Speaking as a longtime resident of a city-port that fires off a 'noonday gun', I feel this is a very valid justification. (We have not seen a pirate since Bartholomew Roberts almost three hundred years ago)
No no no. Firing cannons means you can hold a fight, and by not firing cannons, pirates from there ships just might think you guys are bluffing or they may be painted cannons or fake cannons.
Can I just say I was really scared that these would stop after GP Vegas but the fact that there continuing makes me extremely happy. Keep up the good work. 😀👍🏻
Graham, I just started watching these and I have to say I am in love, and I hate vlogs. They feel personal and intimate, they make me, as a viewer thousands of miles away, feel like I'm spending time with you. You transport me to wherever and whenever you are. Don't even get me started on the music. Please please please do not stop.
I've played against Graham and that deck! WAAAY back at the first Escapist Expo in North Carolina, I have never been so happy to get so thoroughly stomped in a game of magic! I can speak from first hand experience when I say this: Graham Stark is EVEN MORE awesome in real life than he is on the internet. Thanks man! Good Times!
Those cannons were probably for George Vancouver's birthday. Because the island is named after him, and his birthday is the 22nd of June 1757, making it 260 years yesterday.
That's probably it.. Or they were using that as an excuse to practise for the Canada 150 Canada Day celebrations. I know here in Regina, Sask, they fire a full 21 gun salute over the lake here every Canada Day.
Nice to see you keep going strong with the vlogging. Just the right thing after 11 hours of work. Thank you, I apreciate it so much you wonderful canadian.
I just want to be friends with Serge. He just seems like such a genuinely nice and upbeat force that I can't help but enjoy any content with him in it. Also he's killing it in that hat.
Hey ! I was in Victoria last week Monday to Wednesday (For job interview, didn't get it though). I wanted to meet Nielson but didn't see him on all 3 days D: I also looked through the entirety of the dollar rare box along with the $2 rares. Picked up a bunch of stuff. I also bought 3 boosters of MM2017 to support the store. Got a goyf, cavern of soul, and basilisk collar. THANKS DUDES !
I slam dunk closed this tab the second Graham mentioned there was a new Going To video, watched it, then bought the book with a stalwart purpose the likes of which I haven't experienced in my life; But now you get two views on this wonderful vlog as an apology!
Good work. While I was amused by the earlier guesses in the comments, this is the correct answer. 21-gun salute for the Lieutenant Governor (the Queen's representative) upon the opening of the new session at the legislature. I'm always amused by how many local friends are puzzled by this every year. To be fair, most people don't care about when the legislature is in session, and you can't hear the howitzers outside of a few block radius downtown.
I know that feel with Commander. I disassembled my commander deck nearly 2 years ago to try and build a canadian highlander deck. There's been a lot of really cool stuff introduced to the game since then and it would probably be really fun.
the funny thinng is that every time g vlogs when walking from the new location to the shops they walk past the old moonbase it is the white building with the big 1030 on the front and the building site is still there next to it
Since I have been sporting this same haircut as Kathleen for a while now, I can verify this style is called the Kathleen as both our names are Kathleen.
I came into this video wondering if he misspelt "cannons" or if the city of Victoria has a hidden narrative with competing interpretations of history. *insert jab about the recognition and treatment of First Nations people in Canada*
So, according to the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, the day of filming marked the 195th anniversary of the abolition of Feudalism in British North America, Which may have been worthy of commemoration by cannons.
To be honest, I didn't hear Graham properly the first time, and I thought he said "Sisig Tandoor". So I was like, Filipino and Indian food? Sign me the eff up!
Hi Graham! Thanks for making these, love watching your days. A quick question though: What’s your process for searching for cc licensed music for the vlog? you seem to have a good variety and not just the same stuff everybody else is using.
That shirt is the best thing I've ever seen. please tell me where you got it so I can look at how expensive it is to ship to australia,, feel sad, sigh, and then close the tab. I know what I'm in for, but it must be done.
