I actually checked out your channel, and I can agree it's pretty good. I would approve of you doing an LP of Monster Bash... Much more than that fat retarded idiot JonTron. (May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits)
Keep up the good work, and congratulations on not having an annoying little-kid voice.
I sense some animosity there.
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
Not towards him, but towards other young LPers.
I can see how that could be construed as an insult, but I truly meant it as a compliment, as in "you're an exception to on otherwise detestable age group".

THAT IS WHAT THE MANUAL OR HELP SECTION IS FOR! READ DAMMIT!
Oh my goodness, tell me about it. Something that irritates me probably more than it should is seeing novelty "retro-gamers" molesting the DOS classics and complaining that they're too hard or that the controls are bad. If I could master them at the tender age of 4, then that either means that I'm a gaming god or those manboys are as unskilled as they are unkempt.

And that is why I stick with games I already am familiar with and just stick odd constraints on my run. Boring? Maybe, but it's better than blindly playing something someone shoved under my nose because he wants me to make an ass of myself on Youtube (I'm looking at you, Kaizo Mario fans)
To be fair the original kaizo Mario video was terribly funny at the level exit. I am almost tempted to put a similar trick in one of my mods, perhaps near an optional exit.

I just don't watch LPs. Partially because my internet connection is garghouse but mainly because if I want to see the game played I'll play the bloody game!

I don't know how anyone has the patience to watch an entire LP, personally.
Unless there's something special about it, like speedruns, I'm generally not interested. If I do watch one, I skip around for key parts or to spoil the ending.

It depends, the best LPs are the ones that are either insanely skillful, which keep you in constant awe and wishing you played that well, bumblingly stupid, which keep you amused with the sheer ineptitude or are just an honest run of the game, which let you share the experience of just playing the game.
Speedruns for me fall into category 1 (Even tool assisted ones) a few blind plays in category 2 (The ones where the players acknowledge that the bad playing is their fault.) #3s are the best, such as this walkthrough of Kingsley's Quest that the player obviously enjoyed, likes to share and frankly isn't the best at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrlD43whfm4
What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
1) I want to know about a game, but not enough to play it.
2) The players are entertaining to listen to.
3) I want to see how someone else reacted to certain parts of a game that I've played.
4) Someone has done a really impressive playthrough (speed, skill) and it's entertaining to watch.
