Tried that, looked lame.
The way I did it, while a total pain in the ass-butt, and complete time-hog, was—I believe—the best solution.

Eh, I figured. I've got more experience with radio anyway. Let me tell you, the special effects are a hell of a lot easier. :)

I'm almost ashamed to say that I think I had a LRRgasm...
Almost.



And now I'm *that guy*, you know the one... :/ Oh well.

Still, awesome episode, and it's so great that it came so close after the last one. Really, you guys are spoiling us :)

Best Hustle yet guys! I really like what you're doing with this, can't wait until the next one gets here!

(if you're not planning already, you should have a release of a years worth of cH on a DVD at some point)
There are things in this world that I dislike. One of the things I dislike the most is a serious argument, well constructed, delivered by someone who makes themselves difficult to respect.

I think my head just imploded. So many awesome gags, and references I get.

The Graham-really-really-likes-games montage had he shitting myself. I thought it was undoubtedly the best part... but after the dust settled, I really have nfi which one is. It was ALL awesome :D

I loved this episode so much. Now, not having read ANY of the thread so far, did you guys roll dice in front of the camera until they all landed on ones, or are they really loaded dice?

I'm amused at the font in the pwn clip, being the same as the facebook font. so the was last line ended with "...face-ass."

Not because of the text, but because of the font. I'm sorry, I'm a desktop publishing geek.


I also enjoyed the pacing of this cHustle, it seems a lot slower than previous episodes, and less like rapidfire. Which in my opinion is much better and lets us learn more and allow for more jokes to get set up.

Tim wrote:Mosespippy and Dominic Appleguard are correct. Each dice was rolled individually a number of times, until a clean 1 was rolled. Then the die were all split-screened together so they all appear rolling at the same time.

And it took a lot more than 20 rolls to get some of those d20s to come up as ones... At one point, I tried to trick them, so I said, "Let's try for a six instead." And honestly 20% of the next thirty or forty rolls were sixes. And no ones. Sooooo annoying.

There's the answer!

I like the format of just you guys hanging out although I dont quite understand all the lingo.
Graham is that an actual full on suit? When I first saw the hoodie I thought 'cool' but then I saw the rest and I just about died.
Its. So. Good.

:P

dice

Does it actually do that if you 'wave the dice? or get them hot, or something? or is it just photoshop?

This was a little slow, but I laughed.

I love how James looks to be barely keeping a straight face when whipping out Bad Dudes from his shirt.

Okay, the whole beginning of the WoW LAN scene had me in stitches. especially Matt's song. Jsut as Adam asked if it was Mary Poppins, I remembered that it was supposed to be "I Love to Laugh".

Also, Adam's delivery of "Chim-chim-cher-ah, Asshole" has made me want to catalogue the snapbacks of through the years.

Also, one of the local bubble tea shops sells green milk bubble tea, so it's probably not bad luck.

Are you sure? It does not have the squared-off counterforms, which I find a pretty distinctive part of the Facebook font.





And though I did say after the previous Hussle that the continuity wasn't working for me, I did laugh out loud at the payoff for Graham's cowboy hat.

With my game experience, the GURPS system was like an El Camino.

Not a useful, full size truck and not a cool fast car. It worked, but was half-assed in all its features.

Some of the sourcebooks were rad though.

That was awesome guys, I was most amused. Plus Kathleen was neat, I'm pretty sure she has a not-so-secret life of just being awesome.

However it did remind me that I have yet to get my camera repaired/replaced after it got broken, despite it's protective little holder thing. God dammit. Where's $300 when you need it?

LRR, stop while you're ahead. At this rate, Hustle 4 will be so hilarious the space-time continuum will break and your funny will destroy the universe!

So yeah, I thought it was pretty good.

What the hell, that video was amazing. For some reason my favorite part was the Skittle Touch conversation: it's probably Graham's delivery, but a few of the lines feel downright Jack-Donaghy-esque.
None-hit wonder.
