Hey guys. I've wanted to put something together like this for a while. And thanks to Sunflower's podcast thread, I finally got motivated - I've never found a thread that keeps track of gaffers that create gaming videos, so the purpose of this thread is to catalogue and discuss video channels, streams, and shows that are produced by gaffers. The info listed comes straight from the shows’ creators – hopefully you’ll find some cool stuff you’ve never seen before.
Feel free to post your new videos in this thread. One catch: if you do share a video of your own in this thread, post about 1 other gaffer video in the same post. I think it'd be cool to encourage and give each other feedback on shows, instead of the thread turning into a wall of self-promoting posts.

Each week, I'll try and do a recap of the newest/best videos that've gone live from fellow gaffers. Channels are listed in alphabetical order.
If you have your own channel/stream/series, PM it to me! I’d love for this list to include everyone that makes cool content. Just be sure to send me:
- Banner image for channel (600x200 pixels)
- Name of your show
- Show category (livestreams, narrative, reviews, etc)
- Elevator pitch/summary (2-3 sentences describing your channel)
- Link to your YT/Twitch/etc
- FB/Twitter links
- 3 recommended videos

Summary:
Basically I play DayZ, ARMA 3 and then whatever games catch my fancy - things like Just Cause 2 MP, Hawken etc. I try to have fun and don't focus on comedy but try to make it so the videos are light hearted and not too serious. I also interact A LOT with my fans.

Show/Channel Name: Neat Experiences
Gaffer: Orayn
Category: Livestream, Bloopers/Comedy, Community Events
Summary:
I bring you experiences which, in theory, are amusing and enlightening. Live! To be honest, I don't think they're all that neat, but people continue to watch and I continue to be mystified by them showing interest. Most of what happens on my channel is just bits and pieces of multiplayer games and stuff from my backlog, and an experimental segment I call "Divided Attention" where a virtual living room is used to simultaneously stream a video game and user-requested YouTube videos managed by a "DJ." This Summer I am planning to take it to the next level and livestream the entirety of 2-person, 2-screen, fully narrated and banter-powered playthrough of the Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta with my friend.
My Twitch channel is also used for the streaming portion of the community events that are later made into "Fate Of" videos by the semi-successful YouTuber Bro Team Pill.
