YouTube Channels, And Books Worth Checking Out

When I am not gaming or knitting, I will watch videos on YouTube that interest me or read books. These are some of my personal favorites that are worth checking out.

First up is Two Guys One Beard. These are three guys having fun while playing video games such as Overwatch and Left 4 Dead. The videos are entertaining, funny, and every now and then there are some hilarious puns. You can check out their channel on YouTube and subscribe. You can watch their latest video featuring Mega Man X here:



Two Guys One Beard also has a Facebook page which you can like and follow here: https://www.facebook.com/Two-Guys-One-Beard-532799147083324/

I'm sure almost everyone knows who Ivy Doomkitty is. For those who don't, Ivy is a prolific cosplayer and gamer. She is a person who really cares about her fans and is all about making an open armed community that welcomes everyone. She also volunteers for some great animal rescue charities like Kitt Crusaders.

Her videos on YouTube are fun and friendly updates on cosplay she's working on or Lootcrate unboxing reveals. You can check out her YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ivydoomkittyofficial/featured

You can also follow Ivy Doomkitty on Facebook, Twitch, Twitter, and Instagram. You can also sponsor her on Patreon for pretty awesome rewards such as constant updates and for higher tier levels photos and merchandise.

That Japanese Man Yuta is another great channel I follow. Yuta's videos are not only interesting, they are informative about life in Japan, the culture, and language. There are a lot of interesting interview videos he does with people in public about a variety of topics ranging from music to dating. You can also sign up for free or premium Japanese lessons with Yuta. I signed up for these and they are great. You can select your difficulty level and you get an email with a video lesson. The lessons are easy to follow and they are great for helping to learn real Japanese. You can follow Yuta on his Facebook page and support him on Patreon. You can check out his YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/YPlusShow/featured

AWE me is one of my absolute favorites on YouTube because they create all the amazing weapons from video games, animes, and movies. They will often ask their fans what they should make next and usually the one that gets the most requests is their next project. I always enjoy watching their videos because they explain the process of the build and then there's a pretty awesome montage of showing off the finished item and slicing watermelons. It's really bad ass and fantastic. They have a Facebook page you can follow and Twitter also. You can check out all their videos on their YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AweMeChannel/featured

Now, let's move on to books. Books are a wonderful thing and I have always loved curling up with a good book and reading for hours at a time. The first book is one of my personal favorites because it has such beautiful and interesting short stories. I love short stories especially stories that capture my imagination and make me see the world in a different way. Tales From The Highway by Jim Milligan is an incredible collection of short stories and I have read this book a few times already because it is that good. You can buy this book for the Kindle on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Highway-Collection-Fantasy-Stories-ebook/dp/B076V43HXJ

Haw by Sean Jackson is another favorite book of mine. It is a fantastic powerful and emotional story set in a dystopian future. It very much feels like a modern day Brave New World yet it is also its own beautiful story about the power of love, the human spirit, and what it means to stand up and fight for oneself and others. Haw is another book I have read quite a few times and every time it feels like a wonderful old friend with deep meaning. You can purchase the Kindle version or the paperback version here: https://www.amazon.com/Haw-Sean-Jackson-ebook/dp/B00YOSCQ7E/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1516755175&sr=1-2&keywords=haw#customerReviews

These are YouTube channels and books that are worth checking out because they are entertaining and great. I hope you will take a look and if they interest you I hope you will watch and subscribe or buy one or both of the books. See you at the next adventure, everyone!
