2015 had some epic gamers on Youtube
In our spare time here at the Slickster headquarters, we enjoy catching up on some of our favorite video game YouTubers. Here is a list, in no certain order, of our favorites of the year:
Pat the NES Punk
Between producing new episodes of Flea Market Madness, Ask Frank, the NES Punk episodes, and his bi-weekly podcast with Ian Ferguson, Pat’s channel is both informative and fun. Oh, he is also releasing a book next year that reviews every Nintendo game ever made. Over here at Slickster we call him Productive Pat.
The Game Chasers
Our favorite couple of chodes here on the list, Billy and Jay, are one of YouTube’s first video game hunting channels. They venture around the country like a couple of vagabonds on the hunt for their treasure. Be on the lookout for their not-so-timely cameramen, Dodango and Melvor, to join in on the shenanigans every once in a while, too. When they are not busy chasing them games, you can find them helping out with charities like Toys For Tots.
James Rolfe/Mike Matei
Much like the aforementioned Productive Pat, James and Mike are constantly putting out content. In 2015 alone they put out their Monster Madness, a full season of Board James, James and Mike Mondays, and new episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd, proving that YouTube’s gaming pioneer still has it. We suggest you check out the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde trailer spoof.#VideoGames,#Youtubers,#Youtube.

The Gaming Historian
Norman Caruso’s documentary-style series is the perfect show to watch on a dreary, rainy day. If learning about the history and mechanics of our favorite machines is something your interested in, then look no further. While his content may not be as frequent as some of the above mentioned, they are worth the wait. His latest video on Saturo Iwata had the Slickster staff in tears.
Happy Console Gamer
Johnny Millenium is the most excitable guy on the list. If Neo-Geo is something you’re looking to learn more about, then be sure to check him out. Johnny usually puts out 2-3 videos a week. From touching upon newer trending topics, to retelling nostalgic stories from yesteryear, one thing is certain, when he tells a story, he has a way of making the viewer feel like they are there with him. Now if we could just have more RobMan then all would be good.
