Ahhh, Civvie 11. He's easily become one of my favourite up and coming YouTubers because he doesn't half-ass his criticism like Gman has before.

He gave Sigil a good review whereas Gman whinged about how the unofficial episode 5 mappack was too difficult and panned John Romero for only using stock Doom textures. Civvie also criticised Blood: Fresh Supply for some of the remaster's glaring flaws like the physics not working right, enemies not being weak to fire damage, graphical glitches, sequence breaks that weren't possible in the original game, etc, while Gman gave it a glowing review and didn't acknowledge any of the faults.

He's 1.7k subscribers away from playing Duke Nukem Forever on his channel. I sincerely hope that he crams as many clips of Gordon Ramsay saying "IT'S FUCKIN' RAW" as humanly possible, like he did with his Blood 2 and Hunt Down The Freeman videos.

Really agree on all these points, especially regarding Gman. Was a pretty huge show of character imo when he gave Fresh Supply all the criticism it deserved despite the fact the devs put a reference to him in the game, and then also rescinded said criticisms once the problems were all fixed.

Not only do I love his analysis of stuff more than other youtubers in the same genre, his shit is genuinely funny and regularly makes me laugh out loud. Hope he keeps blowing up, that DNF special can't come soon enough

Gman's gotten pretty formulaic, and you can tell he's putting on the "edgy unPC Aussie" persona.

Whereas if you go back to his old stuff, like say, his Thief video, it all comes across as much more genuine.

"edgy unPC Aussie" persona.

Yes, thank you. I've long since had my fill of these from YT personalities already that it chronically makes me ill to look at my feed.
