I'm not sure why I keep coming back to watch these old vlogs, but i've watched each one at least 3 times now at this point. They are just very entertaining and soothing for some reason.
You know every once in a while I forget that we have an accent in western Canada, then I hear Graham in the beginning of this video and I'm like, whoa there it is. Also I kinda lost track of LLR with the decline of the Escapist and just time, and now I'm checking it out again and its like finding out what happened to people you went to school with. Graham and Kathleen got married and have a kid! Crazy. I'm really happy you guys are still killing it and finding success.
This makes me appreciate all of the effort the crew puts into making the booths at cons like PAX possible. I was admittedly very happy that the Scrub MTG shirt was back in print and it was great to talk with folks at the booth... but wow, tons of work y'all do so dorks like me can interact with you. Props and many thanks to the whole LRR crew for well everything you do. :)
Yes, let us appreciate them all. All for their hard work everyday, to bring us content that occupy us daily and to take time out of their lives to meet with everybody. I appreciate LoadingReadyRun
I used to go to PAX West every year, back when it was just "PAX." I was there the first year they moved from the Eastside to Seattle. But from about 2012 on, tickets will sell out in like 3 minutes from going on sale. I've never been able to attend since. =[ One of these years I'll break down and buy scalped tickets, and come see you guys! I hope you have a blast this weekend. Get yer Zzzs and protect that voice, Graham! Never good to be losing your voice before PAX even starts.
I'm exciited to hear that LRR may have a presence at PAX Unplugged this year. I'm love board games and MTG and now we have a major con right here in Philly celebrating it!
Fun Story: when rolling up the pile of show banners during teardown, I ran into y'all's merch menu. apparently it managed to find it's way into the wrong pile 'cause when I called over one of the folks running the area they looked at it and went "Let me go check on something" and then disappeared with it.
*+Graham Stark - Suggestion:* As part of your convention kit, you should see about adding a dolly, hand cart, or wagon. This way, if convention event staff mess up the delivery of your stuff again (because we know it's going to happen at future events, and not just Pax West), you'll have an easier time moving things. BTW, if you get a wagon, it can serve double duty as a Penelope Hauler. Just saying.
it's super neat to see my city through someone else's eyes. I walk past the "Pencil Building" every day, and it's just kind of faded into the background, but YEAH! it is kind of weird.
Today I learned that NA (or maybe the entire anglo-sphere) has strange naming conventions for beds. Im used to just call them by their measurements. So had to google "queen" and it looks to be about 152 cm. The more you know! :)
Newer hotels around the convention center are really really strange. I think they used to be apartments or office space because they're very not hotel-shaped and you get stuff like those narrow beds or oddly shaped showers because of it.
Are..are you guys going to have a table at unplugged?! Omg please 🤓. It would be my first chance to see you I'd be soo happy/excited/terrified. Omg yay!
I know I'm years late, but I actually went to that hotel the year previous (remembered it just from the narrow beds). Played a lot of Breath of the Wild because it had just come out.
So, I was wondering -- If PAX East is in Boston, and West is in Seattle, and South is in San Antonio, where would we have to put PAX North to complete the compass rose? Somewhere in Nunavut?
The thing about the copper cups is that some bartender a while back had a bunch of extra copper cups, liked Moscow Mules, and wanted money. There’s no reason for them. (According to my bartending teacher. I wasn’t there.)
3:03: Those are almost certainly US double (54" wide) beds. If you want a room with two queens, you have to expressly search for and reserve it. 4:11: That mini-bar fridge would piss me off, especially if I was staying there for multiple days. There's no room for my own stuff.
Since when is a “Queen” a standard bed for a single person? (asked the person who has been sleeping in their own personal queen sized bed since they were 14)
Why do I have a feeling if Beej does accomplish #QUINT that somewhere down the line he'll receive some sort Quint Badge? LOL I just hope this isn't the muse the creator needed to make it. Haha

5 paxes is definitely "the pentapax."
I'm not sure how deprecated it is, but I propose "Penty Arcade."
Followed by the "Penny Arcade Hexpo" if there's ever a Eurasian PAX?
And if you get sick at all five, you have pentapaxpox

It helps when it's not the same week as Desert Bus, or the week immediately before or after it.
Ben: Thought there would be more fanfare
Me: Who do you think you are, Matt from Roosterteeth?
As a Seattle native I also cannot look comfortably at that building. It will destroy us all.
It is the Dark Obelisk that foretells the End Times.

I assume either Beej becomes patient zero of SuperPaxPox or he might develop superpowers from it. Good luck, Beej!
Maybe Beej's been the super carrier all along of the PaxPox, and we didn't know it. This could be part of his masterplan to take over the world.
Well he is playing Pandemic Legacy.
Pentapox?
Petition for them to name the next disease they eradicate in Pandemic Legacy the "Pentapox". hahaha
He's the source of the antibody!

