Interesting to see Mark of the Ninja on the list of requested LPs. I have other projects I'm working on and planning but I'll play that one for myself for now and see if it's something I feel I can do a decent LP of in the future. I didn't get into it too much when it first came out but I was going to give it another chance sometime anyway.

Also, can I nominate a game for the recommended list? I really think The Dark Id's SSLP of Nier belongs on there.

He took a game that originally had a poor reception and helped rehabilitate its reputation. It's now regarded as a cult classic and I'm not sure it would be if not for his thread. He presented a lot of obscure information and story bits that aren't in the game and put it all together so a game that seemed incomprehensible at times actually had a story that had some real depth to it.

Didn’t Yoko Taro call him his ambassador to the west?
Yes.

I can't give a citation for speculation but the above combined with the fact that Yoko Taro and his publishers took note of how Nier came to gain a cult following in the West is certainly suggestive.

I figured I'd notify the thread that I'm laying the groundwork to start a Let's Play of one of the games on the unfulfilled list- Pathologic 2. I don't want to try to make some Definitive SA LP, this will be my own humble little thing. I have a post in the sandcastle, I'll give it a few days to see if I get any feedback on how to shape it before I start the thread.

VVVVVV Point taken. I still think of this place as enforcing high standards but it is a lot more chill than it used to be.
