The Let's Play Topic

Yeah, me neither, to be honest. But at the time, the LP craze hadn't quite hit yet. It definitely has now!

Regarding CCLP1 LP's - I think people should be allowed to on a level-by-level thing, so say, when 3 or 5 or whatever arbitrary number of people it is have beaten a level it's open for LPing.

If the set is designed correctly, this means the first 50 or so levels will be unlocked very quickly - maybe even within a few days - with the end levels taking a bit longer, but with the difficulty goal in mind the set should be entirely available for LPing probably within a month...

We would need to make a thread to track this, of course.

I don't really think the difficulty of the difficult levels will be brain-busting enough to even warrant this rule for CCLP1.

I remember back in 2008, when I made my first ever LP, which was Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. I didn't even know what the term meant. I used to just call them Walkthrough Commentaries.

I remember looking for a video playthrough of a childhood favorite just so I could relive the fun. When the top result on YouTube was a "Let's Play," I was confused. Then, I heard people talking and was like, "Psh, I don't want my viewing to be ruined by other people talking!" And then the commentary became incredibly hilarious. And the rest is history.

Hmm. I'm not sure if I should start an LP or not, I typically like to do it level by level and don't really enjoy failing too much.

[jblewis]

But failing is the best part of an LP to watch.

Ikr.

I imagine how long it would take me to complete Force Field on an LP. The difficulty of that level + recording = :O

As long as you know your way around, the only really difficult part is navigating the east side.

This is Michael Warner from the Facebook chat. He plans to kick off LP'ing soon with JCCLP.
