LoadingReadyRun Parodies Fox News Smear of Mass Effect

January 29, 2008 -
When last mentioned on GamePolitics, Canadian comedy troupe LoadingReadyRun was busy raising money for the Child's Play charity via their Desert Bus gaming marathon.

Now the LLR crew has come up with a great send-up of last week's nuking of Mass Effect by Fox News:

LOL! GO GAMERS GO!

Finally got to see it - perfect send-up.

And to the Brits and Canucks - I'll put anything Richard Pryor did against your best stuff, and only the Flying Circus would top it.

Just out of curiosity, if anyone knows this group, do any of the members go by the name "Hotbranch!"?

Well that was funny though
"What's your opinion on mass effect now?"
"I think the blue chick was hot, I'd hit that."

Oh and there are gods of comedy in Canda U.S. and U.K.

Canada has these guys
U.S. has Stephen Colbert, the Daily Show and George Carlin.
U.K. has Monty Python

@Father Time

Python, Fawlty Towers, Black Books, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses and most comedy of the 70s. Though Canada gave us Colin Mochrie (Whose Line) who I am infintely thankful for

"Some of the studies show that anyone expose to this game turns into violent sodomites"

IF it wasnt so true it would be perfect :D

This is pretty funny. But there are two sex scenes in Mass Effect. Just saying.

Countdown until some idiots miss-quote this video as pure fact...

5... 4... 3...

Just watch, someone's dumb enough to do it. =P

Nice.

"My daughter played that game, and now she's six months pregnant!"

"But the game's been only out three months..."

I almost see glimpses of JT from the guy with the bow tie.

I'd hit that too, professor. I'd hit that too....

@ Luke

Nope, there are at least 3 "love options": Liara, Ashley and Kaiden. So depending on whether your male or female that’s 4 possible scenarios.

Huh, just noticed. Shouldn't that be LRR?

@chard

I myself have never visited England and haven't actively searched for British Humor(tm), so out of all those mentioned I've only heard of Fawlty Towers, although I've never actually seen it.

What a hypocrite! That man has THREE, PS3's.

MUDKIPS

?_?

Let's see if you can even see that.

HO SHI-

A SITE THAT LETS YOU SEE ?_?

@ConstantNeophyte

Actually, there's six.

I finally got to watch the video. I must say that I found it hilarious.

I loved all the little running news items at the bottom.

I love this. I'm a politico and a gamer, so when I see non-politicos getting pissed off this much about Faux News, it validates that I'm not just some liberal whackjob; I'm a liberal whackjob who can point out idiotic fake reporting when I see it.

[...] [Via Gamepolitics] [...]

The first half was funny until it got hammy.

@Sean

Okay...I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I agree that it's not him now but he still sounds almost exactly like him. And I know what Gus looks like and this guy isn't incredibly far off. *sigh* Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I'm just saying I think it was an honest mistake. Whatever, no big deal.

the funniest parts are the book titles 'Stop it Put that Down' HAha

@SaltyWounds

"And I know what Gus looks like and this guy isn’t incredibly far off."

Gus isn't white

I like the intro where the reporter is talking about how you can have full on hardcore pornsex with freaky alien chicks and can change bust size firmness of ass and how it taste when you nibble on an earlobe

and how the experts daughter played five minutes and now shes six months pregnant
uh..the games only been out for three M(cut off)

Hahaha, pretty funny. Well done, kudos.

First I laughed and then I cried because this is pretty much what happens whenever we get a video game expert on a news show. Always pushed to the side not being allowed to say what is needed to be said.

I suppose technically there are 6 possible sex encounters in Mass Effect, two of which have a lesbian angle to them. But you can experience at most 2 of them in any playthrough of the game: one with the Consort, and the other one with either Liara, or with Ashley (if you are playing a male Shepard) or with Kaidan (if you are playing a female Shepard).

In all cases, the sex scenes are perhaps 30 seconds long and not particularly racy. There is no frontal nudity or anything like that, just a few seconds of side-view skin. Its much tamer than some of the stuff you see on prime-time network TV. Yahtzee said it best: "it will hardly make your Mass Erect".

I know that this comment isn't as constructive as I'd like it to be, but I still gotta say:

LoadingReadyRun FTW!

MechaTama31I mean, of the groups being bullied here, which of the two would you refer to collectively as "nerds"?10/19/2014 - 11:30pm
MechaTama31But that's the thing, it doesn't sound to me like he is advocating bullying, it sounds like he is accusing the SJWs of bullying the "nerds", who I can only assume refers to the GGers.10/19/2014 - 11:21pm
Andrew EisenInteresting read. Unfortunately, too vague to form an opinion on but at least now I know what faefrost was talking about in James' editorial.10/19/2014 - 10:39pm
Neo_DrKefkaBreaking GameJournoPros organized a blacklist of former Destructoid writer Allistar Pinsof for investigating fraud in IndieGoGo campaign http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2014/10/gamergate-destructoid-corruption-and-ruined-careers/10/19/2014 - 8:57pm
Neo_DrKefkaOnly good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm
Neo_DrKefkaEven after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
Neo_DrKefkaWhich #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
Neo_DrKefkaI believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm
MechaTama31Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
MechaTama31If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
MechaTama31I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm
Andrew EisenI have it. The problem, so far as I can tell, is neither of them allow me to overlay my webcam feed or text links to my Extra-Life fundraising page.10/19/2014 - 4:08pm
quiknkoldand yes, its free10/19/2014 - 4:05pm

Andrew EisenThe former.10/19/2014 - 4:00pm
quiknkoldwas it StreamEez, or the StreamEez feature in Hauppauge Capture? cause I know Capture has alot more support from the devs.10/19/2014 - 3:54pm
Andrew EisenI actually tried StreamEez last week. Flat out didn't work.10/19/2014 - 3:53pm
quiknkoldI use the Hauppauge Capture software's StreamEez. Arcsoft showbiz for recording. I just streamed a few hours of Persona 4 Golden with zero problem using the program. Xsplit is finniky when it comes to Hauppauge10/19/2014 - 3:40pm
Andrew EisenTrying to capture console games and broadcast with Open Broadcaster System because I've had technical difficulties using XSplit 3 weeks in a row.10/19/2014 - 3:37pm
