Well I got it into my head that I wanted to make a lets play (like all the cool kids) and the new Alien vs Predator marine chapter was the lucky game.

A let's play is basically someone recording themselves while playing a game and providing commentary. This can be done either with screenshots or videos and I'll be using the video method.

There are a couple of different types of lets plays and this one will be a blind run that is I have not played the game before and will be as surprised by everything as the viewer.

"But pffh with so many great games to choose from why did you pick AvP" some of you might ask and well it's simple I wanted to play a horror game since I'm really jumpy and it should be fun to watch a stranger on the internet get terrified but also I am really jumpy so I did not want a "real" horror game.

Those of you unfamiliar with the Alien vs Predator universe and games it's simple:

  1. [1] Bad corporation breeds aliens (xenomorphs google it if you don't know) for war.
    [2] Experiments go horribly wrong, everyone dies and the marines are sent in.
    [3] ???? (predators show up)
    [4] profit*
*Possible side effects of profit: Horrible, horrible death and/or maiming.

Anyway here is an episode guide:

Well...since you claim to be open for suggestions and criticism, I'll offer what knowledge I can.

Since AVP isn't a "stand on its own merits" kind of game, and isn't much to look at, your commentary needs to be a bit denser. Also, I can't get your angle: It seems like a blind run that isn't actually blind. Categorically, it's usually the worst angle possible, because you aren't genuinely surprised by the twists and turns, but you haven't adequately prepared for a skillful run of the game.

So, there's the harsh part. Luckily, with a bit of retooling, none of that is really unmanageable.

Now the good parts. From a technical standpoint, it's more than competent. The audio and visual quality is definitely good enough for any LP, and that's really the most important part to start out with. Second, you have vocal quality, which is the thing that you either have or you don't. Also, your commentary, while sparse and not as informative as it could be, isn't bad. You're interesting enough, just do some research and talk more.

I've long since stopped LPing, and my LP watchlist has thinned a bit, so I'll stick around to see where this one goes. Looking forward to it.

Thank you I'll try to talk a bit more and be more informative. I'm not ssure what I can do about the blind run part since I really haven't played through it before but since I've played the old games and there really isn't anything new in there that might be what's going on.

But again thank you for the tips I'll try to make good use of them :)
