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
