The Official Let's Play/Livestream thread

[Nuudoru]

Alright, it's time for one of these threads, but I plan to do it with a twist!

I'm going to make four kinds of lists. DYKG-member LP and recommended LP, then the same with livestreams. So in my opening post we will have a huuuge list for people to browse through.

Great, right?

In this thread it's also okay to discuss LP/livestreaming overall so if you just want to talk about someone you enjoy or need help setting it up, don't be afraid to ask.

DYKG Community LP list

• http://www.youtube.com/JLMBfreafin Sohakmet does LP of a various collection of video games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/RFSmediaproductions CFMM does a series of short plays (as in covers one game each episode). Keep your eyes open for season two of his series that will be made by several people and a budget.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/Arjahn767 Arjahn doesn't make LP, but excellent Team Fortress 2 commentary. There's no reason to not check them out if you play the game, or don't.
  

Recommended LP list

• http://www.youtube.com/show/twobestfriendsplay Two guys that mess with eachother and plays a new game each episode. They do serious LP once in awhile.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/retsupurae Two guys makes fun of other really bad Let's Plays in a fun sense. Lately been doing some Long Play's. Both of them were some of the people who started the Let's Play fad.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/Odinspack33 Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/ka6Scope Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie Became famous after his Amnesia LP while having a cam directed at his own face-
• http://www.youtube.com/user/therunawayguys This here is a collab channel started by ProtonJon, NintendoCapriSun, and Chuggaaconroy!
• http://www.youtube.com/user/chuggaaconroy Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/UberHaxorNova Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/northernlion Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/choleraninja Does LP of a various collection of games

• http://www.youtube.com/user/nintendocaprisun Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/ProtonJonSA Does LP of a various collection of games
• http://www.youtube.com/user/supergreatfriend He specializes in obscure horror games with interesting gameplay features (new and old), reviews of horrible XBLA games, and demos of various indie games that he recommends. My favorite LP of all time is his detailed playthrough of Illbleed (Dreamcast). He has a great voice, a dry sense of humor, and a passion for gaming.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/raocow He mostly plays Super Mario World hacks and indie games. His videos are hilarious, if you appreciate fast-paced, absurd humor and non-sequiturs.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/GameGrumps Famous youtube personalities JonTron and Egoraptor teams up to play through a couple of video games.
• http://www.youtube.com/user/BikdipOnABus He does Pokemon LPs along with some other random LP vids and while his voice is kind of bland, he is really good at keeping you interested in watching.
  

DYKG Community Livestream list

• http://www.twitch.tv/bumblebeecody Bumblebeecody's livestream which has a focus on Resident Evil 4 speedrunning
  

Recommended Livestream list

• http://www.twitch.tv/siglemic World record holder for Super Mario 64 speedruns. Never talks but still makes the livestream interesting due to his skills and entertaining fanbase. At rare occasions he plays Starcraft 2.
• http://www.twitch.tv/peacefuljay 24/7 fighting game stream. Once in awhile famous players visits to play a couple of matches.
• http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky Fighting game stream. If there's a tournament or big even within fighting games chances are you will see it here.
• http://www.twitch.tv/iplaywinner Fighting game stream. Same as above.
• http://www.twitch.tv/cosmowright Zelda: Wind Waker speedrun record holder practices runs here
• http://www.twitch.tv/zfg1 Zelda: Majoras Mask Speedrun record holder practices runs here

Awesome! I would want to know if anyone knows a decent microphone/headset to get in the case that I somewhat get more viewers. I would also like to know if anyone has some kind of criticism to my content.

I do the kind of LP with live commentary when I either try to guide the viewer through the game as much as I can with information and such, I also try to complete the games.

As for games I can do any game for older consoles as long as I can get an emulator and for PC as long as I have the game.

[Mr.Katana]

Twobestfriendsplay is amazing. Definitely worth the time to watch.

[BumblebeeCody]

Two best friends is godlike, no joke.

Use a wired Xbox controller and connect a headset to it.

I recently started up a new stream channel on twitch (last week). Basically practicing a personal best (1:40) before even trying a world record run for RE4. (Not streaming anything soon since it's EVO weekend)

A link to my channel is in my signature.
Hopefully we can discover some new LPers from everyone else's suggestions

Also here are some LPers I reccomend:
OdinSpack
ka6Scope

[Nuudoru]

I updated the list.

It already is starting to look pretty nice.

[zinja]

Recommended LPers:

PewDiePie

Uberhaxornova


They're both awesome Let's Players.

[Xannidel]

Don't forget Chuggaconroy and ProtonJon (he doesn't do that many videos) also TheRunawayGuys (They update each weekend) and Northernlion and CholeraNinja.
A great list! =]

[Lethal]

Chuggaconroy is one of my favourites, and of course Toby Turner/TobyGames is another great one.

I also enjoy the odd lets play from the Pewdiepie, and I watch quite often Yogscast. :3

I chose not to add ProtonJon because he always focuses more on reviewing a game rather than making an LP. He's great though.

[Domfoz]

I would like to make a Minecraft Duo Survival LP ( 1.2.5). If anyone is interested, PM.

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

Perhaps in September if you're still up for it

Probably the only ones I watch, when a ProtonJon video comes up they're just incredible.

Except that happens once a year, lol
