What are your favorite podcasts, video content creators, etc for gaming content?
I'm looking for some recommendations for things to listen to or casually watch to stay 'in the loop' on the standout games of the year, hear discussion of good games in general, feed my video game fan soul but not just about the newest latest thing.
I figured this group might know of good spots to look.
What are your favorites?

Jeff Gerstmann has a solo podcast now and it's really good for just general video came news/reviews and the latest in energy drink rankings. I've been a fan since the early Giant Bomb days and he still has the same energy he ever did.
If you don't recognize the name, he was the one that got fired from Gamespot back in the day for giving a game an average score when the publisher was advertising on the site. Loads of integrity.
Piggybacking off that, Nextlander is a great pod/crew as well. It's composed of 3 other folks that split off of Giantbomb. They have a good chemistry after 15+ years of working together and being in the industry. One word of caution, they're 40 something dudes, so it's a little more mellow than a lot of gaming personalities and prone to some pretty funny tangents that are not gaming related.
I gotta start listening to more Nextlander, but I don't have the time in my week for all the podcasts coming out. I wish they'd guest on each other's shows, I yearn for that Endurance Run Jeff and Vinny energy.
Vinny is clutch with everybody. I think he low-key is the best gaming journalist out there. Never steals the spotlight and "yes, and's" with the best of em. Nextlander is one of my weekly must listens. I am so happy they found their footing after the split.
Also, Alex just bought a house and I am so ready for the "Vinny coaches someone through the basics of homeownership moments" he's a goddamn treasure.
