It might be a bit of banner blindness, but for me, it's really the fact that all the update links are below in the actual content of the page, and the Internet Archive link is above. It almost looks like a header. I'm just not looking in that area when I go to watch the updates.

I do wonder how much of the archive could be replaced by a link to a YouTube Playlist and an Internet Archive link, though. Perhaps we should have those as standard features at the top of every archived LP.

Moving it to where the update links normally are and giving it a gray background would help a lot more than reshaping it to be less banner-y.

The thing about Spec Ops is that it's impossible to recommend it, because telling you why we're recommending it will spoil it. But please go play Spec Ops, or at the very least just watch OatmealRaisin's LP.

I thought it was an 90s FMV game that tumblr had recently discovered and was ironically playing or something.

I think the one thing is it's hard to identify challenges that aren't one trick ponies. I was thinking of Swordless LoZ 1 (I used an initialism, am I gamer now?) but apparently a lot of it is luck manipulation and bomb farming?

That's an acronym, beef.

"LoZ OoT" is pronounced like "lawsuit" because Shigeru Miyamoto was once in a lawsuit. It's true. I heard it from DidYouKnowGaming.

He killed a guy from DUI. He is a criminal and video games are not important enough to let criminals out of jail.

My mother was killed by a drunk driver when I was 9. I have no sympathy for him.

I don't like Valkhorn because he did a LP of Super Mario Bros. 3 and tried to make it informative, but got almost all of his information and history wrong. It's sort of impressive how much he was able to just lie through his teeth.

That may seem reasonable to you, but in my madness I'm no longer bound by any man's rationality. Like an animal I thirst for one thing, and one thing only - an explicit verdict that tedious furries are the cornerstone of this subforum.

why, exactly?

I stopped watching their videos when they talked about the radio spectrum "running out" and apparently didn't even read the Wikipedia article about what a radio is and how it works. And somehow the radio spectrum "running out" would cause all your phones to stop working and your games to lock up if they tried to enter multiplayer.

Then there was the one about the AI Singularity and said how it would totes happen in our lifetimes, guise!!! Watch out for our new robot overlords!

I'm up to 6 in the big ol' Mario Party LP, and I gotta say, the only good part of the LP is the videos themselves. Which is typically the case, but the thread is especially awful compared to the FSA thread. Half the posts are either annoying cheerleading and creepy goonery, or ungrateful snippiness on the part of Kaz and pokecapn due to the former, and it just makes everyone look bad.

It might be because I stayed up till 6AM watching turns 45-50, but it's put a bad taste in my mouth and I don't like anything involved, not even the LPers. I actually had to just plain skip to the end of MP5 because it got boring as hell. Let's hope 6 will be better (it won't).

IMO, if you have to choose between Mario Party and Four Swords Adventures, watch the latter.


I thought Putty was a joke LPer? At least, I remember nobody taking him seriously and there being some sort of LP goon drama around him. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Putty is a former-GBS-superstar-turned-LP-superstar. Also, finish your program.

Yes.

Anything with Vicas is good. Geop's Dark Souls LP is really, really good. Go watch that if you haven't. Also, the Donkey Kong 64 LP and Mario 64-but-feet.

I broke Neopets by farming for six hours and then buying endgame gear.

Also, is the "don't plug your own thread" rule still in effect for on-theme recommendations? I did some glitch LPs a bit ago.

His LP is finishing next episode clocking in at 81 videos. Geop's LP had around 112. You might want to rethink your hypothesis.
