Happy Monday all!

This week’s LRR videos have a theme running through them. Cold!

See, it’s both seasonally appropriate (since it’s winter) and sympathetic to everyone stuck on the East coast, which is still a “winter wonderland.” I put that phrase in quotation marks because in my experience the only people who like months of unending snow, ice and cold are jerks/sociopaths/snow shovel enthusiasts. And whatever they are, they’re not to be trusted. Their unnatural love of snow means they are extremely likely to pelt you in the head with a snowball. Which they will do at both high speed and frequency in the name of “enjoying this glorious weather.” Like I said, jerks.

Anyhow, this week on Unskippable, Graham and Paul take us all the way back to the PS2 era with Cold Fear! When a whole team of highly trained tactical commandos is taken out by boat zombies, it’s time to deploy the greatest weapon known to mankind. A man in a vest!

Wait… it’s nukes?

OH! We were supposed to use nukes?

Crap, that dude in a vest is probably screwed.

This week’s LRR video also deals with a chilly subject – the Winter Olympics! Are you enjoying cheering for your country as its finest athletes hurl themselves down mountains in a contest to see who can injure themselves the worst? Ever wonder why the Winter Olympics are a fun contest of sport and not some sort of terrible prison penance reserved for humanity’s greatest monsters? Nigel Fitzgerald Brouwer is here to give you… The Whole Story.

And finally yesterday was our first “group stream” on LoadingReadyLive. We all played Minecraft and were vexed by chickens.  If you missed it, you can watch the whole replay on the LRL YouTube Channel. As a reminder, you can find all sorts of replays and other goodies on the LRL channel, so if you don’t want to watch our streaming sessions via Twitch, be sure to head on over there and subscribe.
