I won't complain that you linked to one of my most favourite LRR videos ever ever ever, but... I still don't get the joke. Who are the Omeganauts and who is that person in the glossy B&W office-sized picture?SachielOne said:This should help explain the Omeganauts joke: http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/404/Mercenary-SolutionsRassmusseum said:I wanna know what was with the Omeganaut joke.

Omeganauts are people chosen at random by Gabe and Tycho to compete for....something? I don't know, I think there's a prize at the end. They play a bunch of games throughout the PAX weekend which ends at the closing ceremonies.The Random One said:I have no doubt whatsoever that Wil Wheaton does stand like that at all times.

(I wonder if people who develop/print film call the police every time someone asks for a glossy B&W office-sized headshot. Why would you ever need that if not to ask for an assassination?)

I got the mercenaries reference; I believe there's a more recent video of Alex and Kathleen as them here on the Escapist as well. I just don't know what an Omeganaut is because I'm unfamiliar with PAX.SachielOne said:This should help explain the Omeganauts joke: http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/404/Mercenary-SolutionsRassmusseum said:I wanna know what was with the Omeganaut joke.

Also, Pizza Zone makes some pretty decent pizza.
The Omeganauts are a group people randomly selected to compete in the Omegathon. The identity of the person in the picture is not relevant to the joke.Rassmusseum said:I just don't know what an Omeganaut is because I'm unfamiliar with PAX.
Heeey, I'm relevant...SachielOne said:The Omeganauts are a group people randomly selected to compete in the Omegathon. The identity of the person in the picture is not relevant to the joke.Rassmusseum said:I just don't know what an Omeganaut is because I'm unfamiliar with PAX.

Sam Raimi has used a first person perspecive shot in a great number of his movies. The evil spirit of the forest in Evil Dead 1-3. Crossbow bolt and spear head in Army of Darkness. He pioneered a cheap "steady cam" idea in which a camera was mounted to a heavy railroad tie and carried by two people at running pace through the woods. The weight of the heavy timber made the motion "zoomy smooth". He put a camera on the end of a long pole ("ram cam") and rammed it through two car windows (1973 Oldsmobile--"the classic") in Evil Dead 2. Without high dollar equipment, he panned by putting vasoline on boards and sliding the camera sideways.MowDownJoe said:Basically, every time they do one of these X Ways to Y skits, they always wrap up with a shot they call "The Sam Raimi", which is a shout-out to Sam Raimi's tendancy to have first-person shots from the perspective of some random projectile (at least, that's what Wikipedia says [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Raimi#Recurring_trademarks.2C_motifs.2C_and_partners]).Darth_Payn said:I haven't seen EVERY episode of LRR, so what's the Sam Raimi thing a cllback to?
