Yo- Yo. bro. Hey, bro! Man, have I got some stories for you. You won’t even believe ‘em!

LoadingReadyRun: Jonny
Unskippable: Cursed Crusade
Checkpoint: Masters of Code, Not Money

Allow me the (dubious) honour of introducing Jonny. Jonny’s a new addition to our character roster, but we expect that you’ll grow to love him. As if you don’t already. He’s the life of the party, after all!

Indeed, this isn’t the last time you’ll get to see Jonny wax poetic on his various celebratory adventures. We shot this video on Saturday at Ben’s house, and immediately thereafter, we moved to a different (and super secret) location to shoot another! Much like the Story Guy videos of days past, the plan is to have Jonny return from time to time, to recount a tale of drunken debauchery, sexual conquest, and felony substance abuse. You’ll have to wait a while for the next video though. As Much as Jonny talks tough, he doesn’t have a new story to tell every week. So keep checking back, and one day, like Cyclops, he will emerge from the shadows, and shred you with his razor wit… claws.

Cheers!

So as many of you know we here at LRR like our Magic. We also know that many of you don’t, so we’ve started to make an effort to seperate our MtG talk as much as possible.

Step number one was to create a brand new Twitter account, which you can find here - http://twitter.com/LRRMtG

If you enjoy Magic, or more specifically like hearing us talk about Magic then this is the account for you. Along with live tweeting both our own office events and any event we attend at our LGS (local game shop, for the uninitiated), we will also be letting people know when you can find us streaming a draft over on Twitch TV.

Streaming Magic drafts is gaining in popularity and we thought we should get in ground floor and do our best to put a LRR spin on the medium. In the immediate future James and Graham (and possibly someone else) will be back drafting this Saturday evening at 7:00PM PST. Please jump on over to http://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun, create an account, and start following us for updates for when we go live.

This shoot was extremely quick and easy, and we got to play around with some new equipment and a new location to boot! The office location was that of a local business who kindly allowed us in to shoot for about an hour on Saturday, an we’re thrilled they did, because the setting is perfect. I feel like the papers strewn about and office equipment present lends a sense of authenticity to the video that we aren’t often able to provide, so it was great to be acting on a really convincing set.

The new piece of equipment is a neat little Kessler Pocket Dolly we picked up. You’ll notice the camera move right at the beginning of the video. Keep an eye out for those small camera motions in future videos, because I expect that little device is going to see a lot of use.

The size of it is perfect for our needs too. We can easily transport it in the back of my car, and it takes seconds to set up and dismantle.  These are massive bonuses, given our relative distatte for planning, and effort. It’s super handy, and lets us add these cool little dynamic touches in places we weren’t prviously able. I think it’s found a good home with our group.

Cheers!
