:toot: Happy Birthday, LP!

The archives alone have been a constant source of entertainment for years, and it's been a rather good bit of fun to be here now. It's also very cool to see the ones that never made it to the archive or were struck by the curse partway through.

I honestly don't remember the first SSLP I ever read, I think it was Chokes' SaGa ones, that or Hippoman's one for New Mystery of the Emblem. (RIP for the RF2 LP, I'd resurrect that one if I could.)

Recalling that I found SALP via this post that linked to the LP archive of the time but only ended up on the forum coincidentally a few days after the LP subforum was created.

Saved me from ever having to navigate the Games forum, so probably the ideal timing.

I can't abide their description of goons as "creative reprobates", though. We are not creative.

Yeah, I'll admit to going back and re-reading Nakar's Ultima LPs multiple times - especially the Ultima 7 ones.

Absolute classics. (The games and the LPs.)

You take these risky jobs too, huh?
A different time, a different name, 2007 was. I came on right at the tail end of that year, having lurked since just before 9/11. I only ever had ideas for LPs, participated in discussions, and invitations to play together/thread input. Never made one, and can't :effort: hard enough to make it quality. I'll leave it to the experts.

Shine on, diamonds.

I have some old Richard Gamingo joke/parody videos people made back then saved. I dunno if they're still viewable in archives or something, but if anyone is interested:

The one big LP event I remember being active during was orenoren's translation of Danganronpa, which was so popular it put the LP forum into near permanent sub-only mode for its duration and had people dedicated to reposting updates offsite so it could be followed by non-members.

Being able to keep up with Elentor's Final Fantasy VII LP was one of the big reasons I finally decided to register here; I can understand the desire to do something like this for non-members.

I've just started watching these and I completely forgot about the chess mod challenge thread and the downfall rise to power of Richard Gamingo. There's a chess video on my channel that I remember making for a mod challenge but I couldn't remember which one and now it's all clicked. If you want to read through all twenty-nine pages of it (may require archives) you can find it here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3615950



It feels like his threads have had the Stalin treatment as I've only found two in the archives and I haven't seen any in the toxic waste dump. Edit: I found more of his threads from looking at his rap sheet: https://forums.somethingawful.com/banlist.php?userid=208978. My memory really is bad because the guy still clung on for two more years after the chess challenge, I was looking at dates before then. Some of his threads seemed to have been outright deleted\moved to a secure location.

Max is a somewhat regular poster in ADTRW, surprisingly enough.
