red dwarf?

no idea what episode it's from, but it sounds like a conversation between Kryten and Lister.

You get a half internet for getting the source but it was between Lister and Holly. Season 1 I think.

"This one wasn't so great", I thought depressingly.

"I think there was potential for joke follow-ups, especially regarding the mechs walking all over the Christmas tree. And I found the Mode 7 part not very funny, although, to be fair, it didn't provide much material to begin with."

"And the delivery! 'April Fools, I guess'? Come on! This is not one of your better Unskippables." Upon this thought I remarked that 'Unskippable' needed an abbreviation.

"If anything did deserve a good riff," I continued with literary obliviousness to my chosen medium, " it was Final Fantasy XIII. Or maybe it was a case of rad nauseum?"

i think it was a case of 'too soon' Not everyone's played the game who wants too yet, so they might well do it in a couple months when everyone has.

i agree that this wasn't the funniest unskippable so far, but they didn't really have a lot to work with tbf. the whole point was that it was an April fools joke

Very funny, I actually enjoyed this more than I probably would have had you done FFXIII.

Also I never wondered about those mechs before, I guess suspension of disbelief works better than I realised.

I would like you guys to eventually do FFXIII, but this was quite funny in spite of that. Best part was the comments regarding the music at the beginning.

We will likely be actually doing FFXIII at some point.

I disagree that it's totally incongruous since the mechs are powered by magic.

Not that you know that quite yet.

"and I can do that, because it's mode 7" is worth the whole 5 minutes, easily.

Okay, I have to nitpick:

There are actually 8 modes, numbered 0-7. Based on one octal of binary.

We found that out afterwords.
We should have said "what happened to the first six modes?"

Isn't an octet 8 bits? 0-255?

0 to 7 would only be 3 bits.

Aww... this is not nearly as funny when you get back from a week of holiday on April 3rd and decide to catch up on missed LRR Videos. Still had me giggling though.

Is this some aspect of binary I'm not familiar with? Because as far as I know, one digit in binary represents one bit, so an octet would be eight bits.

0 = 000
1 = 001
2 = 010
3 = 011
4 = 100
5 = 101
6 = 110
7 = 111

Only three bits are required to store the integers 0 to 7. An Octet can store the values 0 to 255.

Ah, that makes sense now. I know binary, but I thought the modes referred to binary digits themselves.

I'd been avoiding this Unskippable because i'd resolved not to ruin any of FFXIII until i'd gotten it. And it took until now of my being lazy and not getting it, and my curiosity to win over.

This unskippable was an extra delightful slap in the face.

To be fair they did give you 20 years give or take.
