Synopsis
At a panel at Kei Kon, Paul screens a video about the LRR crew saving the internet from Arthur B Borington (Jer), the creator of the world's most boring website. Returning from the panel, James leaves with Adam to camp outside the mall for Diablo III and Starcraft 2, even though there is no release date for either. Graham, Paul and Kathleen rent some anime, and Geoff overhears where they will be shooting. At the shoot, a Warriors of Darkness video, Matt suggests that LoadingReadyRun put their videos up on YouTube as a way to get more views, but Graham is utterly disgusted at the idea. Unbeknownst to them Geoff is filming their shoot. Morgan and Bill, not surprisingly, forget to go to the shoot but run into Adam and James at the mall. Rather than dissuade them, they question the logistics of camping out for an indeterminate, very long time.
Matt has found out that someone has been filming the crew and posting it on YouTube. Distressingly these videos have been getting more views than LRR videos have. Deciding that Youtube could get them more views but also that LoadingReadyRun is too smart for the internet, Graham swallows his pride and the crew decides to make a series of fake viral videos. The crew heads to the mall to enlist their missing crew member. Much to Adam's chagrin, James decides that LRR is more important than Aiur.
