I should also address these, since I'm here. =D
We're trying to strike a balance with our LPs. We spend a lot of time trying to secure games for these LPs, and we have heard complaints that they're too short, so we've made them longer (I'd say we've increased time maybe 50%, but that's anecdotal). We typically don't revisit games or play them for hours, however, because of a few reasons:
1.) We see our statistics, and know that people don't necessarily hang around past a certain time in numbers necessary to use more production time to lengthen LPs.
2.) Without fail, a second, third, or fourth video of a game we've already played performs poorer than the first, sometimes significantly. A good example of this is the NHL '94 tournament, which I was positive would have done universally great, yet the first video did awesome, the second video did meh, and the third video, I believe, is our lowest-watched LP overall.
Also, I hope you guys do a Quiplash Let's Play. All four of you can play and if you stream it the audience can also participate by voting as well. I would love to see what Nick's dirty mind can come up with as answers.
3.) Because there are only five of us, and we make so much content, we really only have 4-6 hours a week to set-up and produce our Let's Plays before we have to hand them off to Kevin to be edited. To help facilitate easier production, we invested in a green screen so that we don't have to break down the set and bring everything into the living room, which I think will result in longer LPs ultimately, but we're still figuring everything out.
We'd love to refine our LP product -- and we will as time goes on, because we're in total agreement that they're far from perfect -- but I hope that gives you a little insight into our thinking. The same goes for Twitch streaming. We're on Twitch every day with a very, very popular show, but we're simply not able to stream games in the afternoons or evenings with any regularity simply because there aren't enough hours in the day. We are stretched thin! But at least there's Colin & Greg Live each day that you can count on. =D
We've saved everything we've done on Twitch, except I think Greg's TWD marathon, to YouTube. We were going to split up the Mega Man stream into LPs, but I figure I'll just play through all of the games in their entirety again as solo LPs around when the Legacy Collection launches.
