"Let's Play" is basically a playthrough of a game done on youtube, usually done in a series. This thread is for you to recommend different youtube playthroughs by posting the first video in the series. There are only 3 rules:

1) Warn people about cussing when you post the video.
2) Similarly, warn people about any NSFW content when posting.
3) Keep in mind that the forum COC is a thing, and some content is not appropriate even when you've warned people up front that it is there.

This is NOT a topic to debate the merits of walkthroughs and playthroughs on youtube and whether watching other people play video games is a worthwhile use of time. If you want to discuss this, make a new thread for it.

In the case of a playlist, you can also post the link like this:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... PgI7yn4l8E

but the same rules apply.


Above is my favorite playthrough of Demon's Souls. The guy does a really good job of covering everything in the game, and it's Demon's Souls so by definition it's a dark and violent game and thus probably NSFW, but he avoids a lot of the cussing (not all) that seems to be rampant in youtube let's plays and it's a very entertaining playthrough to watch.

For future notice: Rule 4. Say what game it is. That one is my bad.

The above is Minecraft. So.... NSFW minecraft.

DeceasedCrab plays La-Mulana
Cursing: VERY limited
NSFW?: It's probably about as SFW as watching an LP video can be. (If I were someone's boss and they were watching LPs on the clock, it wouldn't matter which one...)
CoC Gidelines: Sure.

So, you only want to know if its safe for work in the context of the game being played and not the Let's Players?

To be honest, if it's NSFW and it's the let's players, it's either going to be against the forum COC anyways.

I think we are operating on entirely different NSFW values.

And I think you get the spirit of the thing but you want to argue semantics for pedanticism's sake.

I got what you meant right after you pointed out that minecraft was not a game you would ever deem NSFW. But it hardly matters that I got it after the fact.

It's misleading to say you want people to tell you if the content is NSFW if you actually just want to know if the game being played contains lots of violent or sexual content. Maybe some people will just associate it with meaning the game being played, but I'm not one of them. It may be a tad pedantic, but I think you should clarify what you want people to say about the Let's Play.

I know you're looking for specific games but it's pretty much the best starting point to take.

And I suppose since you want a specific one I'd recommend Research Indicates Let's Play of Jurassic Park: Trespasser. Swearing occurs occasionally and it's probably NSFW if your work considers people having cleavage as something your not suppose to look at (you'll know what I mean by the end of the first real video'.

I would recommend Markiplier's prop hunt playlist. It's definitely NSFW, but it was very entertaining. ..... At least until the most recent two episodes, which had a bit more crude humor than I find entertaining.

Sometimes it's just fun to hear things from Bob's perspective.

Edit:

Here's the video from the other perspective.



Watch this second. It's like the second half of the video.
