Hbomberguy's run of Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is also worth a watch. He does have a few guests, though only for a couple of videos, if you dislike multiple commentators. All videos are here: Viddler (along with those of his STALKER lp, which is also pretty good!)

I'm looking for atmospheric LPs of horror games, preferably subtitled. I've got archives, so it doesn't have to just be ones on the Archive website. e: I've seen all four of Egomaniac's LPs and am looking for more like them, to be specific.

I'm going to have to put in a recommendation for Strange Matter's LP of Robopon: Sun Version. The game itself, while quite fun, is one of the most shameless Pokemon ripoffs ever conceived, though it does have quite a few interesting character designs. In spite of this, Strange Matter's narrative and incredibly detailed descriptions of the game's battles really make the LP a great read.

Have you tried The Man With a Hat's Dead Space LP? I don't know if it's really what you're looking for, as I found it more funny than atmospheric, but it is a very good subVLP of a horror game.

There are only a few LPs that I've watched that I can even remember. Examples of ones I've seen and enjoyed are Jurassic Park Trespasser by Research Indicates and Mercenaries 2 by that one guy and Lithuanian Dad. I'm looking for something well produced with good commentary. Something that's informative and shows off everything about a game like Trespasser, or plays on comedic points like Mercenaries 2. But not one where the player just babbles like an idiot non-stop -- everything by Psychedelic Eyeball, for instance. Any suggestions?

This one's nice. It's The Void, done by Cannibal9k. Voice fits the game's ambiance. It's closer to RI's mellow informative tone than the madcap insanity of Mercs 2. Good watch though.

I can't get enough of medibot as a co-commentator - I've seen him with MNEK and KFJ, what else has he been CO-pilot on? He needs to have his brain free to think up crazy poo poo to say.

E-Tap posted:Kingdom Hearts II I've already recommended this a few times, but I doubly recommend it in this case. It's hard to quantify exactly why, but I find this to be one of the most entertaining LPs ever. I still occasionally go back and watch it to this day. The commentary is laid back and amazingly informative, plus Kingdom Hearts II is a beautiful game which really lends itself to VLP.

You should also take a look at the Dead Space LP recommended right above you. It's informative AND comedic and there's a lot of effort put into it. The Man with a Hat did like four or five concurrent playthroughs to get all the footage he used. He also played to both sides by presenting a subtitled semi-serious and informative atmospheric playthrough and another completely different fun-trainwreck styled voiced run. Add to that tons of concept art, background, tie-ins to other mediums and products in the franchise and he's got all the bases covered. The only downside to this LP is that he takes two or three episodes to get into the commentating groove so the earlier videos can be a bit lacking.

He's also in balckbelt bobman's Super Paper Mario LP, but you need archives. it doesn't look like it has been archived elsewhere, but here is the link to the first video on viddler. Your mileage may vary with this one, obviously. ///thread question/// Has there ever been an LP here done in a foreign language? I think there's been some one-off novelty episodes done either entirely or partly in the commentator's native language (by psychedelic eyeball, i think), but I can't think of anything even close to an entire LP being being done in something besides english. I know it would be sort of alienating to 99% of the forum, thus not worth the effort, but I think it would be kind of cool anyway.

English board, English LP's. I've heard of some in Japanese, and other languages are certainly possible, but I don't think you'll find them being produced here. You may have to brave the internet and YouTube for something like that, I think.

a spooky ghost posted:///thread question/// baldurk made his flower LP in icelandic, but then removed all of the commentary before he published any videos. I don't get why you'd want to watch it though, it sucks listening to some dude playing a game and not being able to tell what he's talking about. No he didn't, there's not commentary at all since it's flower.

The commentary is very informative, interesting, and the LPer is very skilled at a game that is notorious for its absurd difficulty.

Hey, I usually stick to screenshot threads but lately I've been wanting some LP videos to have in the background while I do other work and crap at the desk. Problem is that aimlessly browsing has led me to a LOT of horrible crap. Basically I'd like something fun that doesn't take itself too seriously, with the LPer just chatting to the viewer and dicking around in the game and cracking jokes and stuff. Nothing with horribly annoying voices, and I'd prefer ones that are actually funny instead of embarrassing attempts at humour. I mean, don't gotta be Oscar Wilde levels of wit, god knows I'm unfunny enough, but you guys know what I'm talking about right?  Some I've seen are like Mr. Bean levels of shame.The only video LPs I've seen so far and really enjoyed were Deceased Crab's La Mulana vids, and EvilTim's uh, everything.

I'm going to interrupt the onslaught of people who are about to make fun of you for pointing out Deceased Crab (though that said, I did like the original La Mulana LP). But the problem is that a lot of your criteria are kinda subjective, so it's tough to make a recommendation. I think Chip/Ironicus joints are a safe bet. They did the Metal Gear Solid games, No More Heroes, and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand amongst a couple of others. I usually find they hit a good stride between showing off things in the game without getting too boring, and they add some production value to the whole spiel.

If you've got archives, check out The Man with a Hat's Dead Space LP. There's humor to be found in both run-throughs, and TMWAH does a good job at introducing the mechanics of the game while still keeping the LP a continuous, accessible thread.

Why  I don't read threads here, I go through the Master List so I miss all the goony feedback and opinions. Gotta say I didn't like DC's other stuff, after checking out a random few. La Mulana was the magnum opus.quote:But the problem is that a lot of your criteria are kinda subjective, so it's tough to make a recommendation.

Oh and I also liked your Genesis/NES Immortal videos Mr. Slowbeef.  Forgot to mention those.

I'm actually fond of several of Deceased Crab's projects, more so than many people here are. For example: people made fun of him for LPing the NES Tetris. I've never seen what happens when someone beats the NES Tetris B Type before, and thanks to Deceased Crab, I could see the ending of Tetris. Sure, it wasn't the most engrossing LP ever, and was admittedly dull, but I appreciate that he finally allowed me to see the ending of Tetris.

It works because when they do a play through of something, the focus is on *play*. You get the impression that one or both of them is at the controls of the game because playing they intend to have fun playing it. They make the experience entertaining even when the game itself might be found lacking. Same goes for Ambisagrus and A Wooden Palisade in the Crackdown LP that they've been doing as part of the Co-Op Megathread.
