James, Adam, and I play the Sealed Event at GP Vegas, and it went okay for me! LRR Patreon: Patreon.com/loadingreadyrun Music: / desi-beats-instrumental
Hey Graham, I'm your round one opponent!!! Thanks for being awesome through these bad circumstances, and introducing me to the rest of the LRR guys there, it made it worth it in my opinion.
Graham, your vlogs have the feel of someone who has been vlogging for years. I mean I know you have been in video production for a long time, but I feel that vlogs are different enough that it's not an automatic transition, and I think you have made this transition quite well!
I really appreciate your comedic timing with these. You have a ton of experience in entertaining people, and it shows. The "I'm still here" at the end was A+.
Loving the walk up shots, because I get a chuckle knowing you had to set up the camera first, walk away, then come back. That's dedication and good direction. loving the glogs (graham vlogs)
There were fewer people in the VIP play area shown in the video & most there knew Graham so it wasn’t as bad as doing that in the general player area, but point well taken.
That Graham can compose this as well as he is, conceptualize it as he is going about his day, AND actually takes the time to piece it together at the end of the night...boundless respect to his work ethic and dedication! Also, I'm surprised how entertaining it is to see him just VLOG!
I started watching LRR back in 2008 with the Daily Drop series on the Escapist. I always loved your comedic timing, and this is wonderful example of it. You manage to make something with as many highs, lows and incredible tedium as a convention with eight (choke... eight omg) rounds of magic seem like a light afternoon with friends and fun. While it's true that all of LRR brings creativity and laughter into the banality of my work week; your professionalism and personality are one of the main reasons I continue to watch. Please continue these Vlogs, I really love them.
An interesting note; the gentleman two seats to Graham’s right when the pools were being passed out is Openboosters from YT. My friends were all super jealous I had met him (they’re all Legacy/Vintage/Commander players) & until Rudy’s videos from this event, he had never shown his face on camera before. (I was in the GameStop exclusive green & black Injustice 2 ESport jersey.)
That clip of your high frame rate time-lapse was way too funny to me. The best part about these vlogs is that it's enjoyable for someone like me who isn't all that into MTG. Keep it up, Graham!
I was about to ask for an update on Alex's weekend, but then I thought "if only there were some kind of microblogging platform that allowed Alex to share his experiences directly with us." Eh, it'll never catch on.
Yeah, it's important to remember there are assholes in any community. But also remember that the GP floor is open to anyone. The fact that decks of trading cards can be valuable isn't exactly a secret either.
orlastheman You're telling me man, that was my pool :P I really appreciate how cool Graham was though, he brought me back to meet the other LRR guys and I got to hang with them , so it was a pretty awesome time over all
The first or second day of playing EDH at the GP we met this super nice guy from Brazil who had the sickest Sidisi deck. It was foiled out, he was running some CE Dual Lands (Keeping his real ones in a different deck) and had at least five GORGEOUS custom alters on The Commander and other cards. The last day of the GP I played with some other guys who met him and it turned out someone stole that deck, worst news I had heard all week.
What was so great about being Diamond VIP for these GP’s was you never left the play section shown in the video, it was hella more spacious compared to the rest of the GP, & your opponents always had to come to you.
Also I am in the video 2 seats down from Graham when he is sitting down to build on the opposite side in the green Injustice GS exclusive esports jersey. I am also in the background when Marshall is asking people what they think the proper pronounciation of jitte is.
Hey I'm in this video!! I didn't even realize that the vlog camera was recording!! I'm not complaining I'm just surprised!! I'm super happy and excited that I made it into one of these!! Also question since you guys have been in videos for a long time I'm sure you guys have heard recordings of yourself 1000 times over so is it just me or does everyone think they sound weird when recorded?
