Gameplay videos focus on, well, the gameplay, and tend to show large and faithful portions of a given game.

So for this post, let’s go over some of the many different types of gaming videos on YouTube!įirst off, you have your average gameplay video. That’s a lot, and in that respect it definitely seems worthwhile to devote a little more time to how these videos appear on the medium. I’ve since done some more research into the matter, and as it turns out, the “genre” of the video game video is the 4th most popular kind of YouTube videos, and approximately 15% of all YouTube videos are estimated to be gaming related. In a previous post, I talked about how video games “work” in the modern age of YouTube, where video games are increasingly becoming a large subculture that can be interesting and important for creators of online media content. I’m excited for the future and I hope you are too! Which is why I’m officially adding “video games” to the Screenanigans tagline! From now on, Screenanigans will frequently feature video games related content, as a third ‘subject’, apart from film and television. Frequent readers will have noticed, however, that I’ve recently begun to talk about video games as well, since I think there’s much to talk about and because I’ve heard fans say they’d like to see more video games related content. Hey everyone! As you know, Screenanigans is a place to talk about film and television.
