Trivia / Sir Ron Lionheart

• Acting for Two: SirRichardLionheart frequently pretends to converse with the protagonists and NPCs of each game he plays, all of which are voiced by himself. By Final Fantasy IV, he's even adding roars and death cries of major enemies. Then comes Final Fantasy VIII, where almost every onscreen character gets their own line or vocalization, meaning he's not only talking to himself, but talking OVER himself!
  • Lampshaded during one episode of The Cookie Crisis...
  Link: YAAAAAARGH! RAAAAAAAH! YAAAAAAAAAAA!
  Ron: Haha, Link is here too!
  Natalie: That's... just you!
• Doing It for the Art: From his Youtube profile, "Remember that my LPs are a personal hobby of mine and I never want to make them a "job". I don't fake enthusiasm, sorry."
  • In his Final Fantasy IV LP, he grinded 5 hours straight the moment he went out of the village in the beginning of the game by levelling Cecil and Cain to 20. Of course, he didn't record it for our convenience. And that's just the first grind.
  • When Retsupurae did their business on him, they pointed out that he had, at that point, over 290 videos uploaded but less than 50 subscribers, giving him possibly the worst return-on-investment in all of Youtube.
    • What makes that comment Hilarious in Hindsight is that Slowbeef's RP (entitled "You will not make it through this video") was directly responsible for Sir Ron gaining an additional 10,000 subscribers.
  • The downside of this is that if he's not feeling it, he won't record anything at all. This probably explains his 2011 hiatus, as well as the (possibly permanent) current one.
• Schedule Slip: Sir Ron disappeared for a hundred BILLION years! (for reality, see below). But this is often massively averted when he's active, as tends to upload multiple videos in a single day. But whenever something takes a long time or this occurs between uploads, he will joke that that the protagonist has has been "standing there for seven-hours-and-a-half now".
  • Starting with Braid, he no longer uploads multiple videos a day (that game in particular often went over a week without updating, probably due to all the editing he had to do—see "Curse Cut Short" above). The flip side of this is that individual videos are now much longer.
• Series Hiatus: Sir Ron was busy studying or something, and he disappeared from the internet just before Christmas 2010. He didn't upload anything at all in 2011 (save for one random video that was just him rambling about nothing), and it was thought by many that he'd retired... until he suddenly reappeared in April 2012 to do an LP of Super Mario World romhack Super Mario Place (or, as he calls it, "Place Super Mario World!").
  • His LP of Final Fantasy VIII stopped at part 18 (when Sir Ron went offline for 16 months) and didn't get continued for a while.
  • He seems to have disappeared once more. In early 2013, after some weeks of silence, he made a rare on-camera appearance - though, bizarrely, he said he was relaying a message from Sir Ron - explaining his computer had died and he wouldn't be returning for awhile. His last upload was in late 2013; it was a video of Diablo 3 gameplay but not a Let's Play of it, just a commentary-less video.
