Yes we are halfway through august. Enjoy the rest of your summer chilluns, cuz it’s officially 3/4 finished. What’s not finished is LRR, though I have a little less to write about this update.

Paul is My Hero

As he notes in his own blog posts below, Paul has made some subtle updates to the site, adding a search field to the videos page and adding an iPhone portal for all our videos and podcasts. Expect other revisions over the coming months as the final gremlins in the new site design are put to the sword.

Desert Bus Rumblings

Several days ago, the Desert Bus site updated for the first time in almost nine months. Granted, it’s not an extremely exciting update, but it’s probably enough to let slip that the crew are already hard at work on its followup. Last year’s event was a huge success, and we are firmly committed to one-upping our success with something bigger, better and (hopefully) longer.

PAX LRRmana

With James, Matt, Morgan and I all going to PAX, we thought it might be fun to get together with those of you who are also going to chill and shoot the rhetorical shit. I’m currently conducting a poll on the forums to see, in general, what kind of get-together you guys would be interested in. Would a pub work best for you? How about a restaurant? Or maybe we could just see if we can borrow some “hang-out space” on the convention floor somewhere?

Check out the poll and let me know :)!

Great Minds . . . Think About Calculus

Keith points out that 2PStart did a Geometry Wars 2 strip last week that bears a striking resemblance to a joke from our own GWRE2 video. While they were not, in fact, inspired by us, their comic is still funny so you should go check it out.

Dem LRR Boyz

Spartanhelmet has noted the existence of “Dem LRR Boyz” a boy band that has apparently stolen our name. Chalk this one up for the “curiosity” file; we’ve long known about the existence of another (industrial) 64k, so it’s hardly surprising that someone else is using LRR. I’m pretty sure, at least, that they don’t have a commodore connection . . .

15 Seconds of Fame (Bathroom Humour Edition)

Wanna be on the LRR podcast? Record an answer to the following question and email it to James by Saturday August 16 at noon (subject: 15 SECONDS OF FAME). We will pick the best one, play it on the podcast, and comment on it, potentially giving you 15 seconds of fame.

This week’s question:
You are the proprietor of a new Victoria establishment called Creationism: The Bar. One of your mandated tasks is to create a men’s washroom that is pleasant to be in, but discourages loitering and other nefarious male washroom activities. Describe this washroom in 15 seconds or fewer.

Email responses to James.

Thats’ it for this week, folks. Sorry there’s not been a teaser pic yet, but expect one to go up tomorrow at some point.

Cheers!
