Interest Check for an LP.

So I find myself with copious amounts of free-time, and nothing to do with it other than sit on my ass and listen to music. So, in order to fill this hour and a half long waste of space in my day, i've been thinking of doing an LP of Galactic Civilizations 2 on these forums, since I don't have a Something Awful account and have completely failed to remember to save money for one.

It'll be in a screenshot format, with my usual commentary [poo], although I will be doing some more creative [poo] from the viewpoints of the different factions, just to flex my creative muscles a little bit. It's really meant just for some fun, maybe involve the community a bit when it comes to fleet leaders or Senators or some [poo]. Anyway, if anyone would be interested, feel free to respond. If nobody is interested, i'm going to do it anyway, because [m'kay] you all you don't know my creative GENIUS

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is an 'LP'? That'll help me and others get what you're aiming to do.

A LP is a "Let's Play". Basically, he plays a game, and posts screenshots and reports on what's happening. There are a lot of different styles for this (written in or out of character, humorous or serious [usually the former]); Narg's already stated pretty much what he'll do. Some LP'ers get the community involved by asking their input on decisions, naming ingame units after community figures, etc.

As for interest: I'll read it.

I will be publishing this LP to vinyl in order to reach my older target audience

Cool, i'll just add you to the fifteen other LPers I watch. I'm think of doing one too, I might do Assassins Creed, probably on YouTube.
