LoadingReadyRun: Informational Presentation

[ThrashJazzAssassin]

Anyone else spot the upcomming video schedule? "Unemployed Announcer"? "The Drive (?)"? "cH - Nerf"?

LRR generally draw up a fake schedule if it's going to appear in a shot, so don't count on it. On the other hand, every so often they completely drop the ball, so it could be the actual schedule.

As for the video, it was so-so. The visual style was spot on, and the beginning and ending were solid, but it faltered in the middle as it switched between Quantum Documentary and Time is Money modes. I think you needed to come up with just one extra graph that was funny in its own right in order to sustain the lengthy build-up, rather than continue to throw out "Aaaah! More graphs!" graphs, because I had time to get bored before Kathleen's nervousness became entertaining.

I've never watched any LRR videos before, and I have to say I enjoyed it.
I laughed at the end.

Hey thanks! I hope you watch more. Even by our standards, this one was a little strange.

 

[Corven]

Like several people have already stated, this felt like a Quantum Documentary spin-off, with deadly graphs.

[sup]I've played too much IWBTG, because when I saw that lethal graph piece kill Kathleen, I half expected a press R to restart to appear.[/sup]

 

[Monshroud]

I was really waiting for Kathleen to say "Now, these points of data make a beautiful line..."

I also was expecting that pie chart to be pac-man and eat her.... Overall I thought it was funny.

Marvellous stuff. The end was crazy and the first half reminded me of this.

Oh snap you beat me to it

 

[Distorted Stu]

i find graphs are funny.

 

[HK_01]

This was awesome! Love the idea.

 

[Bowiesgirl]

Reminds me a bit of the BBC show Look Around You

 

[ZeppMan217]

At first, I thought it's gonna be some porn.

 

[dex-dex]

those awful graphs
those pie graphs are scary shit man!

and with the stinger
nice girly scream Matt!

 

[PH3NOmenon]

You people have won my soul and eternal allegiance.

I'll fight any number of graphs for you.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Fantastic. I'm nerdy enough to find this hilarious.

Shouldn't the middle bar be infinetly longer?

No. Not necessarily.

Unless it reprents the entirely of the black ink in each panel.

 

[Arctic Fox]

Thrilling good show everyone. I was a little confused at first until I realized that there was no real information. Then, it was all hilariousness. Thank you once again for making Monday great!!

Marvellous stuff. The end was crazy and the first half reminded me of this.

gah ninja'd and ya it reminded me of that too

 

[Macgyvercas]

NOOOOOOOOO!

Why did you kill Kathleen!?! She was my favorite person in LRR! And why is Jeremy dead!?!

I have to go cry now. /acting

Great episode.

 

[Megido]

I have no idea what just happened, but I loved it.

 

[Dracosage]

I'd find it funny if this wasn't a joke I've seen many a time.

 

[eframson]

OMG! The ending was so fantastic I almost spit out partially-masticated oatmeal on my keyboard. I was going to say that they captured the feel of 80s style training videos pretty well (and believe me, I've seen my share of the real thing...ugh). Although funnily enough, the shadow effect behind the text and graphs was actually a bit more modern than I would expect from the "real" thing. Silly technical critique, and other than that, simply fantastic. <3 LRR.

 

[ben---neb]

Good, but not great. Didn't expect the Piechart Lethality part though.

Calumon: And another reason for Jack to play with me and Ignore Statistics homework! ^^

[sub][sub]Like I even NEED a reason[/sub][/sub]

I would find it interesting to construct a graph representing your post count against number of times you're spilt personality seriously freaks me out. The eventual curve would follow a downwards gradient perhaps rising again after an unspecified x posts.

However, due to the apparent lethality of graphs I'm afraid I will not do so.

 

[Mr Companion]

At first I was wondering why, given the aesthetic style, there was not any graphs. And then by the end the number of graphs was terrifying.
