Inspired by [the Something Awful subforum](http://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=191) of the same name, I have half a mind to replay some of my older video games and recording my progress in the name of enlightening you Dopers.

The games that I’m considering:

- Disgaea 2
- Dynasty Warriors 5
- Final Fantasy Tactics
- Legend of Mana
- Orochi Warriors
- Samurai Warriors 2

Couple a questions:

1. Mods, would this be kosher? (I wouldn’t hotlink any of the images, obviously.)
2. Would anybody be interested in reading or making their own LP threads?

It would be worth a shot. The only thing is that this community is different from SA, so it may or may not go as well with this crowd.

It would be fun to try, but I personally would probably give up partway through to escape the pressure of updating often enough and having to be funny or interesting.

Oh man, Dynasty Warriors 5. I have DW5 it’s awesome, bonus points for expansion games for it. DW5: Extreme Legends, DW5: Empires, DW5: Cao Ren My Secret Daddybear Lover…

…oh wait, that last one is in my personal collection.

Do DW5, it’s fun, and Zhang He is ripe for parody. 😃

Yeah, hardly the height of humor. I also have the video of this playthrough, but I’ll need to re-render it so it doesn’t take forever to upload via Youtube.
