I've been wanting to do a Lets Play series for Minecraft for years, but there are already hundreds of those, and I've been struggling to work out what I could possibly do to make my particular take on it interesting / entertaining.
After watching Peter play System Shock, I had the idea of using the Feed The Beast modpack (which adds electricity, machines, computers, etc) to build a crashed spaceship of which I am a survivor. Rather than starting with nothing and winging it, each episode would come with clear goals...
Find copper and rubber to replace broken cables and get auxiliary power back on line.
Get the resources to repair/replace the solar panels that were damaged in the crash.
Fix the redstone / Redpower circuitry so that you can open the cargo bay doors. Repair problems X, Y, and Z so that the "external defenses" (turrets from Portal - they're awesome) work.
Use Computercraft to get mining turtles to go find stuff. Use golems from Thaumcraft to be my little farmer minions.
Find uranium and get the main reactor online.
Repair / power / activate the teleporters, the forcefields, other cool stuff.
... and so on.
I'm not going to go full-on in character about it because that would probably come off stupid or goofy, but I think it would be fun to have little cut scene style moments that play out from time to time. Maybe the opening of the series is a little scene of the ship being attacked before the crash. Maybe the computer or the little robot / golem minions talk to me from time to time. Maybe I run into a tribe of natives, or maybe I'm not the only survivor and there are a few other people dotted about.
It's still very much an idea in the concept stages at the moment, but yeah: since y'all have such a mixed bag of accents, I was wondering if any of you might be up for lending your vocals to people in this.
