Any recommendations for 'informative' and completionist video LP's of Metroidvanias? Smite/Smight's LP of Environmental Station Alpha is a great example of the kind of thing I'm after.

This is a really good one of Salt and Sanctuary: Playlist

I might be insane, but I could have sworn that, some time ago, there was a Goon LP, screenshot I believe, of Emperor of the Fading Suns.
I checked the LP Masterlist and found nothing.

Am I crazy, or does such a thing exist?

I remember it as well and it is actually in the master list. It's not visible by default since its status is abandoned, and the screenshots were on long-dead waffleimages so it's pretty much unreadable.

can someone recommend me a good recent LP of a horror game? I'm in the mood for something spooky but I am a huge baby who needs other people to play them for me. Subtitles or chilled out commentary preferred!

Did you find a good LP on your own? I'm guessing no from this post. I've been holding out for a good one of Prey as well.

Naw, haven't been able to find one yet. I found one where the guy wasn't screaming, but he also blew through the cutscenes and talked over them so I had no idea what was going on.

Also Inside was really good.

I can't link it now, but there is a Ratchet and Clank VLP done by two of the original gamedevs .

I've heard that programmers and voice actors stream their own games on twitch sometimes?

We Know the Devil is a little less horror and more...personal horror, but it's really good.

Blackstone Chronicles isn't a screenshot LP but it is the scariest LP on the archive thanks to its highly disturbing subject matter.

Thanks for the cool suggestions. I hadn't seen any of these before! I started reading OFF, and it's definitely different. It starts off almost cute, but the creepiness has started to set in. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

The big one that comes to mind immediately is Kyle McCarley's stream playthrough of NieR Automata. For those who don't know, he's 9S, one of the lead characters of that game. Phone posting, so I don't have a link on hand, but you should be able to google his Youtube channel easily enough.

He's also done some streams of Fire Emblem: Echoes, a game in which he plays the main character Alm.

The latter part sounds like more of a sandcastle thing. I can't think of any solo blind VLPs on the forums (And I'm sure nobody's done a fully blind one, there may be a few semi-blind LPs) but they ought to be played the same as a non-blind one, just with more bumbling. Perhaps SGFs various 'bumbling around' series such as RE7 and The Witness?

There's dscruffy1's VLP of The Evil Within with DLC: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3729340

It's fully blind and solo but not -super- bumbly. And it's a pretty good way to watch a game that's full of surprises and fakeouts and weird sudden shifts.

You might want to check the casual LP thread, blind LPs are usually considered low-effort.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon by Your Evil Twin, it's blind but the videos are heavily edited, it's really good. Not recommended if you hate fun or the 80's.

Any recommendations for the Sherlock Holmes games that came before Crimes and Punishments? From what I've seen they are very much not worth playing so LP would be the preferable medium. Don't mind bumbling, do mind facecams and screaming.

I'm pretty sure HarshlyCritical did an alright LP of it, though I think it might be worth waiting since they're also releasing story DLC that seems to double the length of the game or something.

I want to watch a low-res monochrome screen while people talk about the game. Are there any particularly good and interesting original gameboy vlps, not of puzzle games?

I know the 25 years of Final Fantasy thread has a couple of GB LPs that are both interesting and good to fall asleep to, and I've seen a decent Metroid II, but does anything else stand out as cool?

Simply Simon's Megaman LPs are really good! He knows the games well and talks about their design and evolution throughout the series. The ones with Roman numerals and Wily's Revenge are the GB games.

Chugga is not funny at all most of the time and is in fact a little infuriating, but his sheer amount of enthusiasm is endearing as heck. His Xenoblade LP might be his best.