Great vlog, as usual! I remember seeing this deck tech when you were on CommandZone. Any chance we can get an updated deck list (if it won't already be provided as part of the afk stream)?
Great Vlog as usual. Question, I'm guessing the title typo is intentionally there to get around the RUclips ''silencing'' that happened to one of the Vegas Vlogs?
The end of GP day 6 and the end of today's vlog had you in what appears to be different surroundings. Did you and the family move (from an apartment to a house)?
I've never (knowingly) lived somewhere with an all you can eat Indian buffet. I didn't know until today it was a thing, and now I am sad. In my area buffets only come in Chinese, American, cheap pizza, and one low-end-mediocre Mexican place.
I know those feels; my town has HAD an Indian buffet, but the restaurant had a fire last year and they're still getting the dinning room renovated; they're open for take-out, but we still have to champ at the bit for their dine in buffet... (hopefully it shouldn't be long now, since they've removed the dumpster that was sitting on the street right in front of the restaurant. *hope-hope* )
Hey Graham, I've currently made a set of Magic cards based on literature and video games on a card making site, and I was wondering if maybe I could somehow send you some pictures of the cards and see what you and the rest of the LRR crew think of each of them? I was just curious
Semantic hair-splitting; for someone within earshot, but not within easy eyeshot of the guns, the terminology is sufficient to describe the surprising incidence of high-calibre gunfire.
"You haven't mix a list where you can get the original French for Dobell" Watching this with subtitles is kinda wonderful. It does pretty well until you hit the Magic talk (or whenever Serge speaks for some reason), and then it's just glorious nonsense.
![EXTREME WEATHER WARNING [GP Vegas Day 4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GsSHNOGNNW8/mqdefault.jpg)
you're very good at vlogging (unsurprisingly).
thanks for the hard work.
Thanks Sam!
Graham Stark hey i live in Campbell River
Not firing cannons is how you get pirates. Do you want to get pirates?
Speaking as a longtime resident of a city-port that fires off a 'noonday gun', I feel this is a very valid justification. (We have not seen a pirate since Bartholomew Roberts almost three hundred years ago)
No no no. Firing cannons means you can hold a fight, and by not firing cannons, pirates from there ships just might think you guys are bluffing or they may be painted cannons or fake cannons.
I love Surge. One of my favorite LRR crew member and then Alex too. Best Gvlog ever.
"Texan Reverend bought us a whole bunch of carbs." Due to the chat that was onscreen just prior my first internal comment to that was "MAGICCARBs"
Can I just say I was really scared that these would stop after GP Vegas but the fact that there continuing makes me extremely happy. Keep up the good work. 😀👍🏻
I really enjoy watching your videos. "Friday Nights" was the first Magic-related video series I watched on here, and I've loved it ever since
Graham, I just started watching these and I have to say I am in love, and I hate vlogs. They feel personal and intimate, they make me, as a viewer thousands of miles away, feel like I'm spending time with you. You transport me to wherever and whenever you are. Don't even get me started on the music. Please please please do not stop.
It's so cool seeing someone walking around the town I live in! Going to have to check out that coffee shop, now!!!
A few years ago the symphony did the 1812 overture for Symphony Splash and they used those cannons
Graham, I'm enjoying these immensely. Thanks for the hard work on your vlog.

so much you wonderful canadian.
"My hair is my head suit, and I want it to look really nice" is a wonderful quote.
I adore Serge's coffee enthusiasm. I'm the same way about beer, and I hope I come off as genuine as he does.
You're right Graham. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to find people who have time for that. :)
Such as MEEEEEEEE.
pls hire.
I just want to be friends with Serge. He just seems like such a genuinely nice and upbeat force that I can't help but enjoy any content with him in it. Also he's killing it in that hat.

Graham your vlogs are the best! I keep rewatching your trip to Japan vlog as i plan my own trip!
How do you only have 8K, you deserve so much more, keep up the good work man 😊
Graham, stay awesome. Just...stay awesome.
