So, every once in awhile (usually after a PAX Acquisitions Inc game), I go start to stream some tabletop group sessions in the background as a more dynamic equivalent to audio books. Problem is a lot of them just don't bring the charisma like Jim Darkmagic, and I go searching for another, which almost always brings me to a reddit thread. And seeing as the most recent searches brought me to a podcast that was selling "Social justice warlock/bard/etc" shirts, realised I should ask voat.
This time around, I just got caught up on Dice, Camera, Action. Chris Perkins is DMing a bunch of twitch folks who after the first session or two have a decent dynamic in contrast to the gothic horror of the setting. Episode 1.
Another series I liked was Temple of the Lava Bears by loadingreadyrun. As a channel, they run the fine line of being annoying, and being funny. And being known for Magic the Gathering shit. Episode 1. It pretty much is driven by Jer who is the DM, and the folks that are decent make up for the folks that are not.
HarmonQuest. I literally started to watch it thinking I was going to hate it. But the guy playing the goblin single handedly saved the series. I guess if you're a fan of Rick and Morty check it out. Only this episode is online. Yes, they change it up so that they can bring in random comedians, but it has a sort of surrealism to it that makes sense.
I tried to get into the critical role series by geek and sundry. Between having too many players, and an air of pretension, I just couldn't care, and that was before I was already in the fence about it being on that channel.
I also tried to listen to Nerd Poker, but it turns out I really don't like Brian whatever's comedy. Doesn't help that one of the players was going on about what he writes for, makes a depreciating joke, which turns out was on point.
What is everyone else's thoughts on different series, streams, etc? Any really worthwhile games recorded? Or should I just get back to eagerly awaiting more Vikings episodes, and another season of Stranger Things?

Yeah, that's pretty much why I started this thread. We all know that series almost always have some level of freaks and geeks that is outside your own level. It just is a matter of tolerance. Wish I spoke Portuguese now. Edits: grammar.
