Oh yeah, I've seen a bunch of his videos and am currently subbed to him - I usually steer more towards the PC related stuff, as I don't have more than a passing interest in all of the A/V stuff he likes to cover (though some of it is pretty damn interesting, I admit) I've disagreed with some of his points on more than one occasion, but despite the authoritative way talks in some of his videos, he's pretty modest about not knowing everything and letting his commenters correct him, so fair enough. Good, lesser known (well, 180k subs, heh) recommendation!

I think I first came across him via some videos of him doing thrifting in the Seattle. It's always interesting watching people thrift in your own area. Fun fact: He doesn't advertise his location much, but one of the best known retro YouTubers LGR (AKA Lazy Game Reviews) is actually in the general area where I moved here from (Asheville, NC) and I used to hit up some of the same Goodwills as him as he did in his old thrifting videos. Unfortunately, my luck was about as good as his was towards the end (which is why he no longer does him -  Thrifting kind of blows these days!)

Okay, I've *not* seen any of their stuff! Judging them on their looks alone (looking like a cartoon hacker) I have a feeling this phone phreaking video might make me cringe a bit, but looking at their video list makes me want to binge the entire account. Very nifty.

 pa> The Pacific Northwest has no shortage of YT r0ckstars. :P

Yeah, I sub to this one already, but I don't watch it much because this dude is way too fucking handsome, and I'm afraid if I have one of his videos up on a monitor and my girlfriend walks by it'll all be over.
