Thunderfinger posted:Really, blip.tv and YouTube seems to be LP's favorites. Even if blip.tv is very very skittish about allowing LP videos or not. Although I assume this is more based on popularity or used bandwidth or something really arcane on their end. My only issue with Youtube is that the automated copyright claims can be a little bit too annoying at times. A reason why I can't upload some of my stuff to it as a backup when Viddler removes them. Well that and some of my videos are longer than the limit but I only have myself to blame for being dumb like that back then. ivantod posted:Did everybody receive this email from Viddler? I have a bunch of LP videos there but haven't got any new emails from them? Yeah I haven't gotten that message either.

Nohman posted:I figure this is as good a place as any to ask, but I am curious what LPs those that have done multiple have enjoyed completing the most. And the least for that matter. I'd be interested to hear from the perspective of the people that do the things. I would have to say all of them for various reasons but going with a gut reaction I would have to say the first Halo game. Always liked it and the setting somewhat too and I enjoyed LPing it. Sure there are things I'd done differently now in terms of video quality and editing but as a first serious attempt at LPing it ended up not bad at all. But then at the same time as I said I like the others I've done as well for various reasons, Chaos Theory because I think it's one of the best stealth games and I wanted to show it off so bad and HAWX 1 and 2 because I wanted to show a really faulty game that still was very enjoyable to play at times. I mean I found myself rewatching some of those videos just recently because of that. And for Halo 2 I simply felt a slight obligation of "finishing the fight" so to speak. Still wish I could do a proper job with that and do the rest. Geop posted:Coming off of my first LP (where were so many things wrong with it that I can't stand looking at the videos) Know that feeling all too well. My first LP here was System Shock 2 and I just ended up deleting all the videos for it everywhere because I absolutely hated it. Now with the new functionality patch I may just end up redoing it and do a better job at it. Probably not. v  v Got lot's of dream projects I kinda want to do but can't for various reasons. But then again that's probably a common thing for most people. Sylphid posted:Not to sound insulting or anything, because I loved your AC2 LP, but is there any particular reason it took that long? I know AC2's a fairly long game on its own, but I'd likely have more trouble with the first one, given how annoying some of the later missions are. As far as I can remember he played it first on PS3 (or was it 360?) before that ran into troubles and he had to switch to another console which later on gave up on him. It was the standard LP curse going on for a while there.

Geop posted:That was AC1, actually. The 360 red-ringed (which put things on hold for a month or two), so it had to be replaced. I started on the PS3 in the initial videos, but switched after an hour or two; AC1 & AC2 had ridiculous amounts of screen-tearing on the PS3 compared to the 360. I hear it's been pretty even between them since Brohood. Ah. I stand corrected then.

whitehelm posted:I'm not sure where you got this impression, but Vimeo is certainly not the "other option". Any LPs on Vimeo get deleted, and no one here's used it for a long time. The other option is actually blip.tv now. Funny thing is that my LP videos still haven't been deleted off Viddler. Nor have they touched my account or messaged me about it in any way.

I've played with the thought of revisiting my first and second LP as well occasionally as well. Doubt it'll ever really do it though. Mostly because I have no real idea how to do a decent LP of System Shock 2 and all I'd do with the Halo would be to rerecord it in better quality and do it with voice commentary instead of subtitles and that just comes off as kinda low effort since not much would be different in that case.

FrenzyTheKillbot posted:You know, I had been considering doing informative runs of the Halo games using coop over Live. It was something I was going to try with my buddy who helped on my last LP but he probably couldn't devote the time and attention to it. If you were interested we could talk about making that a thing, although I probably won't have a huge amount of time to work on it for the next few months. While that sounds like an interesting idea the problem is that co-op doesn't exist for the PC version of Halo and I don't own a 360 either. That and I sorta dislike playing FPS on consoles due to the controls for that part.

