So, I notice there's a smattering of Let's Play threads here, but they mostly consist of people posting their videos in search of subscribers or critique. I've watched bits and pieces of a number of Cave Story LP's just for the off chance any of them would be insightful or funny. And then, today, I found this:



An unusual "Let's Play" of Cave Story... as narrated by Balrog. By DeceasedCrab, no less, who definitely has the right voice for it (let's not discuss the 'acting' part of 'voice acting', though). No idea if everyone's already seen it and I'm way behind the times.

So, what do you think of Balrog Story? Are there any other Let's Plays that you think stand out from the sea of Cave Story LPs for any reason? What are they and why do you like em?

I remember this. DeceasedCrab is a gift to the human race :debug: I haven't run into much else though.

Uh... Did you even read the description/watch the video? It's the fact that he's doing it in character as Balrog.

This still isn't quite as good as the Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Special Edition LP, but it's interesting/a little different.

Jeez, I haven't been on YouTube in awhile, and during the times I had, I've never put effort into searching for Cave Story LPs. Only Cave Story related LP I've ever watched was Burnedkirby's WTF? Story.

I was browsing google images looking for some credit picture and then...
p158949-0-mqdefault.jpg
p158949-1-photo195.png

Saw her pic next to a curly pic randomly, and I kinda just stopped scrolling (hmmm ...if Curly Brace were real...)
Clicked on the pic and it brought me to a youtube video :


Unrelated to Cave Story... Still thinking she looked a lot like Curly Brace, I click to see what other videos she uploaded...
Let's Play Cave Story! (Ah, so that's why her picture appeared in google images...)

(The beginning xD) (also jump to 20:40 for Sand Zone/Curly Brace)


The Let's Play is incomplete unfortunately, but watching her LP reminded me when I first started playing Cave Story. Yes, I remember dying to Curly Brace as well xD I play quite differently than when I first started...

Anyway, I just found it unusual/notable since it was a surprise to run into Curly Brace doing a Let's Play :p
(And it's a good reminder of how well the difficulty works for Cave Story, allowing players of all skill to start simple without being bored, and then prod you as things gradually get tougher as you adapt!)

EDIT : Apparently she got Braces just before recording part 4. Truly Curly Braces! :p

A bit deeper, maybe? But if you mean he should have an actual deep voice then.... No, definitely not.

Oh boy, alright, what am I watching here. I love it though.

Hehe. I haven't watched the LP you just posted, but actually, I don't think I've ever seen Cave Story LPed by a girl before?? So it would actually be worth looking at, just cause.

As for who is an IRL Curly Brace, well...

He's too busy grooming his moustache if you know what I mean. Still somehow ties to WTFStory though iirc

You are watching a guy who talks about nachos in movie theaters

She is a killer Curly Brace... :heartrefill:
EDIT : Perhaps examining a dangerous situation, or something has caught her attention?
*stare* ... "Quote! This camera is recording!"

Originally :
Hmmmm... her expression doesn't really capture the emotion of the robot... (something wrong with that statement xD)
I always pictured Curly to be more impulsive; tomboyish maybe?
Overexpressive, compared to a human...

Ah though, this could be her default expression when not interacting with someone. The portraits only cover conversations after all...
Okay I'm done xD

Are you actually this stupid? It's an "LP" that's unique/unusual. That is literally the point of this thread: to post/discuss LPs that are creative in some way. If you don't "care", and if you have that much trouble following the discussion, then stop posting here and go post somewhere else.

I pictured Curly in the same way, kind of tomboyish. At the same time, the picture is probably just the girl showing off her cosplay. :D No extra thought put into the expression and all that.

Some guy posted a thread about his LP's back whenever. It's like frequent CoD player meets Cave Story, it's hilarious. He only made 2 parts, though.
