UPDATE: The KickStarter is now live! Please check it out, here!
If you were at the LoadingReadyRun panel at PAX Prime, you no doubt heard that we had decided to do a Kickstarter now that the service is available in Canada.
While we revealed a few things about what we had planned, we kept things vague in order to make sure everyone found out the full details at the same time, from the same source. Of course, it takes time to set up a Kickstarter and have it approved, so we apologize if you’ve been waiting with baited breath to finally find out what we have planned. Assuredly, we are just as excited as you are!
But guess what? Our Kickstarter is now approved, and we will be launching it on: Saturday, September 14, at 7:00 pm PDT.
To celebrate the launch, and to A any Qs you might have, we’ll also be doing a livestream on our Twitch channel – twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun!
P.S.
It is not to fund a hostile “Yummies Corp” takeover of Wizards of the Coast. There are no reward tiers that involve me getting a tattoo of a butt on my butt. Sadly, there are also no “Kathleen and Graham adopt all of Baxter’s siblings” stretch goals either.
will there be a graham proposes to katheen goal

@jon It’s a bit late for that.

@boofinka: Twitch automatically records all the streams in its archive: http://twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/profile/pastBroadcasts
IIRC, it also has a convenient “upload straight to YouTube” option, which I imagine they might use here.

Dammit, I’m going to be working for part of that!
I’ll get there when I can.

I don’t care what it is, you’re already getting my money.

If it’s not for a Commodore Hustle feature film, you’re doing it wrong.

Ooh, I’m so excited!

Will there be a Romanian Princess Kathleen tier of rewards?

I hope the Kickstarter is for getting all the old Revver videos up on Youtube. Banana onion juice shall live again!

what are the limits on the iron chef tier? for example what if some suggests rocky mountain oysters, or lutefisk or something? there are a lot of gross foods out there. and if you can’t find a food or it’s to expensive would you contact the backer who suggested it for a substitute?

After the year will you still be doing sketches occasionally just not weekly and presumably not on the escapist?
Comment by Lee — September 15, 2013 @ 12:38 pm
LoadingReadyRun Kickstarter: Taking it to 11.
Awesome.
Comment by Woland — September 15, 2013 @ 3:41 pm
I’ve been watching your sketches for about 4 years now, and as sad as I am that the weekly versions of them are going away, I’m very happy that you guys are at least attempting to finish things up in a way of your own choosing. It’s a very brave choice, and I personally applaud you for it.
With over half your goal already met, I’m thinking this is going to happen for you. I’ll be pledging something soon, and I can’t wait to see all the new live streams and stuff. Plus, I’ve always been curious about your first year, so I really hope you reach that stretch goal.
Here’s to a great 2014!

well, I’m a definitely illegal boy through and through. It’s the least I could do after so many years of enjoying LRR.
Comment by boofinka — September 16, 2013 @ 9:53 am
I have to say this kind of ruined my morning. I’ve been watching LRR since Desert Bus 1 and not having LRR sketches is going to make my Mondays significantly less awesome.
Still… I’ll be sure to support the KS and I hope it really takes off.
Comment by Geoff — September 16, 2013 @ 10:05 am
Aw I had no clue you guys were stopping :/. Will the other shows continue and will desert bus still be a thing?
Comment by koolaroo — September 16, 2013 @ 3:12 pm
Y u no mention Commodore Hustle, the best thing LRR does? Will it stop? Plz don’t stop.
