I am a huge fan of watching YouTube and I watch all different kinds of channels on the website. I am also a big fan of video games so it’s fun to bring these two things together! There are a ton of channels on YouTube based around playing or talking about video games, and these will be my personal top five favorite gaming channels.
Honorable Mentions (because picking five was really hard!) Caddicarus, Peanut Butter Gamer, and Did You Know Gaming
5) Jordan Underneath
This Channel is probably the smallest channel on this list, with only 100,591 subscribers at the time I’m writing this. Jordan is a young man who claims to be trapped in his basement where he sits alone and reviews games, mostly creepy and scary games. On this channel, you will find him review games that’s are not well known in his most popular series Hidden Games. He is not afraid to get deep or get weird on his channel and I find this to help him stick out in the ocean of YouTube gamers. You can check him out at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJcK_CBW0M6TwtpUl99psxg
4) Game Grumps
Holy cow it was hard to place this channel at only number 4 with how much time I spend watching them. This channel has many different series on it; Steam Train, Table Flip, Grumps VS, and probably the most popular being Game Grumps. Game Grumps is a show based solely on playing videogames with a comedy voice over from stars Arin and Danny. This series is not so much about being good at games but just playing games and having a good laugh with friends. With how many games they have played I’m sure almost anyone could find an episode to enjoy. Watch them at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9CuvdOVfMPvKCiwdGKL3cQ
3) Game Theory
Hello everyone and welcome to GAME THEORY! Now this is not your average gaming channel, you rarely see actual live game play for more then maybe a few minutes. This channel brings Science, Math, and a videogame all together. I know at first this may seem like something a bit to educational, but actually they take theories about videogames and try to discover if they make sense and could be true. Plus, at times it can be funny, the narrator known as Mat Pat puts a lot a lot of work into his episodes and likes to make sure he knows what he’s talking about. Some of their most popular episodes are their series following the Five Nights at Freddie’s games. If you’re interested in more than just game play, give them a try. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo_IB5145EVNcf8hw1Kku7w
2) Jacksepticeye
Probably the channel with the weirdest name on the list, Jacksepticeye also known as "Just Jack" is a game play channel where you really don’t come for the games but for Jack’s personality. His big and loud personality is so much fun to watch and listen to as he plays though many different kinds of games. His Irish accent and very loud voice helps him stand out from other gamers. His channel started to gain popularity after he won a shout out contest where one of the most subscribed gaming YouTubers, Pewdiepie, made a shout out to him in a video to all his viewer sending them to Jacks Channel. Some of his most popular videos are his Muddy Heights and Grand Theft Auto play through. You can find his channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/jacksepticeye
1) Markiplier
Now for my number one YouTube gamer Mr. Marki Moo better known as Markiplier. He has been making videos sense 2012 and is so much fun to watch. I first started watching him when the Five Nights at Freddy games started coming out, he was surprisingly good at these scary games and would not give up easily on then. After beating them all he is now also known as the King of Five Nights at Freddie’s. From this I discovered more and more of his videos and began to enjoy him for his personality. Mark sees and understands exactly how popular he is on YouTube with 15,452,595 subscribers and yet he does not let it get to his head. Often times, he makes use of his fame to raise money for charity by livestreaming and talking to his viewers, he even donates a lot of his own money to these charities sometimes. He is fun to watch and seems to be a honestly good person. Check out his channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7_YxT-KID8kRbqZo7MyscQ
