Any Good Video Game Collectors on YouTube?

[Games Retrospect]

I'm looking for some collectors on YouTube that teach me about old and new games. I'm already subscribed to John Hancock, Metal Jesus Rocks and BeatEmUps, but I'm also looking for something new. I love seeing other people's collections, game rooms and rare finds, but I also want to learn about hidden gems, forgotten games or overlooked titles no one talks about. My favorite, hands down, is Metal Jesus because he seems like a cool dude, he has a ton of games to talk about, he always brings people to his channel when he doesn't know a lot about a particular topic, he has a great sense of humor and he kind of stays away from certain trends (violent editing and tons of let's plays.) Also, he also talks about music and vinyl which I also like. His channel isn't perfect, but I look forward to his new weekly videos. So any suggestions? I bet there are hundreds of people I have no idea about that are doing some amazing things out there.

I would have said classic gameroom, but he has turned into a huge dbag.

Game Dave talks about wacky Famicom games and accessories here and there. I like the cut of his jib.

Not video game related though. Currently on my bike heading to the Northwest territories... the Beaufort sea.:-)

Most, if not all, are awful. Most of them seem to be far more interested in an identity along with some weird consumerist branding.

Virtually all them do their "shows" in a room full of memorabilia.

 

I know you said you were looking more for collectors, but mostly all of these people come off really sad.

How about Metal Jesus, a well-respected member of this forum and has a huge collection of games.

I'm in the minority but I absolutely can not STAND that guy.

What I don't like about these collectors showing off their collections is that everything is presented in a formulaic manner. Each video looks and sounds the same. Even the mechanics of production and editing. They're all so full of sameness.

What would you like to see that nobody's doing on YouTube these days? Or what would you change from the way people present their collections/game room tours and so on? Personally, I have trouble watching videos with too many jokes and furious editing, but the ones I do like I don't think feel that similar to each other.

He doesn't even make reviews on YouTube anymore. He makes videos that do nothing but advertise his crap.

LGR (Lazy Game Reviews) - focuses on old school PC games and hardware; has an absolutely huge collection and really knows his stuff:

Have you looked at GameSack? They can seem a bit forced sometimes, but the info is solid and they cover a ton of games.

HappyConsoleGamer does wicked reviews.
