Do you guys have any recommendations for me to switch to? I already subscribed to Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed and JayzTwoCents.

Thanks in advance :)

    I’d also suggest adding Colin Furze and Hacksmith to the “wacky builds” creators. The Secret Santa things between them and a few other creator channels are a great way to find even more.

      Never watched Furze

      Hacksmith… I think their vibe is VERY different. But I was going back and forth about making a joke like “If you like watching a Canadian with a large staff make cool shit for him” but realize that, unless you have the context, that is really shit. Since that is a mix of James needing to take a mental health break and HI generally being REALLY good about spotlighting the team rather than just the Personality.

      But now I have an opportunity to explain the joke. Which is the best kind of joke.

      HI increasingly feels like “What if Jake Laser had a budget?” (and Jake seems to be working toward that considering recent videos). That focus on actually doing semi-deep dives on different aspects of the build rather than just “and its done”. It is just that Jake… probably got a few letters from the FBI considering some of his early videos are straight up “And here is how to make a concealable wrist mounted cannon. Uhm… don’t sharpen these crossbow bolts” so there is a lot more glossing over the builds. But when your build is a giant walking robot or a protosaber…
