You can watch most of these guys play through Vechs' Super Hostile series if you search for it (just search vechs super hostile or zisteau super hostile in YT - you'll find it). Also, the Super Hostile maps are ridiculous, though should be played on the version for which they were released (seriously, a couple of them were so full of rage quits it wasn't even funny). Watching Zisteau handle them is hilarious, because he starts building roller coasters into them and whatnot. Vechs has done developer commentary on a couple of the maps and what inspired him to do things certain ways, how he manipulates the vanilla game mechanics, etc. Whichever one had the Hissing Sands area was terrifying to play through. Tons of creeper spawners in a sand and glass filled area with lava above. One creeper blows, and you're kinda SOL unless you were wise enough to farm the hell out of Fire Protection potions. Fun stuff to watch.

I'm partial to watching the Forgecraft videos like what Direwolf20 does, but more so the others with whom he plays. Dire does YouTube vids, but Jadedcat, Slowpoke101, Tahg, Soaryn, and Aureylian all stream on Twitch. I'm still convinced Slowpoke has the most calming voice in the universe.
