Glorious Escapism Roleplay

Recently I watch a lot of LPs, reviews and general commentary.

The Yogscast, TotalBiscuit, Yahtzee, CavemanFilms and a a few other randomers have caught my attention, and I'm wondering whether any of you watch similar videos.

I watch a lot of internet reviewers (mostly those on TGWTG.com), but not on youtube and usually not ones that focus on games. I tend to find reviews and commentary more interesting when its about movies and other stuff as opposed to games; I guess probably because outside of my small niche, I'm not really much of a gamer.

Haven't even really watched Yahtzee anymore.

The Winter Owl. He does a lot of simulation games, things like Kerbal Space Program, IL-2 Sturmovik and Silent Hunter 4. I'm starting to prefer his videos over things like the Yogscast because he doesn't try to be funny. He just gives genuine commentary, mumbles to himself, utters his calculations out loud; it's a joy to watch and listen to.

Well, there's PewDePie, but I'm generally annoyed by his fakeness.

OTH, I've been watching Game Grumps, co-hosted by EgoRaptor and JonTronShow (Arin Hnsen and Jon Jafari). Their gameplay varies, but its their commentary and insight that makes it absolutely hilarious and enjoyable. The fanbase is mostly awesome when it comes to mixing their quotes into songs and flash vids, although they'll act like self-entitled brats that complain like hell.
