Even more boring than I’d have you believe.
Is that what happened? I occasionally check reddit at work since it’s unfortunately still one of the better places for actual answers to things, and in the last few days I’ve needed to use old.reddit.com to get around getting blocked. VPN block explains a lot.
I’ve replayed the VR sketch so many times already, it’s so great to see these guys again. It’s also been cool to see either of them show up in other places, Nick was a guest on an episode of Game Changer a while ago (also he’s apparently married to Karen Gillan now??)
I’ve never seen someone else in the wild that watches Cracking the Cryptic. Such a nice and cozy channel.
Here’s a few slightly lesser known creators that I’m a big fan of:
Aliensrock, let’s player who mainly focuses on puzzle games. He gives good commentary on his though process and there’s just something comfy and satisfying about watching a smart person solve puzzles.
Atrocity Guide, makes long form documentaries on unusual people and groups, etc. She always dives down some absolutely bizarre and fascinating rabbit holes. Personal favorites are her videos on Ullillillia and Nasubi.
Bloodrunsclear, stitches together clips of movies and TV shows to create fake movie trailers.
Britanick, legendary sketch comedy duo, every one of their videos has had me in tears laughing. They stopped uploading as much after becoming professional movie and TV writers, but have come back with a patreon in light of the writers strike.
Monstergarden, this guy who’s been designing a strange and fascinating twist on the traditional fantasy setting via artwork, in universe writing, and even a short animation or two.
The Exploring Series, an SCP youtuber who goes into very in depth explanations of various SCP articles, as well as occasionally talking about other franchises like 40k or reading Lovecraft stories. Pretty much my only connection to SCP stuff anymore, I mainly like his voice and use his videos to go to sleep.
Venjent, a drum n bass artist that started blowing up on tiktok after he made a dnb track out of a creaky door. Extremely cheesy, but he’s so sincere and friendly that the cheesiness is charming, it helps that the songs are all bangers too.
Night Mind, explores and discusses various pieces of internet horror and “unfiction”. As someone that grew up on ARGs and creepypasta, Night Mind is singlehandedly keeping my love of internet horror content alive.
I was in the same situation but with Ross and Barry playing through it on Game Grumps. Even without playing it myself though, the game is truly something special.
Huh, somehow completely blew past my radar. Thanks for the info!
