Looking for Pathologic Let's Play/Good Let's Plays in general

[thegrimfandango]

So I've recently become fairly addicted to Let's Plays for some reason - possibly because its a good way to see games I'll never play but that have aspects that intrigue me (like The Void and Deadly Premonition and horror games and games I generally suck at)

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a Lets Play for Pathologic though. I found one but the guy clearly wasn't used to games of that genre and kept skipping all the story, which wasn't what I was looking for. If anyone knows of a decent one, please let me know.

Alternatively, If you can recommend any decent, thorough Let's Play series please chuck me a link - there's so many out there it can be overwhelming trying to find an entertaining one without wasting hours. I prefer adventure/RPG/story-based type games as opposed to platformers or arcade-style. Bonus points if the LPers commentary is genuinely interesting and funny. Not a fan of trying-too-hard frat boy humour. If someone is trying to cram as many insane mods into a game as possible and chuckling at the results, that's good too.
It's difficult to top Giant Bombs Deadly Premonition Endurance Run, but I'm hoping to find something just as good.

I dunno, there are games that intrigue me on some levels, but at the same time I've no real desire to play through them (like horror games: horror films are fine, horror games fascinate me, but I'm a wuss & suck so much at them it's just not fun).
There are certain genres I'm HOPELESS at, and Pathologic I think would be an exercise in frustration for me, but I still want to see it. But then I've always been someone who enjoyed watching people play games.

Ooh, you know what I'd like to see? A Thief: Deadly Shadows LP. I'm gonna have to track one down.

Whilst I can't provide anything for the first request, me and my brother have just started a Let's Play of Final Fantasy: XIV. It's very JRPG-ey and a lot of the game is spent running from place to place or otherwise doing quests/crafting. The channel is here [http://www.youtube.com/user/LET5PLAY?feature=mhee#p/c/CDBF0056975BE8A1/0/NgZfYUWW3H0]. I do warn you though, we are British, have fairly distinct Mancunian accents and swear a lot.

Other than that I like Yogscast Let's Plays, they're not very funny, they're just easy to watch and do interesting Minecraft adventure maps. I'd recommend them if you don't already watch them.

I'll give Yogscast a bash actually, I've heard the name kicking about and I do love Minecraft.
I'm sure I'll be just fine with your accents, I'm form the darkest reaches of Scotland myself and have the vocabulary of an angry sailor

Insane mods? You'll want The Freelance Astronauts LP Of Oblivion [http://lparchive.org/Oblivion/].
Insane story? Try Chewbot, and The Terrible Secret Of Animal Crossing [http://lparchive.org/Animal-Crossing/].
Just plain insane? Has to be Zorak's Pokemon Quartz [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Quartz/].

Also recommended: RedChocobo's Pokemon (any of them), Mr. Swoon's Monster Rancher, SynthOrange's Princess Maker 2, and Yahtzee's Flashback.

I could go on, but that's more than enough to get you addicted to the site...

Ha! That's actually the LP that made me put that part in my post

OP

I can't link you to a LP, but the playthrough RPS wrote on it was incredible.

You should give it a look.

Thanks, but that's actually where I first heard of Pathologic, and after finding a really good LP of The Void by the same team I decided to try and find a Pathologic one. No joy yet though.

There's a youtube player called Mangaminx who's charming and has good let's plays. I'd recommend her playthroughs of Amnesia: Dark Descent and Ju-On.
