Man, you didn't blow the money on just buying 10,000 hats? What's wrong with you? Look at all the sweet hats you could get! You could even have gotten hats wearing hats, or made some kind of living sentient hat creature!

Still, my love of LRR in funny hats aside, this is a great start to what I think we all figure will be the best season ever! Good luck, have fun and we'll see you on the internets!

I am disappointed the stinger wasn't just "Sam Raimi" and you handing him some cash, for him to shrug and lift up a camera.

I mean, you have to go to some of the same conventions, right?

EDIT: Also, are Mac Pros serious $10k? Cause damn...

Oh yes. They start at $3k and go all the way up.

Keep in mind, these are workstation computers. They're meant for professional video editing, CAD software, animation, that kind of thing. You're talking 12-core processors, 64GB of RAM, and workstation-class video cards. Buying all the parts separately and assembling an equivalent PC yourself will still land you in the same price range.

It's fun to click on all the accessories though, and watch the price double even over the $10k unit (again, not necessarily unreasonably).

I'm typically as anti-Apple as they come, but if I had 10 grand to spare...well, there's actually a nice server in the same price range I've being looking at (and is better suited to what I do). If not for that, though, it's a nicely put together unit that I would love if I worked in the areas it's designed for.

I look at the four of you together at the beginning and think: "Kathleen's gonna need to beard up soon".
No matter what I say there is a 40% percent chance I'm not being serious, and if I sound like I'm not then I probably am.

No need, Paul has once again undergone a shavening.

Anyway, great video, guys. Your personalities in this video remind me of cHustle, which added to the humour.

Also, no money suit?

I find it sad and funny that no canadian plastic space money was used during filming. Couldn't stand the smell of maple syrup?

The laser eye surgery "Group Discount" joke raises a valid question: Is James the only member of LRR who doesn't wear glasses?

Great video to start off the new year, everyone. Matt's cameo has pretty damn funny as well.

Beej, Tally & Kate spring to mind, as well as Missie if her occasional cameos count.

Paul with beard bears an uncanny resemblance to Gordon Freeman. Has he heard that before?

Bitcoin Value Plunges as DDoS Strikes Currency Exchanges

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/132215-Bitcoin-Value-Plunges-as-DDoS-Strikes-Currency-Exchanges


"The value of most other Bitcoin variants has fallen, dragged down by the drop in Bitcoin itself. The one exception so far is Dogecoin, whose value has risen markedly. It's now the third most valuable cryptocurrency, after its value soared 27% in 24 hours."


Suddenly the investment ideas don't seem so ridiculous...

well, as a way to BLOW the KS funds, it kinda fails (sorta like those pie-in-the-sky borderline cons in "Brewster's Millions" that actually paid off ;) )

But yeah... "LoadingReadyRun: a more useful oracle than Delphi." :lol:
