A name in any context is a personal matter. Whether it is a name you go by in real life or online. As such, no one can really pick one out for you. The best we can do is offer suggestions until inspiration hits. Names are a permanent thing and are really telling of the kind of person you are, despite how you may act. As such, names are a label that you can't just remove once the sticker is attached. This is especially true in this case as I've never seen any way to change your name on YouTube.

All of that being said, there are a number of "buzz words" what you can combine or play off of that will work for your name in this context. You mention technology twice and gaming once, meaning technology is your main forte in these videos. You review things, unbox things, play with things. The kind of style you are going for needs to reflect the kind of personality you wish to portray. For example, you can't have a silly, goofy, head in the clouds kind of personality with the name TechLord9000 any more than you can have a serious, rough commanding personality and refer to yourself as DorkBoy64. So, the words that could fit you are as follows:

  • Tech
  • Geek (Nerd and Dork are reserved for the socially challenged, but can sometimes work, too)
  • Box
  • Mac (If you're an Apple fan)

Without more information to go by, this is all I can come up with. Perhaps an added extra onto the front like Dr. or Prof. or something on the end, doesn't have to be a number. Give a bit more info about your videos, or provide some of the videos and we could do a lot better as your name generator.

As Eric Fox said, we can't really "pick" you a YouTube name. This is something personal for YOU to figure out. The most we can do is attempt to help you out. Reread what Eric says. He hit it right on the button. He gave some good advice and some great tips on picking a name. He is wise.

I've always thought the best name for me is my own name.

Look around the internet, I'm always "ronknights." That's my "brand."

Now, Chris Pirillo, on the other hand, has a "dual brand," at the very least.

Chris is Chris Pirillo & Lockergnome... Did I forget any other names.

I find that very confusing.

But then I'm easily confused sometimes.
