I have them, that LP was amazing and it's a shame that it never finished. I can up the videos but yeah, it'd be great to have a permanent storage of them somewhere.

I've been watching this, and have to give a hearty recommendation: These guys on youtube worked on Ratchet & Clank games and did LPs for 2 and 3. You should watch this even if you have no knowledge of the games if you're even mildly interested in game development, because the guys are funny, they complain about each other's design constantly, they share stories from the development that are hilarious, interesting, and both at the same time, and it's a pretty good playthrough of the games on top of it.

Except for the part where they're awful at the games.  But yeah, definitely watch these guys. I know they've been brought up before in this thread, but it really is an interesting watch. I just wish they would get a move on with the first game they've done all of one video for.

Disaster: Day of Crisis by Coulis and friends If anyone's planning on reuploading them to Youtube or something, do note that these videos are anamorphic 16:9 at 720x480, so you'll need to fix that to make them look right. The yt:stretch=16:9 tag should still work. Admiral H. Curtiss fucked around with this message at 04:55 on May 8, 2014 |

Anyone got any suggestions for chilled out long LP's of interesting games? Basically i'm doing the annual "insomniac Jadestar" request. The games can be creepy, that's fine, just not super highpaced and loads of flashy colors.

I like the Diablo 2 run by My Name Is Kaz - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3571631 He's running the game really low intensity, using nothing but his summoned skeletons and minions, and he's pretty informative about the game. And being Diablo 2 it's all fairly dark, so definitely not flashy.

Research Inidcates did an unfinished run of the first game: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3270375 As I said, it's been abandoned, but RI's name should be enough to guarantee that what content there is, is top-notch.

Research Indicates LP'd the computer version of the game, but I'm not sure if he ever finished it. RI is the gold standard when it comes to LP's so you're in for a treat if you can find it.

Thanks fellas. Might have to purchase a copy for myself then. The lack of LPs for two apparently well-received games surprises me. At least there is something though.

Last I watched he was in hell difficulty using only summons on his necro. Act 3 I think now? It's diablo 2 with some personality. And that personality is a necromnacer that doesn't want to touch any creepy monsters or gross dead bodies. Very entertaining.

It's definitely a nice, long, relaxed LP. If someone pitched this LP to me as "some dude plays through all of Diablo 2, all three difficulties, with a build that relies just on pets," I probably wouldn't have bothered. His commentary is great, covers a lot of D2 topics (most of which I was oblivious to), and there just isn't really a "dry spell" or a "slump" or anything. It's good, consistent fun  I'm glad there isn't much indication of the stream-chat. I just like to imagine some Diablo sperglords rambling in all caps about DUDE YOU'RE NOT MIN/MAXING THIS RIGHT, and Kaz is just ignoring 'em  Those 20 unspent stat-points are most certainly bothering some folks, and I find it delightful

Does anyone remember that one Zelda LP that was weird because it was done with time limits on when quests would open? It was one of the old ones. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called and can't seem to find it in the archive. Maybe it was just a fever dream.

I'm looking for humorous group or pair LPs, preferably currently active. I can't get enough of Ride to Hell and would like other LPs in that style. I really loved Blood on the Sand, Mecernaries 2, Lowtax's Bad Games thread, and everything by the Tipping 40s.

They're currently doing Fall of Cybertron, but they've done other LPs, including War for Cybertron. They don't really do bad games, though Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is close, but going off the other people you listed I think you might like them.

Bacter and Mzbundifund have a great rapport and I'm excited they're doing Baldur's Gate because if they go through the whole series that should make for a nice, substantial LP. Oh, and kalonZombie and Ape Has Killed Ape are the Chip and Ironicus of Ratchet and Clank, I have it on good authority.

Speaking of Bacter and Mzbundifund's Baldur's Gate thread, Red_October_7000 posted this over there:Red_October_7000 posted:Well I guess this will be going the distance! I've 5'd already but I'd 5 again if I could. BG2 is a favourite of mine and the BG Ironman runs thread was enough to make me grab BG2 off GOG because of how much good times I had with that game. This will be a truly epic Let's Play! I didn't want to derail that thread into talking about other LPs, especially because I was worried it might end up in spoiler territory and half the point of the thread is that Bacter's going in blind. So I thought I'd bring it here, and was wondering if someone could link me to the BG Ironman thread Red_October_7000 mentions? It sounds intriguing.

I certainly haven't ruled that out, but CoD1 was about 200% more work than I had originally thought, and there was a lot more interest in the CoD1 thread for me to do CoD2 next. I will probably revisit the Call of Duty games, as the earlier ones have a soul in them that I think was seriously lost shortly after the transition to becoming a modern shooter. Modern Warfare 1 had some really good moments, but anything after that is just iconic of what Yahtzee terms 'spunk-gargle-wee-wee'. Also I wasn't even aware World at War was on PC until the CoD1 thread, so I have to play that initially too!

Yeah, the last few CoD games have been pretty rote (save for Black Ops 2 that polished the typical gameplay with multiple endings and some player choices), and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to LP them. The best thing you can say about the games these days is that they are short.
