Your videos are not fun when you spend 50% of the time complaining about the youtube time limit and spending the other 50% making sure you are still below the time limit and commenting when you are near it. Just play the game, nobody cares about the time, play for as long as you want, when it goes over 11 mins (yes, the limit is actually 11 mins, not 10) then you ignore it and keep playing, you can split the video into 11 min segments at the end.

Dont edit the video so you do everything perfectly, and dont do test runs, thats just a video walkthrough, not a let’s play and are often less entertaining.

Dont act like its the first time youve played the game or the first time youve seen something when it clearly isnt, ive yet to see a lets player that can actually act and do it believably, it’s just annoying.

Dont drown out the game’s sound, the game is a major part of the let’s play, obviously, and it sucks when the viewer has to turn the volume up three times higher than usual to hear the actual game then get deafened by your voice, you need to find a balance between you and the game.

One of my fav Let’s Plays at the moment is gixG17′s Morrowind Let’s Play.

• It’s an awesome game
• He just plays, no being held down by time limits
• He talks about the game, his views, ideas and opinions on it, not about whatever you did last Tuesday
• He dosnt edit anything out. spending a whole 10 mins reading the quest log? May seem boring to some but he provides running commentaries and its nice to see all this from a different persons perspective
• He does this cool thing where you can see him in the bottom corner while he is playing the game. One thing you lose with just audio is body language, which can say a lot on its own.

Ive probably missed something. That was fun though, been a while since ive had a proper rant. I still watch and enjoy a lot of Let’s Players that do the bad things i mentioned above, but its really annoying. Anywho, back to watching Let’s Plays! Enjoying ThatEnglishDude’s FEAR 2 Let’s Play at the moment.
