A "Let's Play", also known as LP for short, is simply someone playing a video game while providing commentary. This commentary can be about the game, or it can be vlogging, or even venting.
There are many LPers on YouTube, some with a few thousand subscribers, or even tens of thousands.
Some well-known LPers are NintendoCapriSun, 900RedYoshi, Chuggaaconroy, NateNaterson, and ProtonJonSA.
[Please note before visiting their channels that most, if not all, use strong language in their videos.]

This brings me to Retsupuraes. "What's a retsupurae?" you may ask. Well, a retsupurae is like an LP, except instead of playing video games and providing commentary, they take "bad" LPs and mock them.
The most well-known retsupurae-er is simply known as retsupurae.
Any LPer who has been retsupurae'd has lost all respect, but some still remain a large member of the LPing community.


I hope you enjoyed my short-ish intro to LPing, and if you want, you can check out my LPs at wiigcnds.
