Let's Play - An Ongoing Trend on YouTube

With a lot of gamers across the world, Let's Play has been the best thing to for gamers to bank on. For years, we have been experiencing the long line of Let's Players around the world. The subject in Wikipedia states that Let's Plays specialize in subjective commentary with humorous moments and a focus on going through the story. I know that there are Let's Players that play Pokemon and it's the hardest thing to do a Let's Play on since the mainline games are divided into two versions. Today, Let's Play is something gamers have been cherishing on. Like, of course, PewDiePie, Chuggaconroy and Markiplier. Gamers in general would never stop being a gamer until they grow old because of long live gaming. That's how the documentary became an ongoing trend for decades.

I have been a gamer for years since I was 9 years old. Being a gamer means doing something productive for a change. If I said that I'm planning to become a Let's Player like others before me and recording gameplay videos, well, if I can't beat them, join them. So I did and that is since I have created my separate gaming channel on YouTube where I can post my Let's Play videos, gameplay videos and clips. I'll give you a link to my gaming channel at the end of this post.

I want to talk about one of the Let's Players that I have came across when there is something worthwhile. Enter 1smash18, gamer extraordinaire and Let's Player. He is one of the YouTubers who is known for his Let's Play series. His gameplay videos have commentary and involve Cartoon Network web games from the 2000s, which I know you guys loved those as kids. He now has a gaming computer. That unlocked playing more games other than SSF2 during Let's Play. Currently, he's doing his Hollow Knight Let's Play as he just uploaded the second episode of his Hollow Knight Let's Play series.

This is something that I want to do and with a gaming computer with bigger memory, a GPU and a CPU powerful enough. I am becoming a Let's Player like other gamers before me. I have finished the recording and the uploading process of my Let's Play series for Bug Fables. Now it's off to the publishing process. One of the videos is something interesting that you'll find out soon. My next series will be for Escape from Ever After as I have mentioned before. Beyond Escape from Ever After, there are more games to do my Let's Play series on, including LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, but the Steam version due to it having 50 GB of storage and not playing PS5 games stored on the hard drive.

But that's not all. Not only I am becoming a Let's Player like other gamers before me. I have talked about this in private, so it's time that to announce two things here. 

First off, I'll be streaming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and 2XKO on the same livestream in the near future, hoping if I can grow my channel anytime soon. But I need to think of a title for streaming these two games. I'm also recording my Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and 2XKO commentary matches and putting them on my gaming channel. And with the Duo Finder and a duo voice chat, I'm gonna be streaming and recording duos in 2XKO because it is best played as a duo. They are more fun than solos. Not by a little bit, but by a landslide.

However, I will have to wait until 1.2.3 comes out. Why? It's actually not the fact that it'll bring nerfs to Teamfight and Senna will definetely launch on the patch before Evo Las Vegas opens its doors that those who participated will earn a Pool Party Senna skin. But better yet, it's to fix the wonky VS screen glitch that occurs when the VS screen pops up twice.

And finally, I'm going to leave in June 10th to go to my old stomping grounds to attend to my aunt's 91th birthday on June 13th. I have finished packing my stuff. To make things easy, instead of packing my PlayStation 5, I'll be packing my computer with me. However, I will not be playing any games or doing some recording until I get back home on the 17th of June.

Now, if you're willing to become a Let's Player like others, you are more than welcome to do so because being a Let's Player is a productive thing to do. But you need a mic for commentary because without commentary, you can't make Let's Play videos.
