Looking Back into The Past (A look at how Chuggaaconroy started)

If you are a gaming fan who browses the internet (particually Youtube) chances are that you have come across a game LPer (Game Let's Play) called Chuggaaconroy. Chuggaaconroy has been on Youtube since July 2006 and has completed 17 Let's Plays to date (not including his most recent LP of Super Paper Mario for the Wii.) In this post I delve into his first Let's Play he ever did and find out more about him.

Chuggaaconroy (or Emile) began his "Let's Play" jorney way back in 2006 where he started his first Let's Play ever of a game called Earthbound for the SNES and GBA. During August 2010 Chugga gained a Youtube partnership and creating Let's Plays of games has become almost like a full time job. He has also has joined up with The Game Station and has joined up with two other popular Let's Players; NintendoCaprisun and ProtonJonSA forming a group called The Runaway Guys. As a group they produce collabrative Let's Plays of (mainly) multiplayer games.

Earthbound was the game that Chuggaaconroy made a Let's Play of. For a first attempt at an LP Chugga did a great job and you will enjoy watching though his first Let's Play.
The full play list of the LP can be found here:

The epic "NO" is Chuggaaconroys trade mark and has come up in many LP's. Many of these can be found in his LP of (both) Pikmin games. Usually during moments were his plan doesn't go as exspected.
Over the years Chuggaa has made his LP's better and better and stives to provide not only entertainment but also indepth information on each game he plays.
His most popular LP is of Super Mario Sunshine with each episode having over 1 millions views each. While this is his most viewed LP he has admited that this particular LP is his least favorate due to personal promblems he encountered while playing it and he admited that he forced a lot of fake enthusiasm during it.
On the other hand one his favorate LP's is of a game called Okami (also his first non-Nintendo exclusive game). Okami is a game based heaverly off of Japan's history. Before making this particular LP he studied the history of Japan. During the LP he delivers plenty of information and explains many of the legends and myths behind the games design.

I recogmend watching some of Chugga's LPs as they are informative and fun at the same time. He also mentions mistakes, easter eggs and glithchs in games.
