Cheirinn Recommends: Gaming Content Creators

Cheirinn // November 16th, 2020

As much as we like to play games, sometimes we just want to sit back, relax, and watch someone else play. Fortunately, there are many opportunities for us to do this, via Twitch, YouTube, or even watching a friend play. I absolutely love watching let’s plays and hearing the jokes and insults fly between the party members. As you can probably tell from my last article, I like to see friendship in games. Friendships that allow us to be weird and funny with each other, and in which games can help us expand that friendship to new grounds.  Here I will talk about a few gamers that I greatly enjoy, and I hope that you can too if you don’t already.  These guys have made me laugh harder than anyone.  The kind of laugh where no sound is coming out and you can barely breathe.  If you’re ever feeling down and out, just watching these gamers for only a short while will have your gut busting and your mood rising.  And so, I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude to the following YouTubers for being so awesome and bringing so much joy to my life.

Smii7y

Smii7y, pronounced Smitty, is one of my all-time favorites to watch.  He has the right amount of comedy and gameplaying skill to keep you entertained for hours.  I first saw Smii7y’s videos when I came across his ‘funtages.’  If you are not sure what a funtage is, it is simply a montage of all the funny or interesting moments that he has recorded.  The funtages range from Counter Strike to Rainbow Six and everything else in between.  His comedic timing alongside his style of editing is pure genius. You can clearly tell that he enjoys making content and that his desire isn’t to be the best gamer or to get the highest scores and accolades, but rather making sure that we, the audience, are having a good time and are thrilled to see what comes next. He takes pride in his work and that is something that should be commended in any profession.

Though he does have a good assortment of funtages to watch, he does not limit himself to only one style of video.  He posts a wide array of different games, but mostly videos of shooter or mini-golf games.  He will sometimes give himself challenges that he must complete on his own or with a group of his friends. Most of the time, these challenges are spoofs of real challenges that other, more serious gaming content creators do, or just a challenge that he thinks would be funny and entertaining to watch. His pseudo-serious tone to these challenges is what makes them a blast. Whether he fails or succeeds, it doesn’t matter, as every second is worth watching.

Smii7y focuses his comedy on visual gags and word plays, while also utilizing bits and bounce-offs from his friends. He has chosen a Canadian Milk Bag for his avatar. Yes, a milk bag. But a cute milk bag. He is a genuine comedian and performer and a fantastic gamer to watch.  You could spend hours on his videos, and it wouldn’t be a waste. So, please do the both of us a huge favor and go check him out. You can easily find him on YouTube or Twitch here.

Daithi De Nogla

Daithi, pronounced Daw-hee, is an Irish youtuber and a member of the Vanoss gaming crew.  He is a genuinely nice guy even though he’s also a bit of an idiot. His comedy is mainly from his outbursts and yelling, though he does make a good quip here or there. Daithi is usually the butt of the joke when it comes to his crew, but he is always ready to throw it back at them.  Now, I am not sure if it is Daithi that I find funny and enjoyable or if it is his editor… maybe the combination of the two. But either way, his videos always leave me wanting more.

Daithi plays a variety of games and gets super into each and every one of them.  His high energy is great to keep you hooked and his interactions with other gamers and members of his chat are always a delight to see. Daithi works hard to make sure that the content he provides is enjoyable and high in quality.  He cares if the audience enjoys his videos and is always willing to provide context to his content. As I said, I feel that he is a very genuine dude and would make an awesome friend.  If you are interested in checking him out, you can find him on YouTube right here.

Terroriser

Terroriser, also known as Brian, is also another member of the Vanoss gaming crew. And just like Daithi, he too hails from Ireland. These two boyos are extremely nice guys, and it makes me think that everyone from ol’ Eirinn is a super sweet person. Terroriser is well known in the crew for doing the terminator voice and is sometimes requested to do it for certain occasions. He got his name for his early on goings of terrorizing public games of Call of Duty.  In fact, it is a blast watching him play COD against his crew as he goes around doing mainly nothing but knifing them. The humiliations that he dishes out are enjoyable alone, but when grouped with the outcries of his victims, they become absolutely brilliant.

Brian likes to interact with his audience on stream and is constantly looking at the camera with golden comedic timing. Just like Nogla, Brian is another high-energy individual, though probably more-so.  His quips are funny and will often make you laugh out loud as you watch him go. He may come across as angry sometimes but being loud in the heat of the moment is just his style of comedy.

Brian works hard to make good videos, and he also works hard on making sure that his audience is heard and given his time. He works well both alone and with others, as his videos tend to center around the times that he terrorizes his crew. Hence his name. No matter what video you watch of his, you will have a grand old time of it.

Though there are other YouTubers out there that I enjoy, and others I have left behind completely, these three always manage to make my day a little brighter and my mood a little more jovial.  I’m certain that if you watch these guys, then you too will share the same sentiment as me.  Until then, stay awesome have a great day.
