This isn't the first topic about this subject, but: who of you watch "let's play" videos on youtube? And which game do you think deserves it the most to be made into a "let's play" video?

I'm more into THESE... but anything about Orion Burger has to be interesting, so... I'd watch one about it.

I've grown pretty fond of LPs (only just got into them the past year) and if I had to pick from that list, Orion Burger gets my vote.

Ones that should have LPs with the right commentator:

-Eric the Unready
-Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment
-Teen Agent

Best LP I've seen is Paw Dugan's King's Quest V, it totally RUINED me for other LP videos after that and is seriously one of the funniest things I've seen on the 'net in a long time. One of my other favorites is the Phantasmagoria LP done by Resulka and hercrabbiness, it gives you double the snarky commentary on the campy production values (I still keep snickering at "bedtroll" and find myself using this word far more often since I saw the first few videos of it!)
If you want to know the Bible's contents, just watch Lord of the Rings or listen to the last 8 Blind Guardian albums. It's pretty much the same thing.

Speaking of Let's Play, anyone got good adventure games Let's Play to suggest me? I found out I have an easier time falling asleep watching LPs but after Paw, Rose and Lordkat's King's Quest V, Quest For Glory I and Space Quest II, Kikoskia and Amayirot Akago's Space Quest LPs and Frankomatic's King's Quest VI, I'm all out of idea. I tried a couple Leisure Suit Larry and Police Quest but the players didn't bother reading the text out loud or showing the hilarious deaths, same thing with a bunch of LucasArts games.

In my opinion, a good LP should have a funny player who'll poke fun at the game, read the text out loud if there's no speech, show as many death as possible, accidentally or not and examine or interact with useless objects, watching someone just go for the puzzles is boring, I prefer when players played the game before but forgot the solutions and you can watch them stumble around, with no idea what to do. I think that's why Paw's King's Quest V was so hilarious. Anyway, if you know adventure games LPs that fit the bill, just say so.

Resulka's LPs (and she's got a lot of em) are really good-- I love what she did with Return to Zork, Gabriel Knight, and the LSL1 VGA one with LateBlt just to name a few. Hercrabbiness has lots of good ones, but I think the best was Laura Bow 2 since she shows various paths and deaths plus some extras towards the end.

Paw's KQ5 LP totally ruined me for other LPs though, the King Swayze thing totally had me braying like a jackass.
If you want to know the Bible's contents, just watch Lord of the Rings or listen to the last 8 Blind Guardian albums. It's pretty much the same thing.
