Why the fuck are you filling your head with useless trivia on obsolete 80's household electronic appliances? Why waste so many braincells cataloging this useless shit? Don't you have actual exams to study, maybe a career to focus on? Why are you so fucking weird.

>>2808439
Why the fuck do you keep playing useless obsolete video games from the 1980's? Why waste so many braincells looking at this useless shit? Don't you have actual exams to study, maybe a career to focus on? Why are you so fucking weird.

Starfox guide

Contains a comic intro and other stuff.
http://f.starfox-online.net/sf/guides/mfp/comicscript.php

Translated intro: http://www.glitterberri.com/star-fox/guidebook-intro/

This is actually pretty okay stuff OP is posting. I'm impressed. I have my own personal way that I expand my video game knowledge but everyone learns differently and I can respect that OP is presenting a quality selection of videos.

I'm one of the most vocal e-celeb shitters on here and even I still watch LPs on YouTube. Not the whole things but it's one step in my getting a feeling if I'll enjoy playing a game before I actually embark.

>>2808568
I was aiming for directors commentary type videos, or LP's that are more focused on showing off parts of the game (and talking about the development/history of it) than the personality of the individual playing it. There's a reason the Trespasser series is the first thing on the list.

>>2808421

This is a really neat collection of videos! Thanks, OP. Ignore the troll!

why is this thread dying? there's good shit in here.

Anyone have any more?

There's a really good LP of Superman 64 I'll try to find. Normally I hate LP's, but this one is great because the guy is literally an expert at the game. He knows a shit load of interesting trivia about it and can get through it without dying. He also doesn't include the boring, monotonous ring parts in his videos. As well, he actually interviews one of the fucking developers to gain insight as to why the game is the way it is.

It's pretty old, might be from like 2009, back when LPs were meant to be videos about people playing games that they know a lot about.

>>2809438

>>2808421
I like Strafefox because he just lists some games he thinks people should check out and gives a basic summary. Just for the love of god do not check out the videos from the guy who does the voice over work for his cause he's one of those shitty reviewers who apes Jontron.
