Sweet, I shall listen to it after my tea, and edit this post with my thoughts
[Edit]: I already like it for Paul saying 'sound of smoke'. Awesome.
Also, where are you guys on TVTropes? It's not like I've searched or anyithng, but what trope do you fall into?
I'd like to point out that force lightning does cause permanant damage, because that's what scarred Palapatine so badly.
Is it bad that I don't know what part used the dolly?
City of Heroes' level design is pretty sweet. You get xp as even if you're playing a user made module, and the more you play of them the more stuff you can put into yours. I've not actually had much experience with it myself because I've been to busy recently to get on as much as I'd like, but the content I'm creatin is gong to be deliberatley silly, so if anybody does go on, look out for anyhing created by Vanilla Jester, my global name on there, and the name content gets posted under.
Also, a strict policy of non-farm orientated content has already been implamented, compared to LittleBigPlanet. You get in huge poop if you make one specificaly for grinding and acheivements.
Regarding the 'putting yourself on the internet is putting yourself on the internet' discussion; I've wondered about requesting the main as friends on FaceBook but stopped myself because we've not actually met or anything. I was just wondering if it'd be cool to add you guys. My main reason for doing so, as I don't check my FB much either, is just to be able to say that I have, if you get what I mean. I just think it'd be cool to have the LRR crew among my FB freinds.
Just curious, but what did Ashton Kutcher do to Twitter? You all sounded so vehment, but I don't have an account or anything..
Is Gorgeous not your most visualy arresting video?
Regarding the possiblility of a new live skit, and bearing in mind that this has already been asked (although I can't remember what the outcome of the last time it was asked was) is it possible to see anything from the last Loading Ready Live?
Sorry if this just seems like I've gone through the podcast and made notes, but that's pretty much what I've done

So, technically the song was co-written between the two members of the buggles (Geoff Downs on keyboards, left, and Trevor Horn on vocals, right):
And this fellow, Bruce Woolley (writer, producer) who was never actually a band member, but has 50% ownership:
And then we have Matt:
I can almost seem him as Trevor Horn.... almost

For the airsoft gun and "going to fast", a firearm in Canada is actually defined by propelling a projectile at above a certain velocity. So if it actually did fire at above that velocity, it would be classified as an actual firearm instead of an airsoft gun, and thus subject to all the restrictions therein.
Yes, it's stupid and I hate it to, but that's what I read a couple years ago.
As to social networking, I think I have all the LRR people on Twitter, and a great deal of the forum members. When it comes to Facebook, I think I have Morgan and Roscoe due to Desert Bus, and Kathleen for......I really don't know why. But I never use Facebook anyways.

Pretty likely that they, and their stuff would get searched.

Re: the Twitter conversation. I've wondered similar things about Facebook. I remember in particular during Desert Bus 2 that Ash mentioned her Facebook account and someone said, "You just gained 1,000 new friends." Which struck me because I had considered adding the LRR crew, and then stopped myself because I thought, "We're not really friends. We don't even know each other. I just like the videos they make." So I didn't attempt to add anyone, except for Rosco P. Jangles IV. Oh, and Morgan, because of the Dinglebert Fluff-Champion III thing.
But I do sometimes wonder where the line is. Personally, I've decided to draw it at interacting with you on the forums, and on LRR related Twitter accounts. Not so much on Facebook just because I realize you are real people who have real friends outside of the LRR fanbase. Then again, maybe some people want as many Facebook friends as possible. I don't know. So it's nice to hear where people stand on the issue.

I used to double check with everyone to see if LRR was the reason they were adding me, but that now takes too much time. So, I've taken to adding pretty much everyone now. It's cool.
I might do that limited profile thing though. No offense to anyone!

