25c) Only if you are doing a voice LP, and not putting commentary as captions or the like.

One thing with voice commentary is you need to make a balance between...

Talking all the freeken time!
and
Akward pauses and dead air.

The best is something inbetween depending on the nature of your LP I guess... an LP where you just say stuff at the start and then play is one thing. A LP where you talk throughout but you leave HUGE gaps is another.

I REALLY need to stop watching Retsupraes... I know what NOT to do... but I don't know how to do anything right.

Same. I'm more for watching Slowbeef let's play horrible games than watch him ridicule horrible gamers though.

Anyone have an idea for a non-overdone let's play?

25b) No offense, but please wait until you are 14 to do a video lets play. Nothing grates me more than to see a GTA lets play done by a 9 year old.
*13-year old =/ face*

Well, I suppose you DO have half a point. I guess my voice could be confused with someone younger, but feck it, I'm 95% confident that my ability to type coherent sentances generates the appearance of somone with far more maturity. Name three people around my age or younger who aren't me that can. I can name one.

I also know many who dont think they're superior to other people of their age. You just fed a semi-troll.  ;)

Derailed thread is derailed. Can we please keep them "tips" civil and avoid all delicate subjects? (gender, skin color, faith, age)

Oi!

Not very derailed for here, I'd say. it was still somewhat ontopic. But anyway:

26?: A lot of updates might be good after a long absense, but all the time it'll just be annoying unless you're really good at keeping things interesting.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Watch his series on the retsupurae channel on the Godlimations games. It's brilliant.

Thank you.

27. Don't be afraid to jack up your campaign in the name of shits and giggles - it makes for a funn(i)er read.

Ah, honest mistake was honest. To be fair, so long as you are reasonably comprehensable and are doing something reasonably age appropriate, I don't think it matters.

28) If you do jack up (due to 27. or otherwise), skip any long segments that you've already gone through. Nobody wants to see the same 30 minute cutscene twice in a row.

29) Try not to sing along with the game music, unless you are like Raocow and are just that goddamn wacky.
