He has a gun, just no muzzle flash.
My bad.

Maybe he's out of bullets?






I went to bed at 3:00AM.

In his panic at the vision of a giant brown Golem of pure, corrugated pain lumbering down the hallways towards him, he forgot to take the safety off.

The minions could fire because they're minions, and walk around with the safety off all the time. They're expendable, its not worth the resources to spend time training them properly. Whatever.

I am unhappy. :(

I personally don't find parodies to be as funny as original material, so the last three weeks have been kinda 'meh'.

Funny video, but not your guys' best work.

Needs moar Kathleen originality.

The best LRR stuff is all-original. This parody, although derivative, is still pretty good, though.

I note that it doesn't have a Wiki page yet. (Hint, hint.)

This is probably my favorite video of the last few weeks. Not that I think any of them were particularly bad, but this one really shines above some of the more recent stuff like the GTA4 trailer and the Uwe Boll video. Well done sirs!

Though, there was a serious Matt deficiency in this video. That displeases me.

The production values do seem somewhat higher... but consider the cost in Graham-hours.

Clearly the sacrifice of Graham sleep time grants a bonus on the Create Video check as per the optional sacrificial benefits rules.

In this case, we sacrificed so many as to receive a greater benefit from our demonic/devilish/modron lords and masters, thus resulting in the pure refined Phail that composes this awesome video.





So I hear I take thoughts a little far sometimes...

That... was... fasTAStic! You guys should TOTALLY be wearing that cardboard suit in public.

Quite right! Graham needs to take smaller character flaws like Greater Insomnia to afford the points he needs for the Prestige Class, Phailmancer

Nicely Sweded trailer.

You know, I've always wondered if you guys could Swede one of your own videos.

This one was good, but I think you could do a whole movie rather than just a trailer. I only say that because y'all have set my standards high.

Enjoyed it though.

YES.

That was awesome. The scene where Graham appears wearing the cardboard outfit had me in stitches.

Is this the movie that required all of the cardboard boxes that you guys were saving?

Details.


I'll take a guess: Cardboard Man becomes a 3D effect. Probably the easiest way, considering he is made of boxes.


That's not a story. I want the STORY. Like, who did it and using what program and did it take "like FOREVER" to render, or did it turn out "betta than I woulda' thout."

You know.

THE STORY.

Once upon a time there was a Phailmancer named Graham, Graham had a 3d modelling program like 3dsmax(or something) he used this program to put a bunch of boxes together, found a Cardboard Texture, or a color that looked close enough, and applied them to the boxes. He put little boxes that looked like stickers on top of those boxes and even a lightsource so that the boxes had shadows, and a firey light thingy at the very end of the boxes.
Then he made the boxgroup fly toward the camera, and put a really big, curved plane out in the distance and stuck a picture of the sky onto it.
Then the great Phailmancer said "Render" and it was immediatly so.
Some say it took 5 minutes to render, others say an hour. The facts have been lost in time but the true believers still claim they could have blinked and missed it.

Now, go to bed. Or the Phailmancer will come and make your bladder Fail in the night.

Of course, The podcast probably will cover all that, and accuratly.

The best part is the paper bag with the sad face being removed, and Graham having an expression remarkably like the covering beneath.
