[Metcarfre]

What's your favourite vid since the move to the Escapist? How do you think the move has affected the videos?

Do you agree that Tim's fiance's nickname should be 'Yoko'?

ETA on Starburst shirts, commodoreHUSTLE DVDs etc.? I'm waiting patiently!

[iamafish]

so what would you guys do if your only weapon against zombies was a rainbow trout?

[Chuckles]

If someone were to wrong Graham, would it be appropriate to apologize with "Forgive me G-Star, for I have sinned..."?

[tak197]

Now that you have moved to The Escapist, and are settled in with their community, are there any videos that you WOULD NOT repost because you don't think their community would enjoy it?

Have you guys been following the musical theater scene recently, and if so, what musicals would you like to go see?

Along the same lines as the previous question, if LRR was to create a stage musical, what roles would you each play in the production side (directing, scoring, scripting, set design, etc.; NOT ACTING)?

[wartjr2373]

I have three questions about old content that was never released.

In the LRRcast for "Life is Like a Movie," you said that we needn't fear being unable to get to LoadingReadyLive because you'd be recording it and releasing it on DVD. What happened there, exactly?

Why did Graham stop making the Idiot Room? (or, Why did Graham never start making the Idiot Cube?) I know that you don't work there anymore, but last we heard, you were just changing offices. What happened?

Whatever happened to the short video of Matt, James, and Morgan on top of the mantle from the Rapidfire Episode 4 podcast? You said you'd post it in the podcast thread but you didn't.

No, I'm not just reposting questions I already asked in the AskLRR thread.

[aeric90]

Is there one video or scene that sticks out where you wanted to do something more complicated and it just wasn't technically feasable?

Now that you're all playing M:TG, what are you favorite card colours or the colours you're playing?

I can't find any reference to it, and if someone knows feel free to fill it in here, but I haven't found an answer anywhere on the forums or the podcasts. Why is the shorter shelf in the living room of Matt and Graham's old appartment covered with a blanket in most shots?

[Lyinginbedmon]

What do you think would be the consequences of giving Sherlock Holmes (Or any incarnation thereof) a copy of The Sims 3 and the means with which to play it?

Additionally, what is the wierdest/funniest/oddest/etc. thing you've ever done with any version of The Sims? I once killed an entire family and blocked off the house to have a house full of ghosts occasionally seen swimming in the surrounding moat.

[Yaxley]

Will we ever see a follow-up to the Tube Men Enter video/contest?

[King Kool]

Iron Stomach?

[ThrashJazzAssassin]

Here are a couple of the more relevant questions that I asked in the huge AskLRR thread:
___

Back in the day you guys would intersperse your full sketches with On Location videos and miscellaneous extra stuff like November 13, 2003. Although to some extent this was just done to ease the pressure on the sketch writers, some of these videos still make really interesting viewing - the Uwe Boll interview, for instance. Now your audience has grown and the bsns is becoming ever more srs, particularly since the move to The Escapist, do you feel that every Monday update has to be a sketch? If so, are there video ideas that you might have shot in the past that now get automatically rejected, or do you manage to shoot them and release them as bonus content?
___

Do you have any cunning tricks gleaned from your years of experience - and particularly from before you had a fancy professional lighting setup - that might help a fledgling sketch comedy troupe with their lighting?

[Gap Filler]

Video comments:
(Trivial) That last bit with Tim remains intensely (terrifyingly) paranoia inducing on repeat viewing.
(The Basement) I hope that's not the last of the expanded crapshots. There's definitely a couple of others with at least the hint of substance.
(War for Cybertron) I do wonder what Matt made of that cutscene and how an Unskippable guest appearance from him would have gone.

Other questions:
To the smokers, what's your poison?
People are doing this anyway but, on the assumption that nothing will come of any attempt at tackling the old AskLRR thread (cancerous might be a good way of describing it), do you have anything against us digging up questions from it and asking them again?

[Furlong]

Dear Loading Ready Run,

Being the famous internet celebrities that you are, I imagine that you have autographed many things in your time at conventions and such. I wanted to ask you, what would you most like to sign? What object would you most like to see your signature appear on for all time?

Thanks for the great videos

Furlong

[James]

Thanks for all your questions!
Podcast being recorded shortly.
