This is what they do ALL the time. Also i don't give a crap what makes you good at mw2, it's a broken game anyway
Sry those are not let's plays,youtube Kikoskia or Helloween,I have a feeling you'll enjoy it

I don't watch them regularly, but if I see one in the related videos column, I might check it out. Whether or not I watch the whole thing (and then more parts of it) depends on two things:

1. Is the player worth listening to? Is he or she funny, or do they have an obnoxious voice and nothing interesting to say?
2. Does the player know what the hell he or she is doing? If they do, cool. But I'm not going to sit here and watch 10 minutes of you attempting a boss fight, failing, reloading your save state on your emulator because pirating games is totally kool to the macks, trying to fight the boss again, failing again, and so on and so on.

I recently subscribed to a guy on Youtube who does commentaries on Rome: Total War battles. Partly for the tactical lessons, and partly for the fact that the guy recorded a battle with me and I'm waiting for him to put it online...

There are quite a lot of pretty amusing let's players on YouTube, such as:

1. Helloween4545 [http://www.youtube.com/user/Helloween4545]
2. Kikoskia [http://www.youtube.com/user/Kikoskia]
3. Toegoff [http://www.youtube.com/user/Toegoff]

Checking Helloween4545's channel every evening has become a part of my routine, like ZP on Wednesdays or Unskippable on Mondays. He's currently doing AvP, but the previous ones, such as Cryostasis, Call of Cthulhu, Dead Space and FEAR, were absolutely hilarious as well.

Worth checking out in my personal opinion :)
Lol i just wasted 5 minutes explaining why he should youtube for Kiko and Helloween,you being awesome already linked them.

I love you for this post.

But yeah, I watch LP's a lot. I enjoy the commentary, and possibly the chance to see a new game as well.

Not all Let's Plays are in video format. Not all are ones where you are simply the viewer.

In my experience, the best Let's Plays are interactive, even if only to a degree. Because then you get a new story, a new experience and that can bring exitement or just plain humour even from old games.

Heck, we have Let's Plays right here in the Escapist, just as we have RPGs.

But if it's recorded walktroughs that interest you, check out Gameanyone.com. Many of those are commentated (some better than others) and they have a huge listing of games completed.

I quite like the Let's Play.
My first one that I watched was F.E.A.R 2...but it had far too much swearing. I know it's sounds werid since you expect people to jump while playing the game, but it was far to often.

I am a fan of one member called Mangaminx, she does awesome videos, her jokes are always funny and I enjoy every video.

I watch some LPs, specially if it's a game that I already played. It totally doubles the fun because you know what the person is going through.

But I really can't watch LPs or RPGs. They are soooooooo boring. I mean, I love playing RPGs, but watching someone else playb them is boring as hell XD

And... I did an LP once, but it kinda suck. But not as much as some that I see out there. At least you can see what's happening on the screen and my voice isn't horrible. So I guess it's a plus XD

I've recently starting watching Starcraft 2 replays on youtube, HD Starcraft does some pretty awesome commentaries. That's it really, and I have no inclination to make my own

I have a something Awful Account and I frequent the LP boards there, some groups of people there are just comedy genius and I could care less what game they are LPing.

DeceasedCrab is probably my favorite LPer. A decent voice, tends to be pretty light-hearted aboutever what he's playing, including creepy games like Mondo Medical. He almost never rages either.

I generally cannot abide watching other people play games unless it's something really, really funny, or really, really awesome.
