Seven Steps to a Terrible Let's Play

1st April, 0 replies

If you don’t know what a Let’s Play video is, you’re well on your way towards making a terrible one, but I’ll tell you anyway. A Let’s Play video is a video in which a person plays a video game… and that’s it! Usually there’s some accompanying critique or commentary, but you know the basics now. But how can you use this information in your ongoing quest to become the worst human being imaginable? We’re so glad you asked.

You need a YouTube account, a rudimentary video capture device, and a passing interest in video games. The next step is an obvious one: you’re going to make a Let’s Play (LP) video. And good lord, is it going to suck. You don’t so much want a seventh video for that YouTube account you’ve had since junior high — you want a great big steaming pile of waste to accompany your two video diaries and those possibly-alcohol-driven political rants. We have here seven rules that you need to know if you’re going to make the worst LP you possibly can.



#1. Remember: Editing is for Jerks and Losers

You’re playing South Park: Stick of Truth. You have your pockets or backpack or whatever it is kids in Colorado use stuffed to the brim with 35 pieces of equipment. You know what your audience really wants to see? Fifteen minutes of your flipping between various pieces of equipment to optimize your character. No, really. That giant vibrator hits twice for 55-85 damage, and that broken broomstick hits once for 120-155… go ahead and agonize over that one. Break out the calculator, in fact! Let us know what twisted version of “mathematics” you’re using to justify your decision to swing a giant surrogate schlong around, and fifteen minutes later, we’ll be sad to see your progressing through the story. Now, you’ve decided to eschew the fast-travel service, right? Of course you have — making encounter-free treks from one side of South Park to another is what the game is all about! Keep working on these skills, and you just might manage to hit the 10-hour upload limit without actually getting anything done. We’re rooting for you.
