Let's Play Wiki:Main Page

Welcome to the Let's Play wiki; an encyclopedia dedicated to the popular hobby of Let's Playing and Let's Players from around the world.

A Let's Play is a series of videos in which the author records the complete gameplay of a video game, while providing commentary in the form of an informal and ideally entertaining chat with the intended audience. The goal is to provide the easiest gameplay experience, so that the viewer doesn't need to own the game itself, any hardware (or emulator), or even going through the effort of actually playing; while also giving the chance for the author to enhance further the experience by providing expert insight related to the game's knowledge, secrets, production, secrets, etc. or just otherwise by making jokes or witty commentaries.

Despite all the hard work of research, planning, executing and otherwise producing a "Let's play" worthy of being watched, most games considered to be classics have multiple "Let's play" easily accessible on streaming video sites such as YouTube.

As this wiki is still in a very early stage I propose for the time being we try to make a Let's Play compilation here in the main page - this way we can get a comprehensive view of the content we will need to organize, more easily manipulated. When it is too big for a single page we can create a proper structure and article pages. Please include only complete Let's Play, never works in progress:

Extra note from the author LP; wikipage The Bastard himself: It is really nice work what you guys have done with this site, I really hope this will inspire new let's players as well as old ones to achieve new distances of improving the quality of their let's plays. When I started this Wiki a few years ago, most of the stuff written in here was in poor finnish guy's english including lots of cussing words. In these days the site looks more mature and user friendly and in near future I hope I will get enough time to make a page for each LP;er who'se still active. Guys, I want to thank you all for your hard work for this wikia.

PS: Everyone should be able to edit list of LP;ers as they will, just please, make sure that you place yourself in to right order in the list. I will later on add A to Ö order for list of LP;ers.
