Originally, I started playing and showcasing Destiny's Call and several other games but then began to move on to play more games. I'm still quite new at the LP area but I'm constantly seeking to improve on my videos. At the time being, I'm releasing a new video every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

If you wish to request a LP, you can PM me, leave a comment or contact me by mail or any of these sites or the Youtube account.  I only play full version games, the only expection to the rule was Destiny's Call and that was because the game meant a lot to me and inspired me to become a maker myself.

Your accent is cool and all but you need to not read the dialogue out loud/constantly fill space with constant drawn out words/umming and ahhing, it's really frustrating to watch. 
 
I spose if you're playing for the first time and it's an RPG Maker it's tough to fill in time with interesting trivia and gameplay mechanics and all that.
 
Your Sleeping Dogs one is much better than Beta/Phantasy, maybe the RPG Maker thing just doesn't work for you. I like the idea behind playing RPG Maker games but you need to rejig how you do it, it's kind of annoying as it is.
 
Sorry to be a downer, there's potential but some stuff is annoying to watch currently!

I only read dialogue out loud if there's no voice acting. If I don't read it out loud and I say a joke, it makes the viewer go what part in the text did I refer, what part did I make joke about, often pausing the video and going back to reading the text over again just to get what I was talking about. When I read it out loud, it gives context to what I say. Unless there's spoken dialogue in the game, then I don't need to say it out loud and can just comment on it after it's said.

So yes, I do need to read the dialogue out loud unless the game has voice acting to give basis to what I comment if it's not a visual thing like the guys running around or something like that. But if i'ts a big wall of text, it could be of any part of it and then I'd have to repeat part of the text like I'd be always confused by parts of it.

Well, um, yeah? :sweatdrop: And there's not much gameplay mechanics to talk about RPGmaker games anyway... :shady:

only watched the final fantasy one so far.  I'm not huge into these but def work on editing so that they are more fast paced, a  more balance sound input is nice to avoid clipping/unecessary distorting of your voice to make it much more pleasant to listen to.  Accent is interesting, but you need some more interesting banter I think beyond just the dialouge and the stupidity of the game.   maybe try getting drunk or something when you do the voicing if you are improving (serious suggestion)

Yeah, Atari is getting at what I was. Sorry if I came off as a bit of a dick Big T, I honestly don't watch many of these and I made it through a fair chunk of your ones so you've obviously above average. I think it just needs to be more fast paced and have banter outside of exactly WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW to be interesting. You have a cool voice like I said and I think there's potential. 
 
Also, with these RPGM games, have you considered getting a friend in to do it with you and having a few beers? That kind of thing, the back and forth especially can really make these things worthwhile.
 
I'll check out your Destiny's Call one in a little bit once I've done some stuff, I might do a bit of critique in a separate post (sorry mods double postin like a mofo fkn sue me).

Final Phantasy had some issues with audio mostly because there were phone calls (when the feed cuts at one point) and person walking in and talking and stuff in mid one part and between the crashes the audio levels kinda got screwed up The result is probably the worst audio of the videos. The others aren't as bad in the audio department. I apologize for the bad audio, seems like there's just as many problems trying to make let's play out of it as there is to get it to work (I shot part 2 but it was all fucked up in audio too after a crash fucked it all over and everything came out stuttering and words were lost and it was just a mess)

It's not that I can't edit, it's just that there's really nothing to take out to make it more fast paced aside like the Ninja battle when I sped the fight to have a montage or when I was grinding levels in DCall.

There are many reasons why this is a bad idea but biggest one would that there'd be no way to capture my friend's audio. The only way to be able to capture this would be to have my webcam record all audio and that could lead to many levels of uneven audio including massive distortions and echo effects. If I'd play a game with someone else, it'd probably have to be on skype or something, I guess and I've been thinking on about that actually. But even if the show would depend on it, I'll not open a single beer for it because it'd totally fuck me over and not in a good way either.

why not get headsets?  what programs, mics are you using? etc.  usb mics are pretty cheap, and so are headsets.

Um, I do use headset? But how could I record mine and my friend's voices with that?

I am not sure how you can record three different audio sources at once. (Game/Headset1/Headset2)
 
I use Camtasia Studio for RPGMaker recording and 3Dgear for Sleeping Dogs.
 
 
I tried commenting on few comments on this little bit. I'd like to hear thoughts if I should make more. Yes, these are the kind of comments I receive ever now and then.

I was asked this before, the answer is no. I do not host games made by other people on my website. If you're interested in playing Destiny's Call, Destiny's Call Complete is simple enough to find, I think. Though honestly, it's got less gameplay and less story and it's a lot less climatic. (Dracula is there for absolute no reason at all and the Dark Knight is replaced too, the entire mayor cutscene is far less good and so is many other elements, such as the genius way of switching the angle of the shot in the cutscene battle against armor guy, something that is both extremely epic as well as making the cutscene far better) The custom elements didn't add anything to anything (Skipping or playing Castlevania minigame does not impact the outcome of the battle against Dracula, killing the mayor you still need to go and fight Dracula, etc) and it was half the content this game is. It's the prime example of trying to add too much shit that didn't really contribute anything (The need system is totally useless and underdeveloped) and it making the actual core of the game less than it was. (You can beat it in less than 20 minutes)The humor is also a lot more stupid and not in a good way, but in a unfunny way. I don't think I even smiled once. (Expect maybe making the whore give you a back rub, that was somewhat amusing) All I get from playing DCC is I wish the demo had the visuals from it but honestly, the demo has nice visual flare at times too. (Such as Lino's emosets, the custom animations and such) 

 
And that's when I decided to become a barber.

Nice work man. Though I'm not quite fan of LP's which have the face of the player on the screen, I see you're going the Pewdiepie etc.. style but your voice is already awesome and expressive to stand alone without the accompanying facial reaction or whatever.

Also I really like the way you voice act those characters. Nice job. I suggesst playing over the games from the SW jam.

I'm not going with any style really, the reason I have the camera is to portray my emotions even when I'm not talking. It also gives good reaction shots and such.
 
I'll have to think about the SW Jam in future, I have a lot on my plate at the moment.
