I'd recommend emptying your bladder before starting "How to be Power Metal" though. His "How to play like..." series which stabs at famous musicians who fail at guitar are genius.
Thread necromancy, but oh well, I watched a One Piece YouTuber who reminded me of this and well...I love this channel, one of my favourite Abridged series so far. If it could be said to be one as it's...Insane, so insane I wonder how many different drugs PurpleEyesWTF is on when he writes and voices each episode and that he's also seen Cthulhu and he's been driven irreversibly insane by it, but in the best. Possible. Way. lol.
One of my favourite jokes.
"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?
Cafe de Anatolia is my current fave for chillout / while-working music.
Astrum does videos on space, astronomy and planets with really great presentation and infectious enthusiasm.
Wrestling With Wregret is another wrestling channel I've gotten into--great presentation, and a brilliantly dry sense of humour.

"The 75mm gun is firing. The 37mm gun is firing, but is traversed round the wrong way. The Browning is jammed. I am saying "Driver, advance." and the driver, who can't hear me, is reversing. And as I look over the top of the turret and see twelve enemy tanks fifty yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich."

I'll second Wrestling with Wregret. Brian is a great host and his videos are always entertaining. For other wrestling content on youtube I'll also throw out partsFUNknown, especially their Quizzlemania videos.

Ryan Long. He's a genius in his satire and humour of the insane state of politics today. Just too funny lol

Mild threadomancy, but only to prevent a duplicate.
Recently got into my woodwork videos on YouTube, mostly upcyclying stuff into other, nicer stuff.
This one is quite something!
Nothing I’d ever be able to do (lack of work space, danger to myself etc), but if I ever win the Lottery, I’d definitely be founding a community space for peeps to use. Just hire a couple of qualified carpenters/electricians etc, and let people hire it out. Definitely offer parent & child / Dads and Lads session over a weekend. Let people get creative without having to shell out loads for power tools. Reckon it could prove popular!

Other than channels related to the hobby I only watch a few channels about cooking (all in my native language though) and a lot of american and british auditors. Here are my three favorites:
Play on Table Top. Genuinely love these guys, always fun and happy and just seem the greatest of friends. A lot of sportsmanship and always a blast to watch their videos. I empathise so much with Space Marine Steve, he just has the worst of luck with his rolls so much.

Civvie11 - for dryly humourous video game essays on retro games (mostly FPSes) ranging from classics to funny-bad trash like this:
We Hate Movies - not YouTube exclusive but they have full podcast episodes on there, not really reviews, more using films as a jumping-off point for comedy.
Mandalore Gaming - Another video game review channel, he's got that mellow kind of delivery that's nice to chill to, lots of Warhammer content, and occasionally long videos on funny and weird point-and-click adventure games like this classic:
By the Emperor! It's been ages since this was last posted in! Jeez! Anyway, I'm liking this guy's channel more and more. I'm a simple man, mixing 40k with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will always appeal to me lol

One of the most epic BatReps I've ever watched, had me at the edge of my seat just found this and most certainly subbed lol

I really like Perun. He gives military lectures on modern issues with a focus on the War in Ukraine. Each one is roughly an hour and it's both informative and entertaining.
Apologies if this is against forum rules. I don't think it's politics?
There are only two people better than me and I'm both of them.
Lately I've been enjoying two related channels, Fascinating Horror and Dark History, for their short documentaries of various disasters that have happened over the years. I discovered Fascinating Horror with their video about the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, and after watching a bunch of other videos of theirs Youtube recommended some of Dark History's videos, some of which covered the same things as FH's. It's really interesting how many safety regulations and things came about because of some terrible tragedy that could have been avoided had such things existed already.
My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.
Grotsnik Corp. Sorry, No Refunds.
Discovered this channel last night, and I’m hooked. Particularly the Borrowed Blockbuster series.
Good source of film for my watch list. Plus, I can’t shake the feeling I may have met the chap behind it. Or someone who looks identical. But I can’t think who!

Currently on my subscribed list in no particular order...
Perun - because I really want to work at home
Task and Purpose - Gods I should get a life away from work
The Tank Museum - well the above, but tanks are cool (and the guys speaking are mostly civil servants, their head is a grade 7)
Forgotten Weapons - not interesting is serial numbers or seeing someone fire a gun, but the politics, demands and decisions around production are fascinating and I realise somewhat work related
InRange - well not so much now as the content has dropped off and become more firearms mechanics centric
The Chieftan - There is a theme here
Matt Green Comedy - yay, fun. Though technically work satire I guess. Not as good as the two Johns of course
Lindybeige - Fun history and other stuff
Wisecrack - sometimes good
Saisha Hayes - I am contractually obliged to promote her
Veritasium - also fun info stuff
I don't watch much YouTube as the whole environment of that site puts me off (too much Elsagate, clickbait crap out there), but a friend recommended Night Shift to me. Some absolutely fantastic modelling techniques there, his stuff is what I'd call a work of art.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.
Watch restoration a fascinating hobby that has a lot of similarities with mini painting, with the fine motor control and delight when you finally finish a project
