CarrionCrow: Yeah....take any humor, slap a whole lot of stammering onto it, some nervous awkward pauses, the occasional cough, a fair bit of technical trouble from my crap-level internet....
It'll be fantastic. -laughs-
penumbren: Hehehe. That's why you do at least a few videos that
don't get uploaded, for practice. Still, I'm discovering a new love for these types of videos, and humor is a big draw, for me. If they don't make me laugh, they bore me, and I don't watch them. The only time I'm really willing to spend hours watching someone play a game regardless of the voice/humor/whatever is when I'm doing it in real life and have gotten drawn into the game itself.
Humor is also a key factor for me. I've watched a few Let's Plays that I wouldn't have otherwise, and given up on a long-running one because it dragged so hard I just couldn't stand to watch it anymore.
My tendency is to use Let Play's as a substitute for games I flatout know I'd have no desire to play through to the end.
Dark Corners of the Earth, for example. I played it, got nailed by gamebreaker bugs and couldn't finish it, and pretty much hated it most of the time I played it in the first place. Ended up watching a Let's Play of it until the people doing it got stopped cold by gamebreaker bugs and went on to something else.
As for me, I already know I'm going to end up making a fool of myself. It's just a matter of how amusing an audience finds it.
