Useful Info (for Nerds, Geeks, and Guys on Shorts) - YouTube and Videogames II

Ok, so I've been in YouTube for a tad too long. Sue me.

Anyway, I have found three excellent sources of videogame info on the YouTube-net, in the form of three geek-sounding usernames. I'll list them and describe them to you, the kind reader who found this because you like videogames and the Stumbleupon Toolbar.

The first one I found (and, by far, the most trustworthy) is peanut3423, who disguises himself as the Autarch of Flame (He makes a Zelda joke where the Autarch of Flame is the bearded guy in the middle of the marsh)

 At least his YouTube name is a lot cooler than his real name...

Autarch of Flame a very theoretical gamer that usually describes games as they are, no joking or straying from the gist of the situation. His videos are usually countdowns, out of which some of my favorites are:
  • Top 15 Awesome Boss Battles
  • Top 15 Final Battles
  • Top 10 Worst Videogame Clichés
Oh, this is his profile pic, something that looks like a reference to Ganondorf being a clone of Captain Falcon because he is throwing a Falcon -ahem, Warlock- Punch.

He merely disguises it as "AaaaaaaaarrrAAAAAGGHH!!"
Ok, on to the second one: joshscorcher, the Fiery Joker. He's less of a serious guy than the Autarch of Flame (hence the stage name) but he still excels in the game info section. He gets on the kinda weird side of videogames, as some of his countdowns are:
  • 10 Scary Music Tracks from Non-Horror Games (2008 Halloween, 4 the lolz)
  • Top 15 Craziest Characters
  • Top 10 Most Overrated Games
He is the only one on this list whose face I have actually seen: he makes a cameo in the Craziest Characters video, calling 911 because of a masochist pedophile who ranks 2nd in the list.

And here's his profile picture, which predictably shows:
A Joker. Setting fire to a pile of money. Hence the stage name.
It may be quite interesting to mention that Autarch of Flame and Fiery Joker occasionally team up, and publish masterpieces under the [logically merged] stage name Laughing Autarch. it seems that, although their opinions (and their maturity) differ, they share views on certain aspects of gaming. Without this mutual thinking, we wouldn't have:
  • Top 15 Disturbing Bosses from Non-Horror Games (Halloween 2010... no need to explain)
  • Top 15 Most Hated Characters in Videogames
  • Top 10 Most Beautiful Video Game Music Tracks
Fun fact: all of these collaborations seem to be long enough to be separated into two parts.

Last but not least is the username NegativeSquad, stage named NegativeSquad. He's a cool dude who kicks butt ripping audio tracks from games. Although both Autarch of Flame and Fiery Joker have AVGM lists (Awesome Video Game Music) NegativeSquad takes my first place. This is his... profile pic??

As of today, I still can't figure this one out... freaking ANIME!!

It's got everything from the epic Master Hand Battle Themes to the disturbing Battle with Giygas to the saddened Zero Two Battle to the freaky Queen Larsa's Theme.

I'll take his word for it because it is thanks to him that I have discovered what is currently my most desired game EVER: No More Heroes (well, the Paradise expansion is also a wish, and let's not forget the sequel)

Ok, so if you like, you can consult these gamefreaks and watch their useful/useless countdown videos.
