| I used to like them, and then I saw this and now my standards are too high
or, really I just stopped but it sounds better to compliment someone |

| I used to watch video Let's Plays somewhat frequently, but I stopped pretty much entirely some time ago. I found that there were only very few people who were good at that sort of thing, and even those select few can only be interesting for so long.
There was also some sort of nonsense going on that promoted conflict between the YouTube Let's Players that also drove me away from them, but I don't really remember much about that. Despite all that, I'll still watch the occasional retsuprae video, though. Anyway, I find that I actually enjoy Let's Plays that involve reading more than the typical Let's Play. Examples of this include Xkeeper's "Let's Watch" videos, that particular Animal Crossing Let's Play, and that particular Dwarf Fortress let's play. Why do I like these better? My best guess is that in such formats, Let's Plays can be well planned out so they can avoid suffering from any of the "lows" that improvisation inevitably generates on occasion, resulting in something consistently interesting. This can also add things that would otherwise be incredibly difficult to do in a typical Let's Play, such as the technical explanations in Let's Watch Link's Awakening and the injection of a unique interpretation of the game's story in that particular Animal Crossing Let's Play, making it much more intriguing than some improvised rambling... Next time, I'll delve into the mystery of how I like my Let's Plays well planned out as opposed to improvised, yet I prefer the typical Whose Line Is It Anyway? sketch to even the most renowned comedy routines. |

 I used to be really into humorous LP's, not so much now.
Some favorites off of the top of my head: Out of this World 1 & 2 by Thello (video + audio commentary) Animal Crossing and Oregon Trail by Chewbot (screenshot) Anything by Diabetus (video + audio commentary) Star Fox 64 by Concordat (video + captions) Shadowgate by Look Polish (screenshot) Uninvited by Psychodude (screenshot) Ghouls n Ghosts by Wolfshirt (video). He did another great LP of Hybrid Heaven but I can't find it. ____________________ |

I like a lot of LP's, though I prefer text/screenshot ones. Mostly because people making bad jokes over gameplay seem to be the most annoying sound--right after nails on blackboard.
I really do recommend Nakar's play-through of the ultima games to anyone though. He takes the role of a female avatar, and completely bends the game to his will. (And still ends up with good karma!) It gives a voice to the mostly voiceless main character, and shows plenty of informative information about the games. Ultima 4, 5 and 6 - 6 is really funny and sets up jokes for later LPs. Martian Dreams - Takes place after 6, makes a few references to 4/5. Ultima 7 - The poor game never knew what hit it. Ultima 7 Part II - The Avatar gets banished, and a whole new place does not know what hit it. ____________________     |

Kikoskia reviewed both Action 52 games and made them entertaining so he's definitely worth watching. ____________________ "I worship the sun... but I pray to Joe Pesci." - George Carlin |

| I don't usually watch them because I really don't want to listen to filler information that is obviously on the fly and trying to buy time. I like my Let's Plays a little more organized. Therefore, when I start doing them, I'm going to do a sound overlay on them using my Skype mic and recording the dialogue myself. ____________________ |
