is he /ourguy/?
>>96829083Traditional games?
>>96829083He talks about games and reads them, so he is too qualified
>>96829083Literally who?If this is some retarded YouTube celebrity shit, you're a faggot, OP.
Oh yeah, he's the guy who does videos about obscure board games like Campaign for North Africa. I saw some of that. He's alright as far as youtubers go.
>>96829083He seems to avoid making Political Statements or Ethical Value Statements of any kind other than "is it ethically permissible to make a truly unfun board game on purpose?" or "is it right or proper to make a plastic gadget that can be used ONLY to play a worse version of rock-paper-scissors and sell it for over five dollars?"which immediately makes me like him because hot fucking damn I am tired of nerd media being consumed by political grifters to the point that everyone else seems to need to ideologically signal in a major way, constantly.Whatever he thinks politically and ideologically he keeps it out of my entertainment and that's good.
Influencer culture and its consequences have been a disaster for traditional games.
>>96829083He's pretty alright for a small youtuber. He's also quite good at actually finding and talking about things that are genuinely obscure, instead of being one of those faggots that goes>Today we're going to talk about a little under-appreciate hidden gem called... Settlers of Catan!
Who the fuck is that?
>>96829083After watching his video about ttrpgs it game me the impression he just reads other people's reviews of games instead of doing his own research.
>>96830903Watching that video now. He's clearly gone through most of them, or at least skimmed them, otherwise he wouldn't have dozens of examples from each one to bring up as part of the video. It's also an hour and a half long and I doubt you'd really want him to do a cover to cover breakdown of each and every one of these games.
>>96830979He's also definitely more of a Boardgame kind of guy than a TTRPG kind of guy.
>>96830903He actually plays several of the games he's reviewed and has ported them to TTS for others to play so it's definitely not just "read and regurgitate reviews". Like 15 Love, he actually got a copy to dunk on it in better detail by actually playing it and he figured out the optimal playstyle.
>>96829083Is that Matt Colville?
>>96829083He was literally one of us who got so enamored with Campaign for North Africa that he had to make a video about it, and it exploded.
>makes fun videos about semi-obscure tabletops >moderately entertaining>isn’t obnoxiousI like him, he’s pretty cool. Another tabletop youtuber I watch is that guy that had the monopoly cheaters edition crashout, I like following the board games he’s making and discovered him as a result of the aforementioned crashout that blew up to a couple million views.
>>96831456I was specifically talking about the ttrpgs
