Link to original post: [drupal=2662]Why Paper > Rock. And Turtles. Let's Play: Paper Mario![/drupal]
*don't be intimidated by the "long" read. first two paragraphs are plot and description of video game*
Paper Mario, the what many people consider spiritual sequel to Super Mario RPG, is the first installment in the popular Paper Mario series, being released in 2001. It was developed by Intelligent System who you might know for their production of the Fire Emblem series. It was first released on the Nintendo 64 and then ported over to iQue player (China only) and even the Wii’s Virutal Console, which I will be playing on mainly because my Nintendo 64 has been running into a few problems lately.
The story of Paper Mario takes place like most other Mario games, except with a bit of a twist. This time, rather than having to go to Bowser’s Castle, he comes to Princess Peach’s who was holding a party at the time. You, as Mario, are about to stop Bowser again until you realize he has the Star Rod, which can grant any wish you desire. Your main quest in order to save the Mushroom Kingdom is to gather the seven star spirits who were captured by Bowser and defeat him with their help! Just like Super Mario RPG, you will also run into partners along the way.
So yeah, this is it Smashboards, I’m going to try this out and see how well things go. Seeing that 1UPChris’ screenshot LP seemed to work out well, I’m going to try out a video LP thread and hope it doesn't blow over. Discussion, suggestions, and criticism are encouraged throughout the course of this Let’s Play obviously. Now unlike Pokemon, Paper Mario really isn’t as interactive between the LP’er and viewers, so I’ve got a bit of a suggestion right from the get-go. How about challenges? (inspired from Oyster’s Mega Man LP’s)
Now the game is set out like a lot of RPG’s, in a chapter sort of way. Maybe you guys could post challenges or something for the videos.
Challenges for one video, to one dungeon, to one boss fight, to pretty much anything. Anything that will keep the video fresh and interesting so I'm not just sitting there playing the game like everyone else played it before.
Please though, if you have a challenge.. don't post it if it's way ahead of it's time. Kind of spoils the game and it's really confusing..
I don't want to feel like I'm forcing this suggestion on this "interactive" thread, but challenges are the only thing I can really think of that would work actually, so I just went ahead and posted it up. If you have anything though, go ahead and post it. Hope you guys enjoy the show.
I'll be using Viddler as a main uploading source (hopefully), because Veoh is for some reason showing porn right next to the video, and Youtube's time limit is a bit.. well stupid I guess. I will upload them to youtube also, but that's for my subscriber base since I promised them I'd come back to this LP.
