Also, don't forget TJP7291, my Chip's Challenge Youtube channel.

[quiznos00 534]

I don't do Let's Plays And even if I did, I wouldn't use quiznos00 to post them on. You could also link to Andrew's channel, even though he hasn't posted anything in a while...

[jblewis 328]

Thanks for doing this, Rock!

[rockdet 99]

I think it's a good idea to reunite everyone under a same topic so people who search for that find it easily

[BigOto2 69]

Don't forget ChipWiki, which uploads pure vanilla solutions to many levels. It might even deserve its own topic for those who are stuck on a level and simply want a video walkthrough without having to download them.

[rockdet 99]

That's what I was thinking. I want individuals here, where to go to have fun watching peeps kill themselves and laugh/rage about it

[Flareon350 601]

This is pretty cool actually. At least this will make my LPs somewhat more popular. Thanks for this!

[James 196]

I qualify for this list?

[jblewis 328]

I'd hope that the LPer responsible for the term "Chinese Keyboard Fail" would be on it.

[rockdet 99]

Precisely

[BigOto2 69]

Also, he said one of his New Year's resolutions was to get going with it, because NOBODY likes stalled LP's... OK, it isn't that bad, but either way I always look forward to more videos from those who haven't uploaded in a while.

[rockdet 99]

He SHALL reach salvation

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

I wish I could get back in the mood to do LPs again. Having to set up the mic and talking for hours is much harder than I thought it would be. Maybe one day I'll finish them all.

[BigOto2 69]

I don't think it is that bad; I can record for 3 hours straight if I wanted to even though it makes it much harder to speak clearly for some reason, but everyone's different. Plus, my patience starts to grow thin if I play one game for too long, so that explains why JoshL2 got a bit out of hand in the previous recording session.

[geodave 98]

I'd do LPs more if I was any good at P-ing

[jblewis 328]

I have way too much of an issue with being a perfectionist and saying everything properly...

[rockdet 99]

I usually compensate for bad commentary by doing noises. lol

[BigOto2 69]

I usually compensate for bad commentary by doing noises. lol

 

 

Just had to.

[jblewis 328]

The last episode from Rock (Nostril3.dat #2) was just brilliant on so many levels.

[rockdet 99]

Oh thank you so much, J.B. What did you enjoy more of it?

[BigOto2 69]

The last episode from Rock (Nostril3.dat #2) was just brilliant on so many levels.

 

Except there was only one level played - we talking about sublevels now? Just had to say that. Anyway, I agree with J.B., that episode is certainly a classic Rockdet video.

[jblewis 328]

Chipmunking, random commentary, funny reactions (the teeth chase was just wonderful)...it's all there.

[BigOto2 69]

Still, it was kinda sorta missing the signature quote "Perhaps maybe question mark?" Not that it makes a Rockdet video classic though, there are a bunch of other quotes such as "Damn the f%$* up!" that can do the same.

[jblewis 328]

I think Rock did say, "perhaps, maybe..." but without the question mark.

[BigOto2 69]

I think Rock did say, "perhaps, maybe..." but without the question mark.

 

LOL, I remember that part. The presence of a question mark there depends on the circumstances of the situation, for sure.

[Flareon350 601]

Still trying to figure out my catch phrase...does anyone know?

[rockdet 99]

I don't always have to fulfill that quote I can also reverse the order, remove some, play around with it

[BigOto2 69]

I don't always have to fulfill that quote I can also reverse the order, remove some, play around with it

 

This makes it even more funny, though, sometimes it's just a "question mark" which is also hilarious.

[rockdet 99]

There are some classic rockdet episodes indeed. I try to make every one of these a classic, but some moments are just way beyond that

[Flareon350 601]

I wonder what episode of CC I have thats classic.

[Lessinath 45]

I should do LPs but I don't ...

[micronexer97 4]

http://www.youtube.com/user/FrinkelJinks97

 

Mainly K'nex models, but some CC thrown in. Please have a look at the CCLP1 entries I showed through there (:

[rockdet 99]

OK added

[micronexer97 4]

Cheers Rock

[Lessinath 45]

Is this the appropriate thread to ask someone to LP shattered glass? I think it'd be good for it.

[rockdet 99]

It is certainly appropriate

[Green Kitten 15]

R...r...r...r...ockdet...?

 

you're gonna hate me once you see level 85 111

[rockdet 99]

Episode 13 has given me ire.

[Green Kitten 15]

Haha can't wait to see it

[rockdet 99]

You'll have it shortly I guess, whenever I decide to activate myself and post it.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Does anybody know how to get rid of the Youtube time limit? It seems to be random whether you qualify for it or not.

[Flareon350 601]

What do you mean by this Tom?

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

What do you mean by this Tom?

 

I have 2 accounts. One has no time limit (AdrenalinDragon) and the other does (TJP7291, my Chip's Challenge channel). I just don't understand how I qualified for the no time limit.

[Flareon350 601]

Basically to qualify for the no time limit, you have to upload frequently on the account that has a time limit. In other words, you simply have to be active on the account and behave yourself on it. Lol.

