other good shows that I’e been watching: orphan black
holy shit tatiana maslany is a fucking brilliant actress and it’s just amazing how much range she has. she’s played something like 10+ characters throughout the series and each one feels so different and has their own quirks and tics and it’s just really really great
as long as you’re alright with some blood and nudity i’d 100% recommend the show
i’ve been binge-watching leverage
what a really fun, great show
i just finished episode 1 of season 4 and i don’t think i’ve disliked an episode yet. idk why it took people this long to come up with the idea to make a show where every episode is a heist/con but it’s really great and i love all the characters
a friend bought me lovely planet and holy shit this game is even more my shit than I thought it would be
great music and a really great concept for a game: picture the rapid platforming and short levels of n+ or super meat boy but turn the actual gameplay into a fast fps like quake or doom (feels more like a source game but you hear what i'm saying)
plus the music kicks ass
i watched all of a nice sa lp of the la mulana remake that went over how you were Supposed to solve all the puzzles and it made me happy (and now i want to play through la mulana)
it's not finished yet (hell temple and bonus videos for the main lp, a good chunk of the game for the side lp of hard mode) but if you're looking for something to watch it's a good one
The Last Express is an obscure and basically unmarketed point and click mystery adventure game, which is sad because it's honestly one of the best put-together and effortful adventure games I've ever come across. You'd only really have heard of it if, like me, you dug through the files of Myst back when it came out on CD and saw the trailer for this game.
The author does a better job summarizing the LP, so I'll let them speak for themselves:
This, my friends, is one of the best interactive mystery-adventure games I've ever played. The Last Express is a video game created by Jordan Mechner and Smoking Car Productions, published in 1997 by Interplay and Broderbund. If that last one sounds familiar, it's because it should: Broderbund also published the original Myst, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and Prince of Persia. Jordan Mechner should also be a name you recognize, as he's the brains behind the entire Prince of Persia franchise. The game is set on the Orient Express, only days before the start of World War I. It's one of the few video games that attempts to simulate real time realistically, but despite very positive reviews and critical response, the game sold poorly due to the entire marketing department quitting weeks before the game was released.

[T]he game is set on the Orient Express before World War I in 1914. The game begins in medias res as our avatar, Robert Cath, boards the Orient Express to meet a friend. Once on the train, we quickly discover that the Orient Express is a hotbed of intrigue, danger, treachery, and lies, and we must do all we can to survive and discover the truth behind unfolding events. I can't reveal more than that because this game is really good at drawing out the mysteries and allowing you, the player, to speak with other characters, investigate their possessions, and learn things for yourself.

I've recommended this before -- I even liveblogged my reread of it here for the people without SA accounts + archives before Zorak decided to mirror it -- but it's worth bringing back up. I don't play Dungeons and Dragons (and neither did the majority of the people in the LP before it started), but this has been an incredibly entertaining LP and a really good entry to the types of shenanigans that go on in a well-ran game with great players.
If you're looking for an LP to leave on as a podcast-type thing while you draw or game or similar things, this is perfect - the video of them moving the pogs around and making fun of Syrg's poorly-drawn maps is nice, but you don't miss too much without it. It even comes as a podcast (heroic, paragon)!
edit: there are a lot of links here! whoops! the main ones to click on are either the title or the liveblog link, both list the first thread's videos in order (my liveblog comes with fanart and sidebars dug out of the thread, though, which may help your decision)
siren is a really atmospheric horror game with some really interesting plot and presentation tricks! egomaniac LPed this game already about seven years ago as his first LP but he's decided to redo it now since he's gotten much better at LPs & technology + video quality has progressed to the point where you can actually see the details he's pointing out in the videos
the first LP has always been one of my favorites and this redux version has been a really really good watch! you should watch it too!
