https://www.youtube.com/user/Confreaks record high quality videos at many programming conferences each year and then share the recordings on YouTube. So much to enjoy here, especially if you're open source leaning, like most of the events they do.

O'Reilly puts up lots of good stuff at https://www.youtube.com/user/OreillyMedia although the webinar recording quality leaves a lot to be desired. A real random set of tech topics though and often something worth watching.

Entrepreneur - https://www.youtube.com/user/EntrepreneurOnline - usually puts up lots of short videos with a business tip in or something. Sometimes longer interviews. Usually worthwhile if a little superficial at times.

The guy who founded Something Awful has a ridiculously addictive channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/lowtaxico - he generally plays horrifically poorly produced indie games with his sidekick Shmorky and I could listen to their absurdist banter all day.

It's a bit of a mish mash but https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit always blows my mind when he does his coding videos such as coding a NES emulator in C++11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s

https://www.youtube.com/user/Shmee150 is awesome if you're into supercars. He's currently doing a tour of European supercar events and factories putting up a video each day.

Far Lands or Bust - https://www.youtube.com/user/kurtjmac - is a guy who started to walk towards the 'far lands' in a Minecraft maps years ago. He's something like 10% of the way but is still plodding along recording his progress. This is a real pilgrimage with all the highs and lows that entails.

MrThaiBox123 - https://www.youtube.com/user/MrThaibox123 - is a British IT expert who seems to have an endless supply of cash to buy gadgets, phones, and amazing computer setups.. and he does incredibly well recorded reviews of them. He also has a vlog at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrXrOof3iFRZYJGqqApH3Ng which I find interesting to see behind the scenes of someone's life on a daily basis.



Confreaks is great. The youtube page linked to is nicely organized, and looks to get more attention that my pointers, but three other resources are

* The Confreaks homepage at http://confreaks.com/

* The Confreaks listing by conference at http://confreaks.com/events

* The list of recently added videos at http://confreaks.com/videos

The last one is a bit hidden, as you get to it by clicking on Search on the main page


The Gaming Garbage Channel is great. I didn't realize the barrier for making 3d games was so low. What are they using to make these abominations?


I was laughing so hard at the Detective Adventure one

I don't think they're making all of these games, just playing a lot of terrible ones. It's hilarious either way, though


After watching some more they appear to be getting them all from yoyogames which is like the youtube or imgur of Game Maker games. There are some very good indie games published there but also a lot of crap.


The real answer is usually Game Maker or Unity.
