Foolish child of man...
After reading all this,
do you still not understand?
I'm looking for an LP of Getting Over It that doesn't get so over-the-top with the frustration/rage that it's unpleasant to watch, and also that actually finishes the game. Who's done a good one?

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
I mainly like Screenshot LPs, because I am an Old (I mean, I'm barely a millenial, I'm so old). So take my picks with that in mind.

I second the Gond LP. Short, sweet, and it knew exactly what it wanted to be. I also second TheMcD's Unterwegs in Dusterberg LP.

If you're looking for what's essentially an alternative history novel, you'll rarely go wrong with the Paradox Mega-threads. My personal favorite is probably ZerothK's Gold Rules The World LP starting in northern Germany and spreading free trade, Cthulhu, and nuclear weapons throughout the world over the course of a thousand years. Taught me to never trust a Bardewick. Paradox LPs also taught me that nothing is so certain that a bunch of goons trying to run it into the ground won't be able to break it (looking at you, Al-Andalus).

There's also a few... unique SSLPs that won't be seen elsewhere. The absolute best is Chewbots unfinished masterpiece Carmen Sandiego. Must. Die. Right up there with that is BoldFrankensteinMir's You Have 001 Goblins.

I have been gone a long time. What's the general top 10 must see LP's of all time? Have they changed much from the initial thread post?

LPs that I like but aren't in the OP (I don't think--I'm tablet posting so it's a pain to check) are:

SSLPs

Digimon World by OrangeFluffySheep

Digimon World Is a terribly and cryptically coded game--so much so that OFS had to have a friend analyse the code of the game in order to figure out how to get a Digimon he wanted--and OFS breaks it open.

Final Fantasy VIII by Cool Ghost

Cool Ghost showed a lot of people that FFVIII is a better game than it gets credit for--they just hid a lot of it in obscure scenes most people never saw.

Video LPs

Crash Bandicoot 1-3 by JordanKai and Ikwaylx

They both love the games and they're good at them (getting all the platinum relics and 100+%), so it's just a joy to watch.

Spyro 2 and Spyro 3 by Just A Friend and SinatraPod

similar to Crash above. Just A Friend also breaks the games by showing how to skip whole sections whenever possible through a number of different kinds of glitches

The Crash thread you gave here has a whole lot of dead links to a dead Youtube channel. Is there another place where those videos are?

that's... a good question. I didn't realise that they had taken the videos down, and I can't imagine why. according to the master list, it (and their other good LP of The Wrath of Cortex) were definitely on the archive at one point, so they must have asked that they be taken down. :iiam:

Winter Voices by Kingon w Bowl Cut, KGB by red mammoth and Xander77 - Two very different screenshot LPs, but both fantastic: they cover games you are never going to play, do them justice, and are a joy to read. Also, the KGB one is a bonus feelgood story where red mammoth burnt out on the LP and Xander77 stepped in to finish it, saving the day.
Aww, thanks. Perhaps not the most technically proficient screenshot LP ever, but I put a lot of love into it. :unsmith:

Speaking of Chewbot and masterpieces, Animal Crossing is finished if you want to binge something great that is completed already.

And the LPArchive recommendation thing reminded me that SynthOrange's tale of Lizzie Shinkicker in Princess Maker 2 exists and is also a must-read for anyone who likes SSLPs.

It's a really, really good LP of a game I am never going to play - my god, the story is touching and hurts in the right ways. It was beautiful to read about the heroine's journey from being traumatized to healing and finding a measure of peace and friendship.

Thank you for sharing it. :3:

Geneforge by POOL IS CLOSED - My favorite screenshot narrative LP, wherein POOL IS CLOSED writes fanfiction that's actually perfectly in line with the game's own writing and highlights all the stuff in it - and saves us the trouble of playing this intensely old-school game.

:shobon: Thanks, Strix! oh god, i wrote fanfic


Eternal Poison by Feinne is a screenshot LP of a little-known game that I think doesn't get enough love (and the LP deserves it, too). One of my favorite SSLPs on the forums -- it's to the point and doesn't faff around.

Umineko no Nako Koro Ni by ProfessorProf is a screenshot LP of a mystery VN that is insanely good but also really, really long. Need a mystery you can sink your teeth into? This one's got what you want. Read along with the thread if you want to puzzle along with all the participants. Part 2 (the answer) should be up on the LP Archive eventually, as wrapped up in December.

Disaster: Day of Crisis by discworld is all I read, feat. Panzerskank and Geop, is one of my favorite VLPs people don't mention enough. It's hilarious. So is the game, but probably not on purpose.

All LPs are at least one of a) terrible, b) fanfic, and c) mechanistic explorations of the game. :v:

I'd like to take this moment to recommend Thuryl's Might & Magic LPs, all on the archives. And while we're at it, Nakar's Ultima LPs are pretty good, though 6, Martian Dreams, and 7 are the strongest IMO.

are you looking for a full LP or just one that shows every aspect of the game? because if the latter, i can robbaz actually has a great video on his youtube channel that is basically a highlight reel of his 5-hour run of the game.

Thotmix is also currently doing a great job of a hybrid video/SSLP here on the forums of Getting Over It, but he hasn't completed it yet so it fails your actually finishes criteria.

Hi, was planning to do an informative/"completionist" LP of this already. Was gonna post it this weekend. My credentials are that I've beaten this game 27 times by last count, with an average of 2-3 more clears every day as I practice more.

In terms of completed playthroughs right now, this "walkthrough" on youtube is talky enough that it's like a LP, finishes in an hour or so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXh5y-HhXkM

You may be thinking of the one by Instant Grat which to my dismay got abandonded because I loved that game as a kid.

I'm not sure either. It looks like he made them all private for some reason. His Kirby 64 videos can still be dled from the lp archive, and you can still watch his Epic Yarn lp in full there as well, plus parts of his Dream Land 3 lp that he put on Dailymotion.

Also on a side note I will work hard to make a Kirby LP as I have been wanting to for a while now and this post has given me inspiration.

Of course, alternatively, you can watch some LPs from ricdesi & friends mega-LP project where they LP All The Kirby Games. I find them mostly entertaining, although currently they're at Smash Melee which is not a Real Kirby game.

Make it slightly oversized (but not huge) bold text instead, not even an image, just words on the page, and people won't filter it out automatically. They may still overlook it, but stick a link in there with blue underlined words and they'll see something.