[Hornlitz 69]

Interesing... I don't usually go on my account on a normal computer and I don't have any time limit...

 

It must account your iPod time too, because I'm on youtube all the time on it...

[Flareon350 601]

Interesing... I don't usually go on my account on a normal computer and I don't have any time limit...

That's just what I think because that's how I got the limitless time limit. There can be other reasons that I don't know of

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Interesing... I don't usually go on my account on a normal computer and I don't have any time limit...

Youtube has had a redesign, so maybe some rules have changed, but I think 15 minutes is the standard limit for regular accounts.

[geodave 98]

Not sure how I qualified, but I no longer have a time limit.

[rockdet 99]

Well, being active it is, with a good behavior So I guess you're not that much of a bad boy, Dave

[geodave 98]

Well, not on youtube, anyway!

 

You want to see bad, check this out:

 

[rockdet 99]

Yeah I remember seeing that one

[Flareon350 601]

Youtube has had a redesign, so maybe some rules have changed, but I think 15 minutes is the standard limit for regular accounts.

 

That's how it was when I first used my Flareon350 account. It's actually 15:30 for some strange reason.

[BigOto2 69]

As far as I know, you have to go a certain amount of time without any copyright issues, as they don't want people uploading whole TV shows or movies or stuff like that. You should get the limit off soon.

 

I remember back when YouTube had only a 10-minute limit, those were good times.

[quiznos00 534]

And yet, even though my account has had several copyright strikes and community guideline strikes against it, I too can upload videos more than 15 minutes

[rockdet 99]

Actually, 11 minute videos were annoying to edit, tbh. 15:30 was looser which I liked much, and since then I try to keep my vids around that mark.

[BigOto2 69]

That's true, I try to keep my videos a bit shorter so people can watch them more easily in one sitting, but longer videos I can deal with. My Minecraft series will be kept to around 15 minutes per video at most, because they are in 1080p HD which takes up TONS of space (and plus I think it fits the series better to have shorter videos).

[Lessinath 45]

Well, rock, I know I greatly enjoy your LPs and would be very sad if you stopped doing them... so keep up the good work

 

I enjoy BigOto's LPs a great deal as well, for the record.

 

...

 

On a related note, I'm considering doing an LP of CC1 but if I start doing them I'll probably do Skyrim first. What do you think?

[rockdet 99]

Skyrim is definitely something I'm eager to see from inside. Didn't want to watch any "influent people" LP it for some reason.

[BigOto2 69]

What's Skyrim?

 

Go ahead everyone, kill me now. I've been asking this for quite some time, and finally came out of the closet here.

[rockdet 99]

The fifth installment of the very popular series The Elder Scrolls, Oblivion being the best-seller fourth game. I never played them because I don't like the genre, but definitely worth a look if you're into that.

[BigOto2 69]

I hate how everyone says it's the only good game these days. It's overrated. I am so f#$%ing sick of "Arrow to the knee" jokes too, I swear if anyone makes one on here I will deploy a to their house.

[rockdet 99]

Well, one must respect the hype for it certainly, as opinion rhyme with bias.

Plus, it is a pretty good game indeed, so I don't think it's overrated at all, the CoD series is... At the very least, they innovate with new concepts and one must admit that a lot of time and effort was spent in this title.

Having played it to total completion on one character and with a second about half way there, I can tell you that it isn't overrated at all. It isn't the *only* good game released recently, but it's certainly up there in the topmost tier. And if you have not played it yourself, you can't really review it at all.

 

I do, however, find the "arrow to the knee" meme stupid as well.

With that said, you can also tell where they took shortcuts.

[rockdet 99]

Yeah my point was not leaned that way since I haven't played it, but I sure know that it deserves the attention drawn to it.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Call Of Duty is quite possibly the most overrated game series this generation. Only 1, 2 and 4 were good. After 4, they screwed PC gamers over.

[Hornlitz 69]

I use to like "arrow to the knee" jokes,

BUT THEN I -----

got bored of them.

[rockdet 99]

I don't even know what that is but I don't think I want to discover.

[Lessinath 45]

I don't even know what that is but I don't think I want to discover.

 

It isn't that bad. In Skyrim some of the town guards say, "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."

 

Apparently someone decided it would make a nice meme. But it's not. It's just stupid.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

I enjoyed Skyrim much more than Oblivion due to slaying Dragons but I don't really see how you could LP a game that long to be honest.

[Lessinath 45]

I enjoyed Skyrim much more than Oblivion due to slaying Dragons but I don't really see how you could LP a game that long to be honest.

 

I'd only LP the main quest and the civil war quest line - maybe a few others here and there. All in all, it shouldn't be more than 30 hours total.

[Flareon350 601]

I'd only LP the main quest and the civil war quest line - maybe a few others here and there. All in all, it shouldn't be more than 30 hours total.

 

30 hours is still a pretty long LP. I know my Paper Mario: TTYD LP was 21 hours long, and there's 70 episodes of it, most of which were 20 minutes.

[rockdet 99]

30 hours is fine if you're ready to deal with it.

