Mostly, I think the game is the most important factor as far as if informative-style will work. Metroid...doesn't really lend itself to informative LP.

5/5 would watch again.

Anyway, I think you can have an informative Metroid LP, but you'd have to show off sequence breaks and the like and have other stuff to talk about during backtracking parts and the like.

Frankly, I can't see PDP doing much of anything that's not what he's doing right now. Even if he's capable of more, he's tainted my opinion of him so much that he's permanently branded in my mind as "screaming European rape joke guy." Yes, even though he stopped the rape jokes.

Don't call him European. :( Call him Swedish if you must. Just don't put him in the same category as me.

Hm. The commentary was really interesting. I didn't really recognise what game you were playing in this vid, but that's okay. However, the microphone work was a bit disappointing. You folks should know by now that you ought to talk into the microphone at all times. Voting 3 out of 5 for this LP.

I still need to beat La-Mulana. The remake one. The problem is that I get stuck on some dumb puzzle looking for a solution, and there's no good guide that hints to where I should go and what I should pay attention to next instead of just giving me the solution. Does DeceasedCrab's LP do that?

There's currently an LP of the La Mulana remake going on. The nice thing about this LP is that Agent355 explains where to find clues to each and every puzzle. Most players stumble upon solutions without ever getting the clues. Agent355 shows the clues are still there. However, the clues and the solutions follow each other quite fast in the videos, so it's not that useful as a hint system.

I'm not sure if it counts but as I recall, Tobuscus refers to his fans as "audience".

Well, that makes sense, right? The first thing you're taught in school about publishing anything at all, is that you need to cater to your intended audience. This person just uses the term in a literal way.

I posted about a survey that someone made on Reddit about the let's play subculture some time ago (in the old Sandcastle, if I recall), and the person has posted the results and their study on the data.

I just stumbled upon it now and haven't had a chance to look at it, but this might be interesting so I decided to share here.

I sent the folks over at torrentfreak (a copyright/filesharing news blog) a mail about this court case.

They replied saying "there's still some gaping holes in the decision, but we'll keep an eye on it and might write an article on it when the case reaches its conclusion."

Not sure what to take from that. We'll see.

Hah, I just wrote a >1500 word email to him detailing the history of let's play and how it relates to what he wants to do. Some of my favourite excerpts:

Slowbeef probably started the phenomenon but he doesn't want to take blame for it

Even though millions of gameplay videos have been published since then in a lot of ways I see how Research Indicates did things as a platonic ideal of what a Let's Play video should be

DarkSydePhil is probably, medically, retarded

Illbleed is an incredibly obtuse and nutso japanese horror game that's impossible to describe properly

I hope he actually manages to bring a few of the things you explained to the Youtube LP table. There's so many youtube LP viewers that think that lovely facecam LPs are the only way to do LPs that it's nice whenever some reality leaves this subforum makes it to Youtube.

He has. Even made a vid about how he changed and how he feels bad about the stuff he has done. And slowbeef said that PDP personally thanked him because he learned a lot when they made fun of him in a retsupurae vid. He's still pewdiepie and still too annoying for me to watch, but there's been a huge improvement.

Slowbeef wrote a guest article for Polygon that is not just about Death To All Pewds Gate but about what it takes and what it means to be successful on youtube nowdays. You should read it, it's good and provides some perspective that I think a lot of people probably could use.

The funny thing is, if you're like most SA LPers, here to make some fun videos with friends and upload them, not to make big youtube bucks or be the most famous youtube superstar, none of this article applies. Who cares what kind of weird subscriber settings they have if you make LPs for fun. Especially if SA is your main base of operations.
