Indeed.
So, I stumbled across this webseries after playing the demo of the Squad game, Kerbal Space Program (review for that will be posted soon). Kurt, or kurtjmac, as he is called on YouTube, is the genius between the series. He commentates as he runs through, and often fails at, missions to space.
The videos a posted on about a weekly basis for the past year, and let me tell you, they are quite amusing at times. More often than not, this happens when the ship or plane that he is piloting explodes and he freaks out. While his failures are hilarious, Kurt's commentary is generally pretty funny on its own too. And don't worry if you have no idea what is going on, because he tells you what is happening more often than not.
As you are watching the series, you can definitely tell that Kurt learns how to better play the game as his missions get more and more ambitious. And due to the game (which is currently in beta) progresses, more and more content is released, giving him even more fodder for the camera. Due to this fact, this is one of those series that I could go back and watch over and over again.
My one true gripe about the show is that there are some portions that are just simply boring. It's nothing that can really be helped either, mainly either flying through space, waiting for the correct time to restart the engines, or even sometimes in the process of building the ships. Kurt circumvents this, however, by a few methods. He'll either cut to the good parts, fast forward, or just fill in the empty space with some witty banter, all of which serve to make the video more interesting.

| Overall, a near perfect score... |
Let's Play Kerbal Space Program by kurtjmac gets a near perfect 9½ stars. While the fact that a few areas in his show are somewhat boring, it really isn't something that Kurt can control and he does try to make it not as boring, and for that, he only loses a ½ star. So, go out to the YouTubes (Reference!) and check out his series, I'm sure you will find something you like. And in a future review, look for the game Kerbal Space Program.
