Every OS Sucks
December 6th, 2010

Assuming your OS doesn’t bail on you en-route, head on over to the Escapist and check out this week’s video.

This video has been on our to do list for a while, and it’s good to see it finally produced. This video features the musical talents of one Wes Borg, (who you may have seen at Desert Bus performing this very song), our good friend Missie Peters stealing the show as Linux, and the crafting ability of Tally in the form of some awesome Windows earrings. Check this video out – it was a blast to shoot, and is even more fun to watch.

Then go checkout deadtroll.com for more of Wes’ (really funny) stuff.

Unskippable this week marks the series’ 100th episode! In celebration of this milestone, Graham and Paul have put together the Unskippable Guide to Cinematics. This guide is a treasure trove of advice for game developers, helping them to secure their games a place among the Unskippable halls of fame (and to ensure that Unskippable has enough games to let them run for hundreds more episodes).

Cheers all!

Escaping from the Escapist? Look Here…

So today marks our second video post over at The Escapist, and perhaps you are yourself an Escapee, making your way over to our humble home to check out the various pieces of content we upload here, or to look into the history of LRR itself to see what you’ve missed. Admittedly, our promo spot from a few weeks back, while thorough, may not have been the most effective way to bring you up to date with our content, so first off I’m going to suggest you head over to our video archive. We have more than 400 videos in our backlog, so you’ll be kept busy if you want to watch it all.

There are a few you may have seen before out there on the internet, but not known they were us, like:

Halo: The Future of Gaming
Rejected Wii Play Games
How to Talk Like a Pirate

We also Did A webseries last year Titled “commodoreHUSTLE”, which you’ll find right here.

These were predated by a series of “Us playing Us” videos, in which we played out caricatures of ourselves. These should serve to familiarize yourself with the cast a bit, and the sorts of antics we get up to:

Moving Out
Lock Out
Bandwidth Exceeded
Format War
All The Little People
Son of a Bitch (a personal favorite, guess why :p )
And Bagel Time

Another great series to check out is X ways to Y. These serve as our exhaustive guide on how to do a variety of mundane tasks.

So yeah, we do videos.

Don’t write us off as a one trick pony though. We do a variety of other things too!

Tim produces a behind the scenes bonus video series by the name of “Loading Time”.

Graham occasionally produces a vidblog… ish… thing By the name of “Phailhaus” (though I’ve been known to do them myself)

And then of course there’s the Iron Stomach Challenge videos in which the cast eats gross things.

Hm… I guess those are videos too. Ok, we do a LOT of videos.

As far as other content is concerned though, we have a podcast.

We have a store. (in which you’ll find a new shirt design up for order every month…ish).

We have a forum where you can chat with all of the hardcore LRR fans.

We have a Twitter account (@LoadingReadyRun) on which we post little day to day updates on the status of the website, or what we’re up to.

And we have this blog, where we’ll be posting news and announcements, as well as information regarding appearances, screenings, and other neat stuff!

So basically, what I’m saying is throw LoadingReadyRun.com into your bookmarks, and make sure to come by every coupe of days. The content we post on the escapist is only a small part of the full LRR experience, and we wouldn’t want you to miss out!

Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you’ll keep coming back!
