When I got the request to do the weekly Crap Shots roundup, I made a startling discovery: a hole in time that has penetrated the blog and goes back approximately three weeks. Come with me, friends, on a magical journey to early August: those heady, lost, innocent days of youth– let us, together, feast our senses on the finest Crap Shots that Alex and YouTube have to offer.
This week’s video has touched down, and is currently taxing to the terminal. You can find it at boarding gate ‘E’.
This week’s video was a bit of an experiment. WE had this script that we really, really liked, but for whatever reason, the Capitol Region’s Airport Authority didn’t take particularly enthusiastically to a bunch of 20-something amateur film-makers descending (ha!) on their airport, to shoot a bunch of video of their more sensitive operations to publish on the internet. Your guess is as good as mine as to why this was, but alas, we didn’t have a control tower to shoot in.
Since we couldn’t shoot on location, and we knew we wouldn’t be able to fake up a set sufficiently well, we decided to try our hands at the video you see before you. Entirely hand drawn! Kathleen took care of the character art, Alex did the backgrounds, and Graham made it all go. As a result, we didn’t have to set this script to rest as something unfilmable, and you guys ended up with something visually fresh, and different!
Unskippable this week was an advance cutscene from Epic Mickey (a game I’m quite looking forward to.) You can find that update here.

Sorry about the late update this week, yesterday kind of got away from me, and by the time I had a chance to write this up, I didn’t want top bump the last hours of the shirt poll.
coming to you from the department of no surprise is the fact that this is a Kathleen script, completed with some help and suggestions from Graham. You’ll find our good friend Missie Peters in this, doing a great job at delivering one of the more ridiculous lines of recent weeks.
Unskippable this week was Alpha Protocol, and it can be found: here
About a month ago, I put up a blog post asking for your designs on a variant LoadingReadyRun logo t-shirt. We received many designs from many creative people, and it was a difficult job narrowing down submissions to what we have today.
After a week of mulling over the crop of excellent designs, the crew has narrowed it down to three final nominees. I’m posting the designs in their original forms, as well as our interpretations of them to best represent how they will appear on the fnal shirts. These designs could change slightly from this point, but not in any significant way.
Now it’s up to you to choose which design will be printed and whose design we will buy. I am not going to reveal the names of the designers in this post, but I will post their names (with their permission) once voting closes. I will also post a full gallery of designs early next week, to celebrate the creativity of the community.
Again, we are thrilled by the amount of talent and effort poured into this open call, and incredibly thankful to have such a continually awesome community.
…and now, the final three!
Development Name: Starburst
Development Name: Rocket
Development Name: Die
We will collect votes on these designs for exactly one week, or until 11:59pm PST, Aug 16, 2010. After that, we’ll contact the winner about the business end of things. This should be an interesting week.
Let the best shirt win!
Which do you think should be the next LRR T-Shirt Pre-Order
The new video is up! Attack its weak point for massive damage (by clicking here).
This particular video was not just written by Alex, it was written by Alex years ago. We’ve had this script siting on the back burner for ages. We knew that in order to pull this video off successfully, it would need to be executed *just* right. We’d need good costumes, a perfect location, and for the longest time we just didn’t really have the ability to do it up with the treatment required.
Needless to say, when we finally pulled the trigger on it, a lot of care and planning went into getting it just right.
The video was filmed at Graham’s parents’ house, and if I’m not mistaken, the opening shot is of Victoria’s own Craigdarroch Castle. Close viewers will note that the villains in this video are playing a very special variant of poker, as well.
Unskippable today was Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway, and well w know how that turned out. Or we don’t but we could find out by clicking here.
