I watch Doug's stuff and Linkara regularly. Will watch the Nostalgia Chick and Brad Jones if they're going something I think sounds interesting. Spoony fell into the latter category as well but I guess he doesn't count anymore. On a side note, I've been following the site since shortly after the First Anniversary Brawl, and in all that time I still never found out - what does Bennett the Sage review/do for the site? From what I can tell - don't follow him, but watched some of his stuff - he mostly handles anime but really just does whatever the hell he feels like.

BTW, Whats everyones thoughts on Linkara's recent riff videos? The first one he did (A Word to the Wives) wasnt very good, but the other ones ive seen are pretty good.

I regularly follow Linkara but didn't bother with his recent riff videos. If there's one thing I learned from buying the "Best of Nostalgia Critic" DVD's it's this - I don't like riff videos.

He does anime in Anime Abandon, where he focuses on older anime from the early 2000's and before. Usually specifically the ultra violent, nudity infested, shlock that ran rampant at that time. He does video game reviews for another site, which are typically linked at TGWTG. Plus he does occasional cross-overs with other people. And, oh yeah, Suede, I almost forgot about him. I follow him too...when he bothers to update.

I like Todd, Snob and Rap Critic.
I only watch Linkara videos if he's reviewing superhero comics.
Doug's Video Game Confessions are pretty good, but he obviously doesn't put much priority on them compared to his other stuff.
I'm noticing a bit of a pattern in that very few people here seem to enjoy any of the Blistered Thumbs video game critics. Not that I'm any different. Just saying.

I see there isn't anyone else but me that watches the Buster on here...kind of scares me lol.
But then again from what I saw in a comments section when the teaser for his Episode 1 review went up alot of those folk were blasting him..and it was just a teaser , now I am wondering if I missed something he did or said that really spurred an angry bunch against him.

Cinema Snob Sage Oancitizen Todd In The Shadows Nostalgia Chick Rap Critic Welshy (only his retrospectives) Angry Joe (VERY occasionally)
A lot of the ones I like to watch don't update a lot anymore. I used to love JO's Anime Reviews and Digimon Retrospectives, but she seems to have paused for now. Ditto for Linkara's History of Power Rangers, but he hasn't made a new one in almost a year.
I am nowhere near as attached to TGWTG as I used to be. The internet review bubble has burst for me, and it's only the very insightful or very entertaining (see above list) that really interest me anymore.

I've watched some of Buster's stuff, it's not bad, per se. Just...so unoriginal to me, it feels like a paint by numbers review show, where he's done very little to give it his own twist or take. At times, almost feeling like he's parodying review shows more than he's actually doing one.

The ones I would call myself a fan of are Diamanda Hagan & Obscurus Lupa. I also always try to tune into WTFIWWY with Nash and Tara (<3).
Todd, Doug, Film Brain, Angry Joe, JesuOtaku, MarzGurl, Brad Jones & his Team, Team NChick (Mostly Nella) are the ones that I enjoy when I remember.
The only one I'd say I've watched and don't "get it" is Bennett the Sage.

I'm not really someone for game-related videos in general with the exception of Spoony. I'm one of those rare folks who takes a screenshot Let's Play over a video one every day of the week. Unrelated to this but motivated to bring it up, reminds me of what a nosedive the Agony Booth took after it switched from being text-focused to almost exclusively having videos. Not related to anything just damn did the site go from one I went to constantly to being something I don't even bother with.

Speaking of Linkara, i actually prefer him when he does really obscure or oddball comics (like this week's review of a Happy Days comic). Its generally more entertaining seeing his reactions to it, and the fact that for the most part these things havent been collected (as opposed to stuff like countdown) adds to the fun. I still like his superhero reviews, but the really strange comics is where he shines IMO.

I love WTFIWWY, which makes it funny as hell that for all the channels on YouTube who normally upload stuff from Blip (for people who have trouble with Blip), there is so little of his stuff up there. No Live WTFIWWY, none of his Doctor Who stuff (makes sense, though, considering the BBC can be a bit of a ball buster)...

And for that matter, there are a lot of things I disagree with him on. Not sure what it is I enjoy about his work exactly, but I do watch pretty regularly.
