The Freelance Astronauts. Just about everything they've done has me in stitches. Unfortunately, the one that had me laughing the most of the one's I've watched, New Super Mario Bros Wii, is nowhere to be found!

Still, though, with almost legendary Let's Plays like Majora's Mask and "The Kickboat Saga," they will always have a special place in my heart. It makes me sad that they seem to have broken up or something, as they've stopped making videos.

For those of you who haven't seen them, a summary:


Also, if anyone can point me to some sort of repository that still has all the NSMBW playthroughs, PLEASE do so! I never got to finish watching that one.

They have all of the NSMBW videos and a ton more from what I can say.

Does anyone have any LP's they can recommend me? I watch quite a few of them at my desk at work, they provide excellent background noise for me to occasionally tune into and enjoy during downtime.

Preferably LP's on Youtube. Workplace has blocked off places like LParchive, twitch.tv, and even google video.

I had my time enjoying Yogscast quite awhile back before their Shadow of Israphel series. I haven't gotten into their most recent content. Back when they began their first Minecraft:Survival series, I liked it a lot because of how terrible they actually were at survival and how they just didn't understand the game yet.

I watched a bit of Game Grumps as well. Overall, they're a funny duo - But I get burned out on them quickly, and I get tired of their shtick.

I'm currently watching an LP of Snatcher by slowbeef and Diabetus. Which I am enjoying greatly. A nice balance between joking, being informative, and immersing themselves in the game. This is the sort of LP I would like the most, I think.
Another example along those lines was an X-COM: UFO Defense LP by Kikoskia.

I guess I like it when the LP'ers I see nerd out immensely with the game they're playing.
I have a few recommendations I think you'd like:

https://www.youtube.com/user/GrimithR you can never have too much grim-grams...he does a lot of different things, but his best are his adventure games and RTS, he can be a bit NSFW, especially when he gets pissed at a game, but I always find him entertaining

https://www.youtube.com/user/thedeathcat does a lot of tactical games, ArmA, SWAT, things like that, and I've found him to be really entertaining with those, great with tactics and he can be a pretty funny guy

https://www.youtube.com/user/paulsoaresjr he does very family friendly commentary, with a focus on minecraft videos, but he's doing an LP of the new X-com now that's really good, on classic ironman setting

https://www.youtube.com/user/MysteriousJG does a lot of RPGs and adventure games, can be hit and miss, but worth a look :)

https://www.youtube.com/user/ZeZeZeZerfall/featured also does a lot of old-school rpg and adventure games

and lastly (shameless self-plug)

https://www.youtube.com/user/thesavageoblivi0n I only have 2 done and the quality isn't the best, but I'm working on getting a better setup and improving my commentary (feedback is always appreciated :) )

Well, people already mentioned Chip and Ironicus, so I have to say: DarkId, he makes still images Lps but his style is impecable.

Failing that, I gotta say that my favorite LP of all time is from princess maker 2 by SythOrange
http://lparchive.org/Princess-Maker-2/
I won't say anything to avoid spoil it, but is basically the game if Gendo (of evangelion) was the father.

in the same vein there's Chewbot with his animal crossing LP, Holy holiness, is way better that what you expect:

id like to show some love for necroscope http://www.youtube.com/user/Necroscope86 I just find him some what refreshing due mainly to voice (he is from Leeds in north Yorkshire UK) and unlike alot of LPers he refuses to curse on his videos (although the odd one will come out when he is really scared like when playing SCP or amnesia)

I guess you would call the Developer Commentary on Ratchet an Clank a lets play. But other then that I don't like them that much.

Dont really watch lets plays as such but I have enjoyed a few by Miles123 or Maximillian whatever you want to call him I enjoy his fighting game stuff more such as the Online warrior series and of course assist me but thats a bit different.

The few lets plays I have watched of his of other games are entertaining enough particularly when he has a few of the assist me cast there as well.

Whole lot of video LPs here. No love for the old screenshot? Mr. Swoon and his drunken, rage-filled Monster Rancher? GuavaMoment's frightening dedication to the X-Com franchise? Or my favourite, The Dark Id, playing godawful games and making them look almost entertaining?

Though on the video front, I've always loved Pokecapn and his group. Medibot especially.

God damn Medibot.

1. Gavin, Geoff, Ray, Michael and Jack from Rooster Teeth
2. They are ungodly funny.
3. Honestly I'm split here because as much as I love the funny Achievement Hunter Let's Plays I like No-Comentary Full Perfect Playthroughs Let's Play's even more

SplitPlaythru on Youtube is my second favorite Let's Player

Because this...

Here are a couple of reasons why my videos are great.

1. Whenever possible, I play with female protagonists - Girl Power Forever!

2. I understand why you watch my videos. Therefore my videos contain no annoying commentary which would bore you with stuff you don't have to know.

3. Coverage of some obscure titles - rarely will you see a top channel covering a niche game, like Gal*Gun for example.

4. I think I am pretty up-to-date with keeping the playthrus from start to finish. Granted, there are some unfinished (like Alundra), but I just lack motivation. Recently I deleted several playlists which contained nothing but story cutscenes.

5. I upload the entire game content, most/all cutscenes included, as well as battles (where they matter).

Depends on where it is.

On Youtube, I prefer the likes of ScottishDuck17 and Chuggaconroy, who do fun LPs of platformers, and the Freelance Astronauts, as well as the RunAwayGuys.

At LParchive, I particulary like the Let's Plays of TheDarkId and Rojocohobo's Pokemon LPs.

Lotus Prince has grown on me, being smart, funny and kind of a positive voice in a sea of cold, emotionally draining hatred or smug, detached irony.
And PewDiePie is pretty funny. "Pikachuuu!"...heh..

Seriously not enough Creature love on here. But yeah The Creatures, with Sp00nerism for his odd personality but his constant FPS games can get a bit boring. And SSoHPKC for his constant sarcasm and he has a nice variety His mario stuff is awesome. They don't rely on funny voices and whacky faces to be funny (Sp00nerism doesn't even show his face).

Game Grumps are pretty awesome too. They always get me in a good mood. They remind me of my best friend and I when we were younger and would sit around playing games and just bullshitting about various topics.

And I don't know if he's a LP in particular but I like SketchMasta. He talks nonsense 9/10 times but I just find it so damn funny.

Two best friends and Game grumps cause they're funny and they really know things about games so even when they're not making you laugh, your learning stuff about things.

Cry Plays is also good cause he's legitimate and really tries to role play in his games. Sad he has to be overshadowed by the guy who screams rape all the time.
