THE THREAD FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE NEW ASK LRR QUESTION THREAD

[teknotheef]

At this point in time... which I am guessing will be December if the current rate is kept, do you consider loadingreadyrunners.com to be a success?

[VanHelsing23]

I once invented a word: Amphibidextrous(adj) - Describing one with webbed hands.
Have any of you ever invented a word that is suitably hilarious for podcast consumption?

[Cokey]

Do you know what video I was going to watch after I finished Guide to Lesser Gods of Innocous Household Things? Another video came to mind while watching Lesser Gods, now I've forgotten it and it's driving me mad. Please help.

[Lyinginbedmon]

What is the most obscure joke you've made in a video?

(Besides Roentgenium)

[BobsAvatar]

What is your favorite time traveling series, movie, or book? (i.e Doctor Who, or Back to the future)

[anim3z0mbi3]

What do you guys do to stay fit and healthy? I'm a runner myself, and I enjoy it quite a lot!

What's the most legitimately challenging/infuriatingly difficult/just plain broken game you've ever played?

Finally, what were your first video games?

[Genghis Ares]

There is a blinding flash and a man with a strange machine is in front of you. He claims the machine has the power to erase a single memory and, at your request, he had just erased one of your memories. He presents you with a recording of yourself, prior to the memory wipe. You, on the recording, assure yourself that this is legit and that the memory had to be erased and that you should never get the memory back. The strange man then asks you if you would like to know what it was you "forgot".

Would you want to know? Or would you walk away, always knowing you have a missing memory?

Also, is there a memory you would want to be erased?

[Ben!]

this is my first post on the forum as i was to lazy to sign up before this time.

What is the stupidist way i which you guys have hurt yourself?
i once sat on a fold up table and it collapsed under me.

[Dorian]

Has there ever been a game that you played non-stop until you completed?

[Dave-O_Boy]

If you could create a LRR cartoon what would it be about? Would it just an animated cH or something a bit more zanny?

[Evil Jim]

Does Graham's family ever use the plates on the wall of their kitchen or are they bolted down?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Which would you rather have: GladOS or HAL 9000?

[Ben!]

In the Hustle 07 t-shirt add Matt said that if you wear Loading Ready Run t-shirts you get a hilium voice. But you can clearly see that Matt sucks helium from a balloon and he is not wearing a LRR t-shirt. So my question is this.

Does Matt suck that much?

Also what should i put on my toast tomorrow?.

Jam, peanut butter or both?

[Playsatan]

How is the Robo-monkey zombie invasion affecting your day to day life ?

[Evil Jim]

Discussion of Paul's beard or lack thereof continues unabated among fans despite the shavening last November. Since it would seem this attention just won't leave him be, does Paul miss the constant comparisons to Gordon Freeman or does he prefer the complements of how handsome he is with his shaven chin?

[Ben!]

Desert bus or dessert bus?

[Volnutt]

Have you ever had a dream about some one you never met but knew from basic physical descriptions?

[Arius]

So, I'm aiming for early November for when you get around to these questions.

Graham and Paul, how much of Unskippable is written and how much is simply off the cuff?

If my timing worked out, Desert Bus 3, anything special planned?

And finally, you know how if you visit an entertainment based site regularly and start to feel like you know the proprietors? Well, does it ever strike you that quite a few people likely feel that way about you guys?

[Ben!]

What is the wierdest name you have had the experience to come by?

I know a guy called, (and i'm not kidding) Blade.

[the amativeness]

In listening to the (now) recent LRRcast of "The Pub", there was the discussion on Zombies and your zombie plans. The discussion was brought up about hijacking a large ferry.

My question is thus: Given the option, would you want a floating "palace" to hang out on and shoot videos on, with the downside that your entire fan base would show up randomly to "hang out" whenever they felt like it?

[Master Gunner]

Completely unrelated to the above, do you think that BC ferries would have enough open deck space to attempt a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jump insertion?

[Patriot]

What is your favorite episode of Commodore Hustle Season 1?

[Lord Chrusher]

Since all elements were created in nuclear reactions how does it feel to be made out of nuclear waste?

On the flip side since virtually all elements heavier than helium (Ninety percent by mass of your body.) were created in stars or in star deaths how does it feel to be made out of star dust?

[Chfan]

(It's pronounced see-H-fan.)

Greetings from probably a few years ago considering your current rate and the volume of new questions. You guys are awesome guys.

(pick one if you're strapped for time, repeats, if I suck very hard, etc.)

If the LRR crew starred in their own video game, describe it: What genre would it be? How would each person factor in? Who would produce it? That sort of thing.

What new technology that was being hyped now (in early July 2009) that you have now do you like, and what do you think was never worth getting excited over?

(Graham/Paul) When making Unskippable, what's the process for the jokes? Do you watch the video, improv jokes, write down ones, etc.? What's the process?

How strong is Paul's glasses perscription?

WARNING: VERY VERY VERY LONG QUESTION

I recently read Sex, Drugs and Cocoapuffs by Chuck Klosterman, and it is quite possibly the best non-fiction book I have ever read. For realsies. One of the questions posed in the book is as follows:

You meet your soul mate. However, there is a catch: Every three years, someone will break both of your soul mate's collarbones with a Crescent wrench, and there is only one way you can stop this from happening: You must swallow a pill that will make every song you hear--for the rest of your life--sound as if it's being performed by the band Alice in Chains. When you hear Creedence Clearwater Revival on the radio, it will sound (to your ears) like it's being played by Alice in Chains. If you see Radiohead live, every one of their tunes will sound like it's being covered by Alice in Chains. When you hear a commercial jingle on TV, it will sound like Alice in Chains; if you sing to yourself in the shower, your voice will sound like deceased Alice vocalist Layne Staley performing a capella (but it will only sound this way to you). Would you swallow the pill?
