Vote for the 2nd Annual Lets Play

[nickyv917]

Hey everybody, NickyV917 here. And its time to start the 2nd Annual Let's Play Awards. The rules are the same as they were last year. The only major difference is the inclusion of a few new awards, and the ending of one of last year's categories (best co-op LP channel, too biased). I'll give you several categories, and you get to choose your favorite LPer or LP for each category. Few extra rules: The LPs have to be played this year. And if the LP isn't on YouTube, you have to tell me where it's located.

Here are the categories:

Best Let's Player
Best Female LPer
Best New LPer (someone who started LPing in 2011)
Best LPer under 1,000 subscribers
Best Non-American LPer (new)

Best Let's Play
Best LP of an Action-Adventure game
Best LP of an RPG
Best LP of a Shooter game
Best LP of a Platformer game
Best LP of a Horror game
Best LP of a Sports/Racing game (new)
Best LP of a ROM hack (new)
Best LP of a Non-current Generation game
Best LP of a Handheld game

Why does "female LPer" exist? Same for Non-American? Why do they qualify as categories?
Anyway,
Bumbleborg is fairly good and he just started this year.
He qualifies for:
"Best LP of an RPG" (Dark Souls)
"Best New LPer (someone who started LPing in 2011)"
"Best LPer under 1,000 subscribers"
He does good commentary and knows when to edit.

I nominate myself for all of these. Except the female one.

Kidding, kidding.

OT: I don't watch/read enough LPs that are ongoing to nominate someone for everything. But for Best Let's Play and Best LP of an RPG (Or one or the other if I can't do both, I nominate AlternatePFG [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/AlternatePFG] for his LP of Fallout 3 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.306987-Lets-Play-Fallout-New-Vegas-Intro-Shoot-the-Messenger]. One of the best LPs I've seen. EDIT: Also "Best New LPer (someone who started LPing in 2011)" because I think he said it was his first one.

For Best LPer under 1,000 subscribers and Best Non-American LPer (new), I nominate Hazabaza1 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/hazabaza1] for his youtube [http://www.youtube.com/user/MrHaza2] LPs. Very good stuff.

The LP Awards are designed to get people interested in LPers they otherwise would never have found. If I just do one big award for best LPers, not as many people would get noticed.

I'm looking forward to the NV lp as well. Because it has a LOT more guns. At least varity-wise.

Do you have a link?

Personally, as a firearms enthusiast, I fell New Vegas is much better in the number of guns it has. And the double action continues to prove it is better than single action as well.

I don't really see how being female or non-american really is a big deal.
But I nominate this [http://www.youtube.com/user/MrHaza2?feature=guide] guy who really totally isn't me because that would be silly. It isn't me. Honest.

Don't worry, my friend, you were already nominated.

By the way, is your avatar of Steven Fry?

Maybe not the best place to ask this, but I'm curious:

Does anyone know of a good Knights of the Old Republic 2 Let's Play that includes the restored content mod material?
