one question: Was that memory card a wafer-thin mint?

Playing a dead prson?

Also, all people on Twitter should write @VikkieTheMimm a message to say how awesome the video is. That way, she'll wake up to many @replies of happiness.

I wonder if it's even possible to say, "This Wake sucks."

"Keep Calm and Carry On" sounds to me like a much more casual form of "Live Long and Prosper."

Schrödinger's heart, that's silly. Well... Paul has been a zombie for a very long time.
My train of thought is more like a roller coaster that has loop de loops and no safety bars.

Nice work, MadamMimm! Expert writing =D

..I felt sad for Paul though (even though he just verbally slaughtered all of his friends), but maybe that's why I liked his role. o.o God, I'm evil..

Graham also has the best "Oh, didn't see you there" announcing tone. I -totally- need to work on an awesome script and see what roles are perfect for them. =O

Amusing. I expected them to throw a twist in that wasn't the standard "you're not really dying," but didn't know how exactly they'd do it. (Also, it made me think of Three PS3s--"Also, I have this cake.")

I find it jarring when you use names that aren't yours. I identify you as Paul and Graham. When you refer to eachother as "Craig" or "Jerry", I have a momentary disconnect from the comedy, just long enough for me to register "Oh, Graham is named Rob right now."

I find it somewhat jarring as well, but I'm fine with it--that's the price LRR pays for involving itself with its audience so thoroughly (via the forum, podcasts, Desert Bus, bonus videos...)--we feel like we know them. In addition, there's a continuity of sorts in some videos (most prominently cH, but other videos too) where they play themselves. The names make it clear that this video is not part of that continuity, so it allows them to play other roles. It would probably have been more jarring--and more confusing--for "Paul" to have been dating "Kathleen" for three years than it was for the characters in this video.

Considering her reaction when I told her how much her auction pieces went for in Desert Bus...


There may be a *slight* Mimmpocalypse in a few hours.

Not to nitpick your nitpick to my nitpick (which I appreciate your seconding), but nitpick is one word.

A funny alternate ending could've had Graham put on a doctor's glove and saying, 'I'm going in after it.'

This has got a very, VERY strong Frantics' "Last Will and Temperament" vibe to it. :)

So this is going to be last video to go up in the late evening in EST.

It's the end of an era folks, an end of an era.


edit: At least the "weekly podcasts" will still feel appropriately and LRRly Late.

That was a real PS2 memory card Paul "swallowed". We are stickers for detail.

I thought about pointing out the sticker error, but I'm not witty enough for that.

But yes, you guys are definitely the biggest sticklers for detail I've seen. That's not a bad thing, though.
