They took a really dark and tasteless game and made it... well still ready dark, but also loving hilarious too. Fer's JFK impression was sublime.

Wonder what happened with them - Maxwell Adam's hasn't been on twitter for some time, but then again, who would blame 'em?

It was only like 5 dollars or something and then I think they turned it off for me because it was automated payment and I wasn't really eligible for it anyway.  Ah yeah, it was Freelance astronauts that sorta brought me into this whole place because Maxwell, or someone else, found my old System Shock 2 LP that I was doing for another forum in Swedish and found it interesting. I think it was a combination of that and the RPG campaign threads in The Game Room. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Mar 26, 2021 |

I just rewatched their master quest run like a month ago. There's definitely jokes that aged like poo poo, but the playthrough itself is still really funny.

Most likely that stuff is lost to time - he was posting this stuff in mid-2014 which is exactly when the forum software was deleting threads forever because they were being moved to archives and then deleted from main, except the 'moved to archives' part wasn't working. The threads he posted in LP (as "Urine Philosopher" and "RichardGamingololo") linked to these reddit posts which are still around, though.

Quite possibly, there does seem to be a lot of threads to view for 2014 so there may be some hope. I might be able to find something if I had time frames, I don't have the time to trawl through endless posts right now. These posts are definitely in the archive or lost to server malfunctions and those alts turn up nothing in the search engine.

I've just looked into the earliest archives entries, I believe the earliest entry from the LP forum itself is UN Squadron by Sinix, which was started on March 4th 2007. I'm guessing that other LP's were moved into this forum as I see a Bioforge LP that was started in 2006. I need to take a break from this as I have an LP to update and housework to do.

This subforum has been really a great source of entertainment. I found it through the archive, when I was looking up stuff about I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, iirc, waaaaay back in the day (2007? I don't remember for sure). Happy birthday, Let's Play subforum!

I think it was supposed to be a slam against you, but just provided everyone with more material to blast him for. I miss them. That was like the only weirdo I have gotten to experience since I only joined the site about three years ago. I started out reading TheDarkid stuff at work because I had really boring desk jobs throughout my 20's. When I ran out of LPArchive stuff, I started trying to read new stuff on the site itself, which is when I decided to pay up for an account (The paywall certainly did its job).

He also did a rant video for Burt Sexual too as well as one or two in general about getting banned from here. They all seem to be taken down now which is a shame as they were the most viewed videos on his entire channel. When he first posted a lot of us tried to be helpful with providing links to better edit his OP and advice in general, to which he nodded and said he would read and take on board everyone's advice. Then he'd post brand new threads ignoring all of the rules yet again and ignored any help given before, which resulted in his first ban and meltdown. He started an LP thread which was a link to a three-year-old compilation video that wasn't an LP or even a video on his own channel: "Let's Play Lost Planet" https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3913983 He also did things like post three threads of the same LP\Stream, at least he made some effort in the LP for this one: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3914525 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3914553 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3914530 Holy moly, I didn't even see his new thread from two months ago: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3956582 Here is his book thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3917402 It's always nice to have new faces here but Wes was a force unto himself.

Pour one out for all the LPs that never finished their run. Fantasy General, Armageddon Empires, Spirit Engine, etc. Pour two out for all the LPs that finished but never made the archive.

Reminded of the guys who wanted to do a gaming podcast, as in "We play games and talk about various topics unrelated to the game itself as if we were a news site". I remember telling them to go and check with the podcast board and you telling me they were going to get torn to pieces for their terrible product. Think I saw their thread like once or twice without barely any replies to it before it disappeared.

Turns out one or both of them--at the very least the guy running the account that was posting the videos here and running their subreddit (yes, they had a subreddit)--was a massive alt-right shithead. I'll give them some credit though, they at least knew well enough to keep that poo poo tamped down while they were here very briefly. Looks like they just stopped making videos all together a year ago, so I guess that experiment officially failed.