BrainWeasel posted:Speaking of thread participation -- thanks for the advice on my IZJS videos, everyone. Thread is up and submissions are open for the first two Jobs. I'm gonna ask here as I didn't feel like fouling up the actual thread but is there any reason as to why the embedded function is turned off for the videos? I'm kinda curious and because SALR gives me a bigger video window than what YT does without having to do full screen I kinda prefer watching YT videos via that.

It's mentioned in the Tech Support Fort OP if you want a link.

baldurk posted:In my ideal world everyone would at the very least keep a local backup to send me later - portable hard drives are really cheap, even for a 720p LP. I've got all of my stuff on a 1TB external for backup purposes. Although I wonder about EU to US shipping costs if I was ever to do that. Have actually been uploading the first Halo LP to YT for whenever Blip or Viddler notices my account and removes it but I've been putting that on hold because the uploading speed makes my irc connection a bit unstable.

Which almost makes me slightly worried that'll get that if I ever get around uploading my old Halo 1 and 2 LPs onto youtube if blip ever decides to go around and delete them (which haven't happened yet) but so far the only remark I've gotten is one of the standard copyrighted music ones for the final music video I did for that and nothing else.

shinmai posted:Not on YouTube directly, but there's an extension for Chrome called YouTube Options that has an option to always play at the highest quality. I'm sure similar extensions are available for other major browsers. Yeah I've got a grease monkey script that does it for me, and another one that makes the videos browser fullscreen. Both are really drat handy. kalonZombie posted:Seriously. They charge something like $80 a year in order for you to upload in HD and to set your videos to private. Things you can do for free on pretty much ANY OTHER SERVICE out there. Can't really say I'm all that sad my account is getting purged either. Slightly miffed that one of my LPs won't be available in decent quality but still not that sad about it.

Lazyfire posted:I lurk the hell out of every LP I watch, barely ever posting more than a "I'm enjoying this, keep up the good work" a few videos into the thread and then just catching up on the thread from there on. Sometimes there isn't much you can say about the game if you haven't played it, and a lot of the time questions you would have about functions and items in the game are answered in the video they appear. I think people lurking threads don't often see a chance to join the conversation about the game or the videos, and that can lead to low post numbers in a thread. Yeah this is me as well, even if I tend to avoid the "Keep up the good work" thing because to me it feels like a bit of empty posting and only really post if I want to comment on something in the thread or the videos. Of course when I ran my own LP I was almost overly reply happy that I almost got worried about it sometimes and would try to cut it down. Having too much free time on your hands and wanting to seems active and trying to please most people is perhaps not the best combination at times.

TheMcD posted:I haven't been around that long (as might be self-evident) but from what I've seen, this behavior seems to be in line with any sort of LPs of larger RPGs as well. The same thing (albeit a bit less intense) seems to happen in Lizard Wizard's Oblivion LP. Combine that with Id doing the LP, and it was pretty much inevitable this kind of stuff would happen. Or any major game title LP. I mean aside from the puns going out of control a couple of times the Last of Us LP has been locked for more or less the same reasons as the Fallout one at least once. Feels like I missed out when I did Halo.

Depends really, I recall my bout of LPing lived on the fact it was the Halo games and there wasn't that much response for the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory thread as I recall, then again it's hard to make an LP showing a stealth game off really interesting. The HAWX ones lived and thrived on the fact that they games were really drat dumb in their plot writing so it was partly mocking that and some airplane chat as well.

So as you might be aware, YT is apparently striking down hard on monetizing gaming channels. http://www.vg247.com/2013/12/11/99-of-youtube-gaming-channels-will-die-soon-copyright-strike-barrage-discussed/ So how much schadenfreude/epicaricacy am I allowed to feel from this? Even if people like PPD are exempt because he has a partnership going. And a part of me wonders how much this will affect us as well. I haven't gotten any notions recently, mostly because I still haven't uploaded any of my stuff from blip yet (out of sheer laziness mostly) but this makes me wonder if I should even bother.

Then again I shouldn't really comment on intros since I was guilty of adding them to the last couple of LPs I did.
