Its not over the top, however the humour is there. I enjoyed it very much and it made me smile. I personally feel you got the tone bang on with the scripting and acting.

And that isn't an English accent! :p Thats a Holywood Movie English accent! :roll:

Burnout Revenge, to be exact. An awesome game to no end. Especially since you can actually drive into traffic this time to destroy them.

Great idea for a video, very nice writing Andy (ah and it involved a musical too).

Pokemon??
Anyone else see this? :roll:

I work in a game store. I get game posters for free. I have a collection of nearly 400 video games. I like a good game regardless of any "kiddie" image it might have.

Pokemon are awesome. The game was also the inspiration for how Paladins summon their celestial mounts in the OotSverse, so it's doubly awesome.

Nearly. He's one of my favorites.

I'm so glad people are enjoying the video! I wish I could watch it, but I'm sitting in a motel hallway in the middle of the night and I can't use sound.

It's funny. Really. :-)

It's a way, waaaaay more subdued, funny. Almost a little sad actually. Pathos everybody. What.

Which is a good thing. I think Matt looks cute in this week's video!

Also: very damn nice guys. I loved Andy's writing, and the lighting effects were great too.

THE PHONE WAS IMAGNARY!!!

Yes yes... I did totally wake up this morning screaming that... Funny I dreamnt about an LRR video. But yes. The phone is imagnary! So Martin never actually arranged anything with Karyn!

The phone comes from Xavier's hands into Martin. Martin makes the call and then Xavier takes the phone back. What this video is actually about Martin having a split personality syndrome with a British Pimp.

Matt's Intrepid Battleaxe of the Horde has a +12 "Solid Imagination" bonus when not equipped, as well as a +9 against ogres.

Did you spell it wrong in your dream too?
I would also say "Duh, everyone else knew that. Loserface." but then i'm never sure if they did.

Peaple am stopid.

edit: Hmmmm, my posts seem very negative recently and i've no idea why. So... I retract my earlier digs and instead congratulate you on explaining to me the awesomeness of that script.

edit2: Gorrammit! Now it sounds like i'm being sarcastic... Screw it! I HATE YOU ALL!!!

Think Fight Club, the phone was in his hand all along, he just didn't realise it until later, and thus his mind came up with the scenerio of the figment picking it up and placing it in his hand to explain what went on.

Why do you know what Coke and Egg Yolk looks like?

I, too, noticed this. But like Matt said, its a good game even though it's very kiddy.

Loved this video, expecially the lighting effects, so smooth. I was grinning throughout. I use the 'Probably? No. Possibly? Yes,' rationale now just to screw with people.

My input into the phone debate? I don't actually care enough to argue the point. Apathy is a okay lifestyle choice, I guess.

Quick note Graham, us English gents use tie pins. Prevents said neckwear from drooping or blowing into anything unseemly, like poor people.

You see Xavier is not what a Englishmen really is but what Matt thinks an Englishmen is.

Exactly!

Also, the phone call was real, Matt's mind was rationalizing his making the call as Xavier handing him the phone. Or something.

robothero · Postby **robothero** » 01 Apr 2007, 15:21

No. The twist is that Graham is dreaming that he's a suave Englishman named Xavier, and when he awakes, Matt will cease to exist.

Melendwyr · Postby **Melendwyr** » 01 Apr 2007, 15:30

No, the twist is that tiny people inside Matt's mind have recognized that their entire world is composed of Matt's daydreams, and they've constructed a dimensional portal so that they can enter Matt's world and prevent him from being distracted by things like alarm clocks or telephones.

It'll all be for naught when he starts thinking about flamingos and neck bolts, though.