Well Im happy to hear you had a good time atleast! Wish I could've been there, Seemed so cool, oh well I atleast got to experience it through all the youtube content it created!
your gp was like mine lol 4$waters. no shows. no sleep. awsome folk. just seeing this and your content for the first time. simply inspired as I am new to the content community @magic_nerd2017 instagram. don't know about you but I'm glad to see people like you doing this. it's really a breathe of fresh air and I'm glad we both hate the vegas heat. unpleasant. I very much appriciate the time and effort you put into your content and look forward to more. earned a SUB from me fam. many cheers seeya around. magic_nerd2017 out...
I know the music is probably fairly used under creative commons, but can we still get links to it? Might be nice to have some fun ambient music while coding or gaming or something.
HighHammerNoob No problem, day 1 is when everyone who paid the tournament entry fee participate. If you are good enough, you get to participate in day 2 events. Otherwise, there are still other events going on, but your tournament is officially over. ^_^
HighHammerNoob Oh that's too bad, Magic is a great game! Same here, about 30 mins car ride from nearest Card Shop. Always wanted to start my own... who knows, maybe one day... ;-)
While I don't actually play Magic, I know I always have a knack of somehow pulling byes. (The chance increasing the further I had to travel for the event.) Which sucks, due to living in the middle of nowhere I don't get to actually play games in the flesh that often. Don't care about "winning" or "making the cut", let me play the dang game.
Lol, I once went 4-5 in a 9 round event, having only won 4 GAMES of magic. 2 opponents didn't show up, one had to drop and conceded the match, and I won round 8.

These bots are so annoying and they are all over youtube

+ebmusicman84 Thank you so much-that means a lot :)
I really appreciate your comedic timing with these. You have a ton of experience in entertaining people, and it shows. The "I'm still here" at the end was A+.
Man, I wanna see LRR play a GIANT game of Magic, I think that'd be so fun!
Loving the walk up shots, because I get a chuckle knowing you had to set up the camera first, walk away, then come back. That's dedication and good direction. loving the glogs (graham vlogs)
Love Alex breaking the fourth wall on it in the previous vlog!
Cracked me up! I was asking right when he said something.
Timelapse deck building is amazing. Great music for it, too.
omg thank you for the highspeed/timelapse gaffe, got good laugh XD.
The thought of you setting up all your filming gear in a public place and walking away from it for the shot is really nerve wracking for me.
There were fewer people in the VIP play area shown in the video & most there knew Graham so it wasn’t as bad as doing that in the general player area, but point well taken.
that slow-mo footage, absolutely majestic
So far, I think the biggest thing I've learned from all your vlogs is "don't buy a smartwatch."
+Caleb Cologna It's my own fault for forgetting the charger at home

love the gp Vegas blogs. random cameos from other community members are awesome. also, grats on day 2
Honestly you got me into magic and twitch now you got me liking vlogs. What is this magic haha. honestly though loving this channel G
I love your channel!!! Lrr is AMAZING and best of luck onward!❤
these vlogs are the best! thank you so much for them Graham, seriously they don't need to be exciting, just real.
these vlogs are AWESOME! keep them coming and congrats on making day 2!
Rip man. I'm sorry u lost your deck. That's awesome that he helped u.
for some reason the whisper at the end killed me XD
I love these vlogs. Makes me really want to go to a GP again!
Thanks for making these! :D
Your time estimation skills might need some work, but the finished product is awesome!
Yeah I'm in the video twice! :) Congrats on day 2 & great talking to you & Adam at the VIP Party.
James' watch band is amazing!
That clip of your high frame rate time-lapse was way too funny to me. The best part about these vlogs is that it's enjoyable for someone like me who isn't all that into MTG. Keep it up, Graham!
No, it's perfect aside, from personal and professional growth we should all aspire too, never change.
this is the reason I love this game. the community I.e. lrr especially Graham :)
Congrats on Day 2!!!!! I can't wait to get to go to a GP!!!
I was about to ask for an update on Alex's weekend, but then I thought "if only there were some kind of microblogging platform that allowed Alex to share his experiences directly with us."
Eh, it'll never catch on.
I feel bumped about the round 1 guy, there can be really assholes in MTG community
Yeah, it's important to remember there are assholes in any community. But also remember that the GP floor is open to anyone. The fact that decks of trading cards can be valuable isn't exactly a secret either.
