A Special Treat?

Hey guys, So I have been doing some computer cleaing over the last couple of days and came across this little gem. As anyone who owns the season 1 DVD might know there is a special feature with the “crew bios” penned by yours truly. I had no real reason for making these in the first place. They were not originally planned to go on the DVD by any means. But I think I showed one of them to Graham and he seemed to like them, so I just kept writing them. I am almost certain all of these were written between the hours of 2am-6am (when I use to actually stay up that late, I now manage the reasonable 1:30 am bed time) Anyways, enjoy!

Introduction by the “so called” Author”

So before you is the first batch of the cast bios for the crew here at Loading Ready Run. Not everybody that has ever been in a video is in the following bios but a good chunk of them are. A few things for you guys to know before you go on with reading them is. I am crazy, i mean anyone who can come up with this random crap has to have something seriously mentally wrong with them. Now given everyone of these bios where typed up with no planning on my part or help with anyone else, they were done souly in the wee hours of the morning mostly between 1am and 4am which is really when most of the ideas for this awsome site come from. Infact as i am typing this i am sitting at my desk at 2am playing super mario 3 on my gba and figureing out the last few bios for people. As you will read in Ashs bio the whole mario thing makes a lot more sense as i was playing it when i wrote it. So i hope you enjoy them. For everyone who is on the cast and is reading these for the first time which is pretty much everyone but Graham and Paul i hope you like what i wrote for you and if by some chance you are missing don’t worry. If enough people like these i will finish up with everyone else and stick them up on the site for all to see. -James-

Behind the Scenes – TOO Human
September 17th, 2008

Posted by Graham

Well this is a little behind schedule, but I honestly forgot I even had these photos. So there we are.

This was a crazy shoot, which is largely my fault. Not only did I have to be at a family function that afternoon but I decided to get all crazy with the shooting. Immediately upon reading Jer’s script, I visualized how the video had to be shot, and I really wanted to run with it.

As a result I storyboarded it, which is uncommon (read: it never happens) but I’m trying to doing it more often.

Despite the challenge, it went very well. Everyone brought “it” and we finished 10 minutes before I literally had to be out the door.

Enjoy this photographic evidence.

COME ONE, COME ALL!

PAX Day Afterwards
September 1st, 2008

Posted by Tim

Well we’re back from the Penny Arcade Expo and I figured that since I started off the convention with a blog post, I might as well end it off with one, as well.

It was awesome. Ridiculously awesome. I had a great time, and I know everyone else in the group did as well. There were some great games to see, some very entertaining panels, some good music (I’ll let others speak to the music–I only saw two or three songs), and a lot of fun just hanging out.

Some of the excitement of the trip can be experience through the Loading Time series we shot during the day before PAX and the three days the convention ran. You can see the first three days on the site already (Day 0 here. Day 1 here, and Day 2 here).

We also executed the LRR PAX Get-together, which we decided, during the event, to dub LRRCon 2008. A lot of people showed up (we foolishly forgot to get a headcount) and had an awesome time hanging out, taking pictures, getting autographs, and being uber nerds together. There were multiple cameras and camera-persons documenting it. You can see Sable’s photo coverage here, and you can check out some video footage in the PAX Day 2 Loading Time.

For anyone else who was at PAX and/or at LRRCon ’08, feel free to share some impressions on the forums and let everyone know how jealous they should be that you got to see Fallout 3 live and hang out with the LRR Crew.

Hope to see you all next year!
