You could just listen to music or some podcasts instead.
I don't like listening to podcasts while I do things, I like to listen to them while I commute or before sleep.
I don't like to listen to music as background noise, I sit down with albums, actively listening.

Yeah, listen to an audio book about a legitimate topic if you're that starved for background distraction to save you from the terrifying thoughts your own mind produces. At least something might sneak in as opposed to some opinion on if they handled Triss's romance quest well or not.
I don't like audiobooks, I read books, that's one of my favorite things to do, I don't understand why I would want someone to read them for me while I don't even pay attention.
Most of the books I enjoy probably don't even have audiobook versions.

It's precisely because it's about video game or movie analysis that it fits so well for background listening.
I'm not stressing if I miss details about Triss's butt, but I do care if I'm missing something out of a book, podcast or music.
These long videos are for pure escapism, I often listen to them while I'm playing blobbers or wargames.

Can't believe I have never heard of this game. A couple of the people from black isle worked on it, people from the bg2 and van buren teams.

Haven't watched the video but I remember reading review of it from finnish gaming magazine, got pretty average score IIRC from their "rpg guy", who had pretty good taste.

Really? Because they released the game in pretty bad state and even after patches (1.10 being the final one, called Reloaded) it was still average at best.

Yeah, it's not an exceptional game by any stretch, but it certainly has got some charm to it. I'll try to play it in the near future. Will report.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Georggreat's reviews are interesting and under-viewed.

Yeah, he's been mentioned, but it doesn't hurt to mention him again, he's really good.

I like his stuff otherwise but I dislike the sketches with the plush toy, not sure why he feels those are necessary.

Is that a... presentable looking fellow covering retro video games? I expected an awkwardly balding fat slob of a manchild, damn it! I didn't pay for this!

There are a few others who covers old games, and looks presentable, shocking I know.

2,5 hours long retrospective on Dragon Age games, should be good, his tastes are pretty codexian.
