SSLP/Hybrid?

As a text-heavy game with turn-based combat it wouldn't make much sense as a video LP. I know there was one attempted I think a year or two ago, but it died relatively quickly. This was a drat shame since it was off to a pretty good start.

I'm not sure what it is about Halflife Yellow, but while every other Halflife game has multiple streams, LP's and fans, no one ever even mentions this one, not even as a comedy thing. I mean, it had dinosaurs! It had vehicle sections! It didn't completely suck rear end!

I would greatly appreciate someone LP'ing Wizards and Warriors, because otherwise I know I'll eventually do it and LP'ing that game would probably kill me and possibly also the audience.

I mean, if they were on the archive, it's because the original poster requested they be uploaded, right? Fixing some dead hosting would seem to, if anything, be helping out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Point:_Road_to_Hell is a game that I want to see someone LP just to see if I was a moron when I played it when I was younger or if it really is a janky, unpolished and highly confusing experience where you'll spend five hours shooting birds in the jungle for their feathers and looting South American ruins for vendor trash before you can actually buy a decent gun and start interacting with the storyline that you're intended to interact with right away.

I would in fact be interested in an SC2 LP, ideally by someone who hates the loving writing as much as I do, considering that it got absolutely too bad, combined with some painfully dull gameplay, for me to put up with past the Zerg campaign(and frankly it's a wonder I even gave it that much of my time).

Well, I like to think that my recent Betrayal at Krondor LP kind of broke the game from about... the second update. :v: But it's not a very mechanically deep game, so I'm not sure if it would really scratch whatever itch you have.

I remember laughing out loud at this LP back when I first discovered some... almost 15 years ago no? Not sure if it's held up since I have not reread it since then.

EDIT: Giving it a quick reread and it involves a good usage of what a lot of folks these days might consider slurs. So, you know, I guess that's unfortunate.

The line uttered at this point in the show is "Jesse, what the gently caress are you talking about?"

I like blind playthroughs sometimes, but it really takes the right person for it. There's "it's fun to watch this person get surprised by this cool-rear end event for the first time" and then there's "oh boy, time to watch two hours of this guy failing to spot a button right in front of him or searching the same corridor for the eleventh time."

I had the cardboard box version of Battlespire back in the day, before cleaning out my closets since I realized I was never actually gonna play any of those games and they were taking up a ton of space(I still kind of regret it sometimes, but I'm like that about throwing anything out), but I'd like someone else to LP it because once I finish up Gothic 3 I'm kind of out of bad ideas for LP's and if someone else snags Battlespire before I do, it would prevent me from making that mistake.

For Redguard, I played a cracked version back in the day because my dad knew someone who literally sold these huge custom-made sheets full of CD's of cracked games(usually with stuff like voice acting and cutscenes stripped out to save space), and I'm kind of curious whether there was actually a good game past the hosed up version my kid brain couldn't figure out.

I strongly recommend this Elden Ring LP. The randomized permadeath makes it consistently interesting in ways that various min/maxed elite runs aren't to me, because the LP'er doesn't even pick their own builds, they gotta run with the poo poo that the thread and a random roll brings them.

It's kinda surprising that there isn't any let's play of the first Icewind Dale yet. Especially notable since there's LPs of other Infinity Engine games including Icewind Dale 2 but not the first, not even an abandoned LP.
