My Let's Play Channel

[Deleted]

After so long, after letting ┌༼ຈل͜ຈ༽┘ do his Let's Play, I've decided to finally get up and running with my own Let's Play. However, unlike his, mine will be in video format. So, without the dread of reading an entire chapter, you can instead hear it out.

Granted, I'm new to this whole shtick. However, I think I'm doing better than most people that start off, ie - HD quality, good microphone quality, and commentary that will eventually improve. Most people I've seen attempt to start are rather the exact opposite of my quality.

Oh and yes, that's my Youtube icon, the same thing I've posted in my Goudaquisition a while back. Sexy, isn't it?

Now, you all might be asking yourself this: what the Hell is a Let's Play?

According to SomethingAwful:

It's a documented playthrough of something that, at the very minimum, resembles a game; how the author chooses to present it is incredibly varied. Some use screenshots, some use video. Some let the readers make decisions, others plow on through and use the thread for discussion. Some are serious and informative while others are parodies. For some examples, see the LP archive - details above.

However, it's not easy, or free, to record and do this. For example, this is my setup:

• Hauppauge HD PVR - $200
  
• Logitech USB Headset H530 - $49 (Got it on sale for $20)
  
• Dxtory - 3600 JPY (Which is $38)
  
• Sony Vegas Pro 11 - $239.99 (Amazon)
  
• Upcoming Blue Yeti microphone  (at some point) - $89.99 (Amazon)
  

So, imagine that... expensive, right? That's not counting the consoles I own and the games, too.

So, enough of that, for those interested, here's my Youtube channel: TheLordGouda

Right now, I'm doing a Let's Play of Super Mario Galaxy, so please watch and enjoy!

And guys and gals, if you're looking to do your own LP, don't be afraid to post you own thread.
