So lately I've been watching Jeremy Parish's Video Works series on YouTube, where he covers a game (or several games) in a dry, yet informative way.
My go-to playlists lately is his "Complete Chronology" series, which compiles all his videos by order of game/system release. Since he'll jump around from period to period in his videos, it's amusing to see like, wildly different video styles and production from video to video. Yet, that same dry informative wit stays persistent.
I don't know if there's any term for watching things this way but it's amusing to me. You should give his stuff a watch if you haven't already.
