Ways to Close the Deal
February 21st, 2011

Posted by Matt

This week’s video is up, so head on over and check it out. You’ll be glad you did. Really. Just sign here.

It’s Andy! Also, Nate! Also, Nate wrote this! And Andy wrote a video you’ll see very soon! We don’t even work here anymore! Seriously though, this video marks our good friend Nate’s very first writing credit for LoadingReadyRun, and we certainly hope to see his name among our credits often in weeks to come. So we thought, ‘what better way to feature Nate’s work on this new addition to the X Ways to Y franchise than to give him a starring role!?’

A reminder to everyone that the new LoadingReadyRun store is now live, with all kinds of fancy new features to make your shopping experience as streamlined and easy as can be. And not a moment too soon, either, as a new tee-shirt pre-order is imminent. I won’t give away any details, I’ll simply say that this particular shirt is unforgettable.

Unskippable this week was Dead Rising 2: Part 3. It just keeps going….

Cheers!

New LRR Store
February 20th, 2011

Posted by Paul

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that we have revamped the LRR store! Thanks to you guys, over the last couple of years the LRR store has grown from a nice sideline to an important part of LRR’s business. In an effort to keep this going and to support future projects, LRR has transitioned to a new piece of store software. Some of the advantages of this new system include:

Order History: If you want, you can now make an account with the store so that it remembers your order history and mailing address.

Shipping Quotes: Instead of the previous rough shipping estimates (Canada, US, International), the new store is in direct communication with Canada Post and will deliver exact shipping quotes based on your mailing address. This means reduced shipping costs for most people!

Inventory Control: The new store automatically keeps track of everything in our massive shipping warehouse (AKA James’ office) and will prevent you from ordering anything out of stock or not available.

In the backend, the new store should make it much easier for us to add and manage new products. For example, check out the Starburst and Desertbus Crest shirts now available on the store page and the all new Patches section with awesome fabric patches for all your accessorizing needs. In addition, in the coming weeks we hope to add a downloads section for you to purchase and download some of the awesome music from your favorite LRR videos.

As always, please let me know if you are having any issues, or if you have any questions or comments.

Cheers,

Paul

Discount Deities
February 14th, 2011

Posted by Matt

D’y’all ever find yerselves in need a’ some laughs, but a little short on funds? Well, git on over to The Escapist, ‘cuz we’re servin’ ’em up at steeply discounted prices!

This was a tremendously fun video to shoot, and not just because it was straightforward and quick. Things started off well when Graham and Kathleen proceeded to buy out the entire Snuggie supply of a local store and got questioned as to why they would be doiong something so ridiculous by a passerby. We also had both Bill and Morgan on set for the shooting of this bit, which is a rare event, but always enjoyed. Hilariously, Morgan had barely slept the night before shooting, and so most of his time (on and off camera) was actually spent napping. In retrospect, I suppose we didn’t really get to interact with him much as a result.

Unskippable this week was Dead Rising 2: Part 2. Check it out here.

Also, finally, a reminder that there will be no ENN this week (or in any future weeks), owing to the fact that it is being discontinued. You’ll find details in our blog post here.

Cheers!

LRR @ PAX East
February 9th, 2011

Posted by Graham

Greetings everybody!

We’ve finally managed to sort everything out and finalize our PAX East plans. Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad geography, but it turns out Boston is a really long way from Victoria, BC, so not everyone from LRR can come this year.

Graham, Paul and Kathleen will be there however! We’ve got a sweet LoadingReadyRun panel planned for 7:30PM on Saturday, and Kathleen’s on another panel with The Escapist’s Susan Arendt as well!

We know you’ll miss the rest of the crew—we assure you they’ll miss you too—but Graham, Paul and Kathleen are really excited to hang out with all of you awesome LRR fans at this, the most easterly of PAXs.

See you on the 11th!

Impersonal Information
February 7th, 2011

Posted by Matt

Today’s video has arrived! head on over and check it out!

This weeks video comes to us courtesy of Paul, who provided me the little blurb below regarding his inspiration to write this bit:

I watch a lot of video game trailers for Unskippable and while clicking through yet another one of those silly age gateways I started to wonder whether they tracked the birth date data and if so, are they shocked by the weird statistical anomaly of half the people visiting the site being born on January 1st. That turned into thinking about how people fudge data on other web forms and that turned into the video you see before you. It isn’t clear in the video and it doesn’t really matter, but in my heart, the interrogating agent is the same one as Jer’s character from Gorgeous, off on another crusade but still obsessed with Antarctica. Big thanks to the VEC for letting us shoot in their creepy basement (aka the Daily Drop Laboratory) even though it somehow managed to be colder and wetter then outside.

Unskippable this week was Dead Rising 2: Part 1. You can watch it here.
