The video was great. It just cracks me up that guys would sit outside a mall for games that haven't been released yet. I'm anxiously awaiting Diablo 3 so I can relate. I'm in a hurry or I would expound on favorite scenes further. So, I submitted "Epic Nunchuk Fail" to break.com, and they m...

I've got some laser disks. They are giant CD like objects that made a failed run at replacing VHS tapes during the 80's. If I send you some will you microwave them? YES. Yes we will. I never thought of microwaving a LaserDisc. That's a brilliant idea. The question I have is whether you can find a m...

If nothing else, the financials aren't there. They're already talking about going to a 5-day delivery week to save money. No way they'd add a day of delivery

Well I finally got a chance to take a shot. Two pics - one's a close up to see some details, and one is in my labyrinth of awesome. I had thought about a tattoo, but nothing on that scale. Wow. That's really impressive. Did you manage to do that in a mirror by yourself or did you enlist some help? ...

I'm in the same boat as tak... except my airfare alone would cost 31.165 times the PAX ticket, and there's hotel on top of that :( I feel a little silly complaining about how much it would cost us to get to PAX having forgotten the large number of non-Americans there are on this board (of the USA'e...

How did we have this forum for five years and NOBODY NAMED JOSHUA SIGNED UP BEFORE, HONESTLY. WHAT. I found that interesting too, finally got lucky. I now have an irrational need to see if "david" is taken...but I won't, because I'm good little forumite. I am curious, though. On topic - I...

It's just the money for me. My girlfriend would even be willing to come out with me and brave the gamer crowds, but the whole trip would run over $1k for two people including plane, hotel, food and swag. Maybe next year.

Depends on how many entries we get, but we will probably let it go for two podcasts. That would put the deadline at February 21, 2009 at 12:00pm PST The winners will be announced in the Feb 21 podcast That's what Paul said on the first page, but this last week's podcast said they may extend a week ...

But now I can not hit things and look even more like Captain Jack. I'm so glad I'm not the only one that sees that. I was going to comment in a video thread once about it, but I think I talked myself out of it. Driving and talking on the phone isn't bad because you have to have one hand holding the...

I thought there would be a lot of Jonathan Coulton fans on these boards so I've started a thread in case anyone's planning to go to his concert and wants a mini LRR meet-up. I'm going to be in Madison for his Thurs, Feb 26 show. Evil Jim, you gonna be there? From his website: SOLD OUT Friday Februar...

hear, hear!

The only way to kill a pirate, send in the ninja: http://fc48.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/050/5/e/Runners_competition_2_by_Judan.jpg Woo! Ninja! Awesome! This does bring up a disturbing point, however. How can there be both Ninja and pirates in the Runners? The LRR Crew is going to have a hard time ...

I concur with the above comments. Very cool, Cake. Even if it was 'only' an $80 board, the shipping cost alone is more than more would/could give. Props.

I was thinking CtMolloy's was the pinnacle and there was only one thing that could beat him...and I thought I had the perfect idea. Must find my camera. I am intrigued. I wish you luck on your camera-finding quest. While I'll agree that CtMolloy's outfit is great, my vote is with Evil Jim right now...

If a photo is good, a video must be better, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWBUYttW59M Special thanks to my girlfriend that not only tolerates, but encourages such behavior and also everyone that helped. Also, thanks to Graham for having faith that I wouldn't mangle their video concept. I hop...

I don't know about a green ad, but when I first watched ep5 of cHustle, I had to close an ad every minute. After the fifth time, I just stopped watching the stream and downloaded the video.

That's a much higher initiation fee than I'm willing to expend. I prefer to spend an inordinate amount time rather than money. Of course, we all learned that time is money so I'm not sure how they'll all compare.

Graham wrote:Um, I'll happily release a real one.
Just give me a bit.

Thanks Graham.

By the way, do you ever find time to sleep?

Speaking of the Runners, I took a very brief glance through the cHustle thread and the Wiki and didn't find a 'clean' Runners graphic. The one on the website has "Coming Soon" on it. While it'd be nice to have the full graphic as reference for the contest, it'd be great as a desktop wallpa...

I loved the sign and Graham tipping the scalding hot tea. I think Jer could've done a bit more with the sour candy unless that actually was sour candy in which case he did a remarkably good job. I think Jer's vagrant voice at the very end was quite convincing. Was the kick in the shin to give him a ...

I like some of Alja's suggestions, in particular the Deep Fat Fried Chocolate Covered Jelly Doughnuts. It need not be doughnuts, but Deep Fat Fried anything is definitely manly. One other common thread in the Man Cooking series is garlic. LOTS of garlic. You'll need some foodstuff that can allow an ...

Great vid, as always.

I know all of the characters are parodies of themselves, but does Paul have a reputation for being a tinkerer in real life? I know he'd never NESBox an XBox 360, but does he install Linux on his computers or relentlessly try to convert others to Linux?

If LRR really wanted to stay independent they would still be hosting there own videos and spending a huge sum on bandwidth.

True.

Oh, I doubt they're moving everything there, too. I just meant that there's gotta be some self-satisfaction staying entirely independent. YouTube steals a small part of your soul with every video uploaded ...

I can understand the frustration of moving to YouTube, though. There's a lot more control in leaving videos up on loadingreadyrun.com and certainly more feeling of accomplishment coming from Views here rather than YouTube. There are probably a zillion other reasons to be disappointed with YouTube, b...