[BigOto2 69]

If anyone's seen Kurtjmac's Far Lands Or Bust series (Minecraft), he plans on playing for more than 1000 hours in the LP alone. So far he is about 2% of the way there at 100 20-minute episodes.

[Lessinath 45]

30 hours is fine if you're ready to deal with it.

 

I don't have the time so I can't do it yet, but, yes I can handle that. I will, however, do something shorter first.

[rockdet 99]

Just tell us when you start. I'll add your channel in the list as well.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

I think you'd have to do it in segments rather than a whole clip. When I was doing a speed run for certain games, they were disqualified because of saving.

[rockdet 99]

That blows.

[jblewis 328]

I actually had this conversation take place with some friends when we were watching The Two Hours the other night:

 

"Oooh, I love Rohan!"

"You mean Skyrim, right?"

"Oh."

[rockdet 99]

Gotta love when two peeps aren't talking about the same thing

[Lessinath 45]

I actually had this conversation take place with some friends when we were watching The Two Hours the other night:

 

"Oooh, I love Rohan!"

"You mean Skyrim, right?"

"Oh."

 

But last I checked, Rohan didn't have giants to smash you with.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Guys, look out in a couple of weeks on my AdrenalinDragon Youtube channel, because I rage quit for the first time on "I Wanna Be The Guy".

[rockdet 99]

Oh that's gonna be hilarious. You're the perfect guy to try to be the guy

[jblewis 328]

So I just found out today that The Kid in IWBTG is an unlockable character in Super Meat Boy. Awesome.

[geodave 98]

Gauntlet Dark Legacy had tons of unlockable characters, including a happy-face-stick-man. (I believe there's also a nude Valkrie, although she comes with black censor boxes -- also available in one of the Gauntlet arcade games.)

[jblewis 328]

I'm still waiting for some game out there to include the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" banana as an unlockable character.

[rockdet 99]

:O What!?

[BigOto2 69]

That's about the same chance as the Angry German Kid or Freakout Kid to be included in Mario Kart 8 when it comes out. LOL

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

That's about the same chance as the Angry German Kid or Freakout Kid to be included in Mario Kart 8 when it comes out. LOL

 

Has anyone done an Angry German Kid parody on Chip's Challenge yet?

[rockdet 99]

Well, Trevor has done something with it.

[Flareon350 601]

And it was extremely hilarious.

[jblewis 328]

What's funny about that was that I had never seen the "Angry German Kid" video before watching Trevor's...which made it even more hilarious.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

I can't believe it took me until today to watch this, but this is two thumbs up. (Y)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in6RZzdGki8

[Flareon350 601]

OMG Tom where the hell have you been?! This stuff is classic!! (Y)

[BigOto2 69]

If you guys want to see my Angry German Kid parody for CCLP3 here it is (took 8 hours to make if I recall correctly, as I was really bored):

This video is my revenge against the *horribly* stupid CCLP3 rule that you can't upload videos on YouTube until 3 people have completed the set. When CCLP1 comes around I will advocate to my limits for casual Let's Plays to be allowed right from the start, even if that means risking a copyright strike so I can make a Hitler parody thing as revenge when needed.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjtTzDcHukY

 

I've seen that Frustration thing at least 3 times, it's hilarious but sad that he BBQRageQuits at the end.

[jblewis 328]

Trevor, the only reason why we didn't allow videos of CCLP3 to be posted online right away is because we didn't want solutions to be readily available for everyone - even as a temptation - right from the start. With no solutions available initially, more casual play is encouraged. It has nothing to do with copyright.

[geodave 98]

I'm still okay with this rule. But maybe we should consider allowing LPs of the first 50 levels after 10 people have finished them, or something.

[riph2lemonz 0]

http://youtube.com/users/riph2lemonz

[BigOto2 69]

When I said copyright I was actually talking about the Hitler video (which is certainly copyrighted), but initially when I got word that I wasn't supposed to upload videos of CCLP3 I was so freaked out about copyright it was actually hilarious, so it has since turned into a joke from my point of view. I was also under the false understanding that ChipWiki was in supreme control of anything CCLP-related back then, so that explains why they file the copyright claim in the AGK video. I agree with Dave in that LP's of early levels especially for CCLP1 (since it's easier) should be allowed when ~3 people finish them. I don't mind waiting a month or so, but anymore than that and it seems stupid (unless it's only the harder levels that are being restricted).

[rockdet 99]

I'm perfectly fine with the gag rule they installed, but I don't see it as an issue ATM with the return of the revenge of casual play.

Also, Tom, this video is what made it all begin for me.

[jblewis 328]

Yeah, me neither, to be honest. But at the time, the LP craze hadn't quite hit yet. It definitely has now!

[Lessinath 45]

Regarding CCLP1 LP's - I think people should be allowed to on a level-by-level thing, so say, when 3 or 5 or whatever arbitrary number of people it is have beaten a level it's open for LPing.

 

If the set is designed correctly, this means the first 50 or so levels will be unlocked very quickly - maybe even within a few days - with the end levels taking a bit longer, but with the difficulty goal in mind the set should be entirely available for LPing probably within a month...

 

We would need to make a thread to track this, of course.
