  Freelance Astronauts -- The Freelance Astronauts hail from Something Awful, but are branching out with their very own site. The games range from classics like Lemmings, to newer hits like Resident Evil 4, and even horrible homebrew games such as the infamous Ballion.

  Making a Let's Play
  -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
  Reference: SomethingAwful has relevant information to read.
  "JUST EXPORT TO H.264/AAC IN MP4 WITH MEDIACODER YOU FUCKS"

  Getting Started:

  Allow me to start this section off with a video by Klyka, who has provided an example of things that make a bad LP video.
  

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTjkhCOszb0

  
  Before you make a Let's Play, you should ask yourself the following questions:
  
  Do I have the time to see this through to completion, to put in the effort required to make this watchable?

  Making a good LP takes more time than it seems. Especially in regard to screenshot formats. Video have a bit more leeway, but requires some discretion prior to upload (if you REALLY want to, you can be like the people who upload the videos of them dying and not progressing in a single segment; I and many others will mock you for it).

  
  Am I funny? Am I knowledgeable about the content? Am I good at the game?

  These are the three important questions, which all lead up to the most important factor: Entertainment. People want to be shown something new, or laugh, or be impressed. Any of these alone makes for a decent LP, any combination of them makes the experience of watching you play all the better.

  
  If I'm bad at the game, can I take it in stride and make it a comedic experience?

  Nobody wants to watch you spit curses for five minutes on end because you screw up. If you're playing a game you know you're bad at specifically for that reason bring a friend along for commentary; laughter is infectious.

  
  Community Involvement:

  A big bonus for LP's is when you get the community involved. In fact, it's not a bonus, it's part of the point of these motherfucks (some people are able to get away with it though, but they've proven why). A common method of community involvement is having people vote on any sort of open ended options there are in the game. I wouldn't recommend going overboard and making people vote on every choice you have, with say, Mass Effect or KotOR type games - that's a lot of work. You can also have the community involved simply from providing commentary for your videos. Another way is to have the community impose challenges or restrictions on what you can or cannot use. None of these are required community involvement, and if you come up with another way, more power to you.
  
  Don't ask for a Retsupurae treatment to your LPs. First of all, it looks tacky. Second, leave the shtick to the Retsupurae guys. It's their thing. If you want a gag track on your LP, have people there from the start to help you with post commentary, as long as it isn't manufactured. And you know some people do that shit. They don't have a home in this thread, by God.

  
  Picking a Game:

  Pick a game you already know for your first LP. Why? Because you don't know how time consuming making an LP can be, and you're probably going to give up on the whole thing if it's a game you don't enjoy and know. Be careful with what genre you go into as well. Some games have repetitive shit that people don't need to see, especially RPGs. Why? Because nobody wants to see your grind to level.
  
  When you pick a game to do an LP, tell us about it. Tell us why you picked it, tell us about the game. The more obscure the game, the more inclination you should have to introduce it to people. This isn't a rule to doing LPs here, but it's a suggestion that only nets positive results.
  
  Don't LP a game that is new. Give new games a couple months past the initial launch before you LP it. This isn't a hard set rule (neither would it be enforceable), it's more of a guideline. It sounds silly, but at the same time there's some reasoning behind it. Just trust me on it. If you do LP a brand spankin' new game, as long as you're taking care with your presentation it is less offensive. Just remember though, there is no fucking race to glory with LP'ing games. If you want to be the first to holyfuckingshitlpthisgame something is wrong with you.
  
  Don't fucking LP I Wanna Be The Guy. It has been beaten to death and most people who play it fucking suck. If you want to be the guy, be the bigger guy and not LP it.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caGFch0eZxI

  
  Picking a Format:

  As mentioned before there are two formats to Let's Plays - screenshot and video. It's up to you what you really wanna do, but here's some things to note about each.
  
  ::Video::

  • Easier to manage while playing. Hit record to start, hit again to stop.
  • Captures the game audio, which can be part of the experience as long as you're not talking over important dialog.
  • Hands-free for viewing. People watching hit play and that's about that.
  • Requires a beefy computer to get done. Lots of HDD space for recorded material, and a beefier computer for computer games.
  • Don't use a camera of any sort pointed at screens. There's ways of directly capturing video.

  
  ::Screenshot::

  • Easier on computers; you don't need an expensive rig to pull this off.
  • Harder to manage while playing. Gotta constantly capture, especially if you're trying to get in-action stuffs.
  • No editing required. Well not necessarily. Technically you're only capturing what you want shown.
  • Can be a pain to write up those forum posts, with all the IMG tag integration.
  • Allows people to read and enjoy at their own pace.

  
  Picking a Commentary Format:

  This is just as important as your actual content from the game, and something to consider.
  
  ::Text::

  • Pretty much required for screenshot format.
  • Works well with video format, if you want the game audio uninterrupted by audio commentary.
  • If used in video, for the love of God, mind the color and font size - it has to be readable.
  • Talking Heads make text fun, but only if you're a creative writer. Gives silent characters life.
    • These can work in video too but I haven't seen it done yet; not 'til I do it myself!

  
  ::Audio::

  • Pick live commentary...
    • if you're good with spontaneous reaction, or simply want it there.
    • if you want an enhanced experience in general for a group if you can establish it through tech gubbins.
  • or post commentary
    • if you're bad with coming up with things to say on the spot. Scripted comments are fine.
    • if you want a group commentary session; it's easier to do as post than live.
  • Don't sing. You're bad at it anyway. That goes for humming too, it's a cop-out.
  • It'd be bad form to talk over any important game dialog going on.
  • Don't read any text dialog in the game, we can do that just fine, thanks.

