With an intro scene shot at LRRCON, this answers every creative person's least favourite FAQ: "Where do you get your ideas?"

The guy in the beginning is Bradley Rains. He's the guy that does most of the music for LRR.

Email bad...

Also did you green screen Cameron and Alex into the driveway of the moonbase for the astral projection?

I love that the video Bradley's in is one that doesn't feature his music... :D

Also, James doing "drugs" and then being like "I got nothin'..." and then taking more was hilarious!

I loved the frame that you froze on for "The Flinstone" Graham!

Finally... Alex gets meta and goes "HA! Idiot!" to his own body... :D

Edit: At the end, I'm pretty sure Graham's using the Desert Bus camera. Is Alex using the actual Loading Time camera?

Is it my imagination, or is the font wrong? It's supposed to be Futura Medium, I think, and this one looks wider.

Heh, dickbutt.

I like to imagine that for "Eavesdropping", Cam and Graham are inadvertently just pick up each other's signals or white noise. Also, is that QR randomiser a thing? Would that actually work?

While QR codes can easily be randomly generated, it is highly unlikely you would pick one up in TV static. Beyond the static changing faster than a camera QR Reader could pick it up, QR codes require a very specific format (to get position, rotation, size, and version information) and are surrounded by whitespace.

Has LRRCON 2 been announced or are you just making a prediction?

No word so far on another one.

heh Paul's reading The Ultimate Joke Encyclopaedia. I have that right *reaches to shelves* here. Now to predict future videos!

Let's see... "What is a skeleton? Someone who went on a diet and forgot to say 'when'." Ah ha! They're going to do a video of bad dieting advice.

Well, they mentioned on Twitter the other day that they were looking for a skeleton. So you might be right on track.

My favourite thing was probably the return of Torg. Good old brute force is the solution to everything. :D

I liked Paul, Alex, and Beej's reactions to Graham's idea during the brainstorming session. You rarely see Paul THAT angry, and I'd imagine it takes a LOT to get Beej that upset. :-)

I switched to Gotham in Ways to Waste the Kickstarter Money JUST TO FUCK WITH YOU.

Futura is still just as "correct" as far as I'm concerned, especially since Gotham costs money.

You didn't leave a bottle floating out there, did you?
I sure enjoy watching LRR!

I wouldn't want to meet them though. I'm very allergic to cats and fun.

Missed joke opportunity: Having two more cards drawn after the divination freeze frame.

Please say that when a Loading Time comes out for this, you're going to include Bradley's hilarious first take. :-)

Oh, that's irony for ya! Wasting money on a font...

That was the joke. He drew the two cards because he cast divination.
