Scattersane posted:Make sure you also read his Martian Dreams (http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/Martian%20Dreams/) LP as well, preferably between U6 and U7. It's a vital step in the evolution of Steve from 'Haha we named a girl Steve' to just about the most hilarious goon antihero ever. Part of me actually prefers the Ultima storyline as done with Steve as the main character now. The newest Nakar Ultima thread (Serpent Isle) has started a few days back and is already shaping up to be awesome. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2730724 Of course, it's even better if you've read the old threads, or at the very least from U6 forward. Edit: If you have the archives, I have to recommend the Kana Little Sister LP. A hentai game with pretty much no hentai parts and instead a narrative that is guaranteed to leave you in tears, about your dying little sister. It even manages to avoid being horrifically creepy for most of the game. In a way it's kind of hilarious to think of some horny teenager downloading this game expecting to get his hentai fix and instead being served up one of the most consistently depressing and emotional storylines instead. Be warned though, there are huge number of pictures each page. http://archives.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2417923 cmndstab fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Jan 9, 2008 |

I'm really enjoying Squint's VLP of Crusader: No Remorse - he doesn't shut up the whole time and he's quite entertaining, and it's a relatively entertaining game to watch anyway. It's only updated now and then but it's quite enjoyable. I also really, really enjoyed Coulis' VLP of Shadow of the Comet which is now over but was really gripping to watch. It's an adventure game featuring an awesome polite British gentleman/Cthulhu-destroying badass protagonist, and had a real atmosphere to it. For extra laughs, he's now doing a VLP of it's sequel, Prisoner of Ice which is just totally insane. As has been mentioned a hundred times before, Nakar's Ultima LPs are absolutely required reading. You don't have to be an Ultima fan (it will help) or even know anything about them, just read them. Feel free to start at U6 if you like and then go to Martian Dreams, then U7 and then Serpent Isle. They are the funniest things ever written online and Nakar turns the Avatar into the greatest character imaginable. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Apr 29, 2009 |

I'm not sure this is the right place for this question, but I was wondering if anyone still has the videos for the old Bubble Bobble LP by taxidermistpaste and VollipopMambo? The thread still exists here but none of the Google Video links are up. I'd love to watch over it again.

Rirse posted:Only taxidermistpasta has the original videos, but he is very slow at re-uploading content, due to limited access to the internet at times. He plans on re-uploading it one day, but he mentioned there are some videos missing. What a pity some are missing. Still, I'd love to see what he has got. Surely somebody would have downloaded them? I guess everyone figured Google Videos would last forever.

Holy poo poo, the Planescape Torment LP finally finished? I remember reading that a while back when it was still new. I got too far behind and kept putting it in the "catch up on later" basket. Perhaps I should go back and try it again. I remember what I had read of it was excellent.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:I also have a request for something that may be slightly unusual. Going back a looong time now, but Nakar did an excellent and hilarious series of Ultima LPs playing a female anti-hero Avatar. They're best read in order though you could safely start from Ultima 6. http://lparchive.org/Ultima-4-5-and-6/ http://lparchive.org/Martian-Dreams/ http://lparchive.org/Ultima-VII-The-Black-Gate/ http://lparchive.org/Ultima-VII-Part-2-Serpent-Isle/

Keeshhound posted:That sort of falls into "where you can choose from a selection of generic heroes, but your choice doesn't change the underlying story," though, doesn't it? Yes, though Nakar adds significantly more colour and characterisation to the games with the way he handles it. Admittedly it's played for laughs more than anything else, though, which might not be what Stabbey is looking for.

Petr posted:This is a weird one, but has anyone ever done a VLP of the entire Ultima series? I loved those games, but screenshot LPs just don't do it for me. Not on here, no, but I strongly recommend reading Nakar's series of six Ultima (screenshot) LPs anyway. They are some of the funniest and most comprehensive things related to games I've ever read and are paced perfectly. Feel free to skip U4 and U5 if you like as it takes a couple of games before the LPs really kick into gear. The U6, Martian Dreams, U7 and Serpent Isle LPs just get funnier and more interesting as they go along.

It's been recommended a hundred times before, but I'll chuck up a vote for the dongs.exe LP by taxidermistpaste. Still one of my favourite ever.

Thanks for the info on the LP Master List, guys! I've also read the Sandcastle OP several times and somehow missed that

bladedsmoke posted:So I want my Mouser did an excellent SSLP of the Leisure Suit Larry games from 1-5. It was never archived because he didn't finish it (he was intending to do all of them through to 7 but gave up midway through 6) but the games he did do were done very well and he had a whole heap of interesting behind-the-scenes information about Al Lowe and early Sierra after each update. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3322650

worth. Are there any good screenshot LPs that can only be found in the Archives? (i.e. aren't on the external LP Archive site.)

Ciaphas posted:I'm not really sure which of those categories if any these would fall under (edit: comedy SSLP I suppose), but I feel like Nakar's Ultima IV-VI, Ultima VII and Ultima VII: Serpent Isle should get some sort of mention. If not, just take this like any other post in this thread, because they are Good Reads. v Don't forget Martian Dreams! It comes between Ultima VI and Ultima VII and not only is the thread hilarious, but the game itself is really interesting as well. Edit: ShadowCatboy's Planescape: Torment thread should probably also get a mention in the narrative SSLP section. I must admit, I never finished reading it so I can't vouch as to its quality in its entirety, but what I saw was fantastic and it was an enormous effort, with 150+ updates over the course of five years. And Planescape: Torment itself is awesome. Finally, I'm not sure if he's still "cool" around here, but taxidermistpaste's dongs.exe LP is still one of the funniest things to come out of the LP forum. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Jul 8, 2014 |

I'll give a blurb about Nakar's Ultima LPs, since they look a bit bare with just the links. Nakar plays Ultima the way it was never intended to be played, with every loophole, cheap trick, and underhanded tactic possible exploited by the sociopathic Steve the Avatar, one of the funniest anti-heroes ever conceived of, and her ever-changing gang of long-suffering tag-along companions. Although U4 and U5 are kind of by-the-numbers, the introduction of portraits in U6 and beyond enable Nakar to inject an enormous amount of personality and humour into the LPs, while still showing off everything worth seeing in some of the best open-world RPGs of all time. Also Martian Dreams is awesome all by itself, as Steve travels back in time to team up with Marie Curie and Sigmund Freud to battle Rasputin on a coal-powered, steampunk Mars!

Just quickly, the dongs.exe LP is not a SSLP, it's a comedic VLP.
