Secondary request: informative LP of Dark Souls 2?

MAges and Murderdads is a series about the Infinity Engine games and their successors (BG, Planescape...). It really is more of a podcast, since it consists of two players comparing their experiences as different characters, with background footage being more or less purely illustrative. It is good, relaxed and thoughtful.
The creators are goons, but I don't know if they have an active thread, so here's a playlist instead:

Mages and Murderdads is a real good time, and works very well as background noise.

IGgy IGsen has done a comprehensive LP of both Dark Souls 2 and its DLC.
clicky

And if you don't care about spoilers, Aegon of Astora has done a runthrough called Let's Talk Lore, where he talks about the lore of Dark Souls 2 from the beginning to the end.

Completionism in Nuclear Throne is ridiculously difficult, as there's a large number of unlocks that require really high-level play. I don't know how informative it'll be, but SleepCycles has a Quest for Ultra Mutant series he's been doing. Last updated in April, so I don't know if he finished or gave up or is just taking a break. But he's reasonably entertaining IME.

I've seen a couple streams of people playing extremely good game Celeste for the first time and slowly developing into platforming gods. I've decided I haven't seen enough. Please help me saturate myself in vicarious Celeste experiences.

Right, I should stress the "first time" part of this. I'm looking for blind runs that went well. (That was a good LP though)

Anime is Bad.
Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

Can anyone recommend some decent, sorta chill people that play Silent Hunter, Il-2, Rise of Flight, etc? Knowing their poo poo about the vehicles, time period, or theatre of war is a bonus, but not required. Just finished my latest binge of One F Jef's old stuff and I need more.

Thanks! This is fast-paced as poo poo so it's slightly hard to keep up with everything that's going on but drat if he isn't good in the game. Definitely better than any other NT LP I've come across.

There was a Diablo 2 LP on SA where the gimmick was the necromancer didn't want to click on any monsters, just have his skeletons kill everything. I can't seem to find it. Could anyone help, or suggest a different LP following a lazy necromancer that I could fall asleep to? I could just check my post history in this very thread, where I replied to a comment about it.

I know there are three good MOO2 LP's in the archive, but they're pretty story/audience participation based. Is there one out there that's more informative/this is how you play/this is how the systems work? I'm trying to break into MOO2 more now that I've been following Thotmix's MOO LPs which have been great.

What's the story with Khad? I was watching the old slowbeef metroid prime let's play and he came up in a video or two. I thought he was pretty funny, but turns out he's been mega probated, what happened exactly?

Words cannot describe what a disaster the pie was.
I can’t remember what happened but something about him and lowtax getting into it is ringing a bell. He still has a YouTube channel he uploads to:

The only thing I remember about Khad is one of his LP videos where he got Lowtax to guest. I'm pretty sure the entire video was just Lowtax calling him a dumbass for like 10 straight minutes. Sadly I don't have a link to the video handy. It's been lost to time.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
What's available in the way of good Xenoblade LPs? I don't really know much about the series, so anything that gives me a good presentation of what the games are about and what everyone seemed to love so much about them is fine.

No one on SA has managed a complete LP yet. Lethemonster came close, but only made it to the doorstep of the boss of the penultimate dungeon and a very massive game-changing revelation before it fell off completely. It fits your requirements otherwise, however.

Xenoblade Chronicles was 100% by ChuggaConroy. It's comprehensive, but never dull, and delivered with the utmost enthusiasm for the project and the game.

Don't know if I'm one of those streamers you've been seeing since I just got through playing Celeste for the first time back in October and had to ride that same difficulty curve all the way up, but if not I offer up my run through the A- and B-sides, as well as an attempt at the Flying Golden Strawberry to close it out: Enjoy, I hope?
