Can anyone recommend some thorough video LPs of classic Mario games?

Ahhh, thanks. That's a good resource but it doesn't have everything (ie. the Space Quest Collection is missing) and it still only has single files and not large files containing everything so I would still need a browser extension to download everything I guess?

EDIT: It's also missing Bacter's Colonel's Bequest and others :(

Can anybody give me some recommendations on some video (not screenshot), really informative LP's? (I've searched on lparchive.org and it gave me a list but I'm not sure the quality of them)

Basically, I'm looking for an LP where somebody really knows a lot about the game and not just a bunch of idiots playing it together not really saying anything interesting...

(I'm espicially interested in Sierra games if any of that stuff exists with informative commentary but I'm open to all suggestions for anything interesting!)


It's been going nearly a year, so you may have seen it already, but I just thought I'd recommend Silver Falcon's Okami VLP.

Normally, I don't like VLP's, but I've been watching it lately, and it's really loving good. Falcon knows her poo poo.

Any good text adventure (not CYOA) LPs out there? Doesn't have to be on the archive.

If you have archives, Rock Tumbler/Weedle/Haste Paste/Lee Van Queef did some truly bizarre ones here. He also did one of Anchorhead, a fantastic Cthulhu Mythos one.

Maybe give Davidspackage LP of Stonekeep a try. Very informative commentary over a nice little slice of 90's WRPG'ing. It's especially nice if you've never heard of the series and you can get a good idea of the way the game was such a trainwreck.
Thirding this. Just tried it out for grins, and I'm really enjoying the LP :v: Largely because Stonekeep & Grimrock are the sorts of games that I want to be good at, but it always goes poorly. It's nice to see someone play it intelligently for a change :downs:

Awesome, thanks for this, it's great! I had actually been avoiding that thread because I thought it was another Dwarf Fortress LP.

Now if you've never heard of this game... it's very Japanese. Not anime, not creepy, just ... off kilter and odd and funny. It's got some odd uses of the Nintendo DS stylus and microphone, it's silly, it's ...

I don't know if that guy wanted more informative specific LPs, but ProtonJon's lp of Superman64 tells you exactly why the game sucks, including interviews with the makers of the game. Sadly it looks like it will never be finished, but you can find it on his youtube channel if you don't have archives.

Then, everything with Vicas and his group:

This includes the Mega Man Race videos with him, (sidenote: Quite a few of these are fun.) and Chocolate Secret.


Other possibilities, depending on your taste: Pork LIft and wateyad's stuff, this incredibly silly Disaster thread, this incredibly silly Hitman thread, this incredibly silly Two Worlds thread, Thornbrain's stuff.


And then you of course have the obvious things like anything with slowbeef and Diabetus, or with pokecapn's crew.

I was a fan of Faceguy's Super Mario Sunshine and Paper Mario LPs.

Seems like the new thread never got archived. I don't know if that's just backlog or not. Thread's on the verge of going into the archives, but it's still around. First Paper Mario LP is up on the archives.

Going on right now, I'd highly recommend Some Strange Flea's Star Fox 64 run.

Considering Baldurk only just managed to archive his own LP of L4D2, I'm gonna say it's absolutely due to backlog.

FYI threads get archived roughly in order of when they're requested not when they're finished, I don't automatically hunt for threads that finish and grab them. So unless someone mails in, usually the author, it's not going to be archived.

If you are unsure of this - There is a highlight real of the worst Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC - But I would avoid the Fragile videos they might be a bit too depressing even with Pork Lift's jokes on top of the game. But the bonus videos in the Fragile thread are very happy.

Sweet tricks, mom.
The beauty of Chocolate Secret was that initially neither UZ nor I knew Colon V wanted to go through the whole game. I'm not entirely sure he knew it, for that matter. It kind of started as a "well sure I don't have anything else to do tonight" and turned into "oh god he's almost done I guess I might as well see this through to the end."

(not that I didn't have fun doing it :v:)

Seeing Ladderface post reminded me of the current Rchimp thread. Featuring the funniest video on the internet in which Rarr_Im_A_Dinosaur is the worst best person. Context is unnecessary and waiting for the entire thing to be archived before you watch it will save you from the fact that Rchimp loses access to his arms for months at a time and cannot upload videos.
