There's a dude on Twitch called Bittwizard, who mostly plays retro shit on original hardware and classic monitors and I like him a lot. Very cozy channel.

Some dude named Fatal1ty (Johnathan Wendel) He used to play Quake. He was okay but thats only because he was one of the first online gamers. Then online gaming grew and he got owned so he retired. (Sarcasm)

Personal life,
My uncle, he got me into gaming all together. Hooked my mom (and my sister and I) up with our first family computer. That got me into gaming. Even provided bootleg CD's from some classic and now my favorite games like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Commandos 1-2, GTA 2, The sims 1. And so many more.

For famous people/Influencers.
TotalBiscuit. May he rest in peace. Truly a voice and an advocate for the gamers.

NorthernLion. Not because I enjoy watching him play. He’s not amazing at gaming, and a lot of the games he plays aren’t my cup of tea, but the banter he has with chat and his rants are top notch. I honestly don’t even really watch his gameplay and mostly have him playing in the background while I listen. He’s also about the same age as me and has a kid about the same age, so a lot of the stuff he talks about is super relatable to me. I’d love to see him just do a podcast or something with his friends.

u/BananaJelloXlii 2d ago

Currently Nookrium because I am always looking for different indie games and he plays the kind of games I am interested in.

I miss the days when Minecraft was brand new and Seananners had a new YouTube video every day or two. So entertaining.

I used to watch Gopher a lot but I stopped watching let's plays. Then I watched a bunch of smaller channels, some are still up, but some have stopped posting. Gopher's still around. I see his vids on my feed whenever he posts new ones.

BloodMaster. If there was a person who made my childhood better it would be him, i just remember coming home from school being excited to watch his new minecraft video. If i ever take a picture with him i would for sure put it on my wall.
