Let's Play
I'm not sure how many people are familiar with the concept of Let's Plays but I've become addicted to them. Pretty much its someone playing a game and offering commentary on it. Blind runs are popular as well especially on horror survival games like Silent Hill.

Those of you that are familiar with them do you have any favorites? Or a let's play you'd recommend to someone who'd just discovered the concept?

On a minor note I've started doing LP's myself. I just finished King's Quest 3 VGA remake, and plan to start on KotR I. But I'd like to line up some games to play after that or if I run into issues with KotR, so do you guys have any suggestion? Please keep it to PC games, or games with emulators. And if any of you have tips or comments about my first attempt please let me know. :)

	You can read SA LPs just fine without an account. You can't post, but if you just want to read them it's fine. I've been following the phenomenon since the very first "Let's Play FFVI!" one and still haven't paid the registration fee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Really? Last time I tried to read SA without signing in, there was a ton of ads, the second post one every page, etc. Is it still like that? I thought they had the forums blocked at one point before I broke down and reg'd, but I could just be misremembering or the site was being robust or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This non-Goon first read the Animal Crossing LP straight on the forums and had no trouble. Well, the curses were censored ("fuck" became "gently caress", etc.), but other than that, it was fine. (Reply to this)(Parent)

There are a ton of ads, but that's what Adblock Plus is for. It takes care of all the banner ads, the "skip this page" ads, and you can set up custom filters for the second post ones. They do sometimes prevent you from reading threads, but if you wait awhile it always goes back to anyone being able to read threads, and then you just catch up on what you missed (which can be a pain for stuff like the Sakura Wars LP...).

There are a lot of disadvantages, and if you want to register or not depends on how you see them. I have a personal thing about paying to be able to post on an internet forum, so I'll probably never register. But that's me.
