Advise a good gaming vlogger

A video blog or video log, sometimes shortened to vlog, is a form of blog for which the medium is video. It would be very useful to gather links to talented and inspirational people in this thread, the ones we can go watch videos with when we want a deeper analysis of this or that game, company, or gaming trend. Share your favourite channels!

Since the original thread was nuked, I'll restore recommendations that were already given (I do it from my head, sorry if I forgot someone).

@m7600 advised the channel of Gaming Historian. I now am an avid fan of that channel as well. It's a documentary series all about the history of video games. The show is researched, written, edited, and created by Norman Caruso.

Here is a good example:


@alice_ashpool recommended NeverKnowsBest. Again, I watched a few videos, and I'm a fan.


I recommend Matt Chat, a YouTube show hosted and produced by Dr. Matt Barton, a professor at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. Matt is among the best-known academics studying video games today.

There was a relatively recent article explaining how influential Matt had become:


"In one interview he asked Brian Fargo what a sequel to Wasteland might look like, and Fargo spitballed a few ideas. A year later those ideas had grown into a Kickstarter pitch for Wasteland 2, which ultimately produced a successful game. “He has acknowledged that it kind of comes back to the moment in that interview where I asked him that question, and he started thinking about it, and got more and more excited about it,” Barton says. “So I like to think I really played a role in that.”

Here is an example of Matt's influence (so that an idea of an Enhanced Edition of Icewind Dale 2, previously buried, is now alive again):

Just saw this video, it's super nostalgic, especially for those of us that were born in the 80's and grew up during the 90's : )
