I'd take a thousand Pewdiepies over angryjoe, and I don't even like Pewdiepie. Angryjoe comes off as a spoiled child to me. He made a video about the new ContentID bullshit, and although I agreed with pretty much all of his feelings on the topic, his rant made me feel almost more sympathetic to even the false copyright claimants than him. I guess I just don't like getting angrily screamed and hear constant moaning and complaining from a guy who plays video games for a living.
I'm honestly surprised you guys haven't heard of Jackfrags or FrankieonPCin1080p. They're by a wide margin my favorites, but I suppose I'm more clued into them because of DayZ. Still, both strike me as being much more agreeable, and at least in Frankie's case, mature than a lot of gaming Youtubers out there. He doesn't put a huge effort into trying to be hilarious in his commentary and I enjoy the videos all the more for it. I often get the impression from people like Tobuscus and Pewdiepie that they're just doing anything they can to make themselves appear funny, whereas the humor seems to come more naturally from the events in videos themselves from the Youtubers I like the most.
The quality is also flawless in Frankie's case, and I really want to know exactly what his method is for getting Youtube to cooperate and not horrifically degrade the video. I use the same recording and editing software as him and a lot of other Youtube gamers, but not getting anything near to the same end result of uploaded videos.
To give an example, check out the beginning to this video from Frankie. He's using the same codec and program (Dxtory) as me, with the same editing software (Vegas), and playing on a game with basically the same engine as the one I'm working with, or in the case of newer videos, the exact same engine. This example shows a nighttime shot, which seems to be the most telling aspect of the quality of my uploads- it's damn near unwatchable at night, just a pixelated mess. It looks as good as it can get in his, even when it's not being played in 1080p.
