So my brother really likes LP's. He watches them all the time, has a few favorites, watches the streams and whatnot. He heard about my failed attempts to finish a GS LP, and wanted to do one. I wasn't very sure, but I decided to try and work with him anyway, because he can be very persuasive when he wants to.
But then he wanted to do a Video LP.
"But dearest Brother! My crappy video capture device does not work well with my new computer, it only captures video!"
"Then we'll just record the sound some other way! Let's Play!"
"But I have a horrible track record of not being able to sync sound and video! It'll look unprofessional and generally horrid to the extreme of hearing us talk about things five minutes after they have actually happened!"
"Don't care. Let's Play!"
And then he decided that the only game out of our vast, vast library of interactive media worth playing for the internet was Kingdom Hearts 2.
"But brother, this game has been done to death! I mean, one can trip over LP's on that game like hippie in a mushroom store! I mean, you are personally fond of
Kung Fu Jesus's run of it for hissake! It would be derivative and fail greatly in comparison, even if we don't suck nearly as much at the game!"
"Don't care. LETS PLAY."
"And for that matter, i've got nasal issues so bad it's a minor speech impediment at the moment, and don't sound as nearly Sean Connery-ish as I should! I'll be mostly unintelligible, and you'll sound a bit like a jerkass!"
"DO NOT CARE. LET US PLAY."
And then he punched me in the shoulder, and it hurt for like an hour.
So here comes the fail and lack of substance of a Kingdom Hearts 2 LP.
Let's Play (very quickly) Kingdom Hearts 2, with Pyros & Loner.
(source= Midna01)
Herein:
- We fail to address each other by our online personas and increase the chance of getting tracked down an raped.
- Loner fails to grasp the concept that he doesn't need to preach to the choir, all of you know this shit already when explaining the plot, game mechanics, and how to win at fights and be generally successful at the game (hint: press X, and if that fails, occasionally hit triangle.)
- Kitty Pyros (whose young, virgin eyes are kept safe and away from the violent abuse and butchering of his/her favorite non Zelda game) sits this one out, and some dorky baritone cat food can opener speaks as a non-kitty "Pyros."
- Comments about a love of big chests are made, a favorite anagram of Xemnas is said out loud without much forethought, and an arm is punched so hard you can hear it in the recording. Repeatedly. Ow! Seriously, is there any such thing as a shelter for beaten siblings? Geeze!
The videos are on viddler, and I've got a nice backlog to have constant updates. Furthermore, my brother will bug me every bloody night to record a new episode, so this trains should keep running into it's inevitable trainwreck with no long delays.
This video LP is a bit experimental (because I don't know what the shitaki I'm doing) with voice commentary from myself and "Loner", aka "Ninjamon325" and he also stole a name from some forumer here named "Madwithininsanity" for Facebook.
The style will be a Speed run LP, wherein Loner will try and blow through the game as quickly as possible, skipping all cutscenes and unneccesary content: IE most chests, sidequests, shopping, minigames Winnie the Pooh. Even though he's playing on easy, this also means he'll mostly get by only with Bonus levels and drive form spamming. I doubt we'll break any speed records, but the idea is quickly and skillfully, and the hard way.
Despite skipping Winnie the Pooh, all worlds shall be cleared (Hundred Acre Wood is a book, not a world, apparently in Loner's eyes). Yes, this means we will play Atlantica. Oh god....
If we ever do get stuck, I will grind his Sora in the background, and go back and get stuff he missed off screen (unless you wanna see that).
One final note: You might want to turn the sound up sometimes, my voice intermittently drops despite being right next to the bloody mic, and Loner sits on a chair further away. His voice carries better than mine, and sometimes drowns me out, and sometimes I forget to adjust the game volume so it doesn't drown out the both of us.
Well, here we go. Let's just hope I don't murder him in his sleep before this is over. Assuming he doesn't break my arm first...
First Episode: Recording Fail and Mansex, ne'er again shall they meet. (Roxas to Sora, no matter how speedy you are, always takes 40 minutes!)
