Last Transmission posted:I'd like to recommend your evil twin's LP of the 2009 Wolfenstein game. It is almost over so now is the perfect time to watch the backlog in time for the finale. Everyone should watch this LP, it's great and I adore his little killing spree montages. As an aside, the mod really makes the game feel very retro and "Return to Castle Wolfenstein-ey" in the best possible way.

I would like to plug the thread No Dine. No Knox. No Fair. No [Color]. Let's Play Umineko no Naku Koro Ni! by Shiny777. It is a sound novel (which, as I understand it, is a visual novel with an emphasis on the soundtrack) with no real interactivity at all. Most of that goes on in your own head as your try to wrap it around the things that are going on. At its heart, it's a murder mystery/whodunnit that deals with the intricacies of family and the occult. I think people who are enjoying the Dangan Ronpa threads, or games like Pheonix Wright, 999, or Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward might be into it. This isn't usually my type of thing at all, but I am glad I gave the thread a chance, because as things pick up, they really pick up. Just understand it essentially is a novel at heart, and so exciting things don't start happening right away. But there are a lot of characters and things to establish, and I think the authors and translators have done a surprisingly good job so far. And most, uh, 'anime creepiness' seems to get out of the way pretty early. It is still relatively early on--the thread plans to cover two games of four episodes each, and twenty-one sizable updates in, and we are still only in the middle of the first. So it is early enough to catch up if you set aside a few hours to read through it all. The updates haven't always been frequent, but maybe if some more people check it out and get into the discussion it could pick up.

It's just going to take time. There's a couple people that have already cracked the hardware, it won't be much longer before someone decides to start working on an emulator. It may take another year or three, but I'd be surprised if we didn't see one, even if it'll be poo poo to start with.

Some LPs for handhelds have been done without emulators, the Ouendan games come to mind. Of course they're a bit of a special case. Also you should watch those LPs because they're great with a lot of catchy music and badass stylus skills. Especially this one, the fact that nobody could get it out of their heads became a gag for a short while in the thread itself.

I recall a person who will install capture hardware on the 3DS, allowing you to capture 3DS video (in 2D of course) on your PC. Of course, it's also very expensive, so it's really only an option for those with a lot of money to burn.

JosephWongKS' Choice of Kung Fu thread is great fun, with explanations for terms and a resident master of creating Chinese proverbs. With the help of the people participating in the thread he's turned what could be an incredibly boring LP into one that I've been checking obsessively. Overall, it's a great thread full of great people, and I think many people would enjoy learning of the Way of the Panda. It's not an epic that takes hours to read, but it's fun and the updates are incredibly quick.

First, I'm looking for an LP I read over a year ago. It was mostly text with images (that were all broken by the time I got to the thread) and the game was this crappily translated Russian horror where a disease was killing people in this town that was shaped like a pig. You played one of 3 characters sent to investigate the disease. I remember it having very frustrating and difficult gameplay and being very unforgiving, but the whole concept of the game was super interesting. Does anyone remember this game, and/or can you suggest an LP similar to it? I was reminded of it by Dark Souls, which has similarly frustrating gameplay.

I know this game has three characters and it's Russian, so that's what makes me think it's what you want. Edit: Beaten like a red-headed step child.

Supergreatfriend is steaming 999 on Saturdays right now I think you can find that and the previous recordings here, and there are completed LPs of the company's other games, Ever17 and Remember11, that are sitting in the limbo where their threads are archived but they are not up on lparchive yet.

Yeah, it's not an official LP of the game but it's been pretty fun to watch/participate in, and I don't think anyone would oppose recommending SGF's offsite stuff here.

...I gotta say, I am really skeptical of a 999 video stream. I mean, the game has a lot of text for a screenshot Let's Play. I'll watch in a bit, but that's a tough sell to me, I'm sorry.

I just got the last two endings in 999 last night, and dude, that's not even a Let's Play at that point. I'm a fast reader and the last ending still took me like at least 3 hours of reading to finish up or something.

