Mixing the concept of an abridged series with a Let's Play? DMC3? It'll never work!

I recently got a USB capture device for just about � 15.
To test it out I recorded myself playing DMC3 and talked while doing it to see if a potential video LP would be possible. Unfortunately I can't record game sound AND my voice, but yeah. So I recorded it in the style of a Let's Play without much of an intention to release it. But, aside from the facts that I still have trouble finding words in a foreign language (english, that is) and it's pretty hard to come up with stuff to say while playing a game which demands much of your attention AND it's my first time doing this, it turned out rather okay. So I considered releasing it. Then I noticed I skipped all the cutscenes. OH NO!

You can't make a Let's Play without ridiculing the plot or at least go with it. I could just record it again, but I suck at repeating myself. So I got an idea. I recorded the cutscenes and spoofed them. Yeah, the editing sucks hard and so does my humor and you all know that, but I couldn't care any less.

It also looks like shit I mean haha. Has anyone of you even tried editing 3D or life action footage to fit your needs?

Anyway, I got one question: Would you be in favor of me continuing this as a Let's Play with the Abridged cutscenes?
I played and recorded two more levels after I decided to maybe make this a Let's Play, but before I do all the editing (yeah, that's what I call it) and stuff, which is time consuming, I want to be sure that at least some people will pretend to watch it. Otherwise this would be a waste of E-Peen enlargement pills. But I think I could really impove my talking thing with this.

I know the volume's low. If you don't want to turn your speakers up to 11 you shouldn't watch this.
