1Two new LetsPlayers to the scene, they are Website/YouTube users [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Drak2326 Drak2326]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ShadowBlazer3000 ShadowBlazer 3000]] (formerly known as Shadow Alex on [=YouTube=] before his account was suspended). Both are long-time players gathering together to play games they enjoy and make Lets Plays of them. As they have recently started out, their content is slowly starting to build up with a few finished plays on their channel and both are slowly gaining views around [=YouTube=], mostly based on close friends subscribing and watching. Both have their own tastes but a common and shared affinity for {{Role Playing Game}}s and {{Platform Game}}s. Drak in particular enjoys AdventureGames such as those developed by the former Creator/LucasArts company (''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'' in particular) Shadow loves the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise.

3Both love to attempt to start {{Meme}}s and {{Catch Phrase}}s whether or not they catch on, both like to keep their [=LPs=] [[GoshDangItToHeck family]] [[NotInFrontOfTheKid friendly]] though the slips of foul language aren't unheard of either. Their other interests which [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny seep into their LPs]] also include films and {{Anime}}. Although they are branded as a LP channel, they also border into Commentary territory as their games are generally non-exhaustive-non-completion [=LPs=] they generally play a game start to finish doing the simple requirements.

5Their channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/drakandshadow right here]], they publish three videos per week, every week. They also have a [[https://twitter.com/DrakandShadowLP Twitter]].

57!!Their Let's Plays and other videos provide examples of:
58
59* AnythingButThat: Shadow had to really work to convince Drak to do an LP of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006, Drak was naturally apprehensive about it.
60* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Both often [[LampShadeHanging acknowledge]] their frequent bouncing in their conversations of most other topics. Their ''Shadows of the Empire'' LP featured a lot of talk of other ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise material, their ''Phantasy Star'' LP became packed with ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' talk and even ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' talk by the end of it.
61* BuffySpeak
62* CatchPhrase:
63-->Drak: ''It's platforming, it's platforming.''
64* ClusterFBomb: Many times during the Sonic 06 LP.
65* LetsSplitUpGang: Drak and Shadow both maintain their own channels with their own content. Shadow in particular reviews the anime he's watched, Drak has recently started his own solo LP of VideoGame/FinalFantasyMysticQuest.
66* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Averted, they usually call each other by their first names, being Adam and Alex.
67* MeaningfulName: Their names come from two game franchises and characters they paticularly like. Shadow picking his from the Sonic character VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog.
68* ShoutOut: Shadow usually likes to pay tribute to the other LP channels he follows, such as LetsPlay/ClementJ642, WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries, and WebVideo/SomeCallMeJohnny and loves to quote Website/TVTropes. Both have given tribute and nods to those at Website/ChannelAwesome and the SuperBeardBrothers. And don't go into how much they talk about the other stuff they follow...
69* WaxingLyrical: Often
