Maybe instead of watching something ongoing, you could watch something

Also, I suppose that third person shooters would be okay as well, because I am cracking up over RChimpCola's LP of Resident Evil 5. For third person shooters, Slowbeef and Diabetus on Dead to Rights and Dead to Rights: Retribution are pretty funny.

I've not seen one the Archive or live on the forums but there has to be a good LP of Krusty's Super Fun House. I remember loving that game as a kid and want to see; 1) If I was just stupid and it's actually bad, 2) It played to completion. I don't recall ever doing so myself and now I want an internet person to do it for me. EDIT poo poo, this isn't the request thread. Sorry!

RoadCrewWorker posted:It's really easy for "critical" people to fall into the "being bitter and angry is my thing and people love it" trap where they end up hamming it way the gently caress up and shriek at the most minor things for minutes completely invalidating their previous thoughtful complaints, which is usually where i turn it off and never come back even if i generally agree with them. They're pretty self-aware about it, actually. Most of the time, if they start complaining about something, one of the commentators will point it out (or they'll notice it themselves) and they'll make sure to keep it to acceptable levels. There's no screaming rage, though they did get close with Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.

Their style is quite different from the AVGN approach to criticism. When they really dig into a game's shortcoming, it's closer to solemn and eloquently expressed disappointment than to exaggerated rage.

Anybody know a good mass effect 3 LP. I bought the game ages ago but the continued simplification/compartmentalization of the game rendered it unplayable for me, however I still would like to find out what happens. Somehow I managed to avoid almost all spoilers

If you hang out at a hackerspace like the sort in hackerspaces.org you'll pick up all sorts of interesting and useful skills like that. The one I'm a member of, any joe can pop in and learn:
And pretty much every cross-polination of these disciplines you could think of. I think someone's pushing for a loom recently, too. No idea where we're gonna put the loving thing.

Somehow I managed to avoid almost all spoilers ? It's more complex than mass effect 2. Granted it's not like mass effect 1 where there were like a million versions of every weapon that you could barely tell the difference between, but it's not like a corridor shooter, i.e. Completely dumbed down and simplified. Just play the game. You sound like some guys i know who won't play anything past 2000 because it's "console popamole trash."

Yeah, the real reason to not play Mass Effect 3 is because you're salty as hell about the places the story went, not the mechanics. The mechanics are rock goddamn solid and fun in the extreme. The story, however, has kept giant baby me from playing it much past the dumb as gently caress stuff that happens in the first few hours.

So I want to throw a recommendation out for Lost Kingdoms a game made by goon favorite studio From Software before they did all those Souls games. PAMaster is doing a really solid job showing off all the content of this really obscure Gamecube game from 2002. He does multiple runs of each level, splicing together the most interesting bits, and shows off all the games secrets and hidden crap. Also, the Poxnora LP is also pretty cool and shows off a fairly neat game that would cost waaaay too much money to actually play seriously.

Or get your degree. You can major in Business Management or Accounting. I don't remember if it's been mentioned recently, but ChorpSaway's LP of Hatoful Boyfriend is nearing the finale, so if you want to get in on the fun and speculate on what's coming up before it's all there for everyone to see, now's the time. Yes, it's the dating sim game where all the partners are birds, and yes, it spent some time in another subforum gathering some less than tasteful posts, but if you give it a chance, you'll be surprised. Even now that you know there's a surprise coming. I'm not even entirely sold on the game, and I'm still hooked, in case you're worried about the inherent silliness putting you off.

The Amnesia: The Dark Descent LP by Cyanide Sandwich on the LP archive has subtitles. I remember it being good enough to watch all of even though it made me motion sick. You'll need to click on the Internet archive banner to watch it, it looks like both mirrors are dead. There was a test post of Machine of Pigs, but I never saw the thread.

Likely because aMfP is an above average game but a terrible amnesia sequel made by a completely different developer. Interest was justifiably low.

I wanted to plug BestFriend SKULL's LP of Risk of Rain that he's doing right now. He's very informative, and genuinely interesting. Plus the way he lovingly goes over what he likes aout the game makes it super fun to listen to.

I like to listen to LPs without really watching them when I'm gaming myself. I need voiced video LPs that are ridiculously long so I don't have to constantly hunt for the next one to watch. RPGs would be the best, since they tend to be the longest, but I'm open to anything that is long and at least partially informative so it's not just listening to a bunch of people talk for 40 hours.

Spoiler Warning. Their videos run the gamut from 20 minutes to over an hour, and they talk about good game design, bad game design, and what drags the games they play down and brings them up. And sometimes they just shoot the poo poo for a bit when there's nothing worth talking about game-wise, but they have a pretty drat great dynamic with each other so even that's entertaining.

I'm confused about who you're talking about here. Or do you mean all the long video LPs on SA in general? Right now I discovered the Endless Ocean series and that seems pretty good for a start, but after I get caught up on that I'm gonna want more 30-40 part ridiculously long series to check out. Edit: OH the name of the people is Spoiler Warning. Okay. I thought you were actually warning me that you were going to spoil something about an LP I was going to watch or something. Sorry.

I'll add that to my watch list after Endless Ocean. I usually don't like watching LPs of games I already played, but all I remember about 13-2 is that I looked up a guide on how to get the most broken monsters and then steamrolled through it fast enough that I had forgotten it by the next day. I hope they explore it a little more than I did.

I don't know if it matches your request, but i've enjoyed mynameisnotlilly's stuff on a second screen for a some time. He has the perfect voice for it and plays through incredibly long RPGs at a fairly thoughtful pace. He uses a bit of character definition to keep it from just running down the questlog as a milktoast paragon, but it's not overbearing - i say that as someone who really can't stand "in-character" or roleplay playthroughs - and shows some paths that i personally would never see so that's interesting. He has a heavily edited showing of Wasteland, but if it's "ridiculous long" you need he's got you covered, with "shorter" Fallout 1 (147 parts) and 2 (153 parts) playlists and a 751 video Baldurs Gate 1 and a 844 video Baldurs Gate 2 playthrough. To be fair they're 10-15 minute segments because that's what youtube was back then. Needless to say i haven't made it through those but from what i've seen he's fairly consistent in style and pacing, so if you like his thing you're probably set for a while. I don't know enough about these games to know if he plays terrible and triggers backseat gaming OCD rage, but he does occasionally pick sub-optimal choices intentionally to fit the narrative so that's not the focus anyway.

I must STRONGLY advise against any of his videos beyond Wasteland. He plays blind and is extremely incompetent. It took him like an hour to get out of the starting cave of Fallout 1 (the one where you just need to run past a couple of rats).

Bobbin Threadbare's Thief lps are pretty good for that, since he's covered all three games. There's also his ongoing Deus Ex lp which is super informative.

Like RoadCrewWorker I'm not familiar with these games myself so his fumblings are exactly what I'd be going through if I was playing it so there's actually a kind of camaraderie. However, I will put them off until after I get through Endless Ocean and 13-2. Thanks guys for all the suggestions, the Thief series looks great as well. This should be enough to keep me going for a few months.

I hope they explore it a little more than I did. They didn't actually play theough all of XIII-2 (They did get all the way through the first one). The Posse (KFJ, Pokecapn, Medibot and the like) did do a complete playthrough of XIII-2. And by complete, I mean that. They used an FAQ to get every ending, basically complete the bestiary and did all of the DLCs. As it is with the Posse's usual LP's, though, it's not exactly informative. They actually do pay attention to the game, and talk primarily about it (as far as I remember at least), but it is a bunch of buds hanging out playing games so they do go on tangents and poo poo pretty often.
