First I was just going to thank you for giving us LRL on Christmas Eve, but since I stayed home sick from church this morning, thank you for something to watch whilst dealing with a stupid head cold and the lack of sleep brought about by said stupid head cold. (Being sick over Christmas sucks on toast.) Merry Christmas everybody!
Oh dear lord thank you. I laughed so much during the giving of the Christmas sweaters that my face started to hurt. I needed that. Merry Christmas folks.
Pauls voice is awesome, the sweaters were awesome, Ben pushed it to the limit of dark humor then was pushed further by Cam (good work, man). POWER DRILLS AND GINGERBREAD GUN TURRETS!! CHRISTMAS IS HERE!
Well, I'm thinking that those who have pure hatred of the game had probably never played a procedurally generated game before, or played very few of them. They're almost always at around the level of NMS or worse. I knew exactly what I was getting into with the game. Some people let their imaginations run away with them, and when it turned out to be exactly what it said on the tin, they were drastically disappointed. This kind of game is as vast as the ocean, but as deep as a puddle. I imagine real space exploration will ultimately be similar, but even more boring. Once you see a few dozen systems you start seeing the underlying patterns. If you allow too much emergent combinations of the gameplay, they become nearly impossible to fully test and are as buggy as heck, but if you want to avoid bugginess, you're basically limited to what you can code in and test. I do think they could have done certain things better (more chances of larger ships in crashes? Ability to move upgrades between ships?), but it's all in all a fairly average game of its type, with above average graphics.
Thanks for the info on it. Most of the people who gave it pure hate that I know of just play lol, and haven't really touched procedurally generated games, but I actually look forward to the game now, the bases sound interesting.
Hah, the bases always seemed like a silly thing to me, counter to pretty much the entire idea of the game. You're basically a space locust, sucking up some resources, learning the local languages, cataloging the very limited ecosystems of each planet, then moving on. Never staying in one place too long. There's no way to even bookmark a star system to get back to it later. The bases have you settling in one place. The freighter idea is actually much closer to what I would have expected from base building in this game, something you can bring with you as you suck resources out of the galaxy. I have the platinum trophy for the game, but even still I'm only 1/10th of the way towards the center of the galaxy... I lent it to my brother to give the patches time to complete before diving back in.
The freighter seems cool as well, I'm looking forward to getting the game. Have a nice day, I'm going to bed now because it's 3:33 on Christmas morning and I should sleep.
What I don't understand about Avalon is why, a ship for sleeper transport has. A bar with serving Robot, a swimming pool, large canteen area and a tonne of other facilities.
For the colonists to hang out at while they acclimatize to the general conditions of where the colony is being established. Also maybe if the ship isn't intended to come back then also they just land the ship itself and bam you've got a nice central entertainment district in your colony.
Okay, I think we need Cam or Alex to do a dramatic reading from that vampire book. I'm SUPER curious to find out what Alex was laughing at. I suspect that Dave's Spokesman would work as well.
This is something I've seen before, but never really understood. Ian has a tie with a squared end. What's the significance of that? How is it worn compared to a (For lack of a better term) Pointy-ended tie?
Its a more casual style of tie but as Ian noted it's just a tie, no real significance. It's an older style of tie that's fallen out of style and is now more common in knit ties.
@Loading Ready Run it actually does not take very long to do a DNA test the reason there is a backlog is because of volume so if Wyoming had a lab with a low workload turnaround could have been 48-72 hours.
OMG you guys! This is the bestest Christmas present ever! (The timing is a little weird though. Here Christmas is celebrated on the 24:th, but here it's 25:th o' clock. But this was uploaded on the 24:th for you, and you celebrate on the 25:th.)
In mention of Hail, Caesar! I saw it and while it was a good movie, I felt it should have been a mini-series cause there were two or three subplots that just kind of got resolved in the last 10 minutes of the film and I would love to see those subplots expanded
So, the "Live" part of LoadingReadyLive is because this is first aired live on Twitch. A feature that Twitch put out recently was the ability to donate "bits" to a channel. Each bit is basically one cent (American). A Twitch user can get bits either by just paying for them, or by voluntarily watching ads.
Is that Arrogant Worms at the beginning? I think I might be the only weirdo American who recognizes them. I never hear anyone else singing their music.
I have an idea for a loadingreadylive segment. Paul (and potentially also other people) balance things on their head with increasing difficulty, while also trying to figure hat is their head. Maybe this is an iteration of the shame game and the loser has to "balance" a liquid on their head? I didn't really think this through, I just wanted to give you an idea
Just my useless opinion, but I think blind white elephant ruins white elephant. I feel like the whole idea is that you can go with a known or gamble on an unknown. Though, somehow this worked out funny, anyway. Good job.
