Recording a Lets Play on how to become King of Ireland in a single generation. Thought it'd make like a nice tutorial for people struggling to get into the game.

Paused recording to go to the bathroom. Just noticed after about 30 mins of gameplay when I finally create the title that I forgot to unpause it. This is about my 8th attempt to record this and I screw it up each time in ways completely unrelated to the actual gameplay. ¬¬ Have no idea how people do it!

I would whole heartedly welcome a good (really good) let's play that shows what the player is doing and explains what they are doing and why they are doing it.

I've been trying to get into the Paradox GS games since before Europa 3 and have just never managed it, when a new game like this comes out I'm left staring at the screen wondering what I should do first, and finally just give up and go try to find a decent LP to give me a good idea where to start and what it is that I should be doing. So far I've seen a couple LP's for CK2, but they've done a really poor job of explaining why they do what they do, and some are just not understandable as to what the player is actually doing when they don't bother to explain what they are doing.

Yeah, I'd really love a good LP that explains step by step what to do, why to do it, and why it's being done when it's being done to finally get me into one of the GS games of which I've bought quite a few over the years but never got beyond step one on my own really.

It all came to a head just as I realised I hadn't started recording again and my headphones fell off my head and knocked my cup of coffee out of my hand and onto the floor, lost my temper and chucked my headphones. Too wound up now. Problem is I'm such a nervous wreck expecting the recording to mess up somehow after so many false starts I keep making mistakes and forgetting to do stuff now, there's so much set up of getting good council members, looking for brides etc at the start of the game it's kinda sucked all fun out of it after so many restarts. I highly doubt my gameplay will be worthy of giving anyone any help. ;)

Think I'll have to leave it for someone else to do. :p

I started a Let's Play last night. The first episode is uploaded and the second is about 60% there as well...

[video=youtube_share;whZbp_ZgOzg]http://youtu.be/whZbp_ZgOzg[/video]

When I get a few more I'll create an AAR post.

If anyone is making these I find BandiCam excellent for recording and changing the settings.txt to run the game in a window at 1366x768 will mean it doesn't need to resize too much. BandiCam will also resize to 1280x720 ready for YouTube as you records. Hope that helps. :)
