Turbo Highlights (#3): Storpey
Hello and welcome back to Turbo Highlights! This time, I am sharing another Youtube channel, one that I feel is also very under appreciated. This channel is called Storpey.
Storpey is a gaming channel ran by Steve Torpey. He is known mostly for playing horror games and getting scared quite easily. Now hold on, don't turn away yet. This sounds familiar right? PewDiePie? Markiplier? He is no different from them right? WRONG!! I will explain why.
Other Youtuber's like those above, I feel are very dis-genuine, relying on fake scares, fake rage, over the top nonsense and annoying sounds in order to be 'entertaining', when mostly they come off as childish in a really bad way. I was once a fan of Mark, but over time he has lost all of his charm has become quite irritating, much like PewDiePie, whom I have never enjoyed. Doing things to entertain in the video is fine, except when those things feel forced and are annoying.
Steve is different to me. When I watch his videos, it almost feels like hanging out with a friend. He is down to earth, realistic, funny, and above all else just a joy to watch or listen to. He lets himself be absorbed into a game, which he does get scared quite easily but the fear he feels is genuine. He is just scared really easily. He does not just get scared though. He also allows himself to appreciate a game and it's wonder if the game is good. He enjoys what he does.
As you can see, he gets scared easily, but he isn't fake
Another important aspect about him that I love, he plays FAR more than just horror games. He has played Minecraft, Hearthstone, he is currently playing Skyrim, and others. All of these are just a joy to watch, as he truly enjoys these games himself. He loves Minecraft and he doesn't go over the top or crazy just to get more subscribers. He just enjoys the game and even interacts with his viewers. Even videos about simulator games that he has played are pleasant because of his relaxing tone of voice and overall pleasant personality. I find myself listening to his videos all the time while doing other things.
His Minecraft series is incredibly relaxing and a pleasure to watch or listen to
Currently, Steve is not as active as he has been before due to problems relating to RSI-like symptoms but what he does upload is always a treat. I highly recommend checking out his channel for yourself. You may enjoy his videos just like me. He may not be some (in my opinion) fake like PewDiePie or Markiplier, but that isn't a bad thing is it? Steve also has a lovely singing voice. :3

Thanks for reading the third Turbo Highlight. I hope you enjoyed it. By the way, while I do heavily dislike Markiplier now and PewDiePie, if you enjoy their content, I have no problem with that. Enjoy what you enjoy, regardless of my opinions on them.
Until next time,
Turbo out!
