Preferably one that does a good job of explaining choices rather than blowing past everything, If you don't mind the wait I am planning exactly this. Part Let's Play/part video walkthrough. It's still about a month out though because I won't have time to start until after I move into my new place.

Okay, I need your help people. I'm looking for a specific LP by taxidermistpasta, on a Mega Man game (I don't remember which one). I thought it was funny as gently caress, and I only remember a few quotes from it, gems like 'Time is Mega Man o'clock' (referencing the lives bar with the mega man's face and colon followed by two zeros) and an compilation of him dying and saying gently caress maybe twenty times. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Organic Robot's Escape From Butcher Bay thread needs some more love. He does a good job of showing off the game, and his laid back commentary fits well with it. The game itself also seems to be an under the radar type game that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

I just finished reading Let's play - Machinarium and loved it. ( http://lparchive.org/Machinarium/ ) Great music, interesting logic puzzles I don't think I could have solved without looking at a guide and subtitles that help keep the atmosphere going. Was wondering if anyone could recommend another Let's play that has that kind of click the screen / puzzled based game. I always loved watching others play these games as all the solutions seemed complicated as a kid. Cheers

It's not a point and click game, but if you want atmospheric and awesome, then I can't recommend CannibalK9's LP of The Void enough. He does talk, but his voice is very......soothing and non-intrusive. Goes well with the game. http://lparchive.org/The-Void/ e: I will say that watching it inspired me to get the game, if that means anything. He pulled it off well.

speaking of which, at least 3 lp's, I've seen the game designer come in and answer questions about the games being played (Yahtzee in the Chzo mythos thread, TheLxR in The Void thread, and recently Al Lowe in the Leisure Suit Larry thread). I always find this interesting, so are there any other threads where this has happened?

"The" game designer, heh  Well, in Metroixer's Let's Break Pokemon Blue we had some insightful commentary from the translator of the first two GB games. (ninjaedit: What the guy above said.) The Chronicles of Riddick thread had a level designer drop by and give some neat background details and also post a picture of Vin Diesel with a box of World of Warcraft and a big ol' smile.

Don't forget a bunch of the Ubisoft Prince of Persia games, which have had some behind the scenes commentary from one of the programmers. Gimbal Lock, unless I have him confused with someone else.

Are there any good video LPs of Silent Hill 2 around? I like From Earth's, but I'd love to watch one in video form, and all of the brilliant comedians on YouTube keep talking over the cutscenes. (Kamoc's LP of Homecoming has put me in the mood for more Silent Hill).

As far as I know, he posted on both The Two Thrones and the Prince of Persia 2008 threads, but saddly he wasn't there for the Forgotten Sands LP, and I don't know about the Assassin's Creed 1 & 2 LP threads. He guested in one episode of Coulis' The Two Thrones LP and there's a "Developer Behind the scene fun facts with Gimbal lock" section in my Prince of Persia 2008 LP, just scroll down and you'll see the Gimbal lock section.

This is an offsite lp and not exactly what you were asking for, but you can watch the developers of Magicka playing through the game and talking about its development here.

If you haven't checked out Geop's Assassin's Creed LP you are missing out. There are 1 or 2 videos left. He is skilled at the game. The editing has struck the proper balance between showing too much and not enough. His commentary is what puts it over the top. He takes the game and tries to find the corresponding real life landmarks and then gives the history on them when he has to scale them. I could try and describe his latest improvement but these quotes say it so much better. JT Jag posted:Great video. The history segments were outstanding... KozmoNaut posted:
Cooked Auto posted:Good lord. That is impressively put together I have to say... And more. If nothing else go watch the first 10-20 min of his latest video (link to containing post).

He's either a writer or an artist for the Archie Sonic comics, I forget which.

I need a little help finding an LP. I read an update or two but forgot to mark it and couldn't find it again. It's an SSLP, about Chinese history and the genre was somewhat Princess Maker / RPG. Most of the game is isometric, and apparently it is translated from Chinese. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

This one may be a bit of a hard sell.... It's a Mega Man LP. And it's a non-gimmick run of the series. Forums user Simply Simon has been doing what can best be described as a video love letter to the historic series. Immensely interesting to someone, like me, who has never played the series before, he actually uses the sub-weapons as they were intended and explains various bits and bobs of the game design in a straightforward manner. I seem to be among the minority of the people viewing since I've never played the game, so if you are a fan of the seminal series, having defeaty Wily countless times, you should still give it a look. His approach is refreshing, his commentary is well rehearsed and delivered in an engagingly friendly German accent. It is a fantastic series that is up there with the best, and it's criminal his latest thread hasn't gone gold, though this might be more due to his extremely quick update schedule. Even the threads themselves have been an entertaining read, with lots of great music and item discussion, as well as several great remixes of classic Mega Man music being posted. His first thread is slipping towards archives, so if you don't have that you'll need to catch it soon. Mega Man - The unexpected Abraham Mega Man 2 - Birth of a Legend and currently ongoing... Mega Man 3 - A Slide to the Top [/effort post] Sorry if someone else has already recommended this series with a less  ey post, but a quick search for "Simon" for the last 5 pages found nothing.

Gonna throw up two recommendations here. Vilkacis' Shining in the Darkness LP has been a great read. It's a dungeon crawler he's bending over his knee, and is full of cool information. You can see the precursors to the Shining Force series here as well. It's a lot like ddegenha's no-BS runthroughs of the Final Fantasy Legend series, so if you liked those check this out. Crowtron's Parasite Eve LP has been an awesome read as well. It's not survival horror per se, but it's definitely gooey and unsettling at some parts and just plain what the hell at others. I don't think there's been an update yet I haven't laughed thanks to his writing.

I recently finished playing the original Portal (I've had a really crappy computer for a really long time), and now I'd like to see a voice lp commenting on the story and showing anything that I might've missed. I could tell by the first three minutes of the one on the LP archive that it does not fit the bill, so could anyone recommend a good one from elsewhere?

What you probably want to do is play through the game again with the Developers' Commentary enabled. That should cover everything. There was a discussion recently about how Portal is basically un-LPable in another thread, so I don't expect you'll see any other LPs any time soon. Or you could just do a Youtube search like a normal person who hates having fun.