True but the fact there was a Force of will in the box, seems to be a little far fetch of a coincidence
orlastheman You're telling me man, that was my pool :P I really appreciate how cool Graham was though, he brought me back to meet the other LRR guys and I got to hang with them , so it was a pretty awesome time over all
Nathan Jones wow that is actually really awesome, hope you had fun at least.
The first or second day of playing EDH at the GP we met this super nice guy from Brazil who had the sickest Sidisi deck. It was foiled out, he was running some CE Dual Lands (Keeping his real ones in a different deck) and had at least five GORGEOUS custom alters on The Commander and other cards.
The last day of the GP I played with some other guys who met him and it turned out someone stole that deck, worst news I had heard all week.
Huzzah for making it to Day 2!!!
grats on day two!
Congratulations for your day 2 graham
Jdubbbz here at gp vegas
Congrats on day 2! Still hoping to get there myself
That "....*cough*......*sniff*....One and oh!" Was the greates thing all day XD
MAGIC magic Magic!
"Catastrofucked"
I'm stealing that.
Epic tolarian community college play mat at 4:06
Lol. Catastrofucked is my new favourite expression, totally stealing that.
What was so great about being Diamond VIP for these GP’s was you never left the play section shown in the video, it was hella more spacious compared to the rest of the GP, & your opponents always had to come to you.
The upstairs lounge with cookies & an XB1 playing the coverage on the Twitch app was also nice. :)
Also I am in the video 2 seats down from Graham when he is sitting down to build on the opposite side in the green Injustice GS exclusive esports jersey. I am also in the background when Marshall is asking people what they think the proper pronounciation of jitte is.
10/10 great intro
After that guy lost his deckbox I wouldn't have turned my back on that nice ass camera.
Having now listened to a ton of both limited resources and sidewalk slam, Marshall and Adam have strikingly similar personalities
Hey I'm in this video!! I didn't even realize that the vlog camera was recording!! I'm not complaining I'm just surprised!! I'm super happy and excited that I made it into one of these!! Also question since you guys have been in videos for a long time I'm sure you guys have heard recordings of yourself 1000 times over so is it just me or does everyone think they sound weird when recorded?
Completely unrelated, but the music in this episode is a bop.
08:40 - I think perhaps this happy accident was better than what you intended!
Congratz Graham! Awesome. All the pre-prereleases start to pay of, don't they, he he?
Yaaaaaaaayyy, jimmyyyyyyyy
...Are you still there? Another great episode, highly impressed at the rate you're kicking these out at Graham.
I feel so bad for your round 1 opponent, hope he had a good rest of the tournament!
Filip de Groot Boersma I did!!! GP Vegas was a blast, and losing that pool and getting to meet all the LRR guys there made up for the lost pool!!
Well Im happy to hear you had a good time atleast! Wish I could've been there, Seemed so cool, oh well I atleast got to experience it through all the youtube content it created!
GO Denver coming In August. You should go!!
Unfortunatley I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic to go to denver but I'm thinking of flying to the UK to maybe play GP Liverpool later this year!
Unfortunate, but you definitely should, I've heard Liverpool hosts a great GP. Goodluck to you friend!
your gp was like mine lol 4$waters. no shows. no sleep. awsome folk. just seeing this and your content for the first time. simply inspired as I am new to the content community @magic_nerd2017 instagram.
don't know about you but I'm glad to see people like you doing this. it's really a breathe of fresh air and I'm glad we both hate the vegas heat. unpleasant.
I very much appriciate the time and effort you put into your content and look forward to more.
earned a SUB from me fam. many cheers seeya around.
magic_nerd2017 out...
Two no shows!? Wow... Funny time lapse clip though.. 😂 😂 great vids
Feels like the chess tournaments I've gone to. Hours of waiting for a game.
Congrats on making day two - good luck!! :D Also, did you know that the Nissa cosplayer was in the Bolas costume that was creeping on you?
