The Lets Play Thread.
Police Girl:
Short introduction for those unaware:
Lets Play is basically a person (or group of people) playing through a video game with commentary. It can either be informative, funny, or both. They mainly exist in Video form but for some games a Screenshot LP's exist (Primarily RPGs). These originated on Something Awful and are still highly popular to this day.
Examples of great LPs:
Sonic 06 by Pokecapn
(Somebody get me some more!)
Of course, with good LPs there are also the bad, and outright terrible, LPs. For those, we have Restupurae and Chip and Ironicus, which riff on things from awful Camcorder LPs, to the comically bad framerate LPs. Though that's not all they do.
Retsupurae's YT Channel
Chip and Ironicus' YT Channel
Game Grumps are kind of Lets Plays... I guess. Though Egoraptor and Jontron are far funnier when they're doing their own things.
Uhh, I guess that's pretty much it, sorry if it sounds a bit like an advertising plug or something. Lets see some more LPs.

Edit: woah, sticky huh?
Phi:
I don't really watch LPs unless it's for a newly released game that I was dying to see.
Police Girl:
For some games I use them as a basis of whether or not I should play the game.
The Sonic 06 LP for example, made me want to play 06 just to see how bad it really was. That was totally worth it.

the best. Their Uncharted and MGS stuff in particular is a good ol' time. also as i said before, check out their Anime Theatre segment which began as a side bit to No More Heroes 2.
they also do their own riffs on bad LPers and whatever else is an embarrassment to everyone. they semi-frequently appear in the main retsupurae videos and vice versa. can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChipCheezumSA
i know there's a few other notable ones. LesBeardly was one I think
edit: i generally just watch some by certain people because i quite like their style of humour and commentary, etc etc. Like, I also follow what pokecapn's group puts out such as the Four Swords Adventure LP.

it's where almost all SomethingAwful LPs go when finished, and so by extension a good place to find actual decent ones
Police Girl:
I have the archive in my bookmarks, I just forgot to add it to my first post.
Silly me.
