'''Let's Play''' is a fancy term for someone playing a [[video game]] and recording that playthrough for the enjoyment of the internet (and to become [[internet famous]]). Unlike [[Speed | '''Let's Play''' is a fancy term for someone playing a [[video game]] and recording that playthrough for the enjoyment of the internet (and to become [[internet famous]]). Unlike [[Speed Demos Archive|speed-running]] (and its cousin with a gambling addiction, [[Tool Assisted Speedrun|tool assisted speed-running]]), the goal of an "LP" is to show off the game, not beat some [[Japan]]ese [[basement dweller]]'s time. Though with the way most people do LPs, you wouldn't know the difference. | ||
Imagine a video perfectly lit and in high resolution. It stars a girl dancing rhythmically to soothing music. With her legs slightly torn apart, she finally proceeds to bend her back and slowly take off her panties, revealing herself to be neither too skinny nor too filled but perfectly fit. She goes down on her knees, taking in a man. She says with a high pitched melodious voice "Your penis is manly. It is so proportionally big." Her perky hands grabs for her iPhone but her lover pushes her to the bed and dives into her. They change positions, with the camera following with different angles. For each thrust he can feel as if all cares, worries, pains and regrets he ever had disappears. The camera follows her on her back and suddenly you can see her top going of, revealing erect nipples. Suddenly he explodes, and she tastes him with her finger, as if to make the moment last forever. Then we have a muffled brownie shot in the dark. There we have Let's Plays. | |||

Because they started the whole trend and require you to pony up $10 to even be allowed to post, most goons believe that their LPs are the best ones on the internet and ones from anywhere else are complete shit. | Because they started the whole trend and require you to pony up $10 to even be allowed to post, most goons believe that their LPs are the best ones on the internet and ones from anywhere else are complete shit. Technically, they're right; But needless to say they are retarded for being elitist over recording themselves playing video games for the internet. So don't expect to be received warmly if you post your first LP on the same day you register, repost your old shit from Youtube, or post ''anything'' without running it by at least 10 people in the technical support thread (dubbed "The LP Sandcastle") first. | ||
Because of this elitism, they are also responsible for starting the [[Retsupurae]] trend, [[MST|where a person mocks]] other LPs and occasionally other things like bad [[Newgrounds|flash movies]] and [[fanime]]. While the motive for starting this is wanky and stupid, it still produces [[lulz]] and hilarious amounts of [[butthurt]]. | Because of this elitism, they are also responsible for starting the [[Retsupurae]] trend, [[MST|where a person mocks]] other LPs and occasionally other things like bad [[Newgrounds|flash movies]] and [[fanime]].

Since all of the 13 year old boys who normally watch LPs can't post on SA without stealing their parents' credit card and most of the internet doesn't want to deal with SA's probation happy mods, they all conjugate here. Also unlike goons, they don't have money to burn for the sake of "comedy" and want their internet fame right NOW, so expect a lot of these: | Since all of the 13 year old boys who normally watch LPs can't post on SA without stealing their parents' credit card and most of the internet doesn't want to deal with SA's probation happy mods, they all conjugate here.
