Minecraft Let's Plays

[hoboman29]

I think let's plays made it more popular or at least make people consider buying it I find it relaxing to watch let's plays

I think the reason I got it wasn't because of LPs, but various things other sites did that I visited every other week. TF2's blog, VG Cats, and of course the Escapist.

However, I doubt it would've gotten this popular without the LPers.

This is what a typical Minecraft LP is like, except it's usually without the excellent commentary by ChipCheezum and General Ironicus. Can anyone here tell me they honestly find this piece of shit good? MAKE MY DAY, SAY IT.

Its not to my taste for sure, but hey if people watch it then it passes the test... So it must have something.

Personally most Minecraft LP's annoy me because people always seem to start their LP without much prior knowledge of the game. So I see them making stupid decisions and it really grates on my COD sensibilities.... Especially as I have a meta game where I spawn new worlds and try to make a house plus full set of iron tools + bed before nightfall, which I manage most of the time... so seeing someone take several hours to get to that point is...


ARRRRGHH

Yogscast is the exception because they're actually pretty funny.

Personally I picked up minecraft because of people on this forum going on about it... the LP's came later for me.
