Aug 23rd :: A Little TOO Human

[Jer]

So, this was my first time editing a podcast, but with James away and Graham busy editing video, somebody had to step up.

I wasn't able to open James and Graham's normal scratch file, as my copy of Garage Band is out of date . . . and that meant I didn't have access to the normal music.

However, I did find a CD full of royalty free Christian music on the floor of a parking lot during (one of) our shoots today, so that provided an appropriate soundtrack. What can I say; God will provide!

Enjoy!

Hallelujah?

Thanks Jer. Now all we need is the ACTUAL PODCAST.

Seriously, it's not on the main page yet.

[jtaylor]

It's in the rss feed.

[tak197]

I don't get the RSS feed. And it updated on the front page after I had to go into the archive for it.

[Jer]

It lives!!

[Graham]

The database has a 10min refresh. Hit the wrong end of that when we upload, then that happens.

I see you guys haven't seen the various Conan chronologies
That is to say, there is an entire field of scholarship concerned only with ordering the multitude of Conan stories by either just Robert E. Howard, or all of the later authors as well.

On the note of Vader & Yoda being broken because they have lightsabers: Imagine playing them, armed with broken lightsabers

Can't say I cared much for the christian rock music though

[forty6andtwo]

ZOMG!!! Spaced Rocks Graham!! They should have made more than 2 seasons imo. Have you heard they are going to make a third movie for the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy? The first two Being Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, the last is supposed to be either an alien invasion or a Godzilla type movie.

[forty6andtwo]

Holy shit, you actually both read my question, AND picked my 15 seconds of fame!! WOOO!!! To Clarify, you step into a booth that moves along on a conveyor belt, where you take care of your business, etc. wash ur hands, while the pleasantries are there with you, ie. music, the game on a screen.
And Matt, how can you possibly be Optimus Prime, when
I AM OPTIMUS PRIME.

Thanks guys, you made my day!!!

Good stuff... and lets call Morgan out on being a wuss for running off too.

Though I'm wondering about something related to the 15 seconds question. What was the "Creationism: The Bar" title all about?

[Zhyard]

What was the movie that was mentioned when you were talking about numbers?

That would be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film). I've known about it for a long time, but never seen it.

I was about to comment on How awesome Kathleen looks.

And then started to listen to the podcast and heard Matt's "30% less fat" comment. how rude and accidental it may have been. you do look absolutely amazing Kathleen! great work!

There's a club in Victoria called "Evolution".

I don't think that was intentional :S; Matt is just an accidental douche.

Also, while I am naturally slim, I think we all know that Kathleen is in WAY better shape than I am.

Hey, thanks for another awesome podcast. Question though, was this recorded differently to other podcasts?, because it sounded louder. I am, however, comparing the volume to the sound effects to tetris, so I could be wrong. Another Loading Time in the running, huzzah!

(EDIT: On second thoughts I have amended my second paragraph; getting drunk by eight does me now favors.)On a side note, I had originally decided not to enter the 15 seconds of fame because I have already won a trivia challenge, but I did a u-turn and planned to enter it this week. Alas, I know nothing about Transformers having never watched it, so I decided to postpone. Is the 15 minutes of fame a sort of replacement for the forum rank challenge (ergo people who have won should refrain), or is something different? Boring questions courtesy of Emperor Gum, sobering.

[Graham]

15 seconds of fame is different.
Your reward is being part of the podcast. Anyone and everyone can, and should, enter. Each week if you like.

[Keith K]

I tend to find Jer videos much funnier once I hear his thought process into it's creation.

So I tried the Braid demo and it's quite good. Something about it feels like the creator wanted to make his own version of Super Mario World with a western fantasy motif. It works out very well. Unfortunately that damn 1200 points price point means having to spend $30 on points via XBLM...

Great game though. I was particularly impressed by the ability to create and manipulate platforms by collecting puzzle pieces.

[Yukikaze]

While it lacks the usual LRR feel, I did like the different music this week. Very mellow, relaxing.

I'm also shocked to hear a LRR member, particularly Jer, talk about Christianity in a remotely serious and positive tone.

As cool as the 15 Seconds of Fame will be, getting to hear other community members, I think I'll opt to enter the alternate segment, "15 Seconds of Anonymity."

Good podcast. As usual.

graham pwns.

Thanks; when the subject is something I know something about, I'll bring home the bacon.

I would be very interested in making a timeline, though I'm not sure when I'll have time soon. Tomorrow I'm meeting with friends and possibly making a comic, Wednesday I have filming for Memory Loss, college, and a Remember update, etc.

Hopefully I'll have something before Saturday.

EDIT: Here's what I have so far.

1812 The War of 1812. Matt, Morgan, Bill, and James all participate in the war using their latent psychic abilities to set fire to the Whitehouse.
1816 Kathleen & Graham are married when they are found to be living together by an Irish Catholic priest.
2003 LoadingReadyRun is created
2008 The Pre-Emptive Too Human Review project is begun by Kathleen. Future Paul & Future Graham, with Kathleen in an iPhone, visit to alter history by discouraging tomato consumption.
2009 The Shark Armada falls to the Ursine Coalition for Picnic baskets in the Massacre of Duck 359. James Allard is assassinated with a hurled Wiimote.
2010 The Ursine Coalition attacks Kirkland and Victoria, beginning the Bear Wars. Uwe Boll is killed ten minutes in.
2011 The Orbiting Underground Moonbase is infiltrated by Ghost Bears and James dies activating the self-destruct by overloading the reactor. Matt & Morgan are hurled into space by the explosion, but are rescued by Future Canadaman.
2012 Kathleen is horribly mauled, Paul creates a Linux app (Oracle.exe) to install her consciousness on an iPhone. Graham retrieves her corpse from the Bear Fortress and successfully does so.
2013 Tomato is found to cause anti-psionic food poisoning. The tomato stock is given to several bear armies as a peace-offering, then exploded with remote plasma mines.
2014 Stale 4th Bagels enter circulation as hurled projectiles. The forces of living bears suffer massive casualties before adapting with Donut Armor. Ash becomes evil ruler of the Bear Coalition after poisoning Lord Bigfoot.
2015 Pat & Geoff are captured by Zombie Bears. Pat's final words are "Watch it grow!" before filling his devourer with expanding plastique and detonating the Bear Fortress. Geoff survives by using his rocker face to scare the explosion into submission.
2016 The crew receive a Time Helmet 4.8 from Future Paul dressed in 19th century garb, complete with anti-paradox technology to prevent head explosions
2017 The Ghost Bears salvage and partially rebuild the Yamato, it is captured just prior to completion by the Human Federation of Western Canada, lead by Bill & Jer with 300 neutral ninja forces.
2018 The Bear Wars officially end with the Battle of St. Alex Island
2019 Paul pinpoints two points in history that greatly affected the Bear War continuity. Matt & Graham correct these points to favour the human sides, resurrecting James in the process and restoring the Moonbase.
2020 Jer steals the prototype Time Wii 4.8 to travel to 2005 and trade places with his 2005 self. The attempt fails however, as Paul had previously altered the Time Wii to function within the Infinite Universes theory. However, he does succeed in preventing the Halo Wars.
2024 Kathleen is uploaded onto the Internets, accidentally causing a brief bout of ZOMGies in the Victoria area before being downloaded into a upgraded Furby.

The yotsuba&!-Cardboardman question is refering to this http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4073 ... medqb2.jpg which apears in the manga. I too thought of that connection when I saw it.
