pointing out where they fudged details to make for a better story. You could also argue that they're shallow and don't really delve into the meat of the subjects they're tackling.

If anyone is into videogame speedruns, a youtuber named Summoning Salt has been releasing videos on popular speedruns (Mario, Punch Out, etc.) and how their world records have developed over time. It's pretty neat stuff, though a little dry. This one is for the Super Metroid world record.

A guy by the name of Jon Bois a series called Pretty Good, which are about stories, mostly sports stories, that he finds genuinely entertaining. It's kind of confusing to find, as the first ten are on his personal Youtube channel, and the latest one is on SB Nation, which I'm pretty sure is a website he works for(?) Here's his thoughts on professional poker and how absolutely insane it is. Here's an episode on the career of Lonnie Smith The story of the Dumbest Boy Alive The utter depravity that was the 1904 Olympic Marathon My personal favorite, the most humiliating, crushing defeat in football history

If you're not already sick of videos dissecting The Dark Knight, Rant & Bollox analyzes the movie through the theme of identity I'd recommend some of his other videos too, particularly the ones on Green Lantern, Terminator 1 & 2, and Batman v Superman

Down the Rabbit Hole on Rajneeshpuram, a new age movement that managed to take over an Oregon city and morphed into hilariously inept supervillainy.
