I still enjoy checking out some of the humorous screenshot LP's that have been posted there.
The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Yeah that's where the concept of Let's Plays have started IIRC. Though there it was commentary with screenshots.

I dunno if that was intentional. Because it really could have used a "mangosteen" punchline if so.

I pop around on the LP Archive sometimes.

They've got a couple that are goddamn solid, like the screenshot Planescape: Torment one.

I like some of his stuff, but I can't really go back to his RE4 and other early stuff.

The humor is VERY "late 00's internet."

His sheer and unrelenting hatred for Dirge of Cerberus is still choice, though.

LP Archives I'll still check out if I'm looking for something from time to time. Freelance Astronauts were always fun
