If you are looking for LPs done by women, don't forget Malorie's subtitle LP of Alone in The Dark I enjoyed it when it was first running and it holds up really well. On another note: If you aren't watching kalonZombie's LP of Lollipop Chainsaw you need to go fix that. Pretty much all the hallmarks of a good LP like game knowledge and a good skill level are apparent, but you also get a good back and forth between Kalon and Ape who have done a number of LPs together in the past and they bring on guests who for the first four or five videos get to marvel at how absolutely insane the game can be. If you want to just see the story you can power through everything now, but the thread is now tackling Hard Mode. Also, KC Green may or may not be the guest on the latest episode.

I'm looking for a chill and informative video lp of Neverwinter Nights 2 and the Mask of the Betrayer expansion. I've tried looking at a couple on youtube but none have really stood out so far. Any suggestions?

That would take so loving long and be boring as hell to watch, unless you're just having it on as background noise. I've played those games to death and that is just not a good idea. E: I recommend reading Lt. Danger's SSLP of them instead. Or go play them yourself. gatz fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Oct 20, 2013 |

I've played those games to death and that is just not a good idea. Yeah, games with a ton of dialog, tons of repetitive fights/quests and such really do lend themselves to SSLP over a VLP because it is easier to excise repetitive content from episode to episode. A good example: Fallout 2. Actually, all the Fallout games in the archives are Screenshot, and I somehow doubt that is a coincidence.

I'm really interested in board game LPs-- a lot like the Risk LP in the archive-- and my interest was repiqued with Grey Hunter's LP of Where There is Discord. It's a solo board game set around the Falklands War, with the player managing world and domestic support for the war while attempting to overrun the Argentinians. Are there any other LPs done in this style-- playing out a board game like this? I remember there was a great Risk Legacy LP in the forums for a while, but I think the OP had to call it off for personal stuff.

Isn't CrookedB a girl? For some reason I was under the impression she was, regardless, I would recommend her Wizardry IV LP either way because it is fantastic.

I will be sure and check them out. :] Since I'm late to the recommendation party, I'll just thank you for the Dead Rising 2 LP and encourage others to check it out if they haven't. You and Richie Zed have a really good duo dynamic, and there's a good balance between getting stuff done and screwing around.

It's been recommended here already, but if you're not watching Men Drinking Coffee's Ride to Hell , you really should be. It's a humorous group LP taking a look at one of the most bizarrely bad games ever, and the commentators have great chemistry. IF you liked Chip and Ironicus' 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, you'll definitely enjoy this one.

Are there any funny gimmick LPs? Say, someone playing the sims as a soviet commissar who tries to bring bolshevism to the world of the sims. I'm pretty sure that hasn't been done, but that's just an example off the top of my head. Some sort of gimmicky, narrative, humorous LP is what I'm looking for.

There's the Galactic Civilizations II playthrough with a parliamentary system where each party is represented by one of the faction heads from Alpha Centauri. That was a fun read.

Not NeverWinter Nights 2, but MyNameIsNotLily on Youtube plays Neverwinter Nights 1 and it is quite good. It is relaxed, informative, and ridiculously long.

The Megaman Zero LP has some good moments, and is a pretty solid go for a first LP, but Anthony wasn't around yet for it. The group dynamic really comes into it's own with him around for the 2nd Megaman. Advergames was my introduction to them, and is pretty much one of the best gimmick threads in forum history. The Golden Compass is also another great LP of a truly lousy game, and is the current closest analog to Ride to Hell. In my opinion, you should watch everything they have up on the archive. Honestly, you should probably watch everything on their YouTube channel as well, which includes a few non-LP videos / one-offs that never got posted on the forums. It's pretty much all solid gold.

Somebody has a crush! And it's also me. I also recommend most of MDC's older stuff. To be specific, check out their Coffee Tank series on Xbox Live Indie Games in which they play and rate some of the worst garbage that you could run on a home console pre-OUYA. I really appreciate their willingness to put more effort into their videos than just playing-a-bad-game.

Look no further than The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing. I'd rather not say the gimmick because it's amazing to see it go, but let's say things are not what they seem in the camp...

There's always the SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000 LPs, which are pretty much as quirky as the Animal Crossing one without being as terrifying (although the SC2K one has its moments. The SC3K one is fairly benign, though).

You know, there was this whole discussion over narrative LPs the other day, as in, a player creating a narrative around the LP from the perspective of the player character beyond what the game presents. If you are looking for that sort of thing I don't think there is a better immediate example than TTSoAC. That or the "Freeman Of the Wastes" Fallout 3 LP I've posted about here in the past.

I thought Control Volume's Roller Coaster Tycoon lp where each park had a different theme and hilariously named attractions was pretty great. So was the Sims lp with Chester The Goon. Both were abandoned though.

I'm familiar with Chewbot's fantastic animal crossing LP, but you're right to recommend it. I've looked over a part or two of Bobbin Threadbare's fallout 3 LP, but I don't think I'd enjoy it very much just because I don't think the half-life 2 and whatever its sequels are called have very good stories. I don't like the characters, so there's nothing I'd get from the LP, unless I'm missing something. I never played the first one. I think what we can all take away from this discussion is that there should be more good narrative LPs. Too bad they're so hard to do right. gatz fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Oct 29, 2013 |

CapitanGarlic's Icewind Dale 2 playthrough and Dolash's NWN2: Storm of Zehir are both some of my favorite LPs because they do a fantastic job of taking player-generated characters and making really interesting and entertaining narratives around their development.
