So a wee bit of discussion popped up on the TZH Forums about starting some LPs. Someone mentioned it being done there, but it doesn't seem like it would fit well. So I decided to bring the idea here, where there's room to expand and such. This is mostly an "Ideas Topic". Because, currently, my microphone is broken, I don't have recording software (I'd like to get Fraps, but I'll need money first), and I need to figure out how to work my own schedule around it. I was thinking we could have a few Let's Players. Since it's based in Maddhaus, I figured the name of the Let's Play group might as well be something like Maddhaus Gamers. I dunno. Current LP ideas: 1. Cave Story 2. Knytt Stories 3. Penumbra 4. Spelunky 5. Castlevania 6. Kirby 7. Tyrian 8. Guilty Gear Throw any ideas you have at me. And if you want in, let me know.

I'd do one, but I've bust my mic port, the integrated one, on the motherboard :Y

Balls. <:C That must suck when playing a game where you need a mic. XD
Also, I think it would be fun to play games we haven't really played before, rather than just playing games we're familiar with. It makes things more fun and comedic.

I would also do one, but it would be pokemon. XD
And it would be nothing but screencaps. But, I think it would work better if I had a ROM of the game instead of playing on the DS itself. Unless someone wants to point me in the direction of playing it on the DS, and then uploading a video on like, Viddler or something along the lines.
I should find ROMs of the games and do it like that. It sounds easier. >.>

Hmmmm...Doing screencaps would make it more of a walkthrough than a Let's Play. LPs are more "Hey look I'm playing a game! Crap, I died. Oh hey, I beat the boss", et cetera. At least that's how I see them.
I'm trying to find a free recording programme, but I can't seem to find one that records the sound from the computer. :C

As far as I've seen, LPs work both as caps and as videos, though I think caps requires a bit more from the maker to ensure they're worth reading. Oh, and yeah, I'd be willing to do this, if someone could tell me a bit more about recording a game, especially on the computer.

Not only that, whenever a pokemon was caught, I would get you guys to name it. Then, After getting enough pokemon to form a team, I would then come back to the audience and ask them which pokemon to choose for my team and go from there. It'll be hands on for everyone that way it won't be boring and it'll keep people interested. The problem is that I would probably have to do it on a ROM emulator, which I do not has.

Grammer: Ohh, I see. Cool beans. Well, if you're willing to take screenshots you can do that too. While I know how to edit video, I'm unsure of the whole screen-recording thing. So it'll be a bumpy ride once I start. XD @hail: That sounds like a sweet idea. Hopefully we'd have enough viewers to name the Pokemon, hahah. Maybe the names could be chosen by looking at the thumbs-up or down beside the comment. The highest number gets chosen, type of thing. As for how you'd get the games, I did a search and found this damn sexy website. There's epic Engrish there, but I think you'll figure it out. XD Should I get to making the YouTube page or will you guys need a lot of time before you start?

Awwwwwww yeaaah.
Hmmm....unless I'm a moron, it keeps sending me back to download the Gameboy emulator again. It won't let me download the effin game. >.>
Then again, I'm running on a couple hours of sleep. I'll look again when I'm not tired. Also, I'm going to do a bit of a run through first to make sure that everything works, etc.
How I will play it should I do it is that, I will boot the game. Ask the people reading thread. Boy? Girl? 7 name limit. Wait a couple of days. After that, Highest vote on name wins. I will also do requests. Ex. Someone asks: "Catch a Sentret and name it Ringo" or something like that. I am basically bowing down to the reader and whatnot. So, yeah.

Yeah, I was a little confused too. But it was also late and I was sleepy. XD In the end you might just end up downloading the emulators and then finding the games elsewhere. Cause I seemed to have located the emulators but not the games. Also, I think I misunderstood the whole screenshot thing. I thought you meant put the pictures into a vidjo with text. XD Ha dur derp derp. Don't mind me, just epically brain farting. Anyway, that sounds good, hahah. EDIT: I found a nice recording programme that is completely free. Quality stuff, too. I tested it out and it seems pretty good. I also got the free version of Fraps, but I only just found out that it only records certain games. So emulators are a no-go for that. CamStudio it is then.

It looks like this only has the emulator and not the games itself. So, if you have the time and know a good place to download them, I'll be sure to start an LP for yew, Sammich! Also, I think you should go ahead and set up a Youtube or Viddler page for us. I like watching them more on Viddler, but if you guys want to do it on Youtube, that's cool too. I just feel like Viddler's more personal and private than Youtube because not a lot of people use Viddler. c:

Righto! I'll get to searching for some Pokamanz games then. Shouldn't be hard to find.
Also, I picked YouTube cause I wanted to broadcast the LPs to pretty much whoever. Though just cause it's on YooTubz doesn't mean we can't put them on Viddler too. :D I just wish I knew what Viddler was. :D I'm uncultured. :D My entire life is a giant brain fart. :D Why do I even wake up in the morning? :D
But seriously. Okay, I'll get to making the YooTubz page. Though we're lacking videos. But...It'll cure boredom. XD
Also, it appears CamStudio doesn't let you record speaker and mic at once. Augh...I'll need to find another one then.

This is Viddler: www.viddler.com/Viddler's more private in a sense. There won't be a lot of poopy people like Youtube, unless we're able to make it private.

Ahhh, I see. Yeah, we could do that too. Well, one of the points to making Let's Plays is showing anyone and everyone. Stupid people included, hahah. But for every one troll there's two decent people. And if other Let's Players can do it then so can we. XD At least I hope. D: *Puts on Armour of Troll-Proof* EDIT: I made the YouTube channel. I'm not familiar with Viddler, so I'm gonna leave that up to you. XD Also, on the YouTube channel I only mentioned myself under "Current Gamers" cause, with your whole private approach to this, I wasn't sure if you wanted your name--or username, rather--up or not. And PM me if you want the password. I also had to make an entire Gmail account for this damn thing. XD Anyway. Let me know if the page needs fixing. And anyone else who wants in, don't hesitate to raise your hand.
