I always wonder how hard it is for Graham to do that inflection that he does for the ads. If you've ever tried sounding like that, you realize that it's really hard. I wonder if he's just good at it now and it's easy from practice, or if there are still multiple takes because he "screws up" by sounding normal.

How do you come upon a hanger filled with these things? I was convinced it was just green screened at first.

If you've watched some of the Loading Times, they show off the shared storage space that came with the new moonbase. Which they happen to share it with a place that has lots of... Go-faster mobiles... and lances... So... Yeah! :D

Hmm, must've missed an episode. Either that or I spaced out a bit during the feature length moving episode.

The Rhino was mentioned over on a daily MTG post!

At number 9. I know LRR has a good relationship with WotC but its nice to see official recognition. :)

Headcanon: streamhouse guy and MTG salt guy are the same person.

I thought in Crapshots, as in commodoreHustle, everybody pretty much played themselves.

So since Paul is both the Streamhouse guy and the MTG salt guy, they should be the same person.

I mean, it's not like Paul is Beej...

Wait a minute... Paul IS Beej, as of the Shave.

I can't tell if "The Sub-ocean" is a real Crapshot or if Cam just started singing on his stream and it got used as a Crapshot.

Well, the lyrics were "third-party," if you'll pardon the expression. (Or is Stephen Harris a member of the LRR crew who has an extremely low profile? That seems less likely to me.) I'm pretty sure that glitch couldn't have been premeditated either.

I'm not sure when Cam streamed a playthrough of The Division, but I bet Stephen submitted the lyrics after that, and they recorded Cam singing, and then they edited from there.

Some people excel at finding ways to glitch out of levels, and share guides at how to do so. It wouldn't be hard to set that up for the Crapshot.

Graham, haven't you learned ANYTHING from time travel movies? Short term get rich quick schemes work, going back 80-90 years to kill Hitler? Nope.

According to Godwin's Law Of Time Travel, going back in time to kill Hitler would mean the Nazis won World War II.

I've seen enough Dr.Who to know that stopping WW 2 would have devastating effects on time. :V

@ Robo4900

Godwin's Law of Time Travel: because all changes, no matter how small, result in Hitler winning. As the page says, "I knew I shouldn't have left that tap running back in 1932." There's also Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act. Stupid, indispensable Hitler.

@ Thread

The Market reminds me of a CollegeHumor sketch about why traveling back to the 90s would suck.

"That's right, my dude. Hehe. We time traveled back to the 90s and you know what that means!?"

"Gack!"

"We only have a few years to stop 9/11."

*horror descends upon the face of the once excited time traveler*

Of course, whether killing Hitler or stopping 9/11 is a good idea isn't really the point. It's that Cam and Alex only think of using the power of time travel for selfish ends. Then again, as per the TV Tropes pages, killing Hitler never works. But Biff's plan in Back to the Future did!

The Birthmark 2 was one of the funniest yet heartwrenching crapshoots that I can remember. There's so much to this less-than-30-second skit, and every element of the jokes hit. Love it.

If only Nathaniel Hawthorne's book was as good as this.

I'm conflicted, I don't know whether to be amazed how smoothly Cam pulled off the bro-speech, or terrified that bros crotchet. XD

Crocheting is definitely a bro activity. When I was 20 I knew a ton of guys, very much of the bro variety, who learned to crochet so they could make hats.
