GWJ wisdom needed please: Gameplay recordings.
Watching gameplay movies has always been one of my favorite game-related passtime activity.
I frequently checkout the Speed Demo Archive for gameplay videos of PC games that I played or Console games that I know I will never get to play.
However, because these are speed runs, often the videos won't be able to convey the storyline of the game.
I have search long and hard, and I have only gotten few gameplay videos that one could watch and enjoy the storyline of the game (latest Legacy of Kain, MGS series including the almost 10 hour gameplay video of MGS4, Gothic I, to name a few.)
So, do any of you know of some hidden places that I can find more of the full game run videos? Or do any of you have such recordings that you don't mind sharing

Yeah, but if you set off the bomb in Megaton you are rewarded with a parking lot!
Something Awful does a ton of these. You can find a lot of them here or go to The SomethingAwful Forums and look up the Let's Play subforum. Some of them are really, really good and funny. Some of them are just screenshots, but there's a lot of video ones as well.

Some good video stuff here (although mostly -but not always- it is done with commentary...text or voice...over the gameplay that can vary in quality..most is good though.).

Oh wow! Thanks guys! I always thought SA forums are for registered and paying members only. I ask, because it seems that some of the video d/l links are either down or not accessible, so I am wondering if it is because I am not a SA member.
thanks

No, I don't think so. SA themselves doesn't host any of those videos, as far as I know. The original hosts must have dropped them at some point. Look for ones that use Google Video or Viddler or something that keeps submissions forever.

I should go watch a Blaster Master play-through. I was never able to get past a certain point and got lost more times than I can remember. I'm sure it'd be stupid easy if I watched someone do it though...

Just do a search on Youtube/Google VIdeo/Viddler/Vimeo/etc for "Let's Play" and then the name of the game. You'll usually strike gold with the SA games that get run in there. People are running these all the time for many games, and I'm sure you'll see a few names show up a lot more than most as these people are known for their excellent videos.
Yes, you need to pay to read the threads for more than 10 minutes, but as far as I know most of the videos are hosted off-site. Then again, then are a ton of ScreenShot Let's Play threads on there that make it worth the 10 bucks alone. I know that's why I finally got my account. IM me if you do sign up and I'll lead you to where the good stuff is.
