twilightsquid Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 My friend recently started up a site for video walkthroughs of games, and I figured that since this was a largely video game based community, you all may be interested in it: http://gametalez.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwaltzvald Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 So...let's plays without commentary? No thanks. isn't that what speed runs are? Although there are some that are better off giving commentary through text only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I could only watch the lets play videos if the commentor isn't mind numbingly dull. Just say the key info and stfu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Some let's players are actually genuinely funny and really good at the MST3k style commentary, which can really add to a game, especially if it's a bad or silly game in the first place. This is weird, because I think MST3k is dull as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm sorry that a bunch of dad-jokes and old references doesn't cut it for me when it comes to humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Geez. This thread just shows how little I know about the internet. Because once again, I have no idea what people are talking about. I've seen some videos labelled "Let's Play Alundra" on YouTube and innocently thought it was a completely normal title that the author of the video came up with. Now, you guys are telling me that there is an entire phenomenon of videos out there that are intentionally named "Let's Play ..."? What is happening to my world?! Also, what the heck are the "MST3K commentary style" and "peanut butter jelly time"? Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Head on over to the SA forums where as far as I know it pretty much sparked it... Not the speed running the commentary that got thrown in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaywardSon Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Also, what the heck are the "MST3K commentary style" and "peanut butter jelly time"? Do a YouTube search of MST3K (Santa Claus conquers the Martians, Hired!, Body Care and Grooming and the like), and all will be revealed.

ZealPath Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've had a lot of fun with some let's plays, and just some boredom and frustration with others. If the person is like a radio host who can keep talking about nothing and yet somehow mostly have it still be relevant to the game, then they're good. If they're dull and don't sound particularly socially inclined, then I generally can't watch it for very long and try to find one without commentary, depending on the game. Also, the person has to be good at the game, at least as good as I am... if I find myself yelling at the screen saying "WHY DID YOU DO X THING Y WAY, Z WAY IS TOTALLY BETTER!" then I probably won't be able to watch for too much longer either.
