Enjoy.

It's okay James, we still love you.

had to rush over here and say...

Graham is appreciate.

About being offended by Obama in "dishonorable discharge", we're pretty much used to it in the states considered the unbridled WHARGARBL going on down here.

Yeah, I've seen worse. Much worse.

About the spinning-around thing: Graham, you know how with a quick flick of your mouse you can instantaneously move the cursor from one side of the screen to the other? It works exactly the same way in video games, except it's the viewpoint flicks around. Most people (that is, everybody that I know of) can do it in most games without even adjusting the mouse sensitivity (it tends to be set up near the high end by default anyways). Just part of how PC gaming works.

Yes, I have played FPS games on PC before, thanks

No, this caught me off-guard because it looked like a "move".
It was a perfect 360°, stopping dead at the end of it. Most people would waver.

About the whole God of War / Dante's Inferno thing...I'm surprised that no one (gamers or those in the industry) have really yet called these games for the genre that they really are. 3D beat-em-up. Think back to games like Final Fight, Double Dragon, arcade TMNT. Those are all beat-em-ups, but they are side-scrolling beat-em-ups. Devil May Cry, God of War, and Dante's Inferno are at their core the same gameplay, but in 3D.

I don't mean this to over-simplify the games to say that one is a copy of the other...just saying that they are of the same 'genre' just as much as (to use the example from the podcast) Bioshock and Doom are of the same genre, FPS; or Street Fighter and Tekken for fighters.

That just takes practice and a steady hand. I can do it most of the time. It is a different skillset than console gaming though (which I am significantly worse at).

They are referred to as "brawlers" pretty commonly, actually.

Besides, right now only like 32% of Americans approve of the job he is doing, and only 17% approve of the job our Congress is doing. I think we would almost PREFER that Obama was an action hero, cuz it could bump up his street cred.

Question for Matt:

Do you think you'll ever do a future performance that will top "Son of a Bitch"?

Regarding the whip-pan abandoned sketch idea discussed in AskLRR...
Holy crap, you were considering my suggestion, A Whip in Time?!?! (http://loadingreadyrun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5916)

That would have been so awesome to see. Looking back now, I agree that today it definitely wouldn't work. It's breaks the cH continuity and doesn't really mesh with your current filming style. Still...
Nice to know you thought about it

I would still like to see this crazy camera sketch. You could change the sketch so that it takes place out of canon, couldn't you?

Very entertaining LRRcast. Kept me up later than I should have been up.

There are also special gaming mice you can buy with a button that does a 180° turn, but I think it is most probably practice, plus high sensitivity.

I'm sure not everyone will agree with me, but for my money, Graham's greatest performance is in Digital Love with the delivery of the line, "I've heard of those!" No matter how many times I watch it, that always slays me.

I wonder what Andy's greatest performance is....

All of them.

Fanstastic Job guys! I did fall out of my computer chair and hit my head the ground thanks the podcast... TOTALLY WORTH IT!
