  I joined Steam nearly 10 years ago. Through Steam Sales, Humble Bundles, joke gifts from friends, and drunken impulse buys I've amassed a library of nearly 400 games. I've played about 50 of them. That's going to change. I'm going to be playing every game in my Steam library, one after the other, in alphabetical order. Joining me will be my best friend Eric (Exquisite Dead Guy), my worst friend Tyler (TylerHendrix), and my occasional friend Mallory (stablercake). This is going to be a casual LP. Most games will be played blind. We will talk over cutscenes. Sometimes we will go long stretches without even talking about the game. This is quite a heavy undertaking, and I don't think we could do it right if we didn't have some rules in place.  1) I must play every game in my Steam library that I have not already played. I may only skip a game if I have already invested a reasonable amount of time (a few hours, or I've beaten it already) playing it. I must disclose in the thread when I skip a game and why I've skipped it. 2) I must play every game not until the game is done, but until I am done. This means I have to make a valiant effort to play the game and try to enjoy it. I don't have to finish every game, but I will finish the ones that I really like. 3) If I buy a new game between now and the end of the Let's Play and it goes unplayed, I can circle back to it at any time within the LP. 4) My cohosts can call it quits on a game for me, but I reserve the right to veto if I'm having fun.  Please don't post spoilers for any game I'm playing. Please don't argue. Please don't be mean to me. Also, no olives.  1000 Amps Alan Wake Portal Alan Wake's American Nightmare And Yet It Moves Anomaly Warzone Earth Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Atom Zombie Smasher Ferrum Secrets: Where is Grandpa?

Air is lava! posted:That's an interesting project. I might watch a few of those videos, if a game interests me, but this seems a bit intimidating. I am not afraid. I'm not afraid of ANYTHING.  Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 3: "Badabing" In this episode we make an important discovery. We meet the Best Character in the Game. We also meet a special dodie and find a bad tire swing.

And yeah, I am going to be doing games I get while this is going on. I'll circle back around every once in a while during the course of the LP to pick up the stragglers, but mostly I'll be going alphabetically.

Tiggum posted:Trying to stand on tables seems to be the most fun part of this game so far. (I tried playing it once and didn't even get as far as the ferry 20 mins into your first video). It starts wearing on me in the next couple episodes, but I'll keep giving it a chance because I get delighted by unintentional things. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 4: "Milady" In this episode, Tyler honks. Some park ranger lies to us and lets his dodie disappear. He's a terrible dodie owner. We speculate on the contents of the thermoses. Also we all love screaming at Tyler.

Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 5: "Murder" The Loudest Air Conditioner in the World makes an appearance in today's episode. We reunite with the hillbilly, bitch about how long this is taking, comment on the efficiency on lumberjacks, and I do a little drunk driving. This game is for the birds. Also if you get this in time, I'm going to stream some Enter the Gungeon on my Hitbox at around 7:45 Eastern! I'm bad at it, but I like playing it!! samu3lk fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Sep 16, 2016 |

Tiggum posted:Tim Burton is a desperate pervert. My suspicions must be correct because another person agrees. I've got my eye on you, Burton. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 6: "Mitchell" This Let's Play is the Natural Way to Male Enhancement. Barry gets to work, our foot falls asleep, and we begin the Wake Escape. After all that, we have to work ourselves around a Firewatch mod. How do you kill a hundred thousand birds??

I write all the descriptions for these when I'm drunk and I like to see what I come up with. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 7: "Barrel" The Wake Escape comes to its conclusion as Alan gets his cock cut off. This game is like an animal. Except it doesn't have any eyes or a head or legs. But it is a monster. We do some talking about Jesus. We do some literary critique. I somehow forget the controls in the middle of a session before we move on to speed run tricks. This video also has one of my favorite moments in the LP so far. Yeah that's pretty accurate. See you in a couple days!!!

Tiggum posted:Got to admit, I picked up my phone and started reading Twitter about half way through this one. You've managed to make Alan Wake much more entertaining to watch than to play, but even so there's only so much you can do. Luckily some non-forest levels come up and we catch our second wind in the next few episodes. I'm dead set on finishing this one. I can't give up on the SECOND GAME IN THE THREAD.

