 Welcome to the Casual Let's Play thread, formerly the 2007 LP thread! Relax, chill out, and enjoy some low-effort but high-quality LP's by your friends and mine.  This thread is for people who don't want to go the extra mile to spit-shine their LP to perfection, or get caught up in editing for hours on end. If you want to post your LP just to entertain people and aren't concerned with being informative, drop it here! Did you record a whole game live or do a live stream that you think is worth saving for posterity? Chop it up into chunks and post it here! Basically: If you don't want to make a thread for your LP, this is the thread for you.   If you're asking, the answer is yes. The subforum's usual standards of quality are significantly loosened here, so if you're nervous about it or are unsure, just go for it. What do you have to lose, anyway?  There's only really one rule: Please don't debate the ethics/social effects/etc of having a casual LP thread here. If you must, do that in the Sandcastle, where LP subforum-related discussion is usually had. Also don't bother calling somebody out on what is/isn't a casual LP, nobody cares. If someone makes a bad LP then it'll be ignored and they'll stop posting. But it's hard to make a bad LP anyway so don't worry about it. Other than that, good luck and have fun!

 I'll start things off with the first episode of Shovel Knight! Today our hero begins his adventure and sets out for the Tower of Fate to defeat the Enchantress and save his beloved, Shield Knight.

I'm violently ill! Here's an episode of Shovel Knight! On this episode, Shovel Knight liberates Pridemoor Keep and the Lich Yard, defeating King Knight and Specter Knight, a dastardly duo that stand in the way of his path to the tower.

Spudd posted:But will you actually finish an LP of Shovel Knight because so far everyone just seems to give up pretty early on. Yes!  Today, Shovel Knight takes on the incredibly wealthy diver-pirate Treasure Knight, then prepares for his journey further into the second third of the Order of No Quarter's territory. Along the way, he meets a Kickstarter-based threat that will surely test his mettle.

anilEhilated posted:I know Reize (and his boomerang) shows up in Valdis Story, anything else that guy forced himself into? Valdis Story and Shovel Knight are the only two so far, but his... ahem, dedication to the character is perhaps a bit out of the ordinary. Also he's kind of a jerk. We will meet all 4 of the kickstarter backer boss fights before the end of the LP. There's actually one more director for a day tier backer, but he designed an enemy type instead of a boss fight.

Actually, water really isn't that good at letting light true. In the sea, it's already pitch black like 50 or 100 meters down. Doesn't have much to do with density.

 Deep, deep underground lies the den of the appropriately-named Mole Knight and his army of magic fireballs and instant death lava. Will Shovel Knight be able to take the heat?? (yes. yes he can. i mean how else would he fight plague knight afterward?)

 Today Shovel Knight deals with Tinker Knight and his old friend Polar Knight, the only two members of the Order of No Quarter left to stand in his way of the tower. Then, he begins his ascent.

Well alright, maybe they didn't conform to it all that well, but they mimic-ed it well enough which I think is cool in its own way. Good effort post Hyper Crab Tank! And, I dunno if I'm doing the DLC. I might, because it's fun! But I also might not because it could lead to frustration because it's pretty hard. I am definitely thinking about it though.

Shovel Knight's visual style is probably best described as, "NES aesthetic without the physical limitations". edit: Also, I decided I'm not going to do the plague knight expansion. I really don't like the gameplay so I don't think it'd make for very good videos even though the writing is still top notch. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Nov 21, 2015 |

Ah-ha. That's why I was confused when you said in the other thread that it was a subtitled VLP after I said it was commentary-less. Because, due to a comedy of errors, it IS commentary-less!

You get one copy of the story voice lines but twice as much "C'moooon where did I put my bullets dammit!" Man, this game looks like fun, I can't wait for the christmas sale so I can buy it.

Thank you for the avatar inspiration, FeyerbrandX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Rl9p2S-Uo The world was fast asleep. It was a seemingly normal night until a UFO came into view. It beamed and zapped almost everything around it while the happy critters slept in their homes. There was a bobcat, Bubsy, clutching his prized yarn ball handed down from his grandmother. He then sensed a disturbance and woke up suddenly, rubbing his eye. He looked before him and things seemed really out-of-place in the natural order of the world. He saw a UFO zapping and stealing fabric all around the neighborhood. "Oh no, they might want my yarn ball collection!" Bubsy cried, holding his yarn ball close. The aliens ascended from the ship, looking like the strangest creatures you ever saw. No arms, but giant feet with curly strands of hair like antenna with big button noses and cheeks. They could form cheese wheels with their powers and throw eggs. Bubsy was deeply lactose intolerant and was allergic to eggs. The aliens even started to control the animals of the forest. "I guess it's up to me to save the world," Bubsy called bravely. "What could paws-ibly go wrong?"

Uillillia is super into Bubsy, yes, it's the basis for his whole platform masters game. What he likes about it is that it's got this weird unique physics engine (for the time), where you can build up momentum and then rocket off into the stratosphere by using the force from jumping while moving quickly on an incline. On the one hand, I think that's also pretty cool, but on the other hand it has done absolutely nothing but get me killed so I can't give Bubsy too much credit for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR40CdbZdW8 Bubsy stared out over the lake, his weary eyes bagged and heavy. He'd been traveling for days now. His fur was matted to his forehead, the sweat of the desert heat still lingering on his skin. Fists clenched, he found his legs weighed a ton apiece, and spent some time staring down upon the rippling water. He could at least afford that much rest to himself. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying still to will away the onset of a headache. He blamed the trains; their horns too loud, wheels grinding along the decades-old tracks. He blamed the mountain air, tightening his blood vessels and quickening his heartbeat as it pounded in his ears with anticipation. He blamed those creatures; their sickening laughter. The 'woolies'. They were as aliens. Though they appeared to be flesh and blood- some kind of animal never seen by furred-kind -they couldn't have been. Upon defeat they simply vanished into dust, as if they had never existed in the first place. it didn't make sense. Natural life did not work that way. Their vaguely rabbit-like appearance unnerved Bubsy; he had friends who were hares themselves. Every time he struck one down it felt like he was assaulting the familiar. He stared then at the gray dust specks beneath his claws and felt dissonant. Closing his paw back into a fist, he managed the strength to stand. No matter what these creatures truly were, Bubsy would defeat them. Or at least, that idea had gotten him this far. He'd always fancied himself an adventurer, a hero. "Heroes don't give up," he told himself. In the back of his mind, where his headache laid thumping hammers again and again in rhythm, a tiny voice told him that perhaps he should. Somewhere far away, beneath the lake and beyond, the ritual was nearing completion. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Jan 19, 2016 |
