As Matt said below, one of the things we’ll be doing more of now is actually using this blog. Since it’s on the main page now, we’ve got less of an excuse not to.
We’ve just had a Monday, which—you’ll notice—is a big video publishing day for us with both LRR and Unskippable updating within a few hours of one another.
This week’s LRR video “The Job” is an episode we put together to introduce the rest of the Crew to our new, wider audience. The Escapist knows Paul and I pretty well, and are getting to know Jer and Kathleen from ENN, but Matt, James and Tim are largely unknown to them.
Additionally, this week’s Unskippable is Part 2 of our Last Remnant skewering. While we were writing the first episode, we realized there was just too much good content to cut and we’d have to make two episodes out of it. Don’t worry, we’re stopping at two—it’s no Metal Gear August. It should be mentioned that there are, indeed, more scenes between the end of Part 2 and actual gameplay, but you’ll have to get the game if you want to see them. I’d recommend against it.

Big news for fans of LRR shirts! Our new store is online and with it comes a new way to buy our shirts!
We’re really excited about it because it means we can offer lots of new designs, and not lose a bunch of cash printing shirts nobody wants to buy (I’m looking at you, WiiPlay shirt…)
Click here to pre-order our first new design (and watch the informational sales-pitch).
And who’s the one who actually played The Last Remnant constantly saying “This will get better soon, right?.. Right?” Yeah, I ended up selling it back after only being in Elysion for about half an hour. I endured too much of it already ;;
Coincidentally, one of the playable races in the MMO, Aion, is ElysEAn. Pretty much pronounced the exact same way too. Silly games..
I also want that shirt. Hopefully, I get further monies in time before the cut-off date for pre-orders, because I’m buying the hell out of that thing.
And soon, Borderlands will receive the immense playtime it rightly deserves.. In about an hour. AWAY~!

Um, yeah. Never did like the Wii Play shirt. Sorry. — I hope the new store works out well as it’s a great idea. If you ever produce a LRR logo [color=#4080FF][size=150]···•►[/size][/color] patch I would totally put it on my motorcycle club colours & post photos.

Hmm. The ability to edit comments on blog posts would be handy.

Is there a way to make a forum thread show up underneath the blog post? That would give us editing comments ability.
Also that shirt is rad.

Can some kind of update for the shirts be posted when relevant? Such as “we now have over 50 shirt orders” or “Last week, 5 orders to go” so that we’ll have a hum about if we’ll get our shirts or not.

Oh man. I need that shirt.

@MatsJn: We’ll keep you posted on shirt numbers, yes.

That is quite possibly the greatest shirt ever created on earth I will be buying it… if I have any money left over after buying my books for the semester…

That shirt is brilliant!
I really hope there are enough preorders, since I’m trying to save money on shipping by ordering this shirt alongside other shirts.

Wait… So Morgan and Bill are no longer part of the crew? I am confused x.O
Comment by thatryanguy — January 12, 2010 @ 7:39 pm
I’m going to get a WiiPlay shirt when the next preorder comes up.
Comment by Elomin Sha — January 13, 2010 @ 7:32 am
Maybe you should include video links on the store page.
That way, even people who miss the reference can be in on the joke. Might even sell more shirts that way.

Since I actually work in a lab that ‘Science’ Shirt would be great, yet I have one rub. Im part of that 0.7% of the population that hates wearing neutral color shirts (black, grey, brown.) The offering of the multible colors is great, but the blue shirt rather hides that design. Is there a way you can offer other colors? Yellow, Orange, Green, something?

I ordered my science shirt with the season 4 dvd–I assume that you’ll ship them together, so I shouldn’t expect my dvd for another two weeks or so–as that’s when you’ll know if you have enough shirt orders.
