I've seen Something Awful for a while and finally decided to register to the place as a whole. Now that I'm registered I've started looking into subforums and I saw a Lets Play section, I'd never gotten any comments on my one attempt at a Let's Play and thought that doing it was fun, so I wandered what people who actually make them would think.

But no, I didn't pay $10 specifically for the Let's Play section

Just take it in stride, dude. Lurk around and check out other people's LPs to figure out how your stuff should look. Here's a couple recommendations for you. Also don't be too attached to just doing a video LP. I recently made my first screenshot LP and I like doing that a lot more than I did making videos, so that might be better for you too.

And don't take poo poo too personally dude. If people don't like your video, they don't like your video. You can try again later. But for now you can try and get better and make something more enjoyable, or you can give up and just be one of the thousands of obscure Youtube LPers that no one ever watches. People didn't like my first post and it wasn't a big deal, I just tried other stuff. If people are being harsh, that's just because that's how poo poo is on the internet. Nothing to get too upset about.

Edit: Also this VVVVV Don't try to be "edgy" and do offensive jokes, they're usually just creepy and weird.

I haven't seen any test posts up since Brad stirred up all this controversy. Maybe you should skim through previous pages to see if anyone posted one up. I'm down to watch it if they can make it entertaining enough to keep me in my seat.

My experience with Lets Plays was people who capture in what ever way thet can and then make funny narrations. Sometimes the crudeness of recording adds to the entertainment. The only others id seen are of kids who put a camera on their TV

But yes, I should have looked harder at what the standards for videos on this forum were first

Know what, this generally interested me. You honestly believe that your video is acceptable even after admitting that it has "some" techinal faults.

So please if you would enlighten me, what is GOOD about your video? What am I missing about your video that makes you believe that is not a bad Let's Play and APPARENTLY a good Let's Play. Oh please tell me :allears:

Just drop it and lurk a while. Get an idea how LPs work around here, and give this time to blow over. Do that, and maybe you'll find you enjoy the subforum. Don't, and you'll probably be punished for perpetuating this poo poo.

I thought it was an okay video before I posted it, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it, but now I recognize that it is not an okay video which is why I said apparently. I had fun making it so I didn't think it was a piece of poo poo, which I now do. I'm not arguing it's a good video

As much fun as this wasn't, I think it's time we all just drop it. There are still people who also want to get an idea of what they should do to become better at LPing and we've all wasted our time with Brad. So how bout we let bygones be bygones and get on with life, because this has remarkably gotten out of hand.

He's got a point. If you drop it now no one will probably even remember talking about this a week from now, but if you get uppity about it like a lot of people who fail at the Sandcastle do, then you're likely do be ridiculed forever. Or probated, if they take it way too far.

Not saying you're being uppity, you're actually taking it pretty decently. But still, you should drop it at this point.

Oh you're confused because I said good in the other post.No, the fact that I made a bad video and people are calling it "controversial" or assuming that I specifically made a bad video for the purpose of posting it here, makes me like the video.

The video is bad but the amount that everyone is freaking out about it makes me not feel bad for making it

After spending time with family, I decided to waste time and record Part 2:

Oh Snap! Metroid Fusion Is Back In the House!



What's The Catch?
Well, I wanted to record again and avoid those mistakes that had been made in the first video. If you want to see what those blunders are, then I'll post a link to that video as well.

What's New?
An old friend of ours returns. Anyone remember Arachnus?



Now that he's back, we're going to have one helluva time, right? If you're looking for a strategy against this intricate fiend, then this is your type of LP. But he's not the only one whose in for a treat.



We've got Core-X's to deal with as well. Man this video's gonna have it all!

So What Do You Want Us To Do?
I just want you to tell me if there's anything that I need to improve on and if I should go through with this LP.

Items Collected (Part 1):
x1 Missile Launcher

Items Collected (Part 2):
x6 Missile Tanks, x2 Energy Tanks,
x1 Morph Ball, x1 Charge Beam

Problems with Part 1(Technical):
- Commentary De-synced
- Game audio is louder than me at some points

Videos:
Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srbbkJ2qydU

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akuwoolBmhs
