Timeline of the LRRd
The Timeline of the LRRd is an attempt to catalogue the events (Past, present, and future) in the LRRverse, wherein most of the LRR videos occur. Much of it was created by forum member Lyinginbedmon but others have enjoyed input into the project, such as forumites Master Gunner and Dutch Guy.
The Timeline was created in response to discussion in the August 23rd 2008 LRRcast regarding a coherent, self-contained, timeline that integrated all of the "Us playing us" videos with the addition of time travel via the Time Helmet. The original version largely expanded from A Little TOO Human to document the events of the Bear Wars continuity and the ensuing time travel to prevent/mediate its effects, but has since grown to incorporate virtually every "Us playing us" video and numerous others, from High Noon to The Professor's Funhouse.
A side project that evolved from the Timeline is Phail Physics, which were created from several contributors discussing the properties of Phail in the same forum thread, in order to narrow down what videos could have been caused by it and what other impacts Paul's Phailinite Ring could have had in the history of LRR.
The Timeline exists shakily in canon LRR lore, as it is based largely on fan extrapolation and video events. As more information is released it is incorporated and revised to be as accurate as possible, and should be considered "quasi-canon".
Official response from the crew regarding the Timeline is little, but Graham has commented repeatedly in the forum thread to state his enjoyment of the discussions, and when questioned directly via the AskLRR of the October 4th 2008 LRRcast:
- James: "I think it's pretty hilarious."
- Paul: "Pretty cool."
Jer has stated he considers the Timeline "Epic" early in the project's development.
