My favorite Youtube channels

Aqualung Game Reviews-Aqualung Game Reviews is an independent video game reviewer who focuses only on the the classic games. I'm not talking about N64 classics-I'm talking Atari 2600 and NES classics. He's also incredibly funny and insightful. He doesn't just review the games, he walks though them. For some games that's an incredible challenge. The Mega Man series is known for many things but one thing it's known for more than anything is it's difficulty. I should know. I've been playing these games for almost thirty years and I am still terrible at them. In Mega Man 3 I can't get by those famous disappearing blocks in the Magnet Man stage. Aqualung has mastered classical gaming. His channel is such a treat. 

Musical Hell-Do you like musicals? You aren't alone. They might be the red headed stepchild of the music world because of how over the top and cheesy they can be, but Musical Hell knows this and thrives on it. She reviews only the worst musicals to see if they live up to their terrible reputations. Dave Barry said there is nothing better than watching  good critic tee off on a bad movie/restaurant. If he could listen to the Musical Hell channel (and he should) he would have a ball. Her critique of "At Long Last Love" and "Mame" are two of the best ones she has done, but she doesn't have any bad videos really. 


Fair Mormon-If you want to understand Mormonism from it's intellectual side, this is the station for you. These guys will talk about any subject under the sun. They'll interview scholars, LDS bishops, former bishops, missionaries who returned early than went back on the mission, writers, amateur historians-basically anyone who has something interesting to say about Mormonism. I admire the men and women who run this page because they won't mince words or duck from the dark sides of LDS history. The controversies, the good the bad and the ugly-these guys do it all.
