As a request what is Retsupraes best stuff? Some of it is lame but there are some good things as well

The stuff by Navigtr called "Gaming in the Clinton Years" always gives me a good laugh.

Go watch it then, it's called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and you can watch it on Crunchyroll. It's good.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
This might be an odd request, but does anyone know a good let's play of Alien Isolation?

You might get better recommendations if you say which of their videos you've previously enjoyed, because then people could point out others like them.

Oh right doi, I didn't enjoy the Retsufrash's after awhile because they kept making fun of the lovely art and animations, but they did one on Jason and one on some sort of Stephen King thing? and when they really started tearng it apart past the aesthetics it was great.

I've loved the Longplays I've seen, I'm going to watch the Last Alert one right now though, since I hadn't seen it.

Darkseed 2 is absolutely essential viewing, and King's Quest V and Shadow of Destiny are also really good. I'd avoid Noir and Cobra 3D, just because those games are so dull that there's really not much they can do to make them entertaining.

It's not exactly Retsupurae but I really enjoyed the VLP of Snatcher that they did. Really, any longplay where Diabeetus goes in blind is great.

Fair warning about their Darkseed 2 videos-- if you're watching them and you find yourself uninterested because the game is a horrible, repetitive, boring slog, that's because it is. It all pays off though so stick with it.

I dunno, I think the charm of the Darkseed 2 long-play is that it FEELS like how Mike Dawson would've handled things. Going in circles, making no progress, and brute forcing his way through puzzles.

Agreeing with this. Plus the constant stream of absolutely nothing happening makes the one scene where something happens near the end even more satisfying‎

Uh. Anyone ever seen a good LP in Spanish? Youtube is obviously not helpful. For some reason when I search by rating it gives me least watched LPs (maybe because those haven't managed to accumulate enough downvotes yet). I found one non-obnoxious LP of Skyrim, but the sound quality and especially the clarity of speech leaves a lot to be desired (which is important for a learner like me), while good quality LPs almost always have a facecam, and are always blind. I appreciate the anti-facecam argument much more now, though. It's not about a person's face, but what it does, and a non-professional will always scratch, twitch, stretch, which is really distracting and not that pleasant to watch. I'm guessing all that applies to English-language LPs too.

I have recently watched Valiant Hearts by Beam. I cannot vouch for the quality of the commentary because I'm very bad at the language, but he edits, has no facecam, not too many ads, and doesn't ramble so far as I've noticed... By "subject you're interested in" you probably mean "Let's plays". I just got a little confused - "a subject which is...?" :downs:

Does it get better? Because he has spent 5 minutes fighting 3 moles in chapter 2.

EDIT: Not wanting to sound like a jerk. It is a blind LP of Dark Souls, without much editing, and that doesn't seem very engaging.

Anything for a spooky game(s), pref with GHOSTS, minimal to no jumpscares and very relaxed commentary? I love a creepy, but also kinda relaxed/interesting ghost atmosphere before bed.

I've watched a lot of the on site VLPs of those games where you battled ghosts with a camera and i'll go finish those if you guys don't have other suggestions.

Those are Niggurath's Fatal Frame LPs. They're good. However, the games get more jump scares in them the further you go into the series (with 4 reaching levels of ridiculousness).

Check out his Kuon LP if you want more ghost survival horror stuff. From what I recall, there weren't too many jump scares in that. And Niggurath's commentary is always very relaxed.

Thanks, in the end i just went back to Fatal Frame, it was difficult to find anything that scratched the itch the same way. Plus I've routinely fallen asleep to like every second video so i can't remember how it went.
