A Sacred Duty
For those playing along at home, Phailinite == Kryptonite. The rest you can probably figure out for yourselves.

First post with something worth reading.
I like the Elephant Matt shirt ad... Or is that "Elephant Man?"
Was that a Wii guitar in with the others? Maybe they should have been playing Wii Bowling instead.
Either there was some very clever editing in the beginning of this video or the entire first third was done in one take. Also, there was really nice editing on the climactic knee-groin.
You'll have to tell us about the monogrammed toilet paper prop. It looks authentic, shrink-wrapped even. Is it real?
Not only was Graham a douchebag, he was an amalgam of several kinds of douchebags... Or maybe just a little confused about douchebaggery, not being used to it.
Penrose Tiles! Awesome. I love the concept but can't imagine what this website would be like if they stuck with PT over LRR... Probably empty since they would've used a different URL

This was great. Graham how many popped collars did you have? I counted three but I was wondering if I was wrong.

Okay, so, that was actually pretty good. Didn't expect the knee, so kudos on that.
However... I realize now that Graham was portraying either the role of 'Conor' or 'Allen!', and either way, awesome. Well done, sirs.

Ok. How long until we see an avatar of Graham getting kneed in the groin for infinity?
I see Paul has sole writing credit on this one. Could it be to fulfill a long-time fantasy?

Great video. Loved the sly self-references, specifically "Penrose Tiles", Graham's era-appropriate shirt (from A Brief History of Lame, IIRC), and the writing area from The Process. Speaking of The Process, this script feels downright Lunchboxy... maybe it's just the meta subject matter combined with Graham playing a douchebag, both of which are Johnny's calling cards.
My only complaint: horrendous noise reduction artifacts during the flashback scene. What the butt? Almost makes me wonder if it's time to try some ADR again. Personal philosophy: noise gate >> noise reduction.

It's still Monday somewhere!
In all seriousness, very nice. Where's Graham's soul patch in the flashback? Did he grow it in response to starting the site? Did they shoot that when they first started the site so Paul would remember to take Graham out in case he became a douche? Was that back before anyone else appeared in videos like at the very beginning?
I did like the plates background, which is so totally classic LRR. When they make LRR Begins, that's got to have to make an appearance.

Matt, don't make us get our phailinite rings out...
So anyway, it's a great video, but the best part was the groin kick, because some how you all figured out how to really make it look as tight an edit job while making it look like Graham has lost not only his ability to procreate, but I'm sure there is more damage further back.
It reminds me of the fact that my friend Meredith actually did make her ex-boyfriend (who cheated on her with her best friend) lose complete ability to have children in much the same fashion.