  
  Resources for Making a Let's Play:

  Any sort of important resources for making a Lets Play can be found here. I'm also going to link Something Awful's tech support thread for LP's, since they've gone through the effort of compiling all that information (my thanks to them, if it could be read).
  
  Imageshack -- Image hosting service ; can be fussy or buggy
  Photobucket -- Image hosting service ; lean on bandwidth per account
  YouTube -- Video hosting service ; most popular and therefore most abused
  Viddler -- Video hosting service
  Windows Movie Maker -- Video editing software ; not the best but free
  
  MediaCoder -- Encoding software
  Screenshot Captor -- Image capturing / saving software ; fairly convenient after setting preferences
  IrfanView -- Image editing software
  GIMPshop -- Image editing software
  Rightload -- Image uploading software
  
  
  Skype -- Voice communication software
  Blip -- Video hosting service ; caption-only LPs not allowed ; voice commentary must run throughout

  Oh crap I forgot to include that. I'll give it a proper place when more more links are provided to people's LPs here so I can add 'em up (for the record they don't have to be finished).

  
  Hmm, making a list? Shall I dig out my LP thread links for this?

  If you're going to do an LP, make sure you finish it. Plan ahead and think of your time investment from start to finish. Don't do an LP that takes months or ones that require constant updating unless you can actually complete it.

  Yeah, I had planned to actually finish my LP and the game for the first time... Stupid HD crashes.
  I like the whole setup I had too...
  
  Hell, maybe I'll restart it again... But i've got a backlog to clear and Brutal Legand and Uncharted 2 coming down the pike...
  
  Edit: the general problem I had when doing a SS LP was remembering to take pictures and keeping a logbook of sorts while playing. And saving in case something happened. I basically would write my post in advance (since it was a more narrative style) immedately after or during my playing and edit in the urls for the screencaps after the copy-paste.

  Just linking to youtube channels kinda sucks. It doesn't exactly tell people what's in there. I suggest linking to the threads themselves. Some people like to see the discussion that goes on about the videos.
  
  Anyway, my personal contribution:
  
  Name: Final Fantasy VII
  LPer: Adus
  Format: Screenshot
  Style: Satire and Plot Summary. Minimal Gameplay/completion focus.
  Status: Complete
  
  I added in there a style category, since some people might want to know beforehand if the LP they're clicking on is intended to be humorous or simply informative. Obviously some can be both, but well, you know what I mean.
  
  Non-PA contribution:
  
  The Freelance Astronauts
  
  I'm just going to copy paste what I wrote on TVtropes:
  
  The Freelance Astronauts hail from Something Awful, but are branching out with their very own site. The Astronauts consist of four commentators by the names of Maxwell Adams, Ferr, Evek and Pipes! each with their own unique opinion and voice on the various games played. Each week, at the Maxwell residence, most or all of the guys get together in person or via voice chat to play games while streaming to the Internet as well. The games range from classics like Lemmings, to newer hits like Resident Evil 4, and even horrible homebrew games such as the infamous Ballion. With true wit, occasional guest commentary and Maxwell's strange encyclopedic knowledge of old game trivia, nearly every video has entertainment value, even if the game is poor.
  
  They do video LPs, and the commentary usually is humorous observations on the game, bad (or awesome, depending on who you are) puns, and random podcast like chat. This is my favorite site for LPs. So hard to pick my favorites. The QWOP video is pretty awesome though.

  Klyka I'll get your threads linked to momentarily.
  
  Looking at the formatting, I might ditch the YouTube channel linking afterall. I'm thinking it might be better to just link each game, who it is by, and the completion status. Might include format and update count. This is only pertaining to PA'er made Let's Plays though. Because of how the LP Archive is designed you can't exactly link to each LP individually and that'd be bypassing the whole idea of seeing the list of games there and exploring it. Even I haven't seen everything on that site yet.
  
  I'm more drawn to video LPs. It's mostly an issue of how I like to hear people talking. I'm strange, yes.

  Because it was incredible

  
  You're too kind!
  
  This is a great idea. I have missed some of these and it will be good to have them all in one place.
  
  One suggestion I have regards editing. I spent twice as much time editing as I did playing because a lot of my LP was repeated due to something like 600 deaths. If your LP has a lot of repetition, consider editing it out so instead of a 30-minute video with interesting parts every 5 minutes, you'll have a 10-minute video that's consistently entertaining.
  
  My LP thread is linked below, if I may humbly submit it.

  There's another great IWTBTG LP on the Something awful archive, it's completely different and equally as good.

  Also, it would be great if a mod could sticky this. It would make it easier to find and reduce the number of, "Has this been done yet?" questions.

  Should I include my sadly aborted mirrors edge lp or just stick with the hl2 one that is going much more smoothly?

  This is a great idea here. I hope that it will enhance the LP community of Penny Arcade, we already have a lot of great LPers on this board.
  
  Also you should include the in progress Half Life 2 LP by me and Nappuccino.

  I'm going to put off the next thread update. I was working on it and the net ticked out when I tried to push it through. Fuck Comcast.
  
  For the record, how many goddamn I Wanna Be The Guy LPs are there?
