Man, what a week. Welcome back to Cream Basics and another installment of Essential Sundays, where I round up the top three YouTube videos you need to watch from the previous week. Unsurprisingly, this week is once again all about the Switch following its massive presentation on Thursday night. These are my top picks for getting all the information you need! Easy Allies Switch Presentation LivestreamWhile there were dozens of Switch presentation livestreams that went up Thursday night, the "group of friends" atmosphere is what sets the Easy Allies' stream apart from the rest. These guys are genuinely excited for the reveal, and they offer honest reactions and lighthearted humor throughout. I'd just recommend skipping through their pre-show to the actual presentation if you haven't watched it yet--they go over some rumors that end up being spoilers. 59:00 is the perfect starting point. IGN's In-Depth Hardware WalkthroughI thought I'd seen everything available about the console until IGN released their in-depth walk through. Here you learn about key features, stats, and a thorough look at the Switch that you won't find anywhere else. They struck gold with this video. GameXplain's Hands-On Impressions of the SwitchSimilarly to livestreams, there are a ton of hands-on videos circulating from some of the biggest YouTubers (heck, even Casey Neistat went back to YouTube to vlog his experience there). The crazy thing about this impressions video is that there isn't even any gameplay featured--the discussion around it is just that great. GameXplain are known for having classic gaming discussions, and this one is no different.
I hope you all enjoyed this expansive look at Nintendo Switch coverage, and come back later today for Part 2 of the presentation retrospective! --Brent

Happy Sunday everyone! Every Sunday we're going to look at some YouTube videos that I think really deserve more attention. Naturally, it's all about the Switch this past week as everyone is eagerly anticipating the huge January 12th reveal. So sit back, get comfy, and enjoy some of this week's most essential videos! Go Nintendo Responds to the IGN PlayStation Team's Remarks on the SwitchSo for some reason, early last week IGN decided it'd be a great idea to have their PlayStation team give their thoughts on the Nintendo Switch. It's certainly worth a listen, and Go Nintendo includes clips of it here as well as a thorough rebuttal. Spawn Wave Analyzes Rumored 30min Charge Times for the SwitchFollowing analysis by several YouTubers of the Switch reveal trailer, it was discovered that there's what looks like a USB-C port on the bottom of the system. New and prominent channel in the Switch news cycle Spawn Wave takes a closer look at what this could realistically mean for the system's charge time. SwitchForce Shares Personal System Launch StoriesOur last entry of the day is a series of heartfelt reflections by the SwitchForce crew. There's nothing quite like recalling memorable system launches as a gamer, and with the Switch launch quickly approaching, the trio each tells an entertaining tale of full of nostalgia.
Happy YouTubing, and I'll see you all again on Wednesday! --Brent Hey guys! So something that anyone remotely close to me knows is that I love YouTube. Specifically, I love gaming (and hip hop) channels. From JonTron to SmoshGames to GameExplain, there's a ton of variety within the gaming community on YouTube. However, while I love a bunch of them (including the ones above), there are some smaller channels that I can't get enough of recently. So, here's a top 3 countdown of my current favorite gaming channels. NUMBER 3: SullyPwnz The one attribute that's vital for a gamer on YouTube is an entertaining personality. Otherwise, you could just watch regular gameplay videos without commentary. That's one thing that Sully has going for him. His commentary and silly nature is hilarious, and when paired with games like Tomodachi Life, his low-brow style of comedy shines through. This is hands-down the funniest Let's Play series I've ever watched, and his newer content (especially his Mario Party 10 sessions with his boys) is also watch-worthy. NUMBER 2: BlahblahLPs I'd never watched a stream on Twitch before Blah. I originally found him while looking for Splatoon gameplay of the Global Testfire, and after a few videos I really began to appreciate the lighthearted, colorful commentary he brings to the table. There aren't many YouTubers I've come across that're more genuine than Blah/Johnathan, and I don't know if it's because we're similar in age, but I can definitely relate to him really well. He's not as laugh-out-loud funny as Sully, but he's more personable and interactive with his viewers. NUMBER 1: Haedox Who saw this coming? The least-known YouTuber on the list is actually my favorite of all! Though I only started watching his videos a couple weeks ago, I've been marathoning them like crazy. Haedox is a young channel (it just launched last fall), but his reviewing style feels markedly unique and objective. You can tell that he's just a gamer who decided to make some videos, and that authentic feel resonates strongly with his fanbase (even if it's only a little over 5,000 subscribers). The fact that his channel is so small and yet consistently quality inspires me to keep making content because I love it, not because I should expect massive numbers or fame and riches. When I'm on a Haedox video it feels like I'm in good, friendly company, and that's what I aspire to make people feel with this blog. Give a few of his videos a watch! Pls. Thanks for reading guys! For more recommendations, first impressions, opinion pieces, and anything else, check back every single weekday. Have a beautiful day!