As the only vlog channel I watch, there's just something here that makes me not bored as hell! Keep it up G, it's great!
Oh hell yes! Love these, keep up the great work, you’re awesome graham!

You're doing the Lord's work

I love your boat sounds +10 points for realism.

Yes! Please LRR come to Unplugged!
Norwegian giggle! «I have that water on tap here 🙈😂»
IT'S HEREEEEEE
Man I was wondering where the West logs are! I hope everyone had a good weekend.
I know I'm years late, but I actually went to that hotel the year previous (remembered it just from the narrow beds). Played a lot of Breath of the Wild because it had just come out.
So, I was wondering -- If PAX East is in Boston, and West is in Seattle, and South is in San Antonio, where would we have to put PAX North to complete the compass rose? Somewhere in Nunavut?
Same place as Desert Bus South, obviously.
I would probably put it Winnipeg, so that it's fairly north, but also has that central aspect to it.
Toronto, I bet!
Minneapolis? :)
And in the Band Land, the Pax Enforcer's closing up
Counting badges, trying not to say
"I hate Winnepeg."
Seriously, Finlandia is a great vodka. I LOVES ME SOME OF IT!
Coming from Bob's video, and I want to hear more about that panel with him, Graham, and Yahtzee.
The thing about the copper cups is that some bartender a while back had a bunch of extra copper cups, liked Moscow Mules, and wanted money. There’s no reason for them. (According to my bartending teacher. I wasn’t there.)
Yes! Beej!!! Come to PAX Australia!!
I rode the clipper everyday 2 times a day for 6 months when were in the yards in Seattle and never caught a stick.
Voss water is even expensive here in Norway. It's regular tap water from Voss, west in Norway with the fjords and such. Some of us get fooled by it.
I'm not fooled by it, it's just better than the majority of bottled water out there [which I rarely buy]. That and I like the bottle shape.
yay Liz!
2:30 Coming soon: W E S T R E T C H Y O U
I feel very threatened.
Also Liz works for Capcom now? But what about the Hashtag WotC Staff?
Yay, more G-Vlog! :D
3:03: Those are almost certainly US double (54" wide) beds. If you want a room with two queens, you have to expressly search for and reserve it.
4:11: That mini-bar fridge would piss me off, especially if I was staying there for multiple days. There's no room for my own stuff.
oh boy! I love glog.
"Five fingers deep." And with that....
Rainier Tower too freaky? Go walk down the Dewey decimal spiral at the library for soothing solid-color comfort.
WoO! Chipotle, E-coli capital of the franchise world. Good luck with the salad-roulette, my dude.
9:40 That's weird. At East when we were doing setup for our booth, we did some vlogging all around the place and none of the enforcers cared :/
Different conventional centre.
wasn't the enforcers who got mad. From what Graham said, it was Staff from that Convention Centre.
Pax west 2018 day zero is a more correct title hopefully
PAX blog yessss!!
G dollar sign is back. Woot woot
2:10 I'm now imagining Ocean Boat for Hope
QUINT! QUINT! QUINT! QUINT! QUINT!
Damnit Liz is looking healthy. Good for her.
more please unless you couldn't which is out of your control
Very good video. Crackling in the music was annoying though...
Liz
Did you take the clipper from Vancouver to Seattle? I've done that a few times it's super fun.
Oi! Don't dis Finlandia. It's a real thing.
Voss is so insanely expensive everywhere.
No feet?!
Please, PLEASE bring Beej down for PAX Aus!!
That shop window that said We Stretch You coming soon, is that an actual business people go to, to get stretched like Gumby or Stretch Armstrong?
seeweda its a yoga studio. Their branding is weird
I ... ... ... ... Hate narrow beds
... I sleap on a Cal King
Since when is a “Queen” a standard bed for a single person? (asked the person who has been sleeping in their own personal queen sized bed since they were 14)
Queens are standard double-occupancy beds in most hotels
Could you have fit two queens in that room?
Those are rookie bed sizes! King all the waaayy!
Nah! Upholster the whole floor in two feet of memory foam.
Guess it may vary regionally and hotel type but 'full' size beds at least use to be super common when two beds were present in much of the US.
Why do I have a feeling if Beej does accomplish #QUINT that somewhere down the line he'll receive some sort Quint Badge? LOL
I just hope this isn't the muse the creator needed to make it. Haha
Hey Graham is there gonna be a part 2 of pax?
Suomi mainittu! Torille!!!
Suomi mainittu
That ending was kind of abrupt?
Are you going to gp Milwaukee
Red Labial, the Quint-Essential Get off-brand drink
Moscow Mules are much better in Copper Cups... But I would not pay 15 bucks for that privilege.
Only evil people refrigerate whiskey and/or scotch.
Oh shit it’s my first “first”
(in suit sad comment that woes meant to be funny ) ;þ
