I've hinted at this thing in my twitter, but it seems like I am actually going to do it.

Back when The Last Remnant was on sale on Steam for about $5 (I think?), I had bad memories of trying to play the thing on the 360 and getting halfway through before deciding the bugs weren't worth the trouble. But other "internet friends" of mine who played the PC version assured me that it was infinitely better than the de-facto beta version released on console that Square Enix has not and probably will never patch. So I took their word, bit the bullet and decided to purchase and download the thing off Steam.

One day, noticing that the game was sitting on my hard drive unplayed for awhile, I decided to start it up and take screenshots while playing. I thought about doing a Let's Play!/Endurance Run/walkthrough with side commentary for awhile, and mentioned it on and off. In a strange way, I actually started to like this game, or at least enough of it to consider doing this thing. Now with a little bit of booze running through my system and a wired controller in hand, will I see this through to the end? I damn well hope so.

The format I have in mind for this thing is a screenshot with writing on the sides. Or is it writing with screenshots in between? Either way, it's easier to write it out and edit than to do editng of a video on my end. And while I shall attempt to explain the plot, there's a good chance the writing will be unserious so as to summarize the thing easier and...well, it's a story that gives you a bunch of interesting characters only to stick you with the whiny brat as the hero. We'll see if this works or if it was a bad idea somewhere down the road.

The Last Remnant: Endure This! Run!

I was loaned this game (360) over a year ago by a friend who insisted that it was good. I just couldn't bring myself to start the game after reading all the cons, with technical issues being most noteworthy. He still hasn't even mentioned it or asked for it back, which also doesn't bode well for the possibility I may enjoy it. I notice you mention "a little bit of booze running through my system", which is interesting as my friend enjoys his games while intoxicated. I'm no drinker, so if that's the necessary ingredient for enjoying this game, well then I dunno. Best of luck with your ER.

Another person's trying their hand at screenshot LPs? Interesting. I'll give it a read, especially since I have some ideas for screenshot LPs (they're easier to do and allow more control than video LPs). I'd recommend reading some other screenshot LPs to get a feel for what they're like, though, before tackling this. Here's a particularly good one.

@Video_Game_King: I love The Dark Id's LPs. He's definitely one of my favorites.

@uniform: The booze comment was a throwaway line on my current situation. The game is not that bad (at least from what I have played so far) but there are a few parts that get annoying. I'll explain some of those when I get the first official post down.
