I have been religiously watching Shamus's Spoiler for a long time now. Since I discovered it after reading one his escapist colums and following the link to his blog. Through the many episodes I have found insight into why I enjoyed a game or what exactly it was that 'just wasn't right' about another. They have really helped me assess the narrative in games more closely. Plus they are just funny people.

So I was curious if there are many other fans in the escapist community? If not, I would encourage you all to take a look. Prehaps start with the Bioshock or Fallout new vegas seasons.

"Punch his butt!"

Edit: maybe I should post a link incase anyone is interested. http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?page_id=16386
The current season (skyrim) can be found on YouTube.

I'm a TwentySided regular and found his site through Spoiler Warning (ME2! At the time I disliked the game, and this was waaay before it was cool to dislike Mass Effect games and it was pleasant to find an LP by people with a similar opinion).

I think my favourite seasons would be Deus Ex: Human Revolution, or Tomb Raider or The Walking Dead, although Fallout: New Vegas is a perfect example of their style

I've been watching SW for a couple of years now.It's one of my favourite channels on Youtube.I love that it manages to combine intelligent discussion and silly humour

My favourite season so far is probably Mass Effect 3 as they really highlighted everything that was wrong with that game(and it was a lot).Anyone who trots out the old "ME3 was perfect apart from the last 10 mins" line should really watch their playthrough

I only discovered Spoiler Warning recently enough and I really love what I've seen so far. Probably watched around half their videos. Easily the best Let's Play style series I've seen.

I love the series myself as well. It drags at times, especially if they get too off topic, but it's generally a very good show.

Don't watch it often enough though. They do take up a lot of time

I really like the show but I think some of the seasons are too long and after a while there aren't all that many points left for them to talk about. So I normally pay more attention while watching the earlier episodes and for the later ones I'll normally just leave it running to the side of whatever I'm currently doing and if something interesting comes up I just wind back a minute or so.

Overall, I really like the let's play format they use. It is far better compared to the nonsense some other youtubers are producing.

You guys should also listen to the Diecast episodes! Really entertaining podcast with some very interesting analysis as well.
