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!
Nice write-up Matt.

Matt…did you just link the blog…IN the blog?!
Man, LRR really *does* like their meta-humor, don’t they…

@DmitriW
If you’re reading it from the front page, it’s not IN the blog, is it Mr. Smartypants?

Matt forgot to tell everyone that once you come in, you can never leave again. Paul controls your mind!

Isn’t the only difference between the blog and the front page the 3 video links at the top?

@Dash Thank. You.

I for one welcome our robot overlor…
err I for one welcome the Escapees into the loving LRR fold, as long as you play nice.

Please, someone tell me, are Morgan and Bill done with LRR? Being a longtime fan (who owns a LRR t-shirt), I feel like I deserve to know, though I realize posting this comment here doesn’t make much sense in context. The ‘about’ section doesn’t list them as part of the crew anymore…

Way to fail at linking 3 PS3’s Matt.

@LucasC
I remember reading in a thread that Graham said they just weren’t there for the photoshoot on the green background or something. Anyway, Bill and Morgan make it into the photo at the top of the page at least and only the other “cast members” are in that shot. I wouldn’t worry too much.
Comment by theashigaru — January 19, 2010 @ 2:35 pm
Matt, I think you need to check on the video links you listed, like lock out and bagel time, because the webpage lists PHP errors and the video is obviously not LRR. I think one was a Basketball game on a newscast and another was an Estes equipment commercial. By the way I love you guys’ videos, and good luck with the escapist deal.

@mosespippy
Yeah, 3 PS3’s should really be up there. It’s a classic LRR Video.
Other than that, nice way of wrapping up years of LRR awesomeness
Comment by NJT — January 19, 2010 @ 6:26 pm
Yes, the classics! After watching those, the old Rapidfires were good watchins, too.
@LucasC- I forgot what Graham said about that and cant find the thread right now, but even if they aren’t “crew”, they’re contributors still. But I’m pretty sure that they just weren’t there for the photo shoot like theashigaru said.

Are OMG Bears! and Too Human part of the ‘us playing us’ videos, or are they ‘us-playing-us-but-not-an-us-playing-us-video’ videos?
Yeah, that was way less confusing in my head.
