    I've started a let's play series, called "The many deaths of Barry."

    Barry the 1st has cruelly had his life taken from him by a Diggle (and player incompetence) and soon Barry the 2nd will enter the dungeon to avenge him.

    All games are played Going Rogue Permadeath with random skills. As all true roguelikes should be played.

    Barry the 3rd: http://youtu.be/zZLwldzFGas
    Barry the 4th:

    Watch and give feedback, I hope to do a few of these.

    Anyone else have a let's play series?

    Nice play Hyfrydle. I saw it yesterday.

    A lot more informative than I suspect mine are :D

    I'm planing on putting up a new video every day, I'm recording them ahead of time so that if I don't have time to record on a particular day I should still have a video to put online.

    I'll be updating this thread, embedding the latest video and having a list of links to previous episodes.

    Nice LPs, both of you. You have both earned a subscription from me. :D

    BilbyCoder, was that a Discworld reference from Barry 2? I approve!

    If either of you have a spare minute, I'd be grateful if you could check out my attempt at an LP for this game.

    Part 2 is on the way, and will be here very soon, and of course, here is a link to my channel if I have convinced anyone to subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/user/lordiacobus

    I hope to see more LPs for this game, it's good LP material.

    Alright, a new video has been uploaded. It would have gone better if I'd remembered I had explosives.

    The Video is linked here: http://youtu.be/zZLwldzFGas and embedded in the first post.

    For those who are interested I thought that I would list how I make the Let's Plays.

    Software I use: Fraps, Avidmux and Audacity. Apart from fraps they are all free. I was having issues with fraps at first. The way I got it to record DoD was by setting monitor Aero to on.

    Avidmux is a free open source video editor that works with Windows. I was using VirtualDub for the first couple of videos but it had issues with the 30 gig worth of footage I was feeding it so I switched.

    Audacity is a free open source sound editor that has lots of good options for recording sound. I've worked with it a fair bit and find it quite a capable program.

    DoD is set to 1080 * 720 and fullscreen. I have the music and sound effects down very low.

    As of episode 4 I do not record my voice with fraps. I record it into Audacity. Then once I've merged the fraps chunks I export the game audio and use Audacity to balance the sound. You should find that from episode 4 on the sound balance gets much better. I then reimport the sound back into Avidmux and render the video for upload.

    And that's the process. It's a little fiddly with the sound but not too hard.

    Hope you dont mind me copying your idea BilbyCoder - its such a fun premise I figured more fun cant hurt - I've started up my own series with the same idea as yours (ive given you a shout out and a link on the video, is only fair since I pinched your idea!)
