Seeing Lowtax's thread stickied made me wonder what the possibility of maybe doing something like stickying highly recommended running threads for a week at a time. I have no idea how you would really make the call on what should or shouldn't be up for consideration, but it could help boost visibility for a good thread or two that posters are overlooking.

Weekly poll, top 3 get recommended?

Thread ratings gets skewed when you have the much older ones always at the top, don't they?

Hey, I know there are a million Paradox LPs out there, but a lot of them seem to assume the reader has some level of understanding of how the game is played, or are focused on role-playing. Are there any decent Paradox LPs that don't do those two things?

Can anyone recommend me some good Minecraft Let's Plays? I watch LPs for soothing background ambiance usually while I do internet things, so Minecraft seems like a good idea. I'd prefer with commentary from someone who isn't completely annoying to listen to.

Dave_O had some pretty chill minecraft videos. I don't think he made too many though, they should be available on his youtube page.

I'd like to recommend 007: Agent Under Fire by ThornBrain. Even if you don't know anything about James Bond, this LP is worth the watch. Goofy AI, great commentary and a good presentation, its great for a laugh at how over the top it gets.

I could use some help here, Kojima-fans. What games should I read/watch, and in which order, to get myself somewhere up to speed?

If possible, watch them in the order they were released, not when they are set in their timeline. Chip Cheezum does amazing Metal Gear Solid LPs and I would recommend his videos for all the games in the main series.

I'm like 99% sure that there haven't been any real time strategy LP's. I'm talking like Total War type RTS. I know someone was doing a Command and Conquer LP and abandoned it in favor of playing some other video game.

There was a Red Alert 2 LP that died out, for some reason.

There's a Starcraft 2 LP that seems to be dead, not sure what the status is.

There's a Shogun 2 Total War LP on-going.

There's a Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun LP that's currently on-going.

There's a Company of Heroes LP.

E: Almost forgot Grey Hunter's Combat Mission LP's

And I'm pretty sure I'm missing another 3-5 that are currently on the forums.

If you're a bit of a fan of Age of Empires II like I am, you might get a kick out of Resonance22.

Has very interesting perspective and live commentary on his AOE2 games, but the shining beacon is Resonance's 'Break the Meta' series in which he commentates over matches played by great players and insane strategies that you get by being creative or crazy in the game.

I really like slow, thoughtful let's plays with an analytical / explanatory style. I've seen Bobbin Threadbare's series already. I also really like that Battlefield 1942 multiplayer LP which went in-depth into strategies and stuff. Another series I enjoyed is Arma II by Dslyecxi.

Weirdly, that sounds like what I understand this forum's very first SSLPs were like. One image, then it's up to the thread to decide what to do in the game, then one more image.

There's no decision-making in most of the SSLPs I've seen off-site.

It'll be something like:

Post 3