I just wish the Luxor could have held GP Vegas. I mean a tournament for Amonkhet at the Luxor would have been so much flavor.
Leaving the lens cap in your room was a mistake? Was it...a smarter mistake?
catastrofucked... going into high rotation, thank you
How did Graham make day 2 when he said he didn't almost seconds before in the vlog? I'm confused but WOO DAY 2!
9:56 In a similar note to Adam’s story I beat someone on turn 4 in this main event in game 1, & he let me be on the play in game 2?!
lucky invocation!
@Graham Stark, you could film the booths and talk to some of the pros etc if you want to fill out the dead film time?
Idk Graham. I thought that slow-mo shot was pretty glamorous. And that last bit actually scared me.
I know the music is probably fairly used under creative commons, but can we still get links to it? Might be nice to have some fun ambient music while coding or gaming or something.
+Contiguouskittycat I always mean to link and frequently forget. Will add the link later today!
15:20 ... omg. I need that jacket. IS that on the CFB site?
CAGE MAGIC
I hope Graham kept that Yugioh card frame card, it’s probably worth over $100 now. :)
10:27 I’m not too ashamed to wear the shirt as a sleep shirt. :) I still have the water bottle also.
Were you there in time for the NHL Awards/Expansion Draft?
I would love to go to a go but I would have no idea where to go or what to do. How do you register?
was Alex playing commander? And queen marchesa none the less :o
next time you are in vegas go to walgreens a whole gallon of water is $4. there is one by Ballies and it saved me a ton of money at Defcon last year.
so now that channel fireball had taken it's hold, the sealed pools are registered and listed?
Two of my friends are there and I want to find them in the crowds
Yay day 2! I don't know what this means because I've never played serious magic, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
HighHammerNoob No problem, day 1 is when everyone who paid the tournament entry fee participate. If you are good enough, you get to participate in day 2 events. Otherwise, there are still other events going on, but your tournament is officially over. ^_^
like commander games or drafting?
HighHammerNoob Oh yeah, lots to do. The bigger the Grand Prix, the best are your chances to play other formats. But draft and Commander are the norm.
Neat! That does sound fun. Sadly I live to far from having any kind of store to play at or the like.
HighHammerNoob Oh that's too bad, Magic is a great game! Same here, about 30 mins car ride from nearest Card Shop. Always wanted to start my own... who knows, maybe one day... ;-)
best part was the resolution of Tymna the Weaver
Kind of sad that the windmill slam filler was not recorded :(
While I don't actually play Magic, I know I always have a knack of somehow pulling byes. (The chance increasing the further I had to travel for the event.) Which sucks, due to living in the middle of nowhere I don't get to actually play games in the flesh that often. Don't care about "winning" or "making the cut", let me play the dang game.
Advice on a first GP?
11:17 hey look, it's @wizardsmagic_br ^_^
Do they give you sleeves???
1:08 Definitely a chess tournament. Vegas is an odd place to hold one though.
the tibalt guy goes to one of my lgss
should've said that was a clip of what it felt like ;)
My main concern, did your round one opponent get back his force of will?
CLIFF bars are the best! #noadd
THE GUY AT 5:47 IS FROM MY LGS LMAOOOOO
Lol, I once went 4-5 in a 9 round event, having only won 4 GAMES of magic. 2 opponents didn't show up, one had to drop and conceded the match, and I won round 8.
He said "Magic but."
I liked it because of JDUBS.
The gatorades at the shop in the lobby were 3$
you go do work
can you time travel and give as the next vlog pleas?
Arie Gelfand no i cant
That totally sucks for that round 1 opponent! Oh man! What kind of dick steals a sealed deck! At least wait until the event is over!
10:40 found Waldo
Amusing to watch...your hair though!? Unruly :D
+Richard_Ermen it does what it do
"Catastrofucked'
Seriously though, more Friday Nights!!!
cant stand a thief
lost round 1 is way more worse than lost any other rounds
Shi Jian You're telling me bro :P