Akratic Method posted:Rules notwithstanding, if a game becomes dull beyond the point of good videos being possible, I think you can call it once you've put a few hours into it. If that's the general consensus, then we can move on. We've recorded a few more Alan Wake episodes I can post as we go into the next game... ... which is Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Oy.

Tiggum posted:Is it significantly different? Because if it's basically just more of the same, I'd probably load it up, play five minutes and go "Yep, done with that." We beat Alan Wake tonight, so I'll meet you halfway. I'll post two episodes at a time until it's over. The next few episodes are a lot more light hearted as we ignore the game and just shoot the poo poo. If you want to know more about Alan Wake, sorry. If you want to know more about the time I almost bled to death and Mallory came to my house with a first aid kit, then keep watching. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 9: "Boys" The Boys are Back! And in better spirits! The game starts getting silly and fun again, so let's keep going for a while. Let's Plays of old are discussed, then we go see the doctor. Having a good Goodie vs. Baddie ratio is crucial to a game's success. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 10: "Mjolnir" Heavy fuckin' metal!!! We meet the second and third best characters in the game (after Barry). The Boys are Back again until we cast a spell. We show off another speed run trick that helps us finally conquer Barry. Also Eric and I have been replaying Dark Souls 3 in preparation for the DLC and here's a video I made to document a glitch we encountered.

Tiggum posted:OK, that was worth it for standing on Barry's head. It was exactly what I needed to continue playing. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 11: "Hallelujah" Please, no noise in the studio! We're trying to record a Let's Play here! Once we're out of the hedge maze, it's time to get religious because we're all good Christian soldiers. Get that basso profundo in there. They love that poo poo on the Cornball Station. Also this episode contains my favorite part in the game. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 12: "Cilantro" Let's start the episode with some pop culture references, an argument, and me drinking a glass of soap. Most of this episode is a podcast where we talk about movies we watched as kids. Would you party with Barry Wheeler? Because we would.

I feel like ///i shuld have been paying more attention, but that's probably not true. Jesus, wait until we get to the end. The ending was so stupid in thought there were multiple endings.

Last 3 episodes will go up on Friday. I wanted to get this one over with. Then a couple palate cleansers and onto the uh... other Alan Wake game I own. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 13: "Robbery" This is the episode nobody will watch. It's unlucky. The people in Bright Falls are all loving crooks and they poo poo where they eat. Cop Wife is conquered. With all this religious talk, I guess it's time we go to church. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 14: "Knobbly" Remember that time Mallory saved me from bleeding to death while I was trying to cook fajitas for her and her boyfriend? We'll share some grocery tips, talk about comic books, Invader Zim, and Don Bluth, and Dom DeLuise. We might also talk about the video game Alan Wake. See ya Friday.

Here it is. The grand finale. Three episodes of a Let's Play where the host and his commentators are at their wits' end. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 15: "Homer" This stupid old lady is terrible at everything she does. We hate birds, but we love Barry. Is there anything in this world as powerful as Barry Wheeler? Is there anything more terrifying than something hitting your door while you're recording a Let's Play?? Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 16: "Lincoln" I been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to make a statement. I just liked it. Also my uncle sold me one for cheap when I was in college. I used to run over traffic cones and flatten shopping carts in it. Let's Play Alan Wake! Episode 17: "What" Hopes are high for American Nightmare. It can't possibly get worse than this. A fun game to play at home is to count how many times I moan "Oooh God" any time I have to do anything in this video. This has been the best Moose Festival ever. David Bowie never asked for this. RIP. Okay, see you guys Monday with a new game.

After I saw the ending, I went online to see if there were multiple endings because the one we got made NO SENSE. I felt like I was missing a lot. The majority of what I found said "You have to read the pages to get the whole story," which makes me wonder why the writer didn't just write a drat book. The problem is this is a video game. The story should come from the gameplay and cutscenes. To grind to a halt to read a few paragraphs of purple prose every 10 minutes takes away from the experience of playing a game. If I want to read, I open a book. If I want to play a video game, I don't play Alan Wake.

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Have you not played Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Fallout or any of those games where you have to read a codex to learn in-game things? Alan Wake is just another video game but with it's plot in the "codex" instead. You can get the basic idea of those stories by talking to NPCs and watching cutscenes. I've made no secret that Dark Souls is my favorite game and you get the basic "You're the chosen one, you have to kill the old gods" story just by playing the game. In Alan Wake, all of a sudden whoops the FBI is here. Better run instead of asking them to help me find my Spaghetti Bride. oldskool posted:The PC version comes with the DLC, so you already own it & that means you have to play it! Your posts aren't showing up in the thread dude I can't read this for some reason weird it just looks blank to me.

