Bobbin Threadbare posted:I feel like the thread for Neighborhood Necromancer (part of the Choice Of CYOA lineup) is criminally quiet, so I wanted to inform you all that the protagonist is currently dressed as a giant duck and chasing after her skeletons who have gone rogue on Dia de los Muertos. I just want to bring this one back up, because the first run through the game is done now, and a second one is just beginning. The story the first time was wonderfully pacifist/quirky, and the second one is shaping up to be about murdering as many people as possible.

HeartNotes3 posted:I also wanted to recommend the 2007 Let's Play Legends of Grimrock by IronChitlin. It's (mostly) complete except for the last 2 levels but it's really entertaining. It's a video humorous group Let's Play and it has accordion music bits too! I wanted to echo this recommendation. I finally decided to watch it after going through the thread, and it's simply delightful. For convenience, it's located here. Though as a warning, definitely don't watch if you were hoping for something close to skilled. Half the humour comes from Chitlin's inability to manage basic tasks sometimes. morallyobjected fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Oct 26, 2014 |

Turtlicious posted:A note about Run Button. They're podcasters who took up LP recently, and they almost never have much to say about the game besides how much it's terrible and how bored they are, and how there's nothing to say this far into it. I really wouldn't recommend them unless you're looking for white noise to fall asleep too. I like listening to them talk about things, so results may vary. You definitely aren't watching them to show off how to masterfully play a game though. It's just two dudes chilling and playing a game for a while.

Carbon dioxide posted:Listening to their commentary, it sounds they completely hate every single game they ever play, possibly because they're so bad at playing them. It's not my idea of fun, to say the least. to be fair, they played every single Sonic game. as has been mentioned, their commentary definitely isn't for everyone, but plenty of people have enjoyed it.

Dex and Vilemoon did a pretty great LP of Super Mario 3D World (archives needed) a while ago. The YouTube playlist is here, but the thread is great just for seeing how many Wii U's and copies of the game they got people to buy with their LP

Currently looking for some good phone-friendly SSLPs (sometimes images have a bunch of small text that doesn't transfer well) I can read on the go, finished or otherwise. I tend to like RPGs, and I've read TWD's FF9 and am already following the FF7 and FF8 LPs, as well as The Dark Id's Drakengard 3 any thoughts?

Thanks for the recommendations all! Currently trying Bloodnet (I like watching adventure games, since I never really had the patience for many of them when I was younger) and it seems like it will be a good one, after Chapter 1. After that, it seems like Chrono Trigger and the Lunar games might be good, as I've played but not beaten the former and have heard good things about the latter. While I was bringing it up, the FF8 LP by Cool Ghost is definitely worth checking out if you read SSLPs. Unlike Leovinus, he's giving the game a fair shake and highlighting the good parts, so it's a lot different and (I think) better for it.

While speaking of dungeon crawlers and Grimrock, I thought Iron Chitlin's was great for entertainment purposes: It was in the 2007 thread, so it might have been overlooked

Faerie Fortune posted:Iron Chitlin did a run of Legend of Grimrock for the casual LP thread that I absolutely love. Its just a group of friends getting together to watch Chitlin play a game and occasionally play accordion and its a lot of fun! The Legend of Grimrock LP is actually one I caught in the thread and is one of my favourites--especially the accordion bits and everyone giving Chitlin poo poo for messing up--but I love races so I'll definitely take a look at the Super Meat Boy one. Thanks!

TooMuchAbstraction posted:How about multiplayer LPs? For awhile, years ago, the Freelance Astronauts' run of New Super Mario Bros Wii was my go-to source of laughs if I needed a pick-me-up. Anything similar these days? If you want to watch some people go humourously through a bad game, there's Kalon (and company)'s Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One LP, which is one of those 4-player brawler-type games.

Lampsacus posted:I'm looking for a super long LP. Like, super long. At the detriment of quality, long. RunButton are well into playing every Sonic and Mario game ever made (over 200 and 100 videos respectively) if you don't mind something subtitled, BrainWeasel's LP of FFXII IZJS was absolutely inspired, and is well worth reading the thread for, because he had people write "assignments" for the "class" he was teaching through the LP

Princey posted:So, apparently what I'm craving right now in an LP is sweet, sweet mechanics chat. Just finished reading through a FFII LP that did a lot of explaining of its obtuse stat and skill progression system and ways to break the game over your knee, and I'm looking for more. you may enjoy Orange Fluffy Sheep's FF Tactics and Digimon World LPs it doesn't get more obtuse than needing to have a friend look at the game's source code to let you know what's going on

Centzon Totochtin posted:Hi, I'm looking for a LP group that runs bad games blind, filled with incompetent boobery, preferably in a streaming format that is later cut into smaller digestible videos? it's not exactly what you're asking for, but have you checked out RunButton? they don't do just bad games, but they did play every Sonic game (and there are some bad ones in there) and are still in the process of playing every Mario game. they're not always going in blind, but it's not like they're pro-strat mega gamers who do everything well either. they've played a lot of other games too, which you can check out on their channel (for example, doing Silent Hill 1-3 blind)

Jygallax posted:Can anyone recommend some LP's of some FMV/point and click games which are mystery/detective/horror themed? Preferably ones with two hosts to play off each other. I recently finished an LP of Contradiction: Spot the Liar! and now I'm itching for more like that. Bonus points for being really cheesy. These don't have two hosts, but I like Niggurath's Phantasmagoria LP and Malorie's The 7th Guest LP. they're subtitled though, so if you really want someone to listen to, don't go for those. For a duo that's a little less on the horror, more on the funny, RChimp Cola and Sinatrapod did a great LP of Resident Evil 5

Yar The Pirate posted:Can anyone recommend an LPer to watch that plays through JRPGs or RPGs relatively competently? The closest comparison I can think of is maybe Clemps but instead of analysis, it's an LP where the host knows enough about the game to have an ongoing discussion about it while playing. Another comparison might be how Bobbin Threadbare showed off Rogue Galaxy so well that I felt no need to play through the game myself since he demonstrated the story and all the little secrets. it's a subtitle LP, but BrainWeasel did one of the best LPs I've ever seen of Final Fantasy XII IZJS. it's set up like a college course and people wrote mini essays in response to questions he posed so it's worth reading the thread

Foul Ole Ron posted:I have been gone a long time. What's the general top 10 must see LP's of all time? Have they changed much from the initial thread post? LPs that I like but aren't in the OP (I don't think--I'm tablet posting so it's a pain to check) are: SSLPs Digimon World by OrangeFluffySheep Digimon World Is a terribly and cryptically coded game--so much so that OFS had to have a friend analyse the code of the game in order to figure out how to get a Digimon he wanted--and OFS breaks it open. Final Fantasy VIII by Cool Ghost Cool Ghost showed a lot of people that FFVIII is a better game than it gets credit for--they just hid a lot of it in obscure scenes most people never saw. Video LPs Crash Bandicoot 1-3 by JordanKai and Ikwaylx They both love the games and they're good at them (getting all the platinum relics and 100+%), so it's just a joy to watch. Spyro 2 and Spyro 3 by Just A Friend and SinatraPod similar to Crash above. Just A Friend also breaks the games by showing how to skip whole sections whenever possible through a number of different kinds of glitches

I didn't realise that they had taken the videos down, and I can't imagine why. according to the master list, it (and their other good LP of The Wrath of Cortex) were definitely on the archive at one point, so they must have asked that they be taken down.
