Ever wanted to watch a Let's Play of a certain game but had a hard time finding a good LP of it? Ever just want to watch a new and interesting LPer? Then this is the thread for you!

To start off, I've been wanting to find a LP of Mario And Luigi Superstar Saga for a while. I played through most of the game a while ago, but then I got stuck and eventually forgot even where I was in the game, so I'd like to find an entertaining LP of the game so I can see what I missed in it.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

The one I like is this: http://lparchive.org/A-Scotsman-In-Egypt/

It's more a series of pdf files than flash video but it is brutally entertaining. I keep meaning to try and see if I can replicate what that guy does for myself.

[up]Those were just filler in between No More Heroes 2, weren't they?

Edit: All I typed in there was NoMoreHeroes2...that custom title seems unnecessary.

I hadn't actually watched that LP since I haven't played or seen No More Heroes, and, well, it makes sense to see/play the first before the sequel, no?

Spoony's Phantasmagoria 2 LP is probably the closest to a MSTing the genre's ever come.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

I dunno, slowbeef and Diabetus's LPs of Dead To Rights and Dead to Rights: Retribution are pretty riffy, and I'm sure there's plenty of LPs like that out there.
Still, though, Spoony's Phantasmagoria 2 is pretty funny.

Jacksepticeye is pretty good he is also funny; He mainly started out playing Indie/Horror titles but he also plays GTAV and multiple FPS (Metro Last Light, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 4). He also plays some titles with Occulus Rift.

The Creatures are the guys who introduced me to Let's Plays and they're all really funny guys. Among the eight of them, you're bound to find a series you're interested in.

Um... Also I make Let's Plays sometimes under the name Its Stevo Hooray. Please don't hate me for my shameless self-promotion.

You guys like Let's Plays? You guys like shameless plugs? Well, come on down!

Since someone already recommended Chip and ironicus, I'll recommend Niggurath! His wheel house is basically horror games that think outside of the box and he's pretty great.

I don't even like Terraria, but I think this is the best Let's Play of all time.

[up][up] I'll have to look him up. Danke schoen. :D

Rose Erifnosi is quite possibly my favourite LPer. She plays dark-and-artsy games, for the most part, despite describing herself as the biggest scaredy-cat you'll ever meet, and her commentary is fantastic - she has the charmingest voice, she's entertaining to listen to even when she has nothing special to add, and when she does... well, she psychoanalyses her way through The Path and Alice: Madness Returns.

I was looking for potential ways to jumping into Metal Gear back in December, and I accidentally found a recommendation for Chip and Ironicus on Deviant Art, and yeah, I think they were great with those. They're also how I ended up liking the Uncharted series, and hopefully I can see a couple more of their things when I get the time.

In regards to my own recommendations, well—if I had to pick, Jerma985. He's a pretty funny dude who mostly does TF2 and the occasional GTA and miscellaneous games, and I enjoy a good number of his Casual Commentary videos where he just talks about whatever's on his mind at the time.

Pink Kitty Rose! grin

She's currently doing Mega Man X 3. Here's the first video.

If you want to hear what she sounds like, then you may want to watch her LP of A Link To The Past (with Roahm Mythril) instead.

I have another one. It's really hilarious, although to watch this one you need to:

A) Be warned that it contains spoilers for the Ace Attorney series.

B) Know that it's a hentai game called "Phoenix Drive", which has been listed on this wiki under Good Bad Translation and So Bad, It's Good. That said, it is a hentai game, and although the NSFW footage isn't shown (replaced instead by crude drawings and, for one particularly squicky part, just by "NO" in very large letters), some people might not like hearing descriptions of what's going on.

Anyhoo, here's the link:

Both Chuggaaconroy and SullyPwns has very different styles of playing the game. I prefer Chugga's for him not spoiling as much kinda. Sure, I know things already, but Sully's Captain Obvious and telling what will happen before it happens doesn't go well with me, but that's me, maybe you'll like it. Chugga is a bit more personal and doesn't tell of what'll happen and tells his childhood memories of playing the game instead. Lucah Jin played it too, so if you wanna see a blind let's play, maybe it'll fit your tastes.

I'm looking for a video -review or -retrospective of the old PC game Shadowcaster. Does anyone know of one that's fair, informed, and engaging?
