Let's go through the GBA library!

Time for me to do a LP!

I have a crap load of GBA games I might want to do so let's have some voting.

Your options for "season 1" are: The Soma Cruz Castlevania games, Advance Wars 1 and 2, the Mega Man Battle Network series, Golden Sun 1 and 2, the GBA Fire Emblem games, Metroid fusion and Zero Mission, Boktai, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, The Minish Cap, Sigma Star Saga, the Duel Masters games and YuGiOh Duel Academy. The top 5 will be played in that order! Warning a series or francise counts as 1. HAVE FUN!

If you can't do Harmony of Dissonance (which I love mostly for its music) you should go for the Sorrow Castlevanias.
Doing Golden Sun would be pretty much stealing someones gig as far as I know.
Fire Emblem would be fine, the dude who did those is banned and no one except me seemed to care about those anyway.

What format will the LP be in?
Have you done this before? If not, my suggestion would be to create some episodes in advance so you can find out what works best for you or if you can even pull it off.

I might do harmony of dissonance actually.

Sorry that's now added in.

The format will be written or screenshot depending on the game and I have done LP's before. Thanks for the warning though.

Ooh, Metroid! I haven't actually played a Metroid game since Super M.

(Or any before that.)

Sidescrollers for teh win!

By the way if you're going with screenshots, I'll advice in advance to get a screenshot program like Gadwin to avoid having to resize hundreds of stamp-sized pixel screens.

For the sidescrollers, I'd personally recommend doing a video LP. Not really sure how well Castlevania, for example, could work as a screenshot LP.

I was going to save just before I take the screenshots and if THAT fails I'll do a written LP for those.

Considering our most successful LP is Arhra's IWBTG, I'd say action platformers could work in screenshot format.

I'm voting for Fire Emblem.

Yeah, if you photoshop the hell out of it, adding in your own plot elements, and mspaint the most uninformative walkthrough ever.

It's all about execution, is what I'm saying.

...I wonder if there should be some sort of rule regarding a minimum number of posts you must make before you're eligible to start an LP.
...It's not that I think it necessarily should be illegal or anything, moreso that it just surprises me when someone shows up out of nowhere and immediately (probably erroneously) thinks that an LP project is going to work out.

...Not a specific criticism towards you, Fusionman, because I don't know you well enough to make the judgment call: just something I'm noticing generally lately. There are a hell of a lot of new LPs coming out the woodworks and at this juncture I almost wish we had separate LP and "regular talk about videogames threads" boards, the LPs are dominating the rest of the content. It's also hard to determine whether you're serious about your LP attempt (as I have no idea regarding your commitment / ability as an LPer) and thus whether I should spend time answering this.

(Mind you, this is coming from the guy who's failed at LPs twice in the past, you'll outdo me if you just get halfway on one.)

...Whatever happened to that "five LP maximum" rule, anyway? That was a good rule.

EDIT: Thanks NonCon.
