Sorrow. Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm not sure if you guys know what I'm talking about but I'll give a little review of what I'm talking about. Well gaming is quite a big thing in Youtube, next to Asian comedians, or that annoying Fred creature... So this means that there are commentators in the Video Game section, the most famous commentator I believe is xJawz. He has done a lot for Youtube like posting up gameplays that are usually Live Black Ops videos. I've seen him do other video games like Portal or Crysis. But enough of me praising him, I want to know if you know any other commentators that are pretty famous. I don't care if its CoD or not but please share with me some famous gaming commentators. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Unless they have a good voice, good humor, and know what they are doing, the commentary is unnecessary, especially during in game dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catterjune Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 The only way that would work (IMO) is if: a ) It's a game in which there's little dialogue or plot, like a multiplayer FPS or a racing game b ) The plot is nonsensical and has plenty of down time to let you get your clever quips in, like an RPG. And even then, I don't think showing someone physically playing the game and commenting while playing is a good idea. >_> For example, if I was commenting on Final Fantasy X, I'd probably say how it has bad voice acting [-Cut to laughing scene-] and how the plot makes no sense, from the group taking down countless guards [-video of them fighting guards] yet giving up when they reach Yuna [-clip of them surrendering-] to a regulation blitzball being one of the most powerful weapons in the world. [-Cut to Wakka's ball delivering 9999 damage and killing Sin-] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 chuggaaconroy NintendoCapriSun SlimKirby ... I could go on and on, but I'm really just naming LPers, not commentators. "Commentators" play games like CoD or more action-oriented games, while Let's Players play a wider variety of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 LPs are cool time wasters. Some people are good at it and they double as really good walk throughs at times too. Chugga is a great example and easily one of the most famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anbu-of-Sand Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 SeaNanners ChrisSmoove xJawz WoodysGamertag Whiteboy7thst ONLYUSEmeBLADE Cr1tIkAl (Or penguiz0) Blametruth Just some Commentators I watch that I can think of at the moment. I don't get why Whiteboy's are so popular / famous though, sure the gameplay is pretty awesome here and there, but the commentary itself doesn't 'wow' me or pull me in compared to like SeaNanners, and ChrisSmoove. Also, I find his voice a tad annoying at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hioco Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 SeaNanners and Captain Sparklez are my inspiration! They both have great voices, give some great advice, are both wise and have great lives, plus their famous! Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Chuggaaconroy ProtonJonSA NintendoCaprisun TheRunawayGuys JoshJepson alemaxhaxs Azureblade49 Those are who I watch. LPs are funny and can be very informative (Jon's LP of Superman 64, for instance). I see a different opinion on games I've already played, as well as get shown secrets that I may have not known existed. Failure is one of the best parts, it's just seeing someone scream a really long "NO!" or fall into angrish that makes me giggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twig Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 [u]BlueXephos[/u] Best minecraft commentators eveerrrrr. Simon should be on a top ten list of funniest people on youtube. [quote name='Anbu-of-Sand' timestamp='1303097359' post='5147423'] [u]Cr1tIkAl (Or penguiz0)[/u] [/quote] Also hilarious. Not to mention, he introduced everyone to QWOP. [u]HuskyStarcraft and HDstarcraft[/u] Both great commentators. I don't even have Starcraft, and I still watch them. xD [u]Haydunn[/u] Not many people know him because there's not much people who watch competitive Pokemon commentary, but he's hilarious. [u]TotalBiscuit[/u] Another funny person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 [i]there's not much people who watch competitive Pokemon commentary[/i] Unfortunately true. mtgxerxes has had such a long hiatus that I kind of got out of watching Pokemon battles on YouTube. I might get back into it once I need to start smarting up for Gen V. I feel like LPers need to have a balance of knowledge and comedy. SlimKirby, for example, is one of my favorite LPers, but he's too much about "knowledge" and "information" and therefore his videos aren't as funny as other people.
