Speaking of the casual thread, have there been any Metro: Last Light LPs?
I was considering making a "baby's first LP" of sorts of it for the casual thread; I checked the master list but couldn't find anything.

Yeah

No reason you can't do one though. We've got three Dark Souls LPs- one archived and one finished- three LPs of Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition and one of which is archived.

So go ahead and do a Metro LP if you wanna.

edit: Thought that just said Metro LPs in general and not Last Light specifically.

Can anyone suggest a LP that I can just leave on in the background while I'm doing other things? I just finished watching Geop's Dark Souls LP, and have already watched most of the other usual recommendations already.

Maybe Beaglerush's XCOM (Long War) - Live and Impossible series? There's a hell of a lot of it, and he talks through all his strategy as he goes. I use it for background noise a lot and then drop back in to paying attention at random times.

Ok, here's a rather specific one:

Is there something a la Beaglerush, but for Darkest Dungeon or any 4X games?
Something aimed at getting better at a game, with someone who's really good at the game and explains the thought process behind his decisions rather than just playing the game and recording it.

Been enjoying this Endless Legend LP that just started recently. Kind of want more. Wondering if there are any other similarly informative/skillful LPs of the same game on this forum or elsewhere. Screenshot or video, don't care.

As far as SA goes, I think it's pretty much just limited to this abandoned one and Speedball's current lp. Dunno about other forums.

Anyone aware of any good playthroughs of the FMV Tex Murphy games?
(Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive, Overseer, Tesla Effect)
I've always found them fascinating but could never really get into them myself.

Everything I've found online either tends to be terrible quality and/or just rushes through puzzles. So I'm kinda looking for something a bit more involved that shows off the gags and logic behind the puzzles.

Not sure if it counts as an LP, but I've been going through this longplay of Starcraft 64. It goes well with music to.

So far as I can tell, Beagle is one-of-a-kind. Though you might want to give Aavak a try. He's pleasant to listen to and tackles a lot of strategy and 4x games, as well as a few roguelikes. I haven't seen him grandmaster any particular game, but he plays strategy with a universally high level of skill even on the few occasions he goes in blind.

I actually had Aavak on my subscriptions; I think I added him a while ago while looking for Dankest Dungeon videos but completely forgot he does other stuff as well. Thanks for the reminder.

If you aren't watching slowbeef's Wifestreams already, please, for the love of whatever deity you worship, do so. They get uploaded to youtube, too. Definitely check out their playthrough of Catherine, a game fittingly about relationships and cheating. They have amazing banter.
slowbeef's wife hasn't really played videogames or been much on the internet before this whole streaming thing, but she sure can troll with the best of them.

Sadly, Darkest Dungeon is one of his blind runs. Now I'm on board with this, though. Anyone know of someone running DD with PRO STRATS?

Well,there is this one Twitch streamer named Billy1Kirby who streams DD pretty regularly and is pretty darn good at it. His FTL stuff's pretty cool,too.

Wow. Just checked out his YouTube channel and he really is like the Beaglerush of FTL. I started watching his Kestral A tutorial and he is operating on a different level. There's a lot of FTL I would normally chalk up to luck but, like with Beagle and XCOM, taking the game seriously enough and approaching it from the right perspective changes everything. Neat!

edit: he does not highly value the weapon pre-igniter :psyduck: But he doesn't need it. I just watched him beat all three phases of the final FTL boss on hard and only take one (1) point of damage.

edit2: warning- he hums the music of any game he's playing constantly. aargh

If you look closely, you'll notice that Uncharted 4 has been uploaded already for three weeks.

Anyway, can anyone recommend a decent Don't Starve Together thing? A stream uploaded onto youtube or an actual LP is fine.

I just looked on their youtube channel and chipandironicus.com and it wasn't on either of those.

To answer your second question, I've looked but haven't found one that I really enjoyed.

Is there a decent non-SA LP out there for Until Dawn? There's one theoretically going here but the update pace is teetering forever on the verge of archival so I'm not sanguine that it's going to get finished. I've tried the Two Best Friends Play one and...ugh. No thank you.

Achievement Hunter? They talk all over the cutscenes but it's subtitled. And they fix the audio balance after the first part.

Might do if I can't find anything better but they're blocking a substantial part of the video with a pointless facecam inset which I find super distracting. :(

Well, at least he's edited the facecam bit down to just his head. And the lower left's better than the upper right. That's something.

I figured it was just their brand of humor that rubbed them the wrong way.
Thing is I can't think of an Until Dawn LP/stream that isn't really noisy. The game really gets people talking, and since all the characters have such pronounced personalities it usually elicits some loud reactions.
Does this work?
