This is something I have been thinking about for a little bit. 
I watch a lot of youtube Let's Play videos. I don't have the funds to buy the games, systems or the time to dedicate to just playing. Have to multitask, so the video is in the background and where I could watch movies or shorts, I choose to watch lets play's cus they kind of reminded me of the days when friends and I would play games together. 

Recently though, one of my favorites has been frustrating enough that I am not enjoying them as I used to and tend to not finish watching prerecorded or live shows. Video Games Awesome.

I have always enjoyed the show, production values, banter, costumes and Becky :P I remember seeing the previous iteration on TGWTG where it was a skit show. That show did nothing for me. Seemed too forced. With the current setup I have always enjoyed it. That is until these last couple of months. I know that Fraiser will troll the chat from time to time and he will push the game to see the flaws but recently I am finding his play throughs frustrating, the entertainment value has diminished a little bit.

That said, this is my opinion from outside the gamer community and from JUST a consumers point of view. So its uninformed and just my surface observation. Armchair gaming if you will.

It just seems that he is artificially not learning from previous gaming experiences. In the game Evil Within I could tell from just a small amount of game play that it has elements from Last of Us in crafting items and distracting enemies. Just seems that he is purposefully blocking out gaming experiences. This drags out the show and his frustrations with the UI couple be solved by paying attention to mission notes, tutorials and some common sense that all come from a long time gaming experience. I'm probably wrong. 

Don't know if its just me or there are other factors, like Ben becoming a guest appearance, and the other members too showing up based on schedules lining up. Almost feels like a 90's sitcom that was going good off the standup routines for the first 3 years then they run out of material and start going into their darker baggage and the show is not as funny anymore. 

Maybe my tastes are changing, staying the same and the show is evolving without me or they could be in a funk. I will keep watching and see. 
Just me getting something off my chest and now I will go back to my sketching. Gots commissions to finish and ports to imagine :D

I like to watch DarksydePhil because his ineptness is entertaining