I feel like the Civilization issue, mighta been intended. Like another 'Gandhi as nukes" level trolling And just more, that sounds like something you would find in history somewhere, and you become sad and disappointed with humanity for like, another 4 years more the usual amount.
Passengers was actually pretty good I thought right up until a crappy tacked on action ending which felt totally out of sync with the rest of the movie. That was a shame but actually I thought the movie overall was pretty decent.
Beej! I, like you, get zero benefit from the 3d effects. Due to the way my eyes are messed up, I almost never see them at all. However, my friends and I usually do see them in the 3d anyway because one of us gets motion sickness from the NON-3d movies. When I'm by myself I refuse. Or with my family instead.

When Paul opens his gift, watch Cam's face carefully.
I did, and it was GLORIOUS
Ah fuck, never noticed before, this is genious :')
*Cam dot exe has encountered a problem*
Ooh i still love Pauls singing voice
Oh dear lord thank you. I laughed so much during the giving of the Christmas sweaters that my face started to hurt. I needed that. Merry Christmas folks.
THIS SHOW IS SO GOD DAMN GOOD. the style is so great, the budget is so perfect.
When you need POWER TOOLS to build a gingerbread village...
almost died of laughter after the botched crapshot, and was hooked for the rest of the episode. keep the excellent content coming!
Pauls voice is awesome, the sweaters were awesome, Ben pushed it to the limit of dark humor then was pushed further by Cam (good work, man). POWER DRILLS AND GINGERBREAD GUN TURRETS!! CHRISTMAS IS HERE!
This was such a good wholesome episode. Memories.
The opening(s) were perfect.
I didn't expect a LRL on Christmas Eve. I'm so happy to be wrong!
Merry Christmas! :)
*breaks out power tools for Gingerbread houses
. . . sorry *WUT*
Paul's voice is the sound of a angel.
Ian should totally read that book for a stream in a cozy chair by the fireplace.
At 27:42 what's around Graham's sock? Or is that a part of his sock? I'm not sure but it looks different.
+Grimwear I have patterned socks
ankle monitor
I think Baxter framed him for something
Baby Graham is adorable in this sketch, as is Actual Literal Baby Graham
I have this image of Graham showing up at a shop counter with a burlap sack full of jumpers cackling like a maniac as they're all scanned through.
I completely agree with Graham on No Man's Sky. It precisely met my expectations.
Kazriko Redclaw after hearing everyone's thoughts i may get it, this is the first time I haven't heard pure hatred for the game
Well, I'm thinking that those who have pure hatred of the game had probably never played a procedurally generated game before, or played very few of them. They're almost always at around the level of NMS or worse. I knew exactly what I was getting into with the game.

I dunno what Ian was complaining about - these sweaters have taste. Maybe not GOOD taste but certainly taste.
What I don't understand about Avalon is why, a ship for sleeper transport has. A bar with serving Robot, a swimming pool, large canteen area and a tonne of other facilities.
For the colonists to hang out at while they acclimatize to the general conditions of where the colony is being established. Also maybe if the ship isn't intended to come back then also they just land the ship itself and bam you've got a nice central entertainment district in your colony.
"You thought it was Top Gear before, now its Dom Gear" -Cam. Oh Senpai.
Merry Christmas! For 2017 please consider finding ways to let the intro music complete!
flinx It's music designed to be looped though. So it doesn't really have an end.
Taaketa Dinloka but it has a natural break point at 1 minute and 6 seconds. It worked well on some of the early episodes like #2 watch?v=Y10LBKjs6VI
have a beautiful christmasu to my fellow canadians, happy holdiays lrr :3
Wow five pounds of lard! That's enough to extract nitroglycerin! Good deal! Get on that Heather!
i love you people. merry Christmas you beautiful jolly AF Canadians
1:44:17 "Because I guarantee It will be in the Loading Time"
The Centipede was never in the Loading time :(
how cool would be a podcast of nothing but cam calmly talking about culture and media and whatever
That's pretty much what Talking Simulator is, though with bonus Alex.
Simon Welsh There are very, very few things in life that wouldn't be improved with more Alex.
Okay, I think we need Cam or Alex to do a dramatic reading from that vampire book. I'm SUPER curious to find out what Alex was laughing at. I suspect that Dave's Spokesman would work as well.
Schedule in the description please?
This is something I've seen before, but never really understood. Ian has a tie with a squared end. What's the significance of that? How is it worn compared to a (For lack of a better term) Pointy-ended tie?
As far as I can see, it's just a tie. I especially like that that tie end is a bit unfinished too. I found it at a local thrift store.
Its a more casual style of tie but as Ian noted it's just a tie, no real significance. It's an older style of tie that's fallen out of style and is now more common in knit ties.
