Seriously goons started the LP shit, how new are you?

>minecraft furfag lper

sure is cancerous in here.

>>13720444

any source? I would really like to know more mr.TripleAnon.

>>13720444

Trips confirm.

>The format of Let's Plays is credited to Something Awful forum user Michael Sawyer under his username alias "slowbeef".

>Let’s Plays as they are known now began on the Something Awful forums in 2006, when some goons created threads about Oregon Trail in the Games subforum. These threads acted as the template for the screenshot Let’s Plays that followed, these being screenshots of the playthroughs accompanied by text. On January 19th 2007, the first video LP was created by slowbeef, a playthrough of Super Metroid for the SNES. Its formula proved popular and ended up changing the face of Let’s Play forever. In 2007, Something Awful gave the Let’s Players their own sub-forum. On the 2nd of February, 2007, the LP Archive was created by Something Awful goons to preserve older Let’s Plays from Something Awful.

Walkthroughs were the beginning of the end.

Interesting fact - speedruns were before letsplays.

>>13720454

Once again proving that 2007 was the year that ruined everything.

>>13720457

yep goes back to doom. blame id

Something Awful

>>13720477

Yeah, before that there were only speedruns, vods of multipalyer games and walkthrough guides. I used to watch speedruns and starcraft/warcraft vods on cds that came with video game journals way before 2006. And then came letsplayers, eg - faggots that need a mic to speak durring the gameplay.

Well, it began with unimportant twats not being taught by their parents that what other people do is their business.

Then those self important little shits went to the internet and found out that people were doing things and they decided they didn't like.

Then those same faggots created original postings dragging out that content to people who didn't want or care about said content, trying to frame it as if either third party wanted to be involved with the other.

Does that sum it up for you OP?

>>13720451

How new are you?

>>13720444

>>13720452

SA has much to answer for.

>>13720511

It's not called Something Awful for anything, you know?

>>13720501

SEETHING

>>13720511

you have no idea

>>13720511

Understatement of the century.

I didn't mind it when HellFireComms were the biggest there was

>>13720435

People likes it, edgy retards cry about it wich creates drama and makes it even better

>>13720435

LPs by themselves are not cancer. The people who play games for money are.

>how new are you?

Also this.

>>13720571

That's called Retsuprae and slowbeef was in on that too

>>13720454

I wonder if slowbeef regrets his elitism in trying to gatekeep LPs. He had these stupid rules and was just always an anti-fun grouch whenever he LPed or criticised other people lping. Eventually falling into obscurity instead of capitalizing on it.

>>13720670

SA goons don't consider anything outside their bubble to be "real" so…

>>13720660

They bullied some poor clearly slow autists who enjoyed playing NES games.

>>13720435

>How did this cancer start?

Paying $10 to use a forum

>>13720694

Everyone gets bullied online. But if a watching let's plays ever takes off like one anon mentioned then it would just be another sin for SA to answer for.

>>13720588

The absolute clusterfuck of those thumbnails is sickening.

I'm going to find one of these videos and upload them if I can make them fit within the limit.

>>13720749

please don't

>>13720767

I think he brings his wife to his retsupuraes these days

>>13720588

Is that Hello Neighbour game actually any game? I honestly get intrigued whenever I hear developers talk about their AI having learning.

For that matter, are there any streamer/lp bait games which are actually good?

>>13720786

Wait a minute, that nose…

>>13720787

The AI doesn't learn. It's literally just a yes or no thing, but not only that, you're eventually forced to play the game in a certain way. As an example; did you bust open x window? If yes then next night the window will be boarded up. And after a bit, no matter what you do or if you're caught or not, he'll start placing bear-traps and the like, kinda forcing you on a linear path.

It's nothing like the devs try to make it sound like, don't fall for it. If you absolutely must, pirate it, but don't buy it.

>>13720787

It's complete bullshit, the game basically has check marks to see what you did the last time and stops you from being able to do it.

>>13720838

>>Gaymer gurl (they all have the same cardboard box personality and high pitched but extremely self conscious of not being the alpha woman voice) gets brought up in videos

>>Girl starts appearing as frequently as possible

Difference is retsupurae always had this bitch, it used to be another goon named voidburger, voidrak, void-whatever the fuck. She added nothing to the videos she was in and was overall forgotten pretty quickly.

>>13720786

is that real? it kinda looks like green screen

>>13720838

With the likes of youtube and streaming and shit, why hasn't anyone copied ((Howard Stern)) yet?

And why is Let's Players so shitty on games? I'm not a good player myself but i wouldn't dare filming myself being stupid. I saw some dude playing the new Mario game that i was curious to see how it looked like. He missed so many obvious things laying around all over the place, clues to puzzles were responded to like "what the hell is that?!" it got to the point of me just shutting the computer down in frustration of seeing that guy being so utterly dumb.

>>13720994

not all LPers are shit, best thing to do is look for people who specialize in specific genres or game series

I learned a lot from watching total war LP's

>>13720994

>With the likes of youtube and streaming and shit, why hasn't anyone copied (((Howard Stern))) yet?

Because if you did youtube will cut off the shekels and or ban you. Especially if, god forbid, a goyim did it, hoo boy.

>>13720444

Don't give credit to goons for such a simple idea which is clearly beyond them. People have been watching other people play video games since video games were invented.

>>13721018

What exactly did Howard do?

>>13720935

>Difference is retsupurae always had this bitch, it used to be another goon named voidburger

I got banned from a forum for calling this shit out lol

>>13720994

>And why is Let's Players so shitty on games?

There's few ways you can be successful but infinite ways to suck. People in general just prefer to feel smug about someone failing than happy that someone won, unless that victory comes from the underdog.

Also none of the people who stream like videogames. If they did, they'd get good at them first.

>>13720435

Dumb people with free time.

Lots and lots and LOTS of dumb people.
