Tim earned the achievement: Made a book

Hey everyone!

Since I moved on from LRR in September, I’ve been busy with a lot of different things. School has taken up a fair amount of my time, and of course I spend a lot of time with my fiancĂ©e. But I’ve also been continuing to work creatively, specifically at FiftyWordStories.com.

A big part of my creative effort has gone towards publishing a collection of stories from my first year of writing, and after several months of editing, layout, and design, I was finally able to finalize the book and release it on Monday, January 31.

I’m selling my book, which is called Fifty-Word Stories: Volume One, through my store. It’s available in print through Lulu.com for $12, and also as an ebook for $4, either as a bundle of several formats that you can download from my site, or as a Kindle-only file through the Kindle Store. For more information on the available formats, you can read the Store FAQ.

I really appreciate all of the support that LRR fans have given me and my writing. And it isn’t only LRR’s fans have supported me: the crew has helped out, as well. In fact, a few of them even sent me stories for my special guest week. Graham wrote Greetings, Friend; Jer wrote Trust Your Cartographer; and Tally wrote Black Belt Housewife.

So check out their stories, and read around a bit on the rest of the site. I hope you enjoy what you read, and if you like it enough, check out the store.

Thanks,

Tim

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh… We’re going to have to ask you to move… on over to The Escapist to watch this week’s video!

As you have no doubt already guessed, this was a Kathleen video. Upon presenting it to the crew, she expressed some trepidation that it was too offensive or too over the top. Personally, I don’t think it is. It’s just the perfect amount of off-colour. It’s the “creamy eggshell” to our normally “arctic” white. Go, watch, enjoy – the send-up in this video is one, I’m sure we can all get behind!

When you’ve finished, feel free to kick back, and flip on this On The Run video, to watch as you enjoy the warm afterglow of hilarity:

Unskippable this week was “Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom”. Yeah, I know, I’ve never heard of it either, but apparently it exists. I honestly don’t know wat system it’s on. If you want to puzzle over the question yourself, head on over and check out the video.

Finally, you should know that we have extended the creepy-doll pre-order period for 7 more days to give you a little more time to add some terror to your wardrobe (that isn’t a function of how woefully out of style it is). Add this creepy shirt to your life for all kinds of friend & family disconcerting fun! Pre-order it here.

Cheers!

Who is this shadowy cabal of men and women behind your favorite website? Perhaps the newly updated About Us page can shed some light on that question! Not only have we updated the crew images to be a little more current, but we have now included email links if you want to get in touch with us and twitter and blog links if you are curious about what LRR crew members do during our off hours.

This week’s video is up and it’s brought to you by Jack Plank’s Pork Fried Butt Steak! Watch it NOW!

This week’s video is a pretty straightforward parody of Spike TV. It is my understanding that many of our international viewers have not witnessed the atrocity that is Spike TV. Rest assured, this video is far more entertaining. Once Upon a time, Spike was a one-stop shop for programming blocks of Star Trek: The Next Generation and CSI (this was ’round about the time everyone loved CSI). Sadly, this is no longer the case. It’s now a one stop shop for shows like ‘1000 ways to die’, ‘Manswers’ and terrible off-brand wrestling programs. Yeah.

Unskippable this week was Fist of the North Star, so go watch it, and prepare to be hit with a Hokuto Shinken of hilarity.

And don’t forget – there’s only a couple of days left to order a Creepy Doll shirt. Don’t miss out!

Cheers!

This week’s update is up, and let me tell you, we’ve whipped up a real treat! This isn’t just some half-assed video! No Sir, we’ve been slaving away, and making use of the heights of modern technology to bring you the LoadingReadyRun CD-ROM game, and we’ve done everything we can to make the experience feel as authentic as possible! Can you help the crew overcome their difficulties and film a video? You should really give it a try! Just click here!

Unskippable this week is Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. You can watch that here.

Finally, a quick reminder that there are 14-days left in the pre-order period for creepydoll shirts. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to terrorize your friends, pre-order one today!

Cheers!
