THE THREAD FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE NEW ASK LRR QUESTION THREAD

[MasterKuno]

It has been mentioned before that a couple of you played Magic in the past. Do any of you continue to play? If not, what has swayed you from playing?

More questions:

For you Harry Potter fans, what are your thoughts on Warner Bros. pushing back the 6th film to summer purely for lucrative money making reasons?

Thoughts on the rumors of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie being cast in the next Batman movie?

Did any of you play the original Baldur's Gate series on the PC? Good? Bad? Awesomesauce? Thoughts on the story and lore?

If you did play the before mentioned series, favorite Minsc quote?

"Go for the eyes Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!"

[the amativeness]

Since 4 of you now have iPhones (as of Emergency Situation podcast), how's the signal and reception at the LRR Orbiting Underground Moonbase?

What are your favorite apps?

[Maph]

I've heard that Bill plays Dungeons & Dragons, and was wondering what he does, and has played (characters, settings, editions etc), and what his favourite polyhedron is?

I may as well also ask what each of you who do play D&D think of 4th Edition.

Since 4 of you now have iPhones (as of Emergency Situation podcast), how's the signal and reception at the LRR Orbiting Underground Moonbase?

Given that it's in space, probably pretty good (Depending on cellphone satellites VS towers of course), though you'd need to factor in the interference through the lunar earth. Given that a heckload of the moon is actually Oxygen, probably not that much.

Therefore, I'd say it's got pretty good reception. This is assuming it doesn't have it's own tower.

Question:

What do you think of the Timeline of the LRRd?

(Yes, I will attempt to force you to talk about it )

[Hero of Canton]

Do you guys plan on bringing back Gibb?

[Mercenary]

What are your current near future plans? Like in a couple of months or even a year.


When is Gibb coming back?

I cant seem to hear what MMO's you guys are playing really clearly. Sometimes I hear Domo then Dota. What is it exactly?

[Master Gunner]

They're playing DOTA, and it's warcraft 3, not an MMO. The only MMO any of them were playing as of the last podcast is WoW. You can read more about DOTA at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOTA .

[CelticBeast]

Hi, how is everyone?
Who are your favourite comidians?

[Nomadic]

What would you guys do if all of a sudden LRR became something bigger and grander than YouTube and Google combined?

If you were making a movie about LRR of the LRR crew...who would you cast to play yourselves (To Paul: Edward James Olmos is an awesome choice, but we need him to play Abraham Lincoln in the scenes containing shots from your imagination. Choose someone else. XD )?

If you were to create an OS that combined three of the best qualities of Vista, Mac, and Linux (as in 3 per OS, not 3 total), which three qualities would you choose?

Considering Rock Band 2 is coming out soon (or might be out considering how slowly these questions get through the podcasts), what song would each of you want to see on the setlist?

[PhilK36]

If you had to have life sized wings, say 30ft span, to gain the abality to fly, would you want to?

[Zed Alpha]

If you had to pick one of the regular, local forum members to be a LRR cast/crew member, who would it be?

[Lord Chrusher]

Who is your favorite CBC Radio 3 presenter?

[tak197]

A genie comes from somewhere and grants you three wishes. What vessel would you like the genie to come from?

[Kerzyni]

And now for something completely different: A man with three questions.

Question, The First:
Do you (or have) read Science Fiction of your own accord? Also counting near-future, speculative fiction, etc..
IF "No.": Why the hell not?
IF "Yes.": What have you read, what are you reading currently, and what do you think of the novels and short stories by Stanisław Lem? Seriously? How could you have not... What? That's not true at all! See, in the The Futurological Congress... Well, that may be your oppinion. No, I'm not! No!

Subquestion, concerning TFC:
/* Redacted for being boooring. */


Question, The Larch:
Topic: Toilet paper on rolls in holders.
Question: Down in front of or around the back of the holder? (Hint: There is only one correct answer, heretics will be pulped by the grande cellulouse.)

Third bunch of questions:
As there are active Geohashers in the Victoria and Vancouver graticules, do any of you belong to them? If no, if you have heard of it before, does the amount of water-covered surfaces put you off or do you think it's a waste of time/pointless/boring?
See for all active graticules:

Victoria:

Vancouver:

P.S.: I would like it very much if you could answer at least one of my questions in the LRRCast, since I'm very keen on hearing you pronounce my username.
P.P.S.: "I'm not really into Pokémon" doesn't count as an answer (except maybe to the last one).
P.P.P.S: My good friend sends me this:
"Dear LoadingReadyRun,
I would like to know if M-theory could be complete.
Kind regards,
your greatest fan Edward Witten"

[YamaroV2]

What was the original NES cart you guys used in Skeletor's Dick?

[meisbored]

Are any of the crew going to the upcoming Weird Al concert at the Royal Theatre? I guess it probably will have come and gone by the time this is answered... but I saw Jer, Graham, Paul, ... and I think Matt if I remember right at the one last year. And I'm going again, because he and his band are fan-fucking-tastic.

[spartanhelmet]

Who would win in a fight... Canadaman or Story Guy?

[Lavos]

WhY sO sErIoUs?

[meisbored]

What are your opinions on the new Facebook layout?

[Lyinginbedmon]

How much would I need to have Paul redesign my website?

What do you think of the Timeline of the LRRd?

(Yes, I will attempt to force you to talk about it )

Also: Yay, 500th post! Only 500 more to 1K...

[mcjones9]

START HERE

Are you guys going to do a PAX meet up with any of the community members that are planning on attending? Any chance of meeting the crew and maybe challenging them to some games?

[Telonicus]

Would you guys ever consider doing a Stop-Motion/Claymation video?

[Psycho]

Monty Python or Mel Brooks?

[maxx111]

Will gibb appear in the phailhaus?

It says on the wiki that paul has once been shown on tape without a beard,
pictures please?

[Master Gunner]

It says on the wiki that paul has once been shown on tape without a beard,
pictures please?

That was in the "making of" featurette of After Hours. Since by the time they roll around to your question the DVD's will likely be available again, go buy them. Be careful though, the sight of Paul without a beard can lead to severe mental trauma and/or rapid cranial combustion.

(Just answering because I believe it's been mentioned in a podcast before, so they might not. I suggest you go through them all (again if you have already) for the sheer awesomeness contained within).
