My girlfriend and I LOVE watching LPs together, but we've watched a few already and we're running out a little bit!

So far we've watched pretty much everything Pork lift and Wateyad have done, 20 Years of Sonic, the Super Best Friends LP of Indigo Prophecy and we got partway through Geop's Dark Souls run. We tried the FFX LP in the archives (I cannot remember who did it though) because we're both huge fans of the game but we had to stop because we got more angry than we should have at the liberal use of "human being" and now we're not really sure what else to watch!

It might be obvious but we tend to like longer LPs, with a less than serious commentary style, closer to an MST3K riff session than an informative, completionist LP. We don't care if its blind or not, but blind tends to be funnier for the more natural reactions to silly things happening.

20 Years of Sonic has been our favourite so far because we both love Keith and Kyle and we both appreciate that while they'll riff on a game when it deserves it, they will also talk about parts they genuinely liked, even if the rest of the game is terrible. I really wanted her to watch the Two Worlds LP that hbomb and Organic Robot did but blip took it down and the dropbox hosting is almost always down. We're also watching through Niggurath's Disaster LP and enjoying it a lot, but as its still ongoing its not something we can just sit and watch together in a few sittings. I tried to show her Kaubocks and Panzer Skank's Saints Row 2 LP but since she's not a huge fan of the game itself, she lost interest pretty quickly.

Any suggestions, guys and gals?

You should also really check out pretty much everything at http://kilobops.ladderface.net/ as they are wonderfully funny people who have made a lot of great LPs including of some longer games (I think Assassin's Creed II was the longest of what they've done, but if you like Tabletop RPG LPs, they have a bunch of stuff there too which is just phenomenal.)

I already posted about it, but I'm gonna have to recommend everybody watch Kaubocks and Panzer Skank's LP of Saints Row 2 that just finished. It's seriously one of the funniest LPs I've seen since Mercenaries 2, and that's saying a lot.

Seconding this. The game is built on chaos and the two of them seem to attract it in ever-increasing waves. If you're going in blind and don't know the game's story, just watch the video playlist before reading through the OP, which will spoil much of it, but following the thread along with the videos is highly recommended.

Both of them know and have played the game before, but long enough ago that they're able to be surprised by it, and the editing keeps things moving along. Most LPs of this series end up watching the players run or drive through town for most of it, but you get just the highlights here.

Plus it has skateboards and puppy trains.

My understanding is that his handling of the Animal Crossing LP was what got his foot in the door. My understanding could be flawed, of course, but that's what it is.

Ho ho, my legend grows!

I wrote Animal Crossing a million years ago while I was working at BioWare (as an environment artist), but as far as I know it's unrelated to my success on Kickstarter and subsequently The Banner Saga. Plus everybody forgets to mention "Aw gently caress, Dinosaurs!". I do like to think all the LPs made me a little better at writing, though.

ProfessorProf's doing a very good job on the LP! Highly recommended!

There's also a Republic thread, linked from the Imperial one, featuring Dolash, Inferior, Ferrosol and Brainamp.

For example, Punch-Out or Super Mario Bros. with commentary about the history of the game or stuff people might not realize, etc, etc.

TheMcD's LP of Unterwegs in Dusterberg needs more love. It's a German RPG Maker game, and it's actually a solid game for a solo labor of love. TheMcD's translating the entire thing line by line, and he's doing a good job. If you like 16 bit RPGs and SSLPs you should give it a shot.

Yeah we talked about it last page but that LP cannot be recommended enough. The game oozes love and care and TheMcD does a great job of running down all the loose change of the game. And even better, you're guaranteed to have not played the game if you can't speak German! Seriously high class stuff.

Is there a good goon-made LP of Mass Effect 2? LParchive gives no results, just wondering if anyone did one and it didn't get archived for some reason.

Hell, even if it's only mostly complete and it's still floating around Youtube or wherever.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good video LP of Nier.

I followed about DarkId's screenshot LP a few years ago, and played through the game for myself soon after, but I have been itching to experience it all again. Or passively listen to it in the background. Hopefully something low key and informative?
