LRRcast for Christmas

[James]

So this was not only recorded a while ago but it was also uploaded a while ago and I just completely forgot about it. Anyways, enjoy and hopefully we'll be back to our regular podcast a week schedule this coming week now that we have settled into the new year.

[Fawlkes]

This went up late, almost didn't see it, but I open Itunes and it starts downloading it, almost had to wait til tomorrow D:
I'll get back to once I listen to it

[the amativeness]

Kathleen: Joseph Bazalgette?

Also:



...twas my first avatar here

[Geoff_B]

Every time I see that I automatically think "Talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking"

[the_lone_bard]

"Well LeeLee wasn't in one."

Except this went up the day after she actually was.
Timing!

[Duckay]

James's answer to my question was both thoughtful and thought-provoking. Hmm.

[Gap Filler]

I knew I misremembered Bill's first name. And there's no record of it so I can't go back and check. Damn.

Googling Nate Dorr produced this from a blog which doesn't appear to be his. Its cool enough to warrant further investigation for me at least.

[Fawlkes]

It wasn't the answer I was expecting, but I knew about a calorie deficit,what I guess I was expecting was Kathleen to be like "Exercise and change your diet, NOW HERES MY DIET -Soy avalanche-".
And for the record, i'm down 15 pounds since I asked that question anyway xP 25 overall from 2011. and i'm totally a thunder hammer person

It's not a soy avalanche anyway, it's just mostly no bread or pasta. Mostly.

[General Michi]

I still choose to believe that Steve is some guy who consistently mildly inconveniences you in your dreams. Always good to know the truth though. Cheers

[Preacher]

I am all for a subject on a series of unfortunate facepalms and a country we're people resign in disgrace. Australia only gets old politicans who wear bright red speedos, or as we call them, budgie smugglers.

Also it was either this, American politics, which I did last year, or Austrlaian see the aforementioned budgie smugglers

[tak197]

As for the video game replacement question, I came up with a good one.

Replace Professor Layton with Solid Snake

Snake: "Tell me where the Golden Apple is."
Townsfolk: "First you have to solve this math homework."
Snake: "No. *snaps neck*"

[Vigafre]

I dunno, tak. Switching Layton with Snake might not change much.

[Lord Chrusher]

I wish Australia was as close in time and cost to Canada as Vancouver is to Victoria. It would be nice to go home for the weekend and have it cost less than $100.

I think Master Chief for Samus would be an interesting switch, at least in the Prime universe. The parts picking on the local fauna might be a problem ammo wise, but I think he could tear the pirates up.

[the_lone_bard]

Replace Master Chief, or any random dude from the CoD games, with Gordon Freeman.

Silent crowbars everywhere.

She. Samus is a girl. It's been that way for, like, twenty years.

[Master Gunner]

Master Chief, however, is a guy.

[chif-ii]

Master Chief, however, is a guy.

Well, yeah, but...oh. Misread the question.

[plummeting_sloth]

FOOOOLLLLLEEEED YOOOOUUUU!

[chif-ii]

FOOOOLLLLLEEEED YOOOOUUUU!

I think what you meant to say was

[Metcarfre]

Replace Master Chief, or any random dude from the CoD games, with Gordon Freeman.

Silent crowbars everywhere.

Which changes... Exactly nothing, in terms of characterization.

[Vigafre]

Well, Master Chief does talk, whether that's a good thing or not. Gives a bit of character.

[JackSlack]

Also, best lesson from this LRR cast? You can turn off viewing sig files. I never knew!

[Duckay]

I thought that was "be as creepy as you like, Paul will never know".
