Pork Lift posted:It's a pretty late recommendation but Dyslexiactic and Proximal Chocolate's High School Dreams Let's pee is both radical and tubular. The game is a highly advanced, fully voice acted dolly dress up teen girl sim with a deep plot, complex characters and a grimdark twist ending. Okay actually it's shallow and about attracting boyz by dressing in clothes they like but the voice acting thing is actually true. Watch this LP. Watch it now. Watch it and see what you missed out on because you were all probably unpopular losers in high school.

kalonZombie posted:I have been tearing through Geop's Assassin's Creed LP and you should too, if you haven't already. I don't know what I'm going to do with my free time when I'm done. I'd like to second this, it's a very nicely done informative runthrough of an interesting game that gives a lot of historical background on the time period. It's reminiscent of Research Indicates' Trespasser, except you get facts about 11th century monarchs and battles instead of dinosaurs.

Gameplay videos have some really nicely done history lessons about the locations Ezio visits or climbs and these are supplemented by longer explorations of some topics related to stuff in the game or characters or background. Add to this that Geop does really well considering the controls of the AC games have a few issues. I watched through the entire thing even though I had played the game back when it came out because of those factors.

Hey so if you haven't been watching Skoolmunkee's LP of The Cave, you should be. It's sort of a Lost Vikings-esque puzzle game made by Double Fine that is weirdly enough, a somewhat dark morality play. The videos are short, so you don't have to dedicate much time to watching one and the commentary is fun without being intrusive.

If you like edutainment, Bobbin Threadbare's Deus Ex LP just got off the ground and is looking good, as well as Skippy Granola's Sang Froid LP which is chugging along nicely. The angle on these is that they concatenate a related video essay about at the end of the video (topics related themes in Deus Ex, or Canadian history for Sang Froid). I recomend them for anyone who's been missing their edutainment fix since Suspicious finished up TR2.

And seconding Bobbin's LP. I'm following it myself and it's pretty rad so far.

After several days I've finally caught up to Vorgen's Baldur's Gate Trilogy: Big World Project Thread and it's certainly a good read. Big World Project is basically the largest mod pack ever made, combining three already sizable classic games(BG1, BG2, and BG2:ToB) into one giant adventure, along with piling over 1000(!) mods on top of it. The mods of course range in quality and Vorgen does an excellent job showing off as many of the mods as he can while also doing an excellent job showing off the base game at once, although he does use a narrative that might not be your cup of tea. I personally find it works well for the LP, due to the nature of the beast. I personally suggest skimming through the thread so you can see why choices were made, along with reactions to some of the more "what the gently caress...?" decisions mod makers made to the games. Only real "warning" though, despite the size of the lp so far, he's still on the first game, but that looks to be changing real soon. If you got the time, give it a read! All this time and still being on the first game, he's only merely scratched the surface to the horrors of what's to come, "when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you” indeed.

If you aren't watching cKnoor's Don't Starve LP, you are literally the shittiest person on earth. He has a great style, and doing the narrative thing via video works out really well. It's breaking new ground and it's amazing. Also, the best LP on the forums currently. He just wrapped up Wilson, so now we can vote on a new Character.

A few people have asked in one of these stickied threads about Kung-Fu Jesus' Shadow Complex LP. The videos had always been on his site, Discoshiny, until it went under, and nowhere else. But now he's put the LP on YouTube, so if you liked the LP (and it was pretty good), now you can watch it again!

It's unfortunate that Hitman: Contracts doesn't have a coherent storyline, because Iron Chitlin and co.'s LP of it is hilarious, and I'm pretty sure that's the only thing holding the thread back from being more active. You should take a look. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3592515

Anyone that hasn't checked out or kept up with Picayune's MySims Agents thread, it just wrapped up about a week and a half ago. Surprisingly well written, I'd recommend it to anyone even if they didn't like The Sims.

Also chiming in to suggest checking out the Frolfing. Click that, look at the OP, click the things in the OP. I'm assuming you've stopped reading this because you're now watching the LP instead.

There's a Paradox megacampaign starring Byzantium by Rincewind that is shaping up to be pretty great. These campaigns live and die by the writing, and Rincewind is doing a bang-up job with alternate history, diverging from the time of the Alexiad.

Personally I like Izzy's videos since he is generally really enthusiastic about what he's doing, and shows off a lot of the different locations. It's mostly combat, so the even larger chunk of UO (ie crafting, housing etc) isn't shown and he uses a setup that isn't great for the UO of today so theres a fair amount of deaths but it's still a pretty chill look at the game IMO.

From what I remember, Deceased Crab's La Mulana LP wasn't bad, and it was before the big drama blowup thing. I didn't watch all of it, because I planned on playing through it one day (which I'm doing right now, thanks to the La Mulana 2 Kickstarter!. This game's hard.)

Speedball is doing a narrative SSLP of Civilization V with a Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker mod, and it is glorious. He's doing a great job showing off a legitimately interesting mod civilization, and his writing and plot so far is just maximum Kojima.

It is hard, however everything follows a set pattern; it's designed to be speedrun. So you could just play it enough times to memorise everything that happens (or, at least, how every type of enemy behaves).

It's not on the site and you need to pay, but Giantbomb (https://www.giantbomb.com) has done a great Volgarr the Viking run with Brad. It's Premium though so if you're coming here to you'd probably already know of it.
