Hey these guys aren’t too bad!


What’s people’s thoughts on the Game Grumps? They seem to have thousands of videos to watch and the couple I watched weren’t awful.

I was iffy on them when it was Arin and Jon (Sonic is the only one I really remember), but I loved them ever since Dan came on board. He's way less grating and far more pleasant. I've just never been a JonTron fan.

As others have said though, they are more comedians than Let's Players, especially now that Youtube has made full game playthroughs not worth it for them.

I'm perfectly fine with that myself. I don't watch or read LP's to see someone masterfully play a game for me, I prefer to be entertained. My favourite SSLP's and favourite Let's Players are more funny than skillful. That's personal preference though.

The compiliation videos also make for great background noise while I work on LP updates.

They tend to provoke a wide range of opinions. I like them in small doses. I think their House Party LP is loving riot though.

House Party is a treasure.

VLP, VLP!

I support you in your suffering!

I'd like to do a VLP of it, because I legitimately love the game despite the insane garbage heap it is (I really really like transformation stuff), but I'm not personable enough for that. According to others from my role playing site days, I sound like a robot (and JonTron is already taken, thereby ruining the best name).

WKC's myriad of problems.

My biggest flaw was the implementation of an Avatar MC that gets ignored in favor of Leonard. Nobody creates their Marty/Mary Sue character after being promised a story about them and likes the fact they just play fifth fiddle to loving Leonard.

As for Akihiro Hino, that poo poo just happens in games. He's not exactly a rare outlier. I just wrapped the World of Final Fantasy Maxima LP where I included a four part miniseries delving into the trash fire that FF expanded universes always turn into. Nojima was involved in a lot of major moments in FF, but he also went on to write FFX novels and audio dramas endorsed by Square where Tidus gets blown up by a bomb after being psuedo-transported through time and then summoned back by Yuna by her wishing it. Everyone is vulnerable to descending into madness, regardless of previous brilliance.

Yeah! :buddy:

If you want to do it, do it. I hate the sound of my voice and I've done far too many VLPs. Plus I'd love to see someone do the inverse take on the game from mine, coming from a position of adoration rather than frustration. Besides, I find being "personable" in an LP is something that comes with just getting comfortable with doing it over time, or having a good set of co-commentators to back you up.

It's an idea I suppose. I have been wanting to try out different types of LPs to see which is most fun. I'll keep it in mind. WKC is a serious time investment. I'd probably test the VLP waters with something like Farpoint first.

crow do the PSP WKC game instead.

I had to import that from the UK. The only thing I can remember about it are the transformation sequences. It's barely a WKC game.
