Are there any good knowledgeable LPs of Divinity: Original Sin (enhanced edition preferred) anywhere on the internet? I just wanna see someone who knows what they are doing play the game, the more they know about decisions, and the game in general, the better.

So are there any funny smallish groups of people doing let’s plays anymore? Seems like everything’s moving to streaming and I prefer throwing a funny group LP on as background noise while I’m working.

Thanks for this, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. ...You, uh, might want to revisit the tech behind your stream, though, because it's murdering your video.

Fedule posted:Thanks for this, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Oh christ yes, a week or two after the final stream, I dug into the settings and realized I was only streaming at 1mbps, which meant Celeste and all its gorgeous little particle effects just strangled the hell out of the video quality. Shifted those settings up quite a bit and it's been a lot smoother sailing since. And hey, glad you're enjoying it! I'd been curious about it for a while and my girlfriend got me a download code for my birthday back in the spring, so I thought "what the hell" and fell in love. I'm still pretty new to streaming (we're normally a group LP channel) but I think Celeste has been my favorite streamed game so far.

Also Smight streams mostly, but he's got a rotating cast of returning characters so it kinda feels like a group sometimes.

They mostly do Nintendo stuff, and they might occasionally be a bit loud, but they generally know what they're doing. Generally.

I find the Game Grumps the most enjoyable when there's a 'Best of [x gimmick]' video highlight to watch, because they're game efforts haven't been too inspiring in my experience.

Newer game grumps is better than older game grumps. They have been actually trying to be less lovely with some of their humor, which is a welcome change. If you want something to put on in the background, I recommend SleepyCycles on youtube. He's an extremely Scottish, highly charming dude that plays a lot of roguelike type games.

The Game Grumps do fantastic bits but the below average skill and 10 minute videos are too many downsides for me personally. Plan Z posted:Not huge on the Game Grumps, but I loved when they did that video where they looked up the NES Mickey Mouse game on Youtube before playing it. The first video they saw was a bad AVGN ripoff. Erin then spent the rest of the video talking like one of those guys.

Disappointing Pie posted:Hey these guys aren’t too bad! I was iffy on them when it was Arin and Jon (Sonic is the only one I really remember), but I loved them ever since Dan came on board. He's way less grating and far more pleasant. I've just never been a JonTron fan. As others have said though, they are more comedians than Let's Players, especially now that Youtube has made full game playthroughs not worth it for them. I'm perfectly fine with that myself. I don't watch or read LP's to see someone masterfully play a game for me, I prefer to be entertained. My favourite SSLP's and favourite Let's Players are more funny than skillful. That's personal preference though. The compiliation videos also make for great background noise while I work on LP updates. MillennialVulcan posted:They tend to provoke a wide range of opinions.

SleepCycles comin' in big havin' a swatch. Is there a good Axiom Verge LP? I want informative with 100% completion, going into the story and all the usual jazz. I remember watching an LP years ago with two commentators and one of them sounded a bit like JordanKai.

I'd like a video LP of any Star Trek adventure or adventure-adjacent video game, accompanied by a mild, pleasant voice, for use as a/v wallpaper while I'm working. I've had Star Trek 25th Anniversary on my list for a while and I am just never gonna get to it, but any of the franchise's slower, non-shooty, non-simmy, non-MMO games will do.

I'm in the mood to see either a clever, thoughtful person puzzle out a tricky game blind, or a knowledgeable person working around and explaining all the gotchas in an unfair game. Or, I guess, someone playing a totally unfair game blind and triumphing through sheer force of will.

Princey posted:I'm in the mood to see either a clever, thoughtful person puzzle out a tricky game blind, or a knowledgeable person working around and explaining all the gotchas in an unfair game. If you haven't read Gabriel Pope's FF2 LP, IMO it falls into the latter category. From the lead-in: "It has a whole. lot. of wacky mechanics that can be broken, exploited, and abused to no end. This has contributed to something of a bad rap for the game--it's actually got a pretty decent gameplay curve compared to other early JRPGs, but that tends to get lost in the confusion over what the hell is happening with your characters' advancement...I am basically a lazy person. While it's possible to powerlevel the hell out of your characters and have a party of walking gods armed with shiny magic weapons and armor and high-end spells before setting foot in the first dungeon, this takes time and effort. I like to exploit mechanics so that I have to do less work, not more--a lot of the most popularized exploits in this game are inefficient, unnecessary, or even counterproductive. I'll still be pointing them all out and using them if necessary, but for the most part when it comes to actually playing I'll mostly just be goofing around, slacking off, and using the mechanics to coast along rather than spending time over-leveling my party for what is really a fairly easy game."

I'm looking for a specific screenshot LP where the author kept track of the game's various dick moves. I know it's on the archive, but there are a lot of LPs on the archive. It's not Xenogears. This is kind of a longshot, but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.

It's a broad request, but the White Knight Chronicles LP by moi was one long catalogue of all the ways that game screwed the pooch while falling down the stairs into a rusty flaming woodchipper. There's also Lunar: Dragon Song by Camel Pimp that did much the same thing. Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head not done by Id.

Maybe this will help. 557 updates that use the phrase "dick move". I wonder how many total updates there are on the archive... Mega64 fucked around with this message at 12:51 on Dec 22, 2018 |

Thanks for trying, y'all. I don't believe it was any of those, though. I went through Mega64's google search link and couldn't find it there either, making me think it may not actually exist.  All I remember is the author wrote "This is Dick Move #1" and then a few updates later "This is Dick Move #2" and then toward the end they broke from the numbering convention to say "This is such a huge Dick Move by the game that we have to call this Dick Move Omega" or something to that effect.

Do you have any more info about anything, such as the content of the game or what the dick moves entailed?

I could have swore that this question was answered here recently already, but I can't find the post. I recently got the KH remaster game on PS4, but honestly I won't have the time to replay it all before the third game is out. Does anyone know a particularly good LP for recapping it all?
