Working on the Video voting form now.

Here's the form: Rate any videos you want from -5 to -1 (for the bottom-tier videos), and 1 to 5 (to decide on the top videos).
LRR Video Voting Form

I'll parse the results later to come up with the top-10 and bottom-10 lists for each season.

Edit: For now, here are the overall results, which should automatically update as responses come in. I'll break it down to individual seasons later.

I have admit I am somewhat confused by the form. Are we supposed to rate each video? Just tag the videos we love and hate? Please explain the methodology. I also find having one form for every video is a bit unwieldy. Maybe have a separate form for each season?

I wasn't exactly thinking of methodology, more just throwing up a list of all the videos and a way to rate them.

Unfortunately Google forms doesn't allow you to limit responses to only one of each column, which I guess is how I originally thought of it. So right now it's just tag the videos you love and hate, and if you love two equally as much, you can tag them the same.

I can try recreating it with each season on a separate page tomorrow, it won't seem to let me move a question to a different page after the fact.

I don't know how many times Paul has been asked what the worst movie he's seen is, but it's always Battlefield Earth. I'm gonna have to get him that on Blu-ray.

In all seriousness, I've actually wanted to do a video covering my Top 10 list of LRR videos. Would the crew be interested in this? Could I get permission to use clips from episodes to make the video more dynamic, or would you prefer I not?

Corrector's Commentary mentioned on LRRcast. Hype hype hype.

I think it'd be funny to see a goat simulatoresque physics applied to some normally dignified mythical creature. Seeing a dragon go up a ladder and just totally flip out would be great.

Dwarf Fortress is totally worth getting into.

The complaints about wasting water for the ALS ice water videos are because some of the group vids are using massive amounts (ie 100s of gallons per persons) of water, in areas of California that are in the middle of the worse drought in the history of keeping records.

To be fair about the drought though, southern California is a desert, when people starting moving there they made it bloom by damming every river and tapping every well they could drill.

This is what most of Southern California is "supposed" to look like

This is what it looks like now.

That area shouldnt be that green its unnatural. There are a lot of images floating around about what California looked like 10 years ago and today with reservoir and rivers all dried up. Well those were artificially created in the first place! They took a stream, built a dam on the canyon and then proceeded to drill 10 wells to create a lake then seem to forget that they did it and thought it was natural.

On my list of favorite comedic people: "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Why he hasn't ever been considered for the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame (that I am aware of) is beyond me.

BTW, there's a thread to vote for your favourite videos:http://loadingreadyrun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22916#

Personally, I would probably find picking a top 5 per season easier than picking a rating for all of the videos.
