Video games have become an integral part of childhood for many individuals, and the joy they bring can continue well into adulthood. Whether you were a child, teenager, or full-grown adult when Nintendo released their first console or when Sony blew the world away with the PS3, you’ll likely agree that games will always have the ability to make people feel incredibly happy.
As gaming became more and more popular over the years, many individuals made it their goal to create engaging content online about games to share with the world.
Thanks to platforms like YouTube and Twitch, it’s become possible for gamers to form special relationships and platforms that make the game-viewing experience unique.
Seeking out creators who demonstrate meaningful relationships is a great way to find entertaining, but also thoughtful and valuable, content for just about any type of game.
Game Grumps – Arin and Dan
Game Grumps is a “let’s play” channel with its original members being Arin, a well-known animator, and Jon from JonTron, another popular Youtube series.
While the latter left for his own reasons, Arin kept the channel going through his new partnership with Dan of Ninja Sex Party, a musical comedy show.
Arin and Dan’s friendship contributes to Game Grumps significantly; the two play a wide variety of games ranging from popular titles such as Breath of the Wild to more obscure gems like The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout. They have good chemistry with one another, share personal stories, and make frequent appearances at conventions.
Runaway Guys – Chuggaconroy, Nintendocaprisun, ProtonJon
In 2008, Chuggaaconroy released his first “Let’s Play” video on Youtube, marking the beginning of his continuing career as one of Youtube’s most beloved Let’s Players. As he gained more popularity, Chuggacontroy started a collaboration channel with Nintendocaprisun and ProtonJon called “Runaway Guys.”
Their first playthrough was Mario Party, and gameplay combined with Chugga’s puns, Protonjon’s playful banter with Chugga, and Nintendocaprisun wanting to have a good time, helped the three become an instant classic on Youtube.
They expanded their channel beyond pre-recorded videos by putting together events at video game conventions so that fans can come in person and enjoy their wacky antics.
Girlfriend Reviews – Shelby and Matt
GirlfriendReviews began when a woman named Shelby wanted to record her experiences of watching her boyfriend, Matt, play Red Dead Redemption 2. When the video went viral in 2019, the couple decided to produce more content.
Soon enough, the two became popular in the YouTube space. Matt writes and edits the videos, while Shelby voices the videos while adding her own unique spin to them.
Their combined knowledge of video games, shows, movies, and other mediums results in entertaining jokes and well-edited moments throughout their videos.
Conclusion
Good content creators put much of their heart and soul into each project, making videos that will stand the test of time.
No matter who you choose, so long as you are drawn to their online personality, you can set yourself up to have a good time and even find yourself in an active community of like-minded fans.