Really enjoying these vlogs. I hope you continue to make them.

Found out what the Cannons were for. They were marking the opening of a new session of the BC Legislative Assembly.
Good work. While I was amused by the earlier guesses in the comments, this is the correct answer. 21-gun salute for the Lieutenant Governor (the Queen's representative) upon the opening of the new session at the legislature.

i am watching the lrrmtg replay on twitch as you uploaded this. so i just look over on screen 2 and i see past future you as past past you talks
glad to see you guys talk about commander and not constantly crap on it
So weird seeing places I was just at last week on my vacation, makes me miss Victoria a lot.
I love Serge's face when Graham asks him what to get.
I knew there'd be cannons because of the title, but that first shot still freaked me out a little...
the funny thinng is that every time g vlogs when walking from the new location to the shops they walk past the old moonbase it is the white building with the big 1030 on the front and the building site is still there next to it
Glad to see me playing Lignify in my Doran Commander deck is Graham approved!
OMG BARON SENGIR now that brings back some memories including the SENGIR family
Since I have been sporting this same haircut as Kathleen for a while now, I can verify this style is called the Kathleen as both our names are Kathleen.
I came into this video wondering if he misspelt "cannons" or if the city of Victoria has a hidden narrative with competing interpretations of history. *insert jab about the recognition and treatment of First Nations people in Canada*
Ooh, Victoria seems like a nice place to spend vacations in. I'am jelly(a little bit).
Hyped for that commander game now.
Canons? Not cannons, but like...
So there's the Victoria Prime canon, the Victoria extended universe, and then the movie adaptation continuity?
Commodore Hustle canon, Friday Nights canon, Crapshot canon... :)
So, according to the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, the day of filming marked the 195th anniversary of the abolition of Feudalism in British North America, Which may have been worthy of commemoration by cannons.
The cannons were for the Throne Speech and the opening of the Legislature.
So...like Jay Blanc said, to ward off pirates? ;)
Lol the RUclips ad before this was to visit Las Vegas 😂
I was hoping to save "Time for Sushi" until the next Desert Bus, but I guess it'd be a tall order for none of the crew to see it before hand.
Could we get like a special deck tech for your treefolk CMDR deck?
Bailey Holmes I agree to that whole heartedly
I was just telling my friend today how bad ass Timber Protector is. Totally bad ass.
1:01 It's important to touch your decks once in a while, to check that there are no Bump in the Nights
Glad to see the tangle/ the fact I'm not the only one who plays fog effects
I love that shirt! It's amazing!
Hooray for Treefolk! My favorite deck!
lovely Gvlog as always! :D
Saturday, Saturday,Saturday, Graham will sell you a set but you will only need the edge.
Heading down for any of the Canada Day festivities Graham? I'll be posted up at the beer gardens ;)
So pre-prerelease on Canada Day?
Sizzling Tandoor sounds like the name of a card from Kaladesh block. Like a street cook with pyromancy powers who joins the Renegades.
4:07 .. It's a good thing I'm having curry for dinner, y'all making me super hungry here >D.
To be honest, I didn't hear Graham properly the first time, and I thought he said "Sisig Tandoor". So I was like, Filipino and Indian food? Sign me the eff up!
Kathleen's hair is really nice
Hi Graham! Thanks for making these, love watching your days. A quick question though: What’s your process for searching for cc licensed music for the vlog? you seem to have a good variety and not just the same stuff everybody else is using.
+martin pittenauer SoundCloud allows you to search by "for commercial use", and maybe 30% of those results are downloadable. It takes a while 😐
Texan Reverend keeps throwing food at you, lol
Well now you know your ready for the robot uprising of 2021.
Love the vlogs! It would be cool if you subtitled the mumbley parts like around 2:10-2:22
That shirt is the best thing I've ever seen. please tell me where you got it so I can look at how expensive it is to ship to australia,, feel sad, sigh, and then close the tab.
