What I Read and Watch Regularly (about video games) UPDATED

Lessee...  I could talk about what I've been reading and watching lately.  I mentioned one of the playthrough guys I watched, and still watch, regularly, but I don't talk much about where I get my information on games in general, so I thought I might compare notes with everyone.
 
In addition to the previews Giant Bomb makes of the less well-known games (I've fallen behind on the retro arcade stuff, but I still feel like I'm cheating myself if I don't go back and watch it all some day), I've spent some time at other sites to get a good range of news about games.  Many of you probably know everything about most or all of these people, so if you happen to have more suggestions for video game news, reviews, or history to see, please comment. 
 
One of my favorite sites lately has been Rock Paper Shotgun, a UK based game site that pretty much focuses on PC gaming, but often talks about the stuff that actually makes PC gaming fun for me: the older or weirder games that don't get decent coverage.  They tend to write well-thought out and informative articles, or at least entertaining ones.  I used to just check there occasionally, but I feel that I find something interesting every few days or so, so I've added it to my quick links list.  
 
The A. V. Club has a cool feature, in addition to modern game reviews, called Sawbuck Gamer, which profiles cheap or free games their intrepid explorers have found.  I've found many cool independent projects through this feature, and I'll be happy as long as it keeps going, even though I imagine it's not as much of a draw to the site as other features may be.
 
Via The Spoony One:
 
Larry Bundy, Jr. I discovered just today, through Noah Antwiler's site (below).  He specializes in games those in the States may not have experienced-- it's always interesting to see what home programming can produce in countries that couldn't readily trade software. For me it's all about novelty, so this is a cool resource.  Well...
 
Noah Antwiler actually talks about some stuff I've often already heard of, but never had the chance to try out.  His collection of videos and articles is eclectic, including movies and even pen-and-paper RPGs (which is how I found his videos in the first place). Some of the better profiles he's done has been of the Ultima RPG series and the spate of full-motion video games from the 90's (many lessons to be learned there, sadly).  His criticism sometimes moves toward the kind of bashing which often comes off as nitpicking.  Hopefully he'll move on from that, since he has a really good eye for interesting games to talk about.  What I think is cool is that he actually hosts shows from other people's series on his Spoony One website, which to me is rather classy, given how many web personalities tend to focus on themselves.  I do feel a bit in the dark as to who these people even are, though, but once in a while they'll be interesting enough that I'll start watching their stuff too.
 
Via The Escapist:
 
Ben Croshaw may be familiar to folks here through his video series (and companion article series) on The Escapist.  He tends to be harder on games than other reviewers I've seen, but I guess I prefer that.  I can usually see through a reviewer's own prejudices if I'm familiar enough with them to the point where I can see if I might like the thing being reviewed, even if he or she trashes it.  He's often entertaining, but he tends to take the low road in his humor, which is at times funny but can get a bit grating after a while.  What I really like is that he's not afraid to say that game creators should aspire to something better more often than they're doing.  I tend to enjoy his articles more than his videos now, probably because he gets the time to put his opinion down a bit more thoroughly there.
 
Shamus Young tries a bunch of different things, including commentated runthroughs and logging experiences (as well as trying all kinds of crazy things on the side). Guy has tried a lot of different stuff and I'm always interested in what he has to say.  A good opinion writer whose views I respect beyond many other reviewers, even when I don't agree.
 
Cinemassacre:
   
James Rolfe is possibly the most well-known of the reviewers I list here, but I have no way of being sure.  His Angry Nintendo Nerd turned Video Game Nerd show has shown me the dark side of game design, and I think his style has thankfully refined a bit since it began.  I don't need the skits or the scat (although I enjoyed the Ninja Gaiden one a lot), I like to learn why a game is rough on the player, and what sorts of lessons can come from that, and he does all right.  Sometimes I wish he would read the instructions before playing, but many of the modern game reviewers tend to make the same oversight in order to make their videos entertaining.   I guess I prefer it when they're informative and entertaining at the same time, though, and not reading the instructions, as tedious as that sounds, causes some unnecessary frustrations. He has an interesting take on the latest Castlevania game, mainly because he tends NOT to play modern games much, which is something I can relate to :) 
 
G4 TV:
 
Adam Sessler's one of the bigger names in gaming journalism (or whatever you prefer to call it), and he often has some great discussion starters in his Soapbox feature. Sometimes I've disagreed, but I think the fact that he and I are about the same age means we have a similar perspective on where gaming has gone and is going.  Some of his stuff comes straight from him being a prominent member of a very well-known site. 
 
Destructoid:
 
I haven't actually gone there much since Anthony Burch left, but still read articles when I'm referred there.  Some of Birch's Rev Rants were probably the closest I ever got to seeing opinions similar to mine voiced by more famous people, though I don't think anyone on the web matches up too well with me (I'm glad for that, but anyway). His Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' videos were ( and are) often entertaining too.  Since the guy's apparently a writer in the game industry now, I hope he gets to actually help enact some of the improvements he's talked about over the years.  
 
Classic Game Room:
 
This is an addendum to the original article. I meant to include this guy, but forgot for whatever reason.  I probably watch his reviews more than anyone else's.  He and his staff at Undertow have a good mix of old and new.
 
There are probably sites I should pay more attention to (or shun altogether).  If you have any ideas for cool sites that might appeal to me or other folks, go ahead and post 'em!
