The 8 Best Videos of EGX London (That we didn’t make)

Oh, look at that article title! It’s the perfect blend between information and click bait. Hell, I’d say that was taken straight off the pages of Cracked.com if I hadn’t typed it in the box myself.

Now, as the title suggests we’ve collected together eight of the best videos produced about EGX London. I’m sure you can imagine the pain endured while watching through the wormhole that is vlog-like content on YouTube…

…so there was hot debate amongst us at 100XP (by which I mean I changed my mind about the order a couple of times) so please enjoy…

Number 8: EGX – Taylor Swift Lip Sync Special

To start us off, why not something produced by the guys behind EGX London themselves? Sure! Is it good? Maybe! I suppose if you’re going to do a dumb montage, why not making a really dumb montage and make it a lip-sync video on top of that! Fantastic! I think? Hmm… NEXT!

Number 7: George Armstrong – My Experience

This is by no means a good video, so I guess the title was a complete lie. It does however capture a strange moment of social unity worth seeing at the video’s beginning. In it, the waiting crowd start chanting “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus” as one of the security guards walks past.

Why was Jesus working at a games convention? Why did everyone chant, instead of questioning why Jesus was working at a games convention? Why has nobody else been asking these important questions?! Why, god damn you, why?! NEXT!

Number 6: Many A True Nerd

Many a True Nerd is clearly a funny guy and his channel size probably attests to that, so this little run through of the idiosyncrasies of attending EGX such as the long queues for boring games is well received.

For such a big channel, however, it surprises me how bad the audio was. Seriously? You can probably do better, dude. NEXT!

Number 5: Petey – This is EGX London 2014

We may have taken the piss out of montage videos in the first 30 seconds of our own EGX London video, but if you’re going to do a video of show floor footage set to music you better hope it’s like this one from Petey – CharlieSOMETHING?

They take what could easily be another video in the crowd and use their ability to edit to make it an interesting short. NEXT!

Number 4: VideoGamerTV – Some Nice Things

Getting back on track, VideoGamerTV’s approach to EGX London was to hone directly into the Rezzed section and spend their time chatting with the Indie developers. It is what makes this video worth watching, especially if you want to see a video about games you don’t already know everything about.

Of course, it’s sort of predictable that VideoGamerTV would produce something good, which keeps it from being any higher on this list! NEXT!

Number 3: BohemianEagle

Compared to some of the other videos on this list, the one from BohemianEagle is a lot slower in pace. It also starts with an approach to the show from the perspective of someone who was attending as a Cosplayer and it’s an interesting angle to view the show.

Bohemian’s ability to talk about his experience should be interesting to anyone who hasn’t attended before and he has an endearing habit of laughing every now and then at his own experiences. Good stuff.

Another video, for those of you interested in the Cosplay side of EGX London, is this one. I can’t recommend it to anyone else though, there’s only so many times you can watch people reacting to a creepy mechanical arm.

Number 2: GameWank – Expo 2

What can I say about this video that it doesn’t say for itself? NEXT!

Number 1: Two Angry Gamers

Oh dear. This is a video which primarily features a man with a big beard doing amusing interviews with developers interlaced with comedy establishing shots. You may wish to watch this video and all of their others, because after we call the assassin out to deal with the competition they wont be releasing any more.

Points can be awarded for coming up with the term “Impromtivue” which is a true gem and could easily be the title for an entire series, but we’re mostly concerned with whether I am actually related to these guys.

For being like us, to an alarming degree, you can have the top spot. Congratulations… NEXT!

Oh, wait, that was it, wasn’t it?

Those were the best videos we could find, but if you have any others that we missed please share them in the comments section. It’s below this article… No, no that’s… Oh. Never mind.
