    So I'm looking for recommendations if anyone has any, for gaming YouTube channels please.

    I watch the dice tower, shut up and sit down, watch it played and there's a really enthusiastic Danish Lady who's name escapes me, but she's quite good ( I think it's just her sheer positivity).

    Any good uns I'm missing? Cheers.

    I should add, I'm sad enough to watch play through and set up videos of games I don't have, as well as interview, review and preview videos

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    There are quite a lot ,I am subscribed to 30+ boardgame channels including the ones you mention.
    ManvMeeple and Rahdo are top notch.

    Gaming rules,jongetsgames,tantrum house,no pun included ,ready steady play , grey elephant ,Chris Bryan games,boardgamegeek channel,board to death and discriminating gamer are also well worth a watch.
    Undead Viking and marcowargamer also cover a lot of games.Although recently undead Viking has changed to mainly chatting about games.
    Also although now finished starlight citadels are also well worth a look for some of the older games.

    By far the most entertaining ,as in LOL is “inside the box” they have some great reviews :D

    Think I may ring in sick for the next few shifts at work, sounds like there's weeks worth of viewing to look forward to.

    Edit: actually on further viewing I have seen a couple of the recommended channels before, but still a shed load I haven't seen.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I'm a fan of Before You Play; they've started doing some playthrough vids for Watch it Played but have a ton of other stuff on their own channel. Good camera layout (high quality top down view of the board and another facing them they switch between) and they both seem to know the game well so no massive spots of them sitting there thinking or wondering about particular rules.

    Yeah I'd second Before you Play. Great set up, just talking you through the game then just playing away. No gimmicks or playing to the camera like some channels do.
    Also have watched No Rolls Barred a little bit too, very enjoyable group. Pretty funny gang most of the time...maybe the games clips are little bit long for my liking though but fun none the less.

    Boardgameco is worth watching if you back kickstarters but also for game insights/reviews.
    He’s saved me a lot of money with his common sense approach to back or not to back.

    Most of my Regular youtubes are wargaming unboxings or Painting tips.

    Grayprimer has a great enthusiasm for the minis.

    And Camospecs online keep me entertained with their Battletech related content
