Anyone else watch this? While on the surface it may look like another clickbait channel, he actually has a lot of interesting facts about video games. Here's his newest video : 5 games recalled, then destroyed:

I really like the guy.

His Running Gag of calling out Peter Molyneux at the beginning of each video always makes me chuckle.

He does have interesting stuff, but he feels kinda too mean spirited to me rather often. Also it feels like sometimes that he likes easy targets like Molyneux tongue

I'm a fan. I like how he digs up obscure trivia. [tup]

[up]He always comes off as cool when interacting with people. And I admit the Fact Hunt videos are fascinating things.

I think you guys are hoping too much for reply there tongue I mean I can practically hear you guys being like "Riiiiiiiiight? Waiting for that comment"

Anyhoo, every time he posts new video, I'm just feeling kind of reinforced about Fact Hunt videos being just another form of click baiting and mean spirited scandal digging. And heck, sometimes obscure trivia he fits up doesn't really even fit the videos' topic that well, as in there has to be tons more appropriate facts to be in top five than what he personally dislikes.

The video about Miyamoto being an asshole had all sorts of lies, reachings, and nonsense in it. So much for facts. I remember a Neogaf thread ripping it wide open.

Yep, lot of the "facts" are mean spirited hear say or rumors tongue

He does got some pretty good videos and I actually get a kick out of his potshots at Peter Molyneux. It's pretty interesting hearing the backstories as to how and why certain events in the gaming industry and invidiual video games happened the way they did.

Considering Larry's been getting some renewed fame lately, let's see what's he's been up to lately:

My gripe about that resurrection video was he used the wrong Krystal image and gave me hope that he'd talk about Star Fox Assault's canned arcade game.

Anyway love this guy's videos but I did confuse him about Slopes lol

I ended up knowing of him last year.

I didn't even know that he was part of Channel Awesome until I learned that he was one of the few people who stayed purely to troll them.
