Let's Play

A Let's Play is a video or series of videos containing footage (either using a camera, capture card, or emulator and computor screen-recorder) of video games. A Let's Play has commentary consisting either of text or voice recordings. Videos not containg commentary is usually considered a walkthrough or a playthrough. The fact that you can express yourself in Let's Plays is what many people find better than walkthroughs/playthroughs. In the latter ,however, cutting or editing the video is more common as in Let's Plays in which the Let's Player usually finds it better to cut or edit the videos after many deaths. Some Let's Players prefer post-commentary (commentary recorded after the video recording) while others are comfortable with live-commentary (commentary recorded at the same time as the video)
