LoadingReadyLIVE flythrough
nooDy093 asks: I really like everything about the 'moonbase fly-over' at the beginning for LoadingReadyLive and it's so good (correct me if I'm wrong) you never changed that formula since episode 1 and I find that particularly impressive. What was the process behind coming up with that particular bit? Did you ever consider other ways to start the show (not including the addition of cH)?
- Graham: We were going to stop doing the LRRCast and there was a discussion we were talking about replacing it with a live thing. Everyone other than me was on the same page that it was just going to be a live podcast. For whatever reason I had completely misinterpreted the discussion as a variety show. So I went away to think about what it should look like. THen we have a meeting and I said "I think it would look like this" and laid out the basic structure that we started with for Live. I don't remember who's idea it was to do the flythrough, but I know I definitely like the idea of having signs around the moonbase for the different segments of the show.
Expectations, surprise, sadness, joy and dreams
Aldunis asks: Did any of you ever expect LRR to become what it is today? What has surprised you the most, saddened you the most, and brought you the most joy on this journey? What are your wildest dreams for LRR moving forward?
- Alex: Joy: Road Quest.
- Graham: Expected: No. Saddened: Not getting in on the ground floor of YouTube. Dreams: Larger audience so we can pay the people who work here more so they can work here more.
- Adam: Expected: No. Joy: Having the opportunity to work with everyone.
Favorite Road Quest moment