Did anybody else expect Santa to crawl out of the screen like the girl from the Ring?
@Loading Ready Run it actually does not take very long to do a DNA test the reason there is a backlog is because of volume so if Wyoming had a lab with a low workload turnaround could have been 48-72 hours.
43:00 from what I've watched of Cam's Civ6 Streams, that is a very accurate description of all that is/was wrong with the AI.
Paul's dangly bits are just a box of wires..... That explains so much!
Graham breaking at "dom gear" is my favorite.
OMG you guys! This is the bestest Christmas present ever! (The timing is a little weird though. Here Christmas is celebrated on the 24:th, but here it's 25:th o' clock. But this was uploaded on the 24:th for you, and you celebrate on the 25:th.)
I can't seem to find deadpool on Netflix, this saddens me
My Siri went off when he was saying "Hey Siri"
Well that sucks... didn't know there were going to be spoilers for current in theater movies I was planning on seeing :(
the happy x-mas singing on checkpoint was great
In mention of Hail, Caesar! I saw it and while it was a good movie, I felt it should have been a mini-series cause there were two or three subplots that just kind of got resolved in the last 10 minutes of the film and I would love to see those subplots expanded
you guys are awesome
Christmas morning. 3AM. Got an hour of sleep and can't get back to it. At least I have LRL for until 5AM! Niece might even be up by then.
So was the mandatory sweaters not actually a surprise? Or was the stinger filmed during the other segments?
The sweaters themselves were a surprise. The fact that we were getting sweaters was not.
Ian, any chance of you dedicating a few weeks of TTSF to reading that book?
I'm assuming the decals are Rice paper
You don't want to know where the USB charger is on the RC human centipede.
Ok. I finally have to ask. What the heck are "bits"?
So, the "Live" part of LoadingReadyLive is because this is first aired live on Twitch. A feature that Twitch put out recently was the ability to donate "bits" to a channel. Each bit is basically one cent (American). A Twitch user can get bits either by just paying for them, or by voluntarily watching ads.
My work did a white elephant. I ended up with a lol emoji pillow, got it stolen, then opened a head massager
Is that Arrogant Worms at the beginning? I think I might be the only weirdo American who recognizes them. I never hear anyone else singing their music.
That stinger.
You do dark humour very well, please continue.
They should do something like the big fat quiz of the year.
4:40 Aw, I wanted to hear that one... #WeirdAl
53:53 I lost my shit at "dom gear"
What!? But the banana candy is like the best part of runts! So much so that stores that sell stuff in bulk have bananas-only runts!
I have an idea for a loadingreadylive segment. Paul (and potentially also other people) balance things on their head with increasing difficulty, while also trying to figure hat is their head. Maybe this is an iteration of the shame game and the loser has to "balance" a liquid on their head? I didn't really think this through, I just wanted to give you an idea
I forgot that Graham didn't have a beard back in the day.
Jaime234 It's really jarring isn't it.
Why does James always have to be such a spoil sport. Those sweaters are awesome!
Merry Holidaymas everyone
Also in the games section, Im most excited for Nier:Automata, anyone else?
I saw The Jungle Book remake and thought it was fun. Surprise Christopher Walken got me though.
Cam, Hail Caesar is really good
Just my useless opinion, but I think blind white elephant ruins white elephant. I feel like the whole idea is that you can go with a known or gamble on an unknown. Though, somehow this worked out funny, anyway. Good job.
lamas are new world animals
I like the sweater gram
Wow
I feel like the Civilization issue, mighta been intended.
Like another 'Gandhi as nukes" level trolling
And just more, that sounds like something you would find in history somewhere, and you become sad and disappointed with humanity for like, another 4 years more the usual amount.
I want that RC centipede. xD I think Paul won.
Paul's got a great voice tho
How does Kathleen know what edible underwear tastes like? Why does edible underwear even exist?
But Graham, you're supposed to be the scrooge!
So does Kathleen actually know and tryed edible under, because that's the vibe I got.......just sayin...
What about Dishonored 2, I mean the optimization was kinda shity but the game itself was real good
Passengers was actually pretty good I thought right up until a crappy tacked on action ending which felt totally out of sync with the rest of the movie. That was a shame but actually I thought the movie overall was pretty decent.
Beej! I, like you, get zero benefit from the 3d effects. Due to the way my eyes are messed up, I almost never see them at all. However, my friends and I usually do see them in the 3d anyway because one of us gets motion sickness from the NON-3d movies. When I'm by myself I refuse. Or with my family instead.
Stardew Valley, robbed again. :(
titanfall 2 the best
B
mair crimbus lrr!
Wait, Beej didn't want to take his pants off!?!!? what is wrong???
