LRR added to the Aug 30 Scott and Kris Show!
August 8th, 2012

Posted by Kathleen

Attention Seattle fans and PAX Prime attendees!

LoadingReadyRun will be special guests for the August 30th edition of Kris and Scott’s Scott and Kris Show Live!

We’ll be sharing the stage with other talented people like Scott Kurtz, Kris Straub, Paul and Storm, the creators of Cards Against Humanity and humanity’s favourite, Stephen “Stepto” Toulouse!

If you’re in town for PAX Prime or a Seattle local, this is a great chance to see a rare live LoadingReadyRun appearance.

Tickets are available here. Doors 6:30 pm, show starts at 8:00 pm. $20 each, must be 17+ due to possible (almost certain) swears, adult content.

Hope to see you there!

Game With Fame – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013
July 5th, 2012

Posted by Matt

Well, I know I said that it would be a “final reminder” when I made note of this in Monday’s blog post, but I lied.

Tomorrow, that’s July 6th, 2012, at 6PM Pacific time, the LoadingReadyRun crew is going to be sitting down on our respective couches, Xbox 360 controllers in hand, and firing up some Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013. We’re going to need some people to battle against, too, so we’d like it very much if you joined us!

Here’s what you need to do to take part:

Show up (on Xbox Live) a little before 6PM, and have DotP 2013 downloaded and ready to play on your console. Once the event has started, all you need to do is either send a friend request or a game invite to any of the gamertags noted below, and wait for us to accept. We’ll be getting as many games in as we can, so don’t fret if we can’t accept right away!

The gamertags you’ll want to remember are:

Graham LRR
Matt LRR
Jer LRR
ThisIsWhyImPaul
Normalcy
Hammerbag
SequoiaMaxima

We’re really looking forward to playing with you, so come on out and duel!

See you Friday!

Ways to Spend Your Summer
July 3rd, 2012

Posted by Matt

Ah, summer. That time of year when school is out, and playtime is in. Are you looking for ideas on how you can spend some time now that the sun is out and the weather is warm? We’ve got some ideas for you!

LoadingReadyRun: Ways to Spend Your Summer
Unskippable: NeverDead
Checkpoint: DOA Flashback
Feed Dump: French Fry Attack!
Loading Time: Behind the Green Screen

Filmed (in the majority) while Graham and Kathleen were out of town on Saturday, this video was primarily a James, Paul, and Matt production. The big prop in this one was the watermelon, which we procured from a local Thrifty’s grocery store. James and Paul were quite impressed with the fact that I managed to so perfectly extract a slice from the side of the melon without otherwise compromising the integrity of the rind, but I didn’t really think it was such a big deal. Is this a thing people normally have problems with? Have I discovered my super-power at last? In other notes, wearing my ski clothes was hot as hell, and I actually just stepped into the shower with my clothes on for the “Bathe in sweat” segment.

One final reminder (because it’s coming up on Friday) that the LRR crew will be playing in the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 ‘Game With Fame’ event this week. We’d really like to see you all come out and play. the crew has been practising all week, and we’re sure it’ll be a blast for all involved. Check out the details here.

Cheers ’til then!
