The LRR CD-ROM Game

[Zemro Shivic]

Be honest, how many of you tried to click on the tshirt and paused the video?


*raises hand

*also raises hand*

Well, I didn't expect anything to happen, but I couldn't suppress the urge to anyway.

[Mowinckel]

I was kind of tired when I was watching this and i actually clicked on the video after Graham insisted... which paused the video and make me feel like an idiot

[Fugiman]

We can totally provide the vocal track and music track separately, if you want.

Also, props must be thrust again onto Bradley, who made all of this week's music on actual 1990s-era equipment.

Oh, wow. Okay. All I've done so far is by chopping up the video I had and adding invisible buttons over top key items, and jumping ahead in the video if you do it right. The more raw effects though, the better I can do (or worse, depending on how you view it ). [email protected] is my email if you don't want it all public

Choosing flash was a terrible idea, I forgot how much a pain it is to code in. Didn't help that eclipse fought me every step of the way I'll try to make the promise of SOMETHING up tonight, and since it will totally suck I'll throw in dev pictures. People care about that right?

EDIT: HAHA what a lie. As soon as I posted that and went back to work, the entire project stopped producing any usable .swf's. As such, I'm going to sleep. Really want to get this out ASAP, but everything keeps going wrong. Hopefully some pictures will tide you over?

Fantastic video!

[Phailhammer]

Was anyone else expecting TypeYourNameHere to end up in The Basement after the chloroform?

[RytelCSF]

"To find out why I brought you here, click the axe attached to my arm." ... ... "...Really?"

Could a music geek get some details, please?

Hey, are you going to click or not? Ah screw this, I'm going to grab Alex again.

If anyone makes this into a real game, please include the following.

Paul: "Type in the number of PS3s I have!"

[ThrashJazzAssassin]

Sooooo funny. And I didn't just click on the shirt, I continued to click every time throughout the rest of the video. Just in case. For real.

Sometimes I worry myself.

My favourite bit has to be James' "Wait... Matt?", although the whole of Graham and Matt's segment is brilliant.

Forgot to put this in my original post, but:

Signs a joke has reached critical levels in the LRR community: it slips into usage in a video.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one!

[Blind_Gecko]

This really brought back memories for me. The way you waited for the user to click was so perfect if you didnt attempt to see if it would work once your are brain dead. Great job LRR!

his is pretty much the go-to guy for LLR to get music, he did the music for "who are you gonna call" and "the job". he got a website http://www.bradleyrains.com/

Ooh, awesomeness.

[MotorWaffle]

Incredible video, and yes, I tried clicking on the shirt. I knew, deep down, that nothing would happen, but there was a persistant glimmer of hope that it would.
I think so many people trying to actually play it says alot.

^ THIS.

*raises hand*

Oh, and

You are now my hero.


...as is Fugiman for his usual "What? It's just an idea about a game? We'll see about THAT!!!"

Any assistance I can provide in making TLCRG a reality, F, will be gratefully offered.


...because someday I want to type "Graham's Balls" in that name field...

[ecocd]

I'm proud to say that I didn't click on the video. This is, in part, because I had a lot of fun back in the day NOT clicking on those games to see what would happen. Inevitably, the game would simply continue as it does in the actual video. It's clear the script writer had played the same type of games I did.

For what it's worth, I did actually make it to the playtest phase of a LRR cHustle boardgame. It was a 2 player game where Graham and Paul formed rival street gangs and each raced to be the first to write, film, edit and upload 3 videos. I actually played a full game of it by myself and it even kind of worked.

It was at that point I realized that I would never have anyone to play the game with and lost my motivation to see if it could be polished into a real game.

Whatever happened to the metal plate, anyway?

That sounds like a game I would play! Maybe you could make it into an online game.

Also, I agree, where has the Metal Plate gone?

Maybe they used it in outtakes from the last couple seasons, but we havent seen them yet since the DVDs have yet to be released.

[Bolderman2010]

We need to make this game sooooo much.... With more pigs

Metal Plate

Do you guys mean the Pot lid? From the rumble? The thing that beat Matt as the PC?

Metal Plate

Do you guys mean the Pot lid? From the rumble? The thing that beat Matt as the PC?

No. The plate is a piece of metal from the inside of the keyboard that was destroyed in "Those Games We Played" (the 2006 video). It has become a recurring joke for the plate to make an appearance at random times, at which point it is used as a comedic hammer.

It should be noted that being hit by the metal plate does not actually hurt (much), as the plate bends at the point at which the plate contacts the recipient's head. There is more about it on the LRR S-4 DVD. BUY DVDs.

[Phailhammer]

I think it was a metal plate that came out of a keyboard. It bent if you hit someone with the right side.
Edit: Damn, someone beat me to it.

[the amativeness]

It bent if you hit someone with the right side.

And it hurt if you hit someone with the wrong side. Like Almost-Matt.

Also, if I remember correctly, James is the keeper of the plate. So James, where is it

[Fugiman]

I believe he was waiting until it was completely and totally forgotten about. So congratulations, now we have to wait even longer
