The Wisdom of Seananners: Part 2
I love this guy, he has so many youtube followers and he uses his fame to teach teenage gamers that they don't need to act like assholes all the time. I think that there is an unfortunate negative stereotype which is attached to gamers, as reclusive sociopaths, stuck in basements and bedsits - roleplaying and "pwning n00bs" for a living. Its a stereotype which is supported by both gamers and non-gamers alike. In a way a lot of us just accept the stigma that is attached and either live with it or hide our gaming like some kind of secret shame. Gaming is our crossdressing, and we'll hide it away until one day we are caught by the "norms" trussed up in our stockings and suspenders, pouting in front of the mirror.
Seananners is using his place as a well known gamer to spread a really wholesome and uplifting message. The main reason he has so many subscribers on YouTube (currently 655,007!) is not because he is an awesome CoD player, its because he is so down to earth.

Top 5 Black Ops Commentators
Usually, when I get in after a hard days work, I like to sit down on my arse and blow peoples heads off with high powered assault rifles. Its therapeutic, I suggest you try it. NO not in real life you 'nana, in Black Ops. Foo'!
When I'm not doing the blowing myself (steady...) I like to watch other people doing the blowing (now really, steady on - stop laughing). What I'm trying to say is that I like to watch Black Ops commentary videos. One of the reasons I spend so much time on YouTube browsing around for Black Ops gameplay is because I'm looking for tips on how to improve my game - I can't tell you how much I've learned by watching superior players play through their games. Although I do it partially for tips; I guess the main reason is because its very satisfying to watch the game played like a pro. I'd never be able to get a 67-1 gameplay in real life, so its nice to see that some people can still absolutely go batshit bonkers with Black Ops.
So, what I thought I'd do is share my Top 5 Black Ops Commentators for your approval and hopefully I can share some real gems with ya'll (there's a lot of embedded videos so follow after the jump for the top 3!)
Ok, slipping in at number 5 is:
If you're new to Black Ops game commentaries, Scotty's videos probably aren't where you want to be starting off. Lets just say things get a little bit... odd. Scotty is usually accompanied (assuming Scotty is the player and not the chimp), by another dude with an overactive noise-gland. What is created is this almost schizophrenic dialogue between the player and the observer - every kill is accompanied by (and this is censored for ya'll sensitive folks out there) "WOOOO YEAH F**K HIM, MAN!" whilst the player laughs in the background. Some people find it a bit too much, but I think its hilarious.
Marine Sweat is a commentator I came across about a month ago on the codops247 channel. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and has a good relationship with his viewers and subscribers. In addition to his personality, I think the main thing which brings people to his videos is the information he has on his life in the Marine corps. More often than not his commentaries include a story from his days at boot camp, or a discussion about what it takes to be a Marine.
He is enthusiastic and confident in his abilities as both a player and as a real life amphibious land/sea, no sleep, eat otter poo to live, sleep for fortnights in the swamp, killing machine. I enjoy every one of his videos; but find below the latest one I saw - he includes the footage of the latest map pack, a shiny golden AK and more stories from Boot Camp:
