History LetsPlay / LetsRambleWithRae

* JustForPun: Taylor in their ''Legacy of Kain: Defiance'' ramble while discussing Kain's attack moves.
-->'''Rae:''' Oh my goodness. So that was the mighty power of the balance emblem. It made some guys fall down!\\
'''Taylor:''' Rae, Rae... it made them ''lose their balance''.

Since the series began in [[TheNewTens May of 2013]], Rae and her two friends, Taylor and Peyton ([[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys all three of whom are simians]]), have tackled (in order of first episode):

* [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Everything's Better with Primates]]: Most videos are either portrayed as Rae and her Primate friends playing the games, or as a narrative set in a world of primates instead of humans. {{Averted|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4'', though, as Queen Rae Dodson & Co. and the [[MegaCorp Oligopolmart]] are always in Battlemechs and their species is never brought up in conversation.

Towards the end of the ''Defiance'' series (which concluded after ''Skyrim''), the series was put on [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRX4ezSYTMQrrfzDoWcuscw its own Youtube channel]]. Said channel also includes two other series: "Greg in your Ear" (featuring Greg as himself while playing ''M.A.S.S. Builder''), and "Slick Sam Sells You".

* [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Everything's Better with Primates]]
** {{Averted|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4'', as Queen Rae Dodson & Co. and the [[MegaCorp Oligopolmart]] go to war and devastate various landscapes.

-->'''Kain:''' Curses! Kain missed his cue!

** {{Averted|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4'', as Queen Rae Dodson & Co. and their [[MegaCorp Oligopolmart]] go to war and devastate various landscapes.

* ''VideoGame/CitiesSkylines''

** {{Averted|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4'', as Queen Rae Dodson & Co. and their [[MegaCorp Oligopolmart]] * FreudianTrio: Taylor (Superego), Rae (Ego), Peyton (Id).

Since the series began in [[TheNewTens May of 2013]], Rae and her two friends, Taylor and Peyton ([[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys all three of whom are simians]]), have tackled (in order of appearance; '''current playthroughs in bold'''):

* ''VideoGame/LongLiveTheQueen''

* '' '''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''' '' -- The first to feature someone other than Rae in a solo playthrough, with Peyton playing the role of a Khajiit named Kaybe.

* DirtyCoward: Peyton accuses Rae of being this in part four of the ''VideoGame/LongLiveTheQueen'' ramble, citing the latter's ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' (at that point) 30-episode playthrough as evidence.

* LetsPlay

** {{Averted|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4'', as Queen Rae Dodson & Co. and their [[MegaCorp Oligopolmart]] antagonists are all implied to be human.
* [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Everything's Better with Queens]]: Hoffman appears to like the idea of Rae being a queen of something, whether it's [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Mojave]], [[VideoGame/LongLiveTheQueen a mystical empire]], or [[VideoGame/MechWarrior a planet recently bought by a MegaCorp in a hostile takeover]].
* FreudianTrio: Taylor (Superego), Rae (Ego), Peyton (Id).

* '' '''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain: Defiance''' ''

Unlike other [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] that run between 30 minutes to an hour, if not longer, each ''Let's Ramble'' episode lasts around 15 minutes or less. ''Let's Ramble'' also uploads one new episode for each current playthrough about once a week barring scheduling conflicts. The brevity and frequency of new episodes is likely due to how busy Hoffman & Co. are with other projects and (at least for Hoffman until recently) day jobs.

* '' '''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''' '' -- The first to feature someone other than Rae in a solo playthrough, with Peyton playing the role of a dragon boxer named Kaybe.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Taylor ([[http://fimflamfilosophy.tumblr.com/post/120737733560/got-some-more-puppet-work-done-raes-friends-are in Hoffman's rendition of her]],) Rae, and Peyton respectively.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Peyton, who carries over her [[ComedicSociopathy outlandish, sociopathic behavior]] -- [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent and accent]] -- from ''MAS'''s Pinkie Pie. [[RunningGag Yes.]]

** {{Subverted|Trope}} in both ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' and ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 4'', as Queen Latifah in the former, and Queen Rae Dodson & Co. and their [[MegaCorp Oligopolmart]] antagonists in the latter, are implied to be human.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Wherever Peyton and/or her relatives in Monkey World came from, they speak English in a hybrid Russian/Latin American accent. [[RunningGag Yes.]]

->'''Taylor:''' [[Main/StraightMan Hello! My name is Taylor]].
->'''Rae:''' [[Main/LovableCoward And I am Rae]]!
->'''Peyton:''' [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} And I am Player One]], lord of [[VideoGame/LegacyOfKain Kain's]] every passing action! [[Main/VerbalTic Yes]].
->'''Taylor:''' And that's Peyton, [[Main/ComedicSociopathy expressing her tyranny]] over the controller.

Sometime between creating the ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries'' and dealing with [[Main/YouTube Content ID]], master chief Greg Hoffman (a.k.a., [[https://www.youtube.com/user/FiMFlamFilosophy FiMFlamFilosophy]]) took the voice of his version of [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRainbowDash Rainbow Dash]], and crowned her [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Queen of the Mojave Desert]]. This act planted the seed that would grow into the ''Let's Ramble With Rae'' series.

Unlike other Main/LetsPlays that run between 30 minutes to an hour, if not longer, each ''Let's Ramble'' episode lasts around 15 minutes or less. ''Let's Ramble'' also uploads one new episode for each current playthrough about once a week barring scheduling conflicts. The brevity and frequency of new episodes is likely due to how busy Hoffman & Co. are with other projects and (at least for Hoffman until recently) day jobs.

Since the series began in [[Main/TheNewTens May of 2013]], Rae and her two friends, Taylor and Peyton ([[Main/EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys all three of whom are simians]]), have tackled (in order of appearance; '''current playthroughs in bold'''):

* Main/CatchPhrase: Whether by herself or with Peyton and Taylor, Rae will usually end an episode with a variant of the following:

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Peyton, who carries over her [[Main/ComedicSociopathy outlandish, sociopathic behavior]] -- [[Main/WhatTheHellIsThatAccent and accent]] -- from ''MAS'''s Pinkie Pie. [[Main/RunningGag Yes]].
* Main/DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Rae does this in her ''Long Live The Queen'' Let's Play when [[spoiler:Elodie sees her father with Sirin.]]
