When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.
Chip and Ironicus are two of the best LPers (and also Voidburger) and I say that without a trace of hyperbole.

Edit: ^^^ I seem to recall that.

I just rewatched the 50 Cent LP a couple weeks ago on a whim and yeah, it holds up. The only stuff of Chip's that doesn't is the really old stuff when he was trying to be budget Retsupurae.

Also thankfully all of their Anime Theatre episodes were rescued on Internet Archive which is good because their Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned riff is modern high art.

Not gonna lie I still love the Pacman retsuprae where the LPer not just sucks at a mediocre platformer, but then takes a phonecall mid-recording and leaves the entire thing in.

I understand why guys like them and Retsupurae would rather not be associated with that kinda humor anymore especially with how vile and toxic the internet gaming community is and all, but man there truly were some absolute gems

The biggest problem with Retsupurae is that it was just them making the same jokes over and over again about the low production quality of LPs.

I think The F Plus is about as big/popular as any internet thing with an element of "point out some craziness" can get before even the most good-natured of point-and-gawk gets amplified in the audience's echo chamber and turns into something ugly. At that point you then have to decide if you're going to just focus on deserving targets (like actual scumbags/nazis/con artists/etc) and be as thorough as possible to make sure that you are getting everything right, or move on to something different. Given how much work HBomb has to do now with his "A Measured Response" videos to avoid any potential lawsuits, moving on is often a smarter choice. (Plus, most of the time people are just wanting to create something fun and not launch a moral crusade.)

Retsupurae's best stuff was definitely later, when the were looking at Kickstarter videos and the zany designs of Dahir Insaat.

Bowser's Evil Test and anything with BillyMC were highlights of Retsupurae for me. Their longplay riffs were good too, Deep Fear, the Alone in the Dark games are entertaining.

yea the f-plus and extra credit podcasts are very good about focusing on 'this is fuckin gross/weird' and not 'you're a bad person for liking this' unless they're specifically talking about hosed up poo poo like a guy being all 'I found a way to force my kink on a friend, yay!'

True. But if The F Plus or Extra Credit ever started getting into the 500k downloads per episode territory, even their best attempts to keep the audience civil would fail.

My favorite Retsupure will always be that one where the LPer modded himself into the game (Fire Emblem iirc) and made his avatar confess his undying love for another character :allears:

Then that same LPer made that pokemon LP where they talked to the protagonist and also voiced the protagonist talking back :stare:

"My answer will be less than ten minutes because that is the Youtube limit" is a joke that constantly pops into my head all the loving time. And it kind of shows how loving long ago this was, how long has it been since Youtube pretty much lifted the video length limits?

My favorites were their Kickstarter Nonstarters series, where they made fun of projects that ranged from just plain stupid to utterly incomprehensible. I’m glad Slope’s Game Room picked up the torch when it came to mocking terrible crowdfunding projects because that’s a very rich vein of comedy.

It's absolutely unreal how by the magic of sheer longplayer incompetence, a 2.5 hour video game about loser Mike Dawson became a 7 hour video game about the most pathetic and stupid human being to ever exist

Kim Justice

I seem to remember that the guy who did the longplay was called "ADDGames4Ever" so I guess he must have been playing the game in a certain put-on style. I mean, I hope so because MY GOD

In any case, it did help to make Mike Dawson even more wimpy and generally bloody annoying and we wouldn't have "HA YOU MISSED PAL" without it. I loved it when Slowbeef purposefully edited that in for Mike's final, successful ring toss. Mike Dawson will NEVER complete the ring toss.

Someday somebody will realize The Rescuers was the best Disney movie. Someday.

And yes, I prefer it to Down Under. Down Under is scary. I want my funny hillbilly animals, not scary poacher man feeding kids to crocodiles.

But yeah, of course Bernard and Bianca fall in love quickly, and I'm glad Lindsay talks about "falling in love" vs "actually getting married." Notably, Bernard and Bianca don't get married until the sequel, or engaged rather.

But the point is it's a fuckin' movie and a common feature of drat near every movie ever with romance and action is you gotta keep up the pace in both action and romance. It's not antifeminist to fall in love immediately or in a week, it's just the way the story has to be told.

I still revisit a bunch of Retsupurae's old videos with some degree of regularity. Two other classics that haven't been mentioned yet: The Wrongpurae of King's Quest V (Featuring the adventures of a bodybuilder with hoarding disorders) and the Jurassic Park Arcade Game ("WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO GET OUT OF HERE IS-AAAAGH!")
