Last time I checked, an LP is where you are playing a game and walking viewers through it while commentating. Game Grumps never know what they are doing. They are just playing the game. There are the occasional games they play that they've played before but let's be honest, lately they've been getting offtrack and not even talking about the game. It's more like listening to them joking about something completely unrelated while watching a video game being played. And I love it. If LPing is just playing a game and talking, then I don't call anything LPing, because then it would all be LPing. TobyGames is not LPing. PewDiePie isn't really LPing. PBG gamer claims his gameplay channel isn't LPing. And that channel is a lot like TobyGames or Game Grumps. I've always viewed REAL LPing as commentary over a game while walking viewers through the game and being of decent entertainment [hopefully].

My problem with LPs is just that they are too long. And lots of the time not even entertaining. Like I stated in that other LP forum, my personal friend Josiah Clark LPs, currently known as HerrinPlays and once did a channel called blinkkandyoumissit which he hardly ever is active on anymore. I like his stuff, but he'll do episodes 20 minutes long and even sometimes 30 minutes long. I've been featured in a few and as long as it's funny and entertaining the whole way, then cool. But seriously, even though it would consist of more episodes in the series, an episode should just be 10 minutes. Game Grumps isn't really LPing, but they do that and that's what you should do. TobyGames also. I haven't watched any TobyGames in a while but I subbed because of Skyward Sword... sucks he's not doing that anymore. That was so hilarious.

The point to LPing for me is to show others how to make it through a game, while being of entertainment with your [hopefully] fun commentary. Some people enjoy watching others play the video game. I even enjoy this. There are some games where I sit there and am like, "ok, no, give me the controller" or "let me play too", normally with games like Mario and Mario Kart and Sonic. But for some reason, with a game like Zelda, it's almost just as much fun to watch as it is to play. And Zelda is one of my all time favorite game series ever. I've thought of doing a gaming channel, but I don't think I'd do LPing.

Game Grumps is not LPing. That's a whole other monster. But Game Grumps is hilarious. I love their Sonic '06 stuff, yes, but everything really is funny. My personal friend, Josiah Clark, did an LP channel called blinkkandyoumissit which had its successful moments in the LP community. At one point I think that the channel had reached like 1.3 million upload views or something? But I just checked back there today and the viewcount pulled back like it has before and he's once again at over 900,000 upload views... Currently he's doing a new LP channel by the name HerrinPlays which he started about 6 months ago or something, and he's got like 460 or 470 subs on it or something right now. He just decided to completely start over again or something. And then he has his main channel, but that's a whole other story. Recently he and I have been collaborating, YouTube-wise. I actually did the original music for HerrinPlays, though I can't really brag about that when the channel hasn't really been a ridiculously successful one in the past 6 months. I mean, I guess 460 subs in 6 months is a pretty good start. Other than him, I don't actually watch much LPs. I mean, occasionally Chuggaconroy but he's sorta become uninteresting to me. Something about his Majora's Mask LP was what made me like him most. That was my favorite of his. Yup.

Hahaha ok. I may get some guitar on this.

I really don't get it. The bass is booming nice and clear in my speakers. I wanted a more sub sound so that you mainly hear the low end. And I'm obsessed with bass. I can't get enough of it. So I'm not completely sure I trust your speakers. xD As for the snare, will try something out.

Um... do you have bass-heavy speakers? Because I replaced the older bass for a newer one so there was a bigger bass. The bass is way louder now, dude. The low-end is way higher. As for the synth lead, that sounds like a good idea. Snare... meh? I honestly think it's at a perfect level. I don't really want to turn it down any more. As for dry, I'll try something, but the velocities are a little different. You don't want it too different because a real pro drummer tries to play the snare at nearly the same perfect velocity every time he hits it. Especially with rim-shots like that. I get the thing with the harp and glock. I thought I heard that too. I'll go back and work on that.

Dude, this is seriously nice. For your first attempt, this is really a great start. I say, considering how amazing the bass is, bring up the beat more. Make the beat bigger and more fat. You've got a great bassline going there. I'd just suggest bringing up that beat. More compression to bring it out and such. And I love how you also are using other tunes. It really works. Like Saria's Song. And then the part with the foreign string instrument (which one is it?) is really cool. The way you transition everything is well done. It feels a slight bit too empty, though, so I'd say maybe add in some pads. Maybe like compress them to the kick so that whenever the kick hits it sorta pulls back in volume, if that makes sense? Just a thought. I love how you get back to the Song of Storms near the end. And your alternate chord progression is great. Seriously, keep it up. This is nice.

Sure dude. Just PM me and we can figure out something if you really wanna do this.

UPDATED AGEHN. https://soundcloud.com/gwilliamson/the-goddess-gets-groovy-3-v-3 Sorry, timeaus, changed bass. Ain't no fretless no more. -New and better bassline -More variation and licks and such -More variation to end -New synth lead solo Probably something else as well. I didn't do much to the piano. Thinking about getting some guitar on this.

Thank you. Streets of Rage 2 better win. I have a feeling it won't but it better. I'd love to hear Ben's take on freaking "Go Straight"

Where's the link, dood? Didn't see anything on Facebook page. Am I just not lookin' hard enough?

Wow, great arrangement. You call this metal, but this honestly just sound like hard rock, but I'm no genre pro, so I could definitely be wrong. I'd say my one problem is that the bass could be turned up, or the low end EQ on the bass track could be turned up a bit. But seriously, this is a really cool arrangement.

Done.

Wow you got done with the game quick. 4 hits, lol

It may be some time before I get something out there but I'm slowly but surely workin' on it.

I'd love to do a remix, if possible.

HA!! Geez dude how many hits does it take you to defeat a big boss? 2? Lol

Sowwy for dubble-powst. I've begun working on Dragon Roost Island. So what specific sound do you want? Is the genre choice unlimited? I think I tried reading the idea in the original post but I'm not sure if I followed along.

I'm just going to go ahead and attempt "Slider" and see what the crap anyone thinks.

Anyone see my post I made a bit of time back? Just making sure you guys know that. I'm definitely willing to collab on Jungle Japes but seriously, anything. So if anyone wants me, I'll just be standing here... in this corner... all alone...

^What he said. You gotz nice skillz.

Alright well hopefully I'll throw something out there and hopefully you'll like it.

Oh heck I'll do "Slider". Wait so you saying I could give it a go? hahaha

Whatever, just ignore me. ;P Jk.
