Sure, on YouTube, you've got your IGN and G4 videos that keep you updated with the latest in gaming news and technological eye candy. But what about the deep cuts lurking within the rest of the gaming section? The platform is full of speed runs, time trials, reviews and play-throughs by lifelong gamers who have cult followings.
These are the elite of that set. Promoted by some of the best gaming websites, such as ScrewAttack and Machinima, these gamers are known for bringing in-depth knowledge, radical gameplay and a dash of humor for good measure. Some of them are gonzo, some are straight-laced, and still others are so mind-blowingly ridiculous that they can border on NSFW. What you won't see here is the same hot video game everywhere you look: from old-school classics to underground indie games, every platform gets its moment in the spotlight.
If you're a gamer and you haven't already done so, add these five picks to your channel subscription feed as soon as possible. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
