Not sure whether to put this in Gaming or Off-Topic, so I'll put it here for now. Mods can move it if they want.

But anyway, I'm sure most of us know the trend of "Let's Play" (LP) videos on YouTube and other sites, where people record themselves playing various video games and offer entertaining commentary and helpful hints. So my question is, if you're a fan of LP videos, what's the best one you've seen? Feel free to link or embed an example. For me, it's gotta be Cybershell13's LP of the original Sonic trilogy (including Sonic and Knuckles). The video and sound quality are great, the video editing is superb, and his commentary is both very entertaining and very helpful (and also very funny). He does a thorough runthrough of the whole series, and even does two runthroughs of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, one with Sonic and Tails and one with Knuckles. It's all-around enormously impressive.

Here's a link to one of my favorite parts, Star Light Zone from Sonic 1 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWreQW1-MX4&feature=related]

What's your favorite?

Sigh.

I guess this shows my age but when I saw "LP" my first thoughts were of LP Albums.

Get off my lawn, damnit!!!!

For me it is definately one of ClementJ642's LPs... Dunno which one I like most though...

Maybe his complete LP of the Megaman classic and X series.
The dude is awesome.

Let's play Syobon Action (A horrible version of Mario with a cat instead of a plumber).

I don't know whether it's the funny accent, the general apathy of the talker or the fact that he's absolutely crap at the game but it had me in stitches the first time I watched it.

My own...no, I'm kidding, it would probably be Spoony's Ripper riff, his Christopher Walken impressionation is hilarious:

I watched one video, wasn't too into it. It's not a bad series at all, it's just not for me. *shrug*

I find the vast majority of them to be shit, so many are just dicks that try overly hard to be funny or absurd, it's embarrassing to watch. The only two I could say I enjoy are Djy1991 and The Cynical Brit. I'm not sure if the former even counts, and the latter is tolerable; for most of his videos he's kinda normal, but he does have his insanely cheesy moments.

Dont watch them, the usually unscripted blabber makes me cringe.
Also I prefere to experience, experiences 1st hand.

Spoony's Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh Let's Play was the funniest five hours of my life.
Thread over we can go home. Only thing that could come close to be as good would probably be some other LP from spoony(Swat 4 or Ripper).

I can't remember any particular moments of any LPs that are favorites, but I can remember my favorite LP. Any LP fan should go watch pokecapn and crew's Sonic 2006 LP. It's a blind playthrough of the entire game, all stories, from beginning to end in near one sitting. The game is so terrible, and you can hear them go crazier and more insane as the LP goes on. Also, they're pretty damn entertaining to listen to.

The entire thing is near 20 hours long, but I enjoyed the entire thing immensely. Highly recommended.

Oh man, the entire cybershell LP of the megadrive sonic games is gold. Even the hour long conclusion to the knuckles run which is just rambling. His HL2 let's play is also pretty marvellous. I thought this was halflifes 2 not warehouse game lol. I'll admit the first time I seen the bomb exploding in that starlight video I nearly fell out of my seat - his reaction to the bouncer in casino night in sonic 2 is also pretty lols :D
