Second time I've brought her up recently, but AccountingNightmare has done LPs here in the past and still streams pretty often. I'm really hoping with the release of the new DMC that she does another LP. I guess only time will tell.

Seconding this. I remember enjoying her DMC1 and DMC3 LPs, though they're pretty old now and it's possible the video quality isn't great by modern standards.

I like KatherineOfSky's Factorio videos whenever I needs to update myself on what's going on in that game, she's very soothingly OCD and very good at building giant complex monster factories. As there's just been a new patch she's got a new unmodded vanilla series just starting up for it.

You really have to like nerdy building and logistics games to enjoy her channel though, and the games she plays are slow enough that they're probably best watched mainly by listening in the background with the occasional glance.

She's been streaming the series under various challenge conditions on her Youtube channel, so even if they're not as indepth as her original LPs, they're definitely as fun.

drat, forgot about Accounting Nightmare since she hasn't posted here in so long, but she used to be my favorite. Gotta add in Yosheque for doing similarly masterful LPs of the Bayonetta series.

Also Devious Vacuum only did one LP but she's wonderful.

Genocyber hasn't posted in LP for a while, but I still go back occasionally to watch what she did for Bloodborne and Salt & Sanctuary. She also got me into Sundered, despite that game having notable flaws like how it did air combat.

It's International Women's Day, so I'm gonna bring up a few more women of LP. Genghis and Shaw don't post here, but they're both hilarious Canadian artists who love adventure games and have covered a ton of them.

Also Pete and Amy are a very funny married LP duo, Amy did the editing and I've stolen some of her methods because they were really good. Like almost everyone listed so far, they're on extended LP hiatus, but there's plenty of back catalogue.

If own-horn-tooting is allowed, my friend and I have done a whole bunch of puzzle games with this concept, like Fez, Braid, Portal 2, The Talos Principle (although unfinished), and our current run of Return of the Obra Dinn.

e: also you probably have already seen these because they're Internet Ancient™, but Slowbeef's old Metroid Prime LPs are fantastic examples of this type that are definitely closer to what Geop does than our stuff.

The only one I'm aware of is by Egomaniac, who also did his own translation for it. Original links are dead, but it's on the Internet Archive.

Siren 2 did receive an English release, but only in Europe for some reason. Given how easy emulation is these days, I'm genuinely surprised no one's tried tackling it since. Makes more sense than translating the game from scratch, at least.

Sadly it's a fairly buggy game in PCSX2 and it's not a game where you want to be hampered by semi-constant jankiness in an emulator.

Egomaniac
Mar 23, 2006

Yeah, the emulator leaves huge black lines on the screen and it's not a popular enough game/series that it's likely to get much attention on fixing that. Plus, with Pierre Taki's (Major Misawa's) arrest the other day the odds of it ever getting an HD digital release like the first game just plummeted to about .00001%.

Really, there isn't that much text and dialogue so translating wasn't a huge chore. Not like, say, a 40-hour RPG and all its sidequests... :cripes:

From what I understand, it's not difficult to get a PAL console running on an NTSC TV nowadays. It certainly isn't difficult the other way around, and modern TVs generally support both 50 and 60Hz regardless of region (and so do capture devices) so all you need is something to convert the power.

Etho's still around, although he's a bit burned out on vanilla for now. Probably better to start from something like episode 500 for the latest world tour video, or 507 for the start of the 1.13 content. Or just watch 412 videos starting from 2011 when he created his current world.

He's good for falling asleep to, which isn't a criticism.

As far as I can tell his hill was more "Gamers are entitled whiners if they don't appreciate literally all games." It just came to a head with MN9 because he apparently really likes it, and most people really don't. The other games he LPed were mostly relatively niche titles, from what I remember, not high profile flops.

They have a lot of pretty heavy real life things on their plate at the moment. This came from a place of anger and GASN did regret saying it. The forums were an additional stressor that GASN did not want or need at this time so they asked me to ban their account. If they want back when things are better, I told them to contact me for a ban reversal. In the meantime, I hope they take care of themselves.

This guy started one with promise, but it didn't go anywhere. Pester him and maybe he'll pick it back up?!

For me, it was worth just the few existing videos to see how the game looks in motion - maybe that's all you want?

Rasen Bran did a good playthrough (as good as you can for a game like Drakengard, at least). Cuts out all the meandering and covers some of the stuff that was left on the cutting room floor. Shame about that other one though, I was really enjoying it.

The LPs by Chip and Ironicus are considered the definitive MGS LPs, but I also want to give a shoutout to the MGS3 LP by ChaosArgate and Jobbo Fett which is excellent in its own right.

I would also recommend checking out RJWaters2's LP of MGS as it is also very funny and goes into a lot of detail. It even features Codec conversations in real time which is both an interesting and very nice touch. (Also be sure to check out both versions of each update as they are basically two different playthroughs with Non-codec being the expert run and Codec the highly detailed but goofy run.) The only problem with it is that updates come at irregular intervals, but that's mostly due the sheer amount of work RJ puts into each update and real life stuff. Like for real, this LP deserves a lot more love than it's currently getting.
