YouTuber Review covers LPers playing their favorite games
LP, or the ‘Let’s Play’ genre has made a full-scale assault on YouTube. Forget Beiber, forget Gaga, forget Grumpy Cat. It’s video gamers recording themselves playing video games that rate the most subscribers and the most views in the billion dollar landscape of digital video. Sitting atop the LP pinnacle, is a slightly affected Sweedish savant, Felix, Kjellberg, otherwise known as PewDiePie. With over 38 million subscribers, he reigns supreme.
A world in which Beyonce demands wall to wall news coverage and Pews gets none, is a skewed world. Enter YouTuber Review.
YouTuber Review is the first blog to offer it’s own take on the LPers take on their favorite games. Meta? Yes, thank you. But unlike Rooster Teeth or Kotaku, which offer breaking news in the industry and occasionally record their own LPs, YR is the only site that caters purely to the meta. Watching the watchers play their games? Now that’s what I call escapism.
