Happy Wednesday everyone! A quick update to let you know about the newest Feed Dump: Trains, heads and lobsters. A sad tale of dashed expectations that doesn’t include any adorable animals. Unless you think lobsters are cute.

I’m just as disappointed as you that all this stuff is real.

We also put up our bi-weekly comedy draft over on MTGO Academy. You won’t learn how to play magic, but you will probably laugh as Graham and I attempt a Storytime draft… AKA what essentially boils down to a long dick joke.

Weird wobbly deer will forever remind them of their first date

Look at this deck! It’s actually really good. I don’t know what happened. 

Happy Monday everyone! It may be the middle of winter, and stuff may be mostly grey, brown and white outside, but inside we’ve got a fresh new batch of LoadingReadyRun videos to help brighten your day.

First up is CMN, our take on the useless products that are normally sold for way too much money via TV. I have no idea how we came up for the idea for this video, but I can assure you, once we started working on the dialogue everyone was laughing. And shuddering.

Watch now and we’ll throw in six extra laughs for free! Offer not valid.

Next up is this week’s CheckPoint. With Atari selling off its assets, maybe we can finally get into the game business after all. And realistically, what else is Atari even doing. In addition, EA tries its hand at the educational market, and Nintendo is good at making Nintendo games.

If Minecraft can be “educational” I’m sure SimCity can be too.

Unskippable heads back to Pandora this week for Borderlands 2. I had not realized how ridiculous the opening cut-scene to this game was, so I suggest you go check this episode out. It’s also really funny!

Guys, are we ready to  face Handsome Jack’s chin? We might need more guns.

Finally, as you can see in our shiny, new carousel (I think that’s the technical term for that video switchy thing) that Episode 19 of Cursed Crusade is also online. We’re getting into the home stretch here folks.

It’s Thursday, which means the latest episode of Loading Time is up! Taking you behind the scenes of Junk in the Trunk, this week’s episode reveals how we were able to roll the car down the ramp, and just how we actually recorded the long driving scene. It’s also the last week Loading Time and its associated columns will appear on The Escapist. From now on, they’ll be found here, on the LoadingReadyRun blog and on our YouTube channel. Watch the episode below, and read my column here.

Speaking of YouTube, that’s also where the the Graham and Paul Let’s Play videos reside. We just put up Episode 18 of Cursed Crusade, marking the three quarters point (!) through that wretched game. Enjoy Graham, Paul and Brad’s suffering below.

Finally I have a neat milestone to report! The LRR YouTube channel has racked up more than 4 million lifetime views! Thanks for your support everyone!

Short update today, but it comes with good news! The latest Feed Dump is online! Featuring Alex, Graham and myself, this was the episode that time I forgot… Until midnight last night. That was fun.

Wait, you mean to tell me the hat market will be screwed after this episode? 

Happy Monday! Three new LRR videos for you to enjoy! One new Jerk City for you to be confused at!

First up is this week’s CheckPoint, SWTOR SGR OMG — Graham and I pile on to the Final Fantasy: All the Bravest In App Purchases bandwagon, we debate the NRA and tackle the media’s decision to refer to the new SWTOR expansion as “the gay planet.” I also note with some satisfaction that this Penny Arcade Screenshot is almost flattering. Ha. You guys are slipping.

Next up, Graham and Paul tackle Sleeping Dogs in Unskippable. Sure, it’s a fun game, but I think it might be painting an unrealistic picture of how easy it is to join a triad. “Hey! Did we go to elementary school together like… 20 years ago?  Great! Let’s go shake down some rival gangsters.”

And of course, there is this week’s LoadingReadyRun video, Junk in the Trunk! For a video with just a few shots, there was a lot of fiddly audio work involved. More on that in the Loading Time column on Thursday.

And finally, here’s a Jerk City with some junk in it too. Why not.
