Let's Play

Paeter recently mentioned Let's Play videos (where a gamer records himself playing a video-game and commentates on the game as he plays) in a recent episode of the podcast. He said he didn't understand the appeal. I actually enjoy Let's Plays myself as long as the player/commentator is really good and funny. It is a mixture of interest in the game and how entertaining/informative the gamer is. I can totally understand not liking them though, I didn't think I would before I started watching them. Now I will watch them sometimes instead of going to Hulu or Netflix. 

My favorite Let's Player is Markiplier. He is very over-the-top and loud in his humor, but he also takes time to talk about the qualities of the game. You should also know that he curses and can be crude at times.

Here is the video that won me over to Let's Plays:

Here's another fun one:

I usually use them as away to help me if I'm stuck at a certain part of a game

My favorite Let's Players are Knightwing who does mostly Batman stuff and the guys from Achievement Hunter (tho if ur going to watch them, u have to look out for strong language).
