For me it's Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that's sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.

But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.

His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.

So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren't supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.

We didn't subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.

NMS is fine today, but before release Sony and the NMS authors put out this crazy unrealistically ambitious demo video none of which made it into the game, and then on release the game was like a couple of hours of highly repetitive gameplay without any multiplayer and then you beat the whole thing in a single sitting.

Mark was one of those day 1 streamers hyping the fraud up.

And that's not the first or last time he did this. He also promoted games like World War Z and Back 4 Blood as 1 off videos and never came back to them afterwards. Sometimes he is at least honest about being sponsored for the games but thats more the exception than the rule.
