The Let's Play Curse

Share definition
A condition someone develops when they become a Let's Player that, on a subconscious level, makes them want to do a Let's Play of every game they have ever played, are currently playing, or will ever play, thinking of little quirks and catchphrases in each of these games that they could develop into commentary, as well as various "tricks" that they know in each game that they would like to share with their viewers; in this way, the word "curse" becomes synonymous with the word "addiction" (i. e. an "addiction" to Let's Playing), rather than the "bad luck" that Chuggaaconroy defined it as, regardless of his "coining" of the term. In addition to promoting the subconscious desire in someone to do a Let's Play of every game that they have ever played, are currently playing, or will ever play, the Let's Play Curse also prompts it's victims, while they are playing a game "just for fun," to commentate aloud as though they were recording an actual Let's Play for others to watch.
While gamemixup333 and I were watching his sister play Pokepark, for the Wii, we had taken a break from recording a Let's Play that we planned to upload to YouTube, but the Let's Play Curse compelled us to make up voices for all the Pokemon and to criticize the logic of the game in our style of commentary, as though we were still recording.

When a series on YouTube becomes more about the personality of the person making it than the purpose of the video.

Ex. When a let’s-play stops being about the gameplay
Jacksepticeye videos are in the let’s-play zone for me.”

A very unique youtuber, who doesn't use any form of expression outside of body movement or audio clips. he usually plays vr games and indie titles.

from his "about" page on youtube: "Silence is golden.
-Like videogames, especially VR and indie titles?
-Like Let's Plays?
-Like subtle editing and humour?
-Like constant face-cam interruptions and fake over-reactions being screamed in your ear? ...No?
Good, 'cause we only have those first three things; this is the Let's STFU and Play channel. Enjoy."

Lets Play Curse

This is when you do something called a "Lets Play", and no matter how much you practice, when you start recording... you suddenly suck at the game.
When chuggaaconroy was doing a Lets Play of Super Mario Sunshine, he repeatedly references the Lets Play Curse.
