I can't think of a better name to refer to short, well-edited, videos exploring some aspect of gaming design. I'll show instead of tell and maybe you guys have some more recommendations. I adore watching this stuff.

RagnarRox
Sample Video: Dark Souls: Zelda for Grown Ups?!
This guy is probably my favorite. Extremely well-edited.

Sequelitis
Sample Video: Mega Man Classic vs. Mega Man X
One of the earliest examples of the genre. Super funny.

Game Maker's Toolkit
Sample Video: Theme and Mechanics in Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 4
This one is more specifically tailored towards game designers and still interesting to all.

Ahoy
Sample Video: Open World Origins
This is more of a straight historical documentation of gaming trends than a deep dive into design. Stellar production values.

Ross's Game Dungeon
Sample Video: Tyrian
Somewhat straddles the line because it's more of a review series. However, the review tends to focus on specifically why the game works from a design perspective rather than just iterating why the person likes the game.


And outside of gaming but along the same lines, I highly recommend Every Frame a Painting which deals with cinema.
Sample Video: Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy

Do you guys like watching these? Do you have recommendations? Let's share.