Here's the palate cleanser I promised. Let's Play Portal! "Comedy" Might as well sprinkle in the Orange Box games as we do this. This isn't a real speed run. Maybe a hurried mosey? There are no mistakes. Valve doesn't make games anymore, so let's just enjoy what they've given us. The games they made before. They're all garbage. Cathode Raymond posted:These and other questions have no easy answers. I maintain that playing through a whole steam library simply can't be done. I don't think I've made it completely clear, but I'm not playing every game until the game is done. I'm playing every game until I'm done. I'm going to give every game a fair shake and at least do half an hour on most if not all of them. We're also introducing a rule that my cohosts can call for a game's demise if they're not having fun anymore. I'm stubborn. I'll keep going.

Warmal posted:I'm actually stunned with how good the DLC looks. I'm disappointed that I never played it myself. Yeah we've done one more recording session and we are a lot more cheerful than we were in the original game. Varied envrionments, some fun weapons, and SLIGHTLY better looking graphics go a long way. Also I checked a wiki to see how close we are to the end and after recording on Friday were almost 2/3 through the game. This sucker is SHORT.

Look, guys. Tyler says some hurtful things about you in this episode. I agree with him, but you should blame Tyler for it. Also I finally figured out how to record in 1080p. So enjoy that!! Let's Play Alan Wake's American Nightmare Part 02! "This Old Chair" A toad strangler is a degree of severity slightly above a duck drowner and mostly below a turd strangler. There's not a thermos to be found in this game. Luckily, there aren't any crows either. Mustard, pancake dressing, sticky bandits... What's going on? Woof.

BioEnchanted posted:Considering how hard you were ignoring the plot of Alan Wake, it's not surprising you didn't get what happened. Here's a summary: I really like this plot! I'd like it a lot more if I got it from playing a video game instead of pausing my video game every few minutes to read a book. This was actually a really good summary of what is going on in this game. Thanks! Anyway, we're in the home stretch of American Nightmare. I'll post the rest of the episodes by the end of the week. Let's Play Alan Wake's American Nightmare Part 4! "Stop It Out" Take your Metal-Mucil and get a good look at your manuscript. It's the middle of the night and summer is over, so let's play some more Alan Wake. We investigate Alan Wake's dietary habits, the origins of Spaghetti Wife, and continue to pointedly ignore the plot of this game. WHAT ARE THOSE POCKETS FOR?? Also I recorded some videos last weekend while dying my hair. I was very drunk and trying to kill time.

Let's Play Alan Wake's American Nightmare Part 5! "Get Better Soon" I don't care if you're a tepee or a wigwam. Only 90s kids will enjoy this episode. Out of nowhere, the wisecracks begin and our patience once again begins to wane. Whut? Aah. AAOOWH! There's got to be a better way of doing this. I'm clearly out of my depth. The next episode is the last one. SEE YOU THEN SPACE CADETS.

Unless they circle around and make a game that takes place in modern times, I have no idea what purpose that serves.

The problem with the modern times stuff is I'm not running around a crowded city on rooftops bothering people and throwing money at them and stabbing them through the eye socket. I went back to finish Assassin's Creed 2 and I am having an absolute blast with it. Ezio's story is simple, but thrilling. Desmond's is boring and dumb. Speaking of boring and dumb, here's a link to another one of my videos.  Let's Play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood! - Part 2: "One Single Tampon" This is a risque Let's Play. We're going to talk some tactics. We kill the men, the women and, I'm ashamed to admit, the children. This horse wants nothing to do with us. We're having some technical difficulties in this episode and the video kinda hitches around, but it's fixed by Episode 4. Bye, bitch.

Tiggum posted:That Tomb-Raider-y bit reminded me of one thing that always annoys me about Tomb Raider, which is almost getting to the next checkpoint and falling and having to climb back up. Games like this should have a rewind function where you can just go "Whoops, fell down. Undo." I'm playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and I have about a 50% success rate for jumping onto a zip line. Sometimes Lara just doesn't grab on. This would be perfect for that scenario.
