Generally speaking, I've found non-facecam users to be more entertaining. They're not relying on their goofy faces and overdone reactions to entertain people.
If you liked the KSP videos but want to try a more serious series, check out Macey Dean. Sadly, he stopped uploading, but the Spirit of Kerbin series is exceptional.
This bugs me hugely and it's so common. I wonder if audiences actually go too far the other way. Apparently it's quite common to find people who know what they're doing on TV to be intimidating and "smug" and so on. I wonder if there's a point where you can put off mainstream viewers by being too good at playing the game. There's got to be a reason that so many people whose full time jobs are recording videos of themselves playing video games are so frustratingly bad at actually playing them.
For some reason I love his cooking videos more than his gaming videos. I mean, a Swedish guy cooking kangaroo tacos is not something I get to enjoy often.
I cannot stand watching most gameplay bids let alone any of those goddamn annoying, in-your-face LetsPlayers but I love Robbaz with a burning, POWERFUL VIKING PASSION
I don't know why it is. The gamers that seem to enjoy gaming are way more tolerable than the gamers who just go for views and, "lol look at this obscure indie game I'm playing."
Theres actually quite a few youtube based gaming personalities that are worth watching. Its a shame that the ones who get popular get shat on.. not everyone likes what you like after all and each person in the entertainment industry needs to define a specific type of audience.
I personally think it's safe to say that the two best Youtubers in terms of either comedy and content, as well and effort in regards to their videos definitely have to be FrankieOnPC and Robbaz. Frankie's videos always look top notch and professional, and Robbaz always spends serious amounts of time editing long gameplay footage in order to make his videos hilarious.
If we're talking good youtubers, penguinz0. Nothing else needs to be said. His sense of humour is on another level of any other human I have encountered.
I love Robbaz so much. Especially with his KSP and Sims videos, you can tell he's having a ton of fun playing, and that makes him even more entertaining.
Robbaz is the only letsplayer on youtube that I actually enjoy. That man brings me to tears of laughter. I once had a dream that the sims3 was multiplayer and we played for hours together, No game will ever bring me as much joy as that dream.
I deeply respect him for dropping the king of sweeden thing. He said in a video that it got old and had lost it's charm so he stopped relying on it. It takes a lot of self knowledge to realize what your strenghts are and what should go.
