It's amazing how OCD people in comments are about lets players playing the exact same way that they play. They don't even have to lose or waste a bunch of time, they just have to play a little sloppier than the viewer. Like, so long as they're not losing over and over for some stupid reason, I don't give a shit.

I remember in a time before the internet, my friend would record his play sessions on the PS2 on VHS and give them to me. I would sit and watch them, blown away by the graphics, as I only had a PS1 at the time :P After that, I used to record my own play sessions and then watch them back. I used to really enjoy that for some reason. I can't stand actual Let's Plays nowadays though. I have no interest in hearing someone talking over the game.

Here's two ways you can make sure I will not watch your LP:

1. You're playing a 2D game on an emulator with sprite smoothing turned on. Seriously, I don't understand how people my age that grew up with the SNES actually think that's a good idea. It looks terrible.

2. You start each of your 15-minute parts with a 1-minute long intro because you fancy yourself some big-shot video producer. If I have to skip through something each time a new part comes up, no thank you.