1 - Ashton Kutcher (twitter.com/aplusk) was racing CNN Breaking News (twitter.com/cnnbrk) to be the first to a million Twitter followers a few nights ago. He streamed from his house in the hours preceding, and CNN was campaigning on TV. It was kinda fun to watch, actually, though I wouldn't have bothered except: EA put up a prize for Kutcher's millionth follower, and it seemed like decent odds. I don't know how he found out, but I guess Graham was within 10? Anyway, he went on Oprah the next morning, so that plus CNN's campaign means Twitter took a big step toward being 'mainstream', I guess.
2 - I know Jer wants it for Mac, but if anyone wants to buy Fallout or Fallout 2 for Windows, you can get them for six dollars each at gog.com (Good Old Games), DRM-free and compatible with XP and Vista.
3 - Like you guys said, you have funny Twitter conversations with one another, and that goes for Tally, too. I had the same misgivings as the asker of the question, but ignored them on the same grounds that James mentioned. Also, Matt was incorrect: you can proactively protect your updates through the settings menu. Then nobody can follow you unless you approve them.

This almost makes me want to be active on twitter..... almost.
I just have a hard time justifying it, since it's basically just facebook's status updates. I can't really take advantage of its mobile capabilities either.
But on the other hand, it would be a good way to keep tabs on LRR updates, and a couple of other sites that use twitter for things like that.

I was actually thinking along the same lines as Yaxley. But, if you don't mind me adding you to Facebook, I think I might. And, I won't take offense to a limited profile.
As for that Fallout 3 vid . . . I'm gonna have to go track that down. Plus, thanks go to Morgan for that tidbit of info on Operation Anchorage. I may actually download it now.

On the Facebook thing:
At first I didn't join even the Facebook group because it would reveal my True Name (I used to use that term ironically, but after that calamitous topic from DigitalDolphin, it certainly doesn't seem as funny). But since I revealed it six months ago during Desert Bus 2 (and it's been online since about 2003, you just need to know where to look), I guess I should just do it.
However, I never ONCE thought I would ever add any of the crew as friends on Facebook. Facebook is for people I know personally (and sometimes, for people who claim to know me in high school and I have no recollection of whatsoever). If I was more into Myspace, I might be tempted to join something like that, but that's because Myspace seems more casual somehow.

That's pretty much my thinking on the whole thing - I wait until I have met a person, and have had a conversation with them and get along with them, until I consider adding them to my facebook.
Myspace does seem more casual, but myspace also lets you use usernames - they don't ask for your full (actual/real/legal/whatever) name, so you can be ~*~cAzyGuRRL4E~*~ if you feel like it, which lends it a much more casual feel than facebook.
Now that Ashton Kutcher has ruined twitter, I wonder what the next big social networking thing will be.

Heh, before anyone thinks I'm one of those Facebook friend-whores, let me set the record straight. Absolutely everyone on my friends list is someone I know and converse with in real life. Maybe not always on a regular basis, but I personally know every single one of them. I do not make a habit of sending friend requests to people I don't know.
Were Graham to accept a friend request from me, he'd be the very first person I've never met on my friends list.

i've always found adding random people that have provided me with entertainment of some form through the media (no matter how unmainstream) on facebook seem seems a little fanboyish is you know what i mean. i know it would annoy the hell out of me if some people i didn't know tried to add me as a friend of Facebook, so i dont do it other people. Understandable if the account is ostensibly providing updates to people i would be ok with that, but my own personal account, that would just weird me out

This reminds me, there are some random people from my school that I should probably remove from my Facebook, since I either have no idea who they are, or don't like them.
Certainly gives me more sympathy for the crew.

I am in exactly the same situation at the moment: I'm planning to have a major clean out of my facebook account as soon as I leave school (July), and get rid of anyone I don't really know or don't like: there's no point in having them on there at all. I also get very annoyed by people who add me, who I don't know, presumably only because I appeared in the 'people you may know' feature (again, they'll all be going as well)
On the flip side however, I did once talk to one of these people who I accepted as a friend, despite not knowing who they were specifically, and we're now good friends: swings and roundabouts really...
@the podcast (ie, getting on topic): I'll listen this evening, as I've still got some revision to be getting on with.
Two general podcast question however: have you stopped doing the LRRCast trivia questions (I don't think I've heard them mentioned in any recent podcasts), and if you have, is there anyway to get a custom title now at all?
Also, how far behind are you, pagewise in the AskLRR thread?
Thanks
