So I'm doing an LP on Torchlight...

[Toasty Virus]

...and It's my first LP.

So I was just wondering if anybody here has had any experience in the area and could give me some advice.

Thanks in advance.

Try and make it funny and watchable. If it's just you playing the game people may lose interest.

Luckily humour (is apparently) one of my strong points, as is the ability to talk to myself for prolonged periods of time

Thanks for replying though.

have guest commentators! *ahem* me *ahem* Lol, in all seriousness, dual commentary makes me happy . (although good solo comms are good aswell )

Another thing is you might want to cut anything that gets really monotonous, such as dying on the same boss 20 times, stuff like that, so it doesn't get bogged down. Or of course you can speed it up and add Benny Hill Music.

Me and my friends are actually working (slowly) on such a project.

However I'm just using this to get myself used to the idea and do something more productive with my time

Again, Thanks

My Sony Vegas pro hasn't arrived yet, but I'll edit the best I can with Windows Movie Maker.

Benny Hill sounds fun though

Benny Hill makes anything better.

What difficulty are you playing on? Because the game is way too easy on Normal.

I'm just talking about "Let's Plays" in general. I haven't actually played Torchlight.

Basically, just make it funny. Make sure you have a good framerate, and that you can be heard over the game. Nothing more annoying than an LPer you can't hear.

Just try to keep it interesting, jokes subtle humor etc...

I'm assuming an LP is like a commentated walkthrough?

If so then I honestly wouldn't recommend Torchlight. I love the game but from playing as Fighter it would be monotonous to watch tbh, the fighting is samey throughout and it would be tough to keep it interesting if you're just spamming attack and a special ability.
Although these problems could be helped if you played on the hardest difficulty or with some sort of handicap on yourself to make it really difficult.

It not only has to be funny but interesting to watch so remember that.

Of course this is just my 2 cents, I will no doubt be wrong.

I found this [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2993270] to be a valuable resource for my LP. It's got some good little tidbits there...
