Seeing this reminds me of the story that Burnie has about crushing the controller in his hands becuase he couldn't get a shot right in RvB.
Not just breaking a controller, an original Xbox DUKE controller.
BURNIE SMASH
I'd be frothing at the mouth if someone ruined hours of my work by hitting a stupid switch. Like, I'd start convulsing, making weird animalistic hisses, fling my poop at the wall, rip off my clothes and jump out of the nearest window to join a pack of raccoons to start my life as King of the Mole People because I wouldn't have the energy to start all over again...
So yeah, bad switch is bad
I'd do that the first time it happened, the second time i'd smash my head against the wall until i died for being stupid enough to not do something to keep that switch from being hit. Rip it out of the wall. Tape it to the On position. Draw in the blood of the guy who hit the switch the first time a diagram of what i did to him, with the caption "DO NOT HIT THE SWITCH THAT IS DRENCHED IN BLOOD OR YOU WILL BE NEXT!"
why would the mole people accept a raccoon pack member as their king?
Because they're a very accepting community... Much like RoosterTeeth... Pay me for advertising!
I feel like Burnie would be terrifying when he's angry...
I wish they added the part right after that where burnie said "mabye i should go help them set back up? ...Nah"
So does the switch still turn off all of the machinima machines or did they have it removed?
They've since moved office so that switch is long gone now :)
BahamutendGS I think its in the current office. I assume at this point they have done SOMETHING but knowing roosterteeth there is no guarantee
georgeanna Burnie clearly said the congress office at the beginning not stage 5
Tegan is right. podcast 330 was a while ago. they have since switched offices. AH have switched twice since that time and machinima production has its own large section instead of being tucked in a room with a killswitch outside.
you can buy a pack of these for like $3 at the hardware store
if I ever got a chance to tour their office I would have to touch the switch. NOT FLIP IT. i'm not that much of an ass, but to just touch it to see if its possible. to see if they would really
A) point out which one it was
B) allow me near it and
C) allow me to approach it (possible while maniacally laughing if I feel like testing my luck)
Burnie and his sandwich. lol
"Burnie mad! Burnie kill whoever turns switch off!!"
So why hasn't anyone taped up that light switch and/or put a sign telling people not to flip it?
Might I recommend going to a parts store? There is a cheap tool that literally can be placed over a light switch that can be used to keep it on. Hell, there is even a hole that lets you put a lock on it to make sure no one messes with it.
Why bother spending extra $$ when you can just use a piece of masking tape as a label for the Switch O'Machinima Death? Of course, removing the switch(but not the box) and replacing it with a small plastic plate could also work(like the circle that comes with pizza).
Or, OOORRRR, save the money and tape the shit out of the switch to always keep it on and no one ever turns it off.
I'm with Gus; WHY IN THE FUCK is there even a switch for that??!
