The thread actually started off pretty strongly with solid games like Psycho Waluigi. Really you'll just have to browse through and see for yourself. I suggest starting from the top of the OP and going until your eyes bleed

Before and After The Sequel were both not nearly as bad as Epoch. Still not quite up to "good" or even "worth the time it takes to download and play", but better than that.... thing.

Eggman Hates Furries is a Sonic fangame (LP'ed in the fangame thread, even!), that, while still terrible in many, many ways, has some quite fun and ridiculous sections to play, and is so utterly batshit that it's worth the hour(?) or so you might take getting through it. I enjoyed it when I played just for the sheer absurdity of the whole thing, and it's reasonably fast-paced with lots of checkpoints if you'd like to try it yourself, but if you're not into the idea of playing a questionable Sonic fangame with bizarre, uncomfortable, self-aware humor, bad platforming, and frustrating bosses (which comprise 90% of the gameplay), just hop over to the fangames thread and give it a look. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3595795

I did watch BtS and Eggman Hates Furries. They kind of made my brain hurt. I'll admit that Epoch is actually the worst I've seen, but I'm sure there are lower depths to sink to.

Ah, well, if you're actually looking for a good game, there are a few romhacks that are reasonable, but the overwhelming majority of independently-programmed Sonic fangames are unrelentingly bad, which is most of the entertainment appeal of LP'ing them. If you really disliked them that much, about all I can recommend for sure out of the fangames thread is Psycho Waluigi, which is actually a decent game using a hilarious non-character in a surprisingly good way. WAH

Major_JF posted:With the movie Earthquake there was a subwoofer installed under every seat at the theaters. Which could deform fetuses if you watched while pregnant. They Might Be Giants wrote a song about that. It confuses the hell out of me that a song about a deformed fetus was written for the Power Rangers movie for some reason, and it's ONLY available on its soundtrack despite not appearing in the movie (given none of the rangers were deformed fetuses).

I like how the AI difficulty can be measured in frequency of "???" guesses rather than wrong answers. I mean I guess it makes sense but it still seems kind of stupid. Also, I never thought I'd get to see this beautiful face again.

Chapter 9 Side Mission - Supply Depot Does anyone even watch these from the thread anymore or am I wasting my time posting this?  e: Just to be clear I just mean posting in the thread. I'd still be making the videos either way as I know people do watch them. Catsworth fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Nov 25, 2014 |

I think it's mostly just that this thread doesn't generate much conversation in relation to the influx of videos. Like you guys could probably generate more discussion and not worry about people being hard on the casual approach if you just started your own threads. But that's just a thought on my part; still enjoying the videos either way.

A lot of stuff in here isn't any worse than LPs that get their own threads really.

I like the idea of some of these videos getting their own thread. What qualifies things as 2007-worthy and not? Effort? I don't know how I'd 2007-ify my Pikmin LP, if that makes any sense.

One thing I do like about this thread is that I can hop into it and know that all of the videos will be of a certain carefree attitude. It's kind of hard to find LPs like that among all of the other threads in the Let's Play forum. That said though, a lot of these LPs are pretty much good enough to warrant their own topic.

I don't know how I'd 2007-ify my Pikmin LP, if that makes any sense. This thread was originally a response to the Blasting Zone, where people were writing essays about the state of LP. There was never any sort of guideline to 2007-ifying a video, it's just about having fun with LP. While there are a number of LPs here that could easily support their own thread, like Dead Space, I think there is a certain appeal about a thread like this. A lot of LPs by newcomers to the forums tend to get largely ignored by most people in favor of the "superstars"; in my mind it's better to post videos in a thread like this, than to start your own thread and be the only one posting in it. Another angle is not having to worry about the "standards" of the "LP Community". Personally, I had been wanting to do Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for a while before this thread came about, but never did because I thought there was no way my style of LPing could "do the game justice". If nothing else this thread allowed me to just say "gently caress it" and go ahead with it. Moral of the story: Just have fun.

Pretty much this. I've considered making a thread for an LP before, but between my own technical ineptitude and worrying about ending up 'screaming into a void' as it were, I've stuck to megathreads. I kind of wish the subforum were more open to the 2007-ish, more casual style in general, but that topic tends to turn into a 5 page cordon area.

I like this thread for pretty much the same reason as Danaru said. I'm pretty incompetent and I usually run out of things to talk about related to the game so I rant with Jin about robots.

Next thing I do I definitely will, though. I didn't mean to start a thing but it was kind of disheartening not getting any responses. As long as people are enjoying them then that's all I care about but I do appreciate the response.

poo poo yeah man I've loved every video you've posted here. Keep it up. Plus a few others here, if a game is too painful to watch (like the sonic one no offence to the guys who did it) I'll just stop. I really like this casual LP megathread.