Might be nice to have a full run through of Pathologic with all three characters. I mean, given that the gameplay is atrocious it would take huge amounts of patience to do so I'm not really expecting anyone to do it, but I think it would be cool, given how many good things I've heard about the game.

Thanks for the speedy as hell replies with Pathologic, guys! I would like to see a full run through as well. As far as I know, between the LP Archives and the one on the forums, two out of three characters have been played all the way through. Does anyone know of LPs of games that are similar? Something heavily story-driven and/or with really interesting gameplay?

I've played the game multiple times now, and I have been watching the streams while I do other stuff and it's been fine., but I don't think it is a very good way to experience the game. I just sort of like SGF's approach a lot, but the chat full of people all seem to have been expecting something else and it gets off to a rough start. Once things start really happening, it all starts to work a bit better, but by then nearly 4 hours of chat have gone by. I always think of streaming as a more convenient version of showing a friend a cool game you have been playing when they come over.. "Hey, look at this cool game for a minute." 999 is absolutely not that game. Your mileage may vary, but I wouldn't really recommend it to people who are looking to see what the game is about. It'll give a not so hot first impression.

discount dogs posted:Thanks for the speedy as hell replies with Pathologic, guys! You might want to check out CannibalK9's VLP of The Void, the second game from Icepick Lodge, who developed Pathologic. Except they translated The Void in house, so it doesn't have the, ah, unique linguistic stylings of Pathologic. And I don't know that there really needs to be a single LP that does a complete run of all three Pathologic characters. The most difficult one's already been covered (the "Devotress"), and by someone (woodenchicken) who understood the Russian so could provide a more natural and intelligible translation. The original Pathologic LP (the Bachelor's route) by Brass Monkey was also excellent and would cover that character pretty thoroughly if the images could be salvaged and the LP itself added to the Archive. That leaves either one route that no one has ever successfully completed, or that plus a redo on the Bachelor if Brass Monkey's original run can't be recovered.

So this is going to be the vaguest request ever but I'm looking for video LPs that are legitimately funny. I don't really care if the gameplay or story is good, I just want to watch videos that make laugh. I have a lot of respect for Let's Plays that try to be humorous, but I find most of them fall flat for me. I really loved the Mercenaries 2 LP that Lithuanian Dad and Dan did, as well as the Tipping 40s Goldene Eye LP.

ThornBrain usually works with slower games, like Zelda and the 3D Bomberman games. But if you give him and his crew something silly and fast-paced, magic happens. It's pretty funny, is what I'm getting at.

You could always go back to the Freelance Astronauts and their Twilight Princess run. That's pretty good.

Wii LP was great too, as is the Mass Effect one. You need to watch at least the first three or four videos of Mass Effect, after that things wind down a bit. Finally, if you don't hate D&D 4E there's the ongoing thread with Syrg as DM. He's the anything goes style of DM and the players like take advantage of that fairly often. There's a rather large backlog (massive if you go through the first thread, but you don't have to) and a lot of extra content (Gen. Ironicus' 13th Age run is pretty amazing and has most of the same players with a couple extra) so it's great if you just want to throw something on in the background, whether that's the podcasts or videos.

Speaking of funny, though not in the same vein as RChimp or ThornBrain, but it seems that Yahtzee is doing video LP's of horrid adventure games and they're actually quite fun to watch. I'd say it's worth checking out his channel is you enjoy his humor: http://www.youtube.com/user/yahtzee19?feature=g-high-rec especially with how well he works off his friend Gabe.

Since it seems it's drat near impossible to give 4 good friends a multiplayer game that seemingly encourages dicking each other over and not end up with a hilarious LP.

Does anyone know that video someone did making fun of Let's Plays of people like AVGN and others by being over-the-top and having a stupid voice and things of that nature? I can't seem to remember what it was. I think it was Mario or something, and it was the only video he did when a lot of people wanted him to do more.
