And it is finally done. All Let's plays from lparchive.org are now available on the Internet Archive (archive.org).

For those that didn't follow, 2 years ago i wanted to re-read a few LPs on my tablet, and realized it wouldn't be that hard to scrape lparchive.org and make an epub file out of the site. This lead to me creating https://github.com/Arwalk/lparchive2epub , a simple CLI tool that builds epubs from any LP on lparchive.org. I got it working relatively fast, had my fun, then kinda let it drift. At some point, boredom took over and i wanted to make it something that was working properly for all LP (some would break a bit, some have missing images...), so i tinkered a bit more until i reached the goal of all LPs built would succesfully pass all of epubcheck's verifications.

It is now the case, so i just built the whole lparchive.org repository, and put them on Internet Archive.

I hope this will help ensuring that this part of internet culture stays forever available.

Anyway, you can get Boatmurdered ( https://archive.org/details/lparchive-epub-dwarf-fortress-boatmurdered/ ), Headshoots ( https://archive.org/details/lparchive-epub-dwarf-fortress-headshoots ) or GuavaMoment's XCOM playthrough ( https://archive.org/details/lparchive-epub-x-com-ufo-defense ) on the go now.

That was a lot of fun, and more importantly, that may be the first time one of my project is ever "finished". I'm not sure i could improve or do more with it right now.
