do single segment lets plays with a timer count?

Yes. Speedruns count. Congrats on doing a bunch of LPs.

I would actually like mini-LPs that were speedruns of glitchy games w/ explanations of what's going on and what the glitches mean, cosmo did a really good one explaining reverse bottle adventure

interest check: a spergmodo dwarf fort game with subforum involvement in decisions made and dwarves named after posters

i'd like a dwarf fortress lp done like the king of dragon pass one that was in this forum because a lot of dwarf fortress stuff is hilarious but even more of it is boring

nowadays the best way to make a lp is to stream it and have guests and then post the streams if they're good later with minimal editing

I sorta want to LP Majesty but it'll be really flawed and tasteless crapola

Also it would be screenshot text LP but that would take effort unlike doing a stream

do it as post commentary and fastforward all the boring parts so it's like 10x speed except when you want to explain something or show off a sweet battle or show off what's unique on a level

The most important element of any good MGS let's play is "shhh, you have to pay attention to this part, it's really important later"

any time you have a game with long rear end cutscenes the best thing to do if you have funny/interesting things to say is just to turn subtitles on.

If I'm going to Let's Play a PC game, what do you guys recommend for capture software? I figured I could use something simple like Audacity for audio, but for video it seems like there are a few options and I'm not sure what the best one is.

OBS is the best. Shadowplay is good. Fraps is okay.
