    I prefer the non-DSP kind of let's players.

    As a let's player I do shut up during speaking parts even if it's blind and will wait until it's over to comment on what's just happened

    I saw the mention of DSP and I swear my vision just went red for a second.

    I can't believe people actually call filmed playthroughs Let's Plays now. People used to just title them walkthrough, run or playthrough and we all understood what that meant because it made sense. Like seriously. I remember when Let's Play became the buzzword for amateur I should not care about playing a game I do not care about, but here it is now, being all up in the normal nomenclature over far more reasonable sounding alternative just because some no talent, worthless hacks wanted to bite on some other kid's style. Holy shit. Am I the only one who thinks this is strange or at least amusing?

    I really couldn't give less of a shit man. People enjoy making them or watching them. It's not harming anyone. You can easily avoid them, but still, you're welcome to dislike it. I just find doing so with such vim and vigor kind of a waste.

    I don't dislike it anymore than any other kind of playthrough. I do, however, think the whole change of word and subsequent rise in popularity is pretty strange, but not in the unexpected way because repackaging has been a thing forever, but with something like this it happened quickly and happened not due to some company trying to cash in necessarily so much as "the people" made the decision. If you enjoy watching people at all, it's interesting. Also, you'd have known that if you had read the slightest bit into my last post.
