Let's Player University - SleepyCast

[@kingofpain11111]

Jerma and Vinesauce is a great example of gaming comedy and other weird shit. I believe that they have a long lifespan.

[@Garethsmod]

Jerma building a gamer birdhouse is probably the best example of live streaming done right.

[@zess_t5952]

Well jerma has like 5 years of life left so idk

[@sarmin8008]

The mix of variety streaming mixed with focussing on being laidback rather than an entertainer is what makes it good. Especially recently with Jermas big extravaganza streams and vinny doing random weird shit

"Let's playing is not the problem... it's the mentality of this is an occupation that is going to be around forever and it's permanent" Chris has said he only uses Oney Plays to pay bills and it'll probably end when he's in a better place (or when he's bored of it or it stops making money).

[@robbieliddle2462]

"Let's Play University" is the greatest YA story concept I've ever heard of and I hate it.

[@Garethsmod]

I remember when I met Doug Walker I accidentally insulted because I was so nervous, I don't think he took it as that but I remember just saying something about buying a signed copy of kickassia and saying how it was a waste of money because it was on KZbin, when I meant to say something along the lines of someone would see this as a waste of money. After that experience I really can't get myself to approach an autograph table at any of these conventions.

[@notheatedge5750]

but did he bled at you along with peter griffin

[@Stacko1515]

Good, you should never go near one.

[@deltaloraine]

If I were to meet a KZbinr I’d probably just say hi or something (if its natural) and then later tell my friends I saw them. When I was younger....that would probably be a different story. I think kids just get really excited and don’t think about it. I mean, after all, they’ve only heard/seen you through a screen. So when they see you in the real world, you’re like a fictional character come to life.

[@rudedude7874]

The thing about them talking about fans seeing people they look up to reminds me of when I saw Doug Walker at an airport once and I didn't do shit because I had a sandwich on my hands

[@krybucket4383]

Chris chan is the first lets player

[@TheMasterTelevision]

nah man, way before that. In the early 2000's Chris would make Animal Crossing Lets Plays, and he would send them into Nintendo to see if they were interested in his content. Oddly enough, if Nintendo took his stupid video seriously, Chris could've become a millionaire

[@Abdega]

@R Wait… Chris could have been PewDiePie but was just the product of bad timing…

[@sparkeee3]

The first lets play is arguably made by chris chan

[@jamesbentley7241]

Him, ProtonJon, NintendoCapriSun, SuperSkarmory, and others are some of the earliest Lets Players and honestly I feel like they don't get enough credit for it.

[@exetone]

@@jamesbentley7241 I feel like they dont because they haven't developed their content, they still just upload unedited footage of them playing a game by themselves which isn't something a lot of people want to watch anymore

[@fatherhadez]

It's really funny that Zach said LP only have 5 years left and now Its bigger than ever and he even plays with Chris on an LP channel. I think 99% of LP are shit though.

[@kaisiru]

I hope Zach's right in that let's playing has 5 or so years left because the shit is getting so old at this point. Like I wouldn't want people to lose their jobs but IMO this shits gone on for far too long and I can't watch the people I used to watch (Game Grumps,Achievement Hunter,ect) cause they don't even sound like they enjoy it anymore. That or constantly forced humor.

[@saintlaurentdon2725]

pretty much agree with everything. I used to be huge fans of those guys and more but now I only can watch OneyPlays and SuperMega occasionally

[@SpyGuysX]

Zack was right, let's players are dying. But like all trends, when it dies it gets replaced. I hope you like streamers.

[@kaisiru]

SpyGuysX I dont mind streamers because you can interact with the guy playing the game. Im just sick of 150 separate parts of a lets play that have 4 maybe 5 funny parts.

[@FriezaSucks]

It just doesn't sound good either tbqh. Like, who wants to actually tell other adults, especially their peers when they're older that they make a living playing video games all day for a young audience on the internet? It's not as gratifying as saying you worked for your house and learned skills. "Jeeze, I'm tired and sore from a long day of hard work cutting wood and moving soil. How was your day, Todd?" "Oh you know, I'm tired from playing video games all day" "Ah"

[@CommercialKarma]

Went from game grumps to oneyplays. Best switch i ever made😩 arin and dan sound bored now, and fuckin oneyplays keeps me awake with their fuckin shitty and horrible sense of humor 😂

[@ZippyRagu]

Commentary will never go away, but lets play will. You'll see it take another form, like streaming.

[@MrDarthbrony]

Has anyone been getting the ads of the guy thats basically this? They predicted it.

[@Crizzly122]

I dont see what's wrong with literal children saying "I want to get paid to play video games and be famous" I knew a fucking kid who wanted to be a 'candy tester' when I was in 2nd grade, theyre fucking children if they think they can get paid to have fun theyll wanna do that. When they grow up 90% of them will realize oh hey I need to get a real job Im not gonna get paid to play video games. Im sure most if not all of the people on Sleepycast had their parents tell them at least once "youre not gonna get paid for drawing" and they wouldnt knock on kids wanting to be animators

[@Biodeamon]

can you IMAGINE the amount of controversy that would happen in this type of university like they're already a festering cesspool

[@KeeloToons]

This aged like fine wine

[@GuitarsRgood7]

I remember I was at Anime Expo like 6 years ago, and saw Ross and Suzy doing a meet and greet. I went in the line to just say hi. Ross didn't look so good, and he walked away after a few minutes, and didn't come back. Then I was listening to Game Grumps or something with him in it like a month later and he explained that he had terrible food poisoning at AX. Then I realized that it was that day that I saw him!

man... two best friends... dang... why you gotta remind me... that stings... now i', sad oh well it'll pass, just like lets players

[@n0isyturtle]

I just think it's sad that kids these days would rather watch someone else play a game instead of experiencing the game for themselves. One of the greatest things video games have to offer as a medium is the player's ability to influence what happens in it.

[@DonaldFromKingdomHearts]

I mean I get it. It's almost like a way of socializing. That's how we're built. We like seeing people's reactions to things. Besides people who see and like the game usually get them themselves too. People who watch let's plays are usually into video games. So they'll also play themselves, watch video game news, anything video game related. I spend a lot of time watching let's plays but also playing for myself, talking about video games and design, developing etc etc Nothing says that you can only do one or the other

[@surprisedchar2458]

It’s more that video games are pretty expensive in terms of both hardware and software. Remember that Fortnite and minecraft are packed with kids because you can run both on a toaster and one of them is free. Most people I know, myself included, didn’t start playing a lot of games until we were 15-16 which is when we started working. Plus it’s more productive, healthier, and usually cheaper to encourage other hobbies like arts, or sports, or music. I mean what would you rather be paying as a parent? $250 plus $60-$90 a pop for a console and games, or for some cheap starter art supplies, or a one time payment on a flute?
