How to LRR

[James]

FORUM RANK CHALLANGE!!!

First person to name every person in that montage and what video it was will get a forum rank.

AND GO!

[Schmiddy]

Graham, does this mean you and I should start a website in a few years? The star trek cards carefully hidden in my room say yes.

[curbee]

STEP 10: ???
STEP 11: PROFIT

I love you guys.

[robbit]

Hey, you know what would be awesome. A download link.

[elvor]

The hats in the background were fantastic.

...that's all I can really pick out of the general awesome of the video.

[softness'squared]

Since our own vids were basically a rip off..er... inspired by LRR
we've definitely done the "hang around with these people and only these people throughout high school"
and the "make some videos which you find embarrassing even to this day"
and the "post your videos online (in secret)"
...
what's that... basically step 7
huzzah we have 64% successfully LRR'd

[Interruptor Jones]

That a question was asked literally ones of times is what stands out to me. I was delighted. Even though this was not an X ways to Y, I am still thrilled to the max. TO THE MAX, YO.

Also apparently there is some video comedy group in Victoria, doing a one-hour screening later this month. Called Boom Jr., and if I could find their website I would link. Vile imitators! Also there are only four of them!!

[Dutch guy]

That was... AWESOME

This was worth the wait. Great video

[Arius]

James, you're insane.

But I still made the attempt, got all but two.

[King Rocky IV]

I would have thought that Step 10 was "Sell Some T-Shirts".

That's as far as I get. I'm actually fairly certain some of those are wrong in the first place, so I doubt this'll help anyone.

[WNivek]

Awesome work, as usual.
I found step 10 to be especially informative, and not as self-referential as I'd expected.

[Mowinckel]

Now i have come to step 8... a question is it normal that the girl runs and screams? Also i have her tied up in my basement now, would you recommend this?

[Feltic]

6 Years, most impressive. Congratulations and great video

[ExplodingSims]

Well, I guess I'll never be able to make a successful video site.
Unless....

Also, good use of the ??? Profit thing.
I swear I heard work it in there!

[A Model Worker]

Did that video imply that Graham didn't meet Kate until after the website was made?

Awkward...

[Allen!]

I won't take advantage of KNOWING all of those people to name them, and I already have a forum rank.

Regardless, I fucking laughed so hard. I was totally looking forward to Matt's part, especially after the mention of the D&D group.

[Master Gunner]

Oddly enough, I'm well on track. I need still need to do the "better animated film" step, and meet up with the person I haven't met in years. I wonder if I can combine that with the girl-at-journalism-conference step....

Montage list almost complete. Would have it done a while ago, but I just got back from class.

[RytelCSF]

To be fair, Tim kinda weaseled his way in by being regularly available, similar in appearance to Matt, and a bringer of cake at crucial moments of charitable boredom.

Yeah, I was waiting for Tim to show up and say something like "If you've been unable to complete any of the previous steps, but know a group of people near you that have, simply wait for them for run a charity gaming marathon and bring them a cake." Oh well.

[Master Gunner]

Montage list is done, but I won't post it due to already having a rank. Not that hard since after so long on this site there were only about 3 I had to look up.

[Vigafre]

It's prolly not correct.

[ecocd]

Fun video! From listening to podcasts and hosting Morgan for a night I actually knew a lot of that already. I wonder what a video of me with my friends would be like. I have a "meet, leave, back again" friend.

With regard to the Escapist as profit it's (a) not LRR and (b) revenue, but probably not yet profit. Looking at only Unskippable, one would have to include quite a lot of fixed and ongoing costs: recording equipment, video editing software, PC/Mac for editing, PS3, XBox 360 and high speed internet. eNN needs to include the Moon Base as the studio, camera equipment, lighting equipment, sets, etc. If he were subject to U.S. income tax, I'm glad I'm not Graham's accountant - that's a lot of complicated business-expense tax deductions.

I sure hope they can find a way to turn a profit on LRR, because sooner or later the income from freelance videos will take precedence over a hobby. They're already busier on weekends than weekdays!

I got it down to 4 people I didn't recognize, but was missing quite a few of the videos from before season 5. Most people that could do it easily already have forum ranks. Props to anyone that can do it!

[AlexanderDitto]

Wow. That was just... wow. Amazing. It gave me the warm fuzzies... I feel like I've gotten to know you guys really well, and it's like... awwwww, gosh.

Congratulations on six years of internet insanity, LoadingReadyRun! May you continue to be ever increasingly fantastic.

Also, I lol'd.

Damn, I tried to identify everyone in the montage, I was about 6 short. LRR fans seem to have pretty good memories, I'm starting to regret the video of me shaving my legs...