I know what I'm in for, but it must be done.
Serge is like a pure drop of Lollipop Sunshine Delight. Does have have a Twitch channel by chance, like some of the others do?
Yes, yes he does.
Great vlog, as usual! I remember seeing this deck tech when you were on CommandZone. Any chance we can get an updated deck list (if it won't already be provided as part of the afk stream)?
hehe I was on the Gvlog on Twitch!!
Alex is right; that shirt IS an abomination.
I love Gvlogs so much
That'd be so cool to play one game of mtg at that card shop. It's almost legendary imho.
Great Vlog as usual. Question, I'm guessing the title typo is intentionally there to get around the RUclips ''silencing'' that happened to one of the Vegas Vlogs?
EmpireChief what silencing?
Your vlogs are great!
Though now I want a coconut iced latte...
6:57 Someone escaped the Château d'If.
I would like to purchase the Dakimakura for Alex
definitely got jealous when you scooped up that tikka masala...indian food is bomb... just sayin....
The end of GP day 6 and the end of today's vlog had you in what appears to be different surroundings. Did you and the family move (from an apartment to a house)?
Looks like Portland with all of the housing being built.
Seeing Nelson from the futureeeeee
Where can I get a Serge? I want one! Genuine enthusiasm is a rare vitue these days.
I like surge. I'm like surge when people ask me for suggestions. mannerisms and all.
I had pegged Victoria as more of a Nikon city.
JagannathMxO FUCK... Why have you done this to my virgin eyes...
I visited Victoria two years ago (even drafted at YJ), but that pit doesn't look like it has changed at all up to this point. Must be a union job.
Well thanks, now I want Indian food. Keep up the great work!
I've never (knowingly) lived somewhere with an all you can eat Indian buffet. I didn't know until today it was a thing, and now I am sad.
In my area buffets only come in Chinese, American, cheap pizza, and one low-end-mediocre Mexican place.
I know those feels; my town has HAD an Indian buffet, but the restaurant had a fire last year and they're still getting the dinning room renovated; they're open for take-out, but we still have to champ at the bit for their dine in buffet... (hopefully it shouldn't be long now, since they've removed the dumpster that was sitting on the street right in front of the restaurant. *hope-hope* )
Hey Graham, I've currently made a set of Magic cards based on literature and video games on a card making site, and I was wondering if maybe I could somehow send you some pictures of the cards and see what you and the rest of the LRR crew think of each of them? I was just curious
Surge looks good in that hat
1:40 was that a Traverse the Ulvenwald?
I missed that AFK Commander stream and it doesn't seem to be uploaded at LoadingReadyLive. Halp please.
10:34 oh hey... old moonbase :)
I have time for that.
was that shirt deliberately chosen for today because it's apparently Helvetica's 60th birthday?
Is this turning into a daily vlog type thing?
Hey Graham have you see the Professor's Treefolk commander deck
The real takeaway from this whole thing is... When did Tangle get to be a $5 card?!
Wait a minute, I recognize that intersection in the intro. Is Yellow Jacket just west of there?
Cannons, not Canons, unless they're actually printers that are loud.
I keep hearing mention from you guys of Texan Reverend. Who is he?
Is serge an actor from ncis he looks like one of the mortisions
"my hair is my head-suit"
Can you link to the commander game
Is that an old Moonbase cameo near the end?
Baron Sengir!
they are not cannons Graham, they are howitzers.
Semantic hair-splitting; for someone within earshot, but not within easy eyeshot of the guns, the terminology is sufficient to describe the surprising incidence of high-calibre gunfire.
Why is that building saying "this is not a Tacofino", were people confused as to who they were?
Local restaurant marketing. It's turning into a Lebanese place, co-owned by Tacofino, a regional taco joint.
"You haven't mix a list where you can get the original French for Dobell"
Watching this with subtitles is kinda wonderful.
It does pretty well until you hit the Magic talk (or whenever Serge speaks for some reason), and then it's just glorious nonsense.
