I've been a huge fan of FiddlersThree Jagged Alliance 2 LP featuring the cast of Burn Notice, and unlikely as it is to be finished now, if there was any other military themed LP's that featured the same sort of get up. I read through the 7.62mm stories on the archive already.

perochialjoe's Dishonored LP just finished the main game. It's a first person narrative speed run LP. Somehow it's not an unbearable trainwreck like you'd think with that description, but instead absurd and hilarious and you should watch it.

Speaking of, how are his STALKER LP's? I really wanted to get into the series, but after a few restarts I'm ready to call it quits and just watch someone play them.

Any other recommendations on STALKER LP's would be appreciated as well.

Perochialjoe's STALKER LPs are great. I've watched all of them and that's what got me into the series. :v: Those games become way more accessible when you've seen what you're supposed to do at all times/where's useful hidden stuff.

Also, I just tried to watch The Man with the Hat's Dead Space LP and all the links are dead :(

Just finished watching CannibalK9's incredible LP of The Void (or Tension, as it was known in Russia). Wow. Truly amazing experience.

The game is beautiful, strange, eerie, and wildly imaginative, and CK9 handles it all with the grace and love that it deserves. My only regret is that it had to end. I know it's one of the recommended LPs at the start of this thread, but honestly, the write-up there doesn't do it justice.

I still hope that he'll do an LP of Cargo or Knock Knock some day.

I want to watch this one so bad but the sound on the videos doesnt work :(

Has anyone seen a decent youtube LP of D4 yet? (The SWERY game that just came out a few days ago.) Pretty sure I will never get an Xbox One and the Giant Bomb Quicklook really made me want to see more. The game had me at strangling a guy with an oxygen mask on a plane. :allears:

Something called DSP gaming has done it, but the guy is immediately kinda shouty and annoying.

SGF is doing it right now. Hes the only one that could do it after the D4 and spy fiction LPs.

I've been looking to play Endless Legend, but I am generally incredibly bad at 4Xes. The only LP I've seen of it is by the Yogscast, who are probably more having fun with it than actually being any good.

Anyone know of any good on or offsite LPs of the game, especially with an ear toward novice advice?

I don't know about novice advice, per se, but Get Daved did a runthrough. His stuff is pretty relaxed and he's a veteran of Endless Space, so I found it enjoyable.

If you like other stuff he's done I'd also recommend checking out some of the game nights on his channel too. He plays some really off the wall stuff. My current favorite is Laser Lords. They are streams though and not true organized LPs, but he's generally good about keeping a couple of games going throughout.

There was a recent, more informative LP of the same game by GamesAreSupernice which does a great job dissecting its surprisingly bold design, especially for the time.

Dec 20, 2011
Well, there's the ones on the LP Archive that are basically hybrid LPs. Persona 2 and 3 by Schildkrote, but these seem to have lost their videos due to being on Googlevideo. There's Persona 3 Portable (female route) and 4 by Feinne. There's also P4 the Golden but that's screenshots only. Note that all of these are narrative LPs.
If you're in the mood for stupidly long youtube video playthroughs, I'm currently halfway through this one and enjoying it. It's 180+ videos of P3 FES with all social links maxed, and it isn't loud or too annoying but that could just be me. I think he also did P4 at some point.
I don't think anyone's really attempted P1 because of how annoying it actually is to play.

If you have a high tolerance for people loving around in a game and making dumb mistakes as they play it blind, the Giant Bomb endurance run of P4 is pretty fun. Also REALLY long.

Gotta recommend Fleve's Revenant LP. It's a very charming action RPG about an undead rear end in a top hat being forced to save a kingdom and not liking it in the slightest. It's surprisingly elaborate and well done for such an obscure title and the commentary is pretty drat great.

Aw-shucks, thanks :shobon:

The first two episodes were still recorded without a pop filter, from part 3 that's fixed. I think I've got one, perhaps two more parts and one bonus to go, and then we're done. The game really turned out to be way better LP material than I expected.

He was a goon. Dunno if he still is. But he doesn't do his LPs here anymore, probably because a component of his style tended to be quietly abandoning LPs midway through. Homefront's one of the few of his I've seen that he actually finished.

Binge watching FaerieFortune's blind Ocarina of Time LP served me well when I had a stomach bug a few weeks ago. It has pretty much the same dynamic as Dark Souls (a blind player with experienced copilots), coupled with some wonderfully enthusiastic friendship. If you hate friendship you will not like the thread.

If you've played OoT before, it's also nice because you can zone out a bit and listen without paying full attention to the visuals, since you probably know all the dungeons by heart. I find this is an important quality for things I watch when I'm sick.
