T-Shirt Update: 24 Hours Left!
February 25th, 2010

Posted by Matt

That’s right! there are 24 hours left to order your Slacking shirt. I don’t have exact numbers on hand, but I’m pretty sure that we have reached our 50 pre-sale goal at this point, so it’s overwhelmingly likely that this run IS going to happen. Also, I’d like to remind everyone that if you want one of our many shirt styles, other than a standard unisex black, now is the time to do it.

As an added bonus, all pre-order shirts come with their own unique button which you’ll have to purchase seperately if you wait.

So if you’ve waited this long, you’ve shown yourself to truly be an olympic level slacker. It’s time to order the shirt that proves it.

And don’t forget, if you aren’t already a Canadian, we’ll confer ‘Honorary Canadian’ status on anyone who joins The 2010 Canadian Slacking Team.

T-Shirt Update

Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and let you know how our new T-Shirt system is going.

As you all know, our first design out of the gate was the very popular “Is somebody doing science in here?” design. After three weeks of preorders, I’m happy to report we blew clear past the 50 preorders required for the run to go ahead. So you’re all probably wondering where your new shirts are!

Well, they’re coming. I picked them up from the printers yesterday and started organizing them all last night. The goal right now is to have them all sorted and packaged by the end of the weekend and ship them all out at the start of next week.

Moving onto our current design, things are most definitely slower. Now, we fully expected this to happen, and the “Slacking” shirt is still doing very well. In fact, with only 9 days left in the preorder window we only need another 5 orders to reach our print goal of 50. Remember, we have this shirt available in various designs and colours and that is one of the benifits of ordering now. If you wait until we have printed the run then you are going to be stuck, with the only option being a black T-Shirt (in your size). So if you have been meaning to order the new shirt, stop slacking and order!

So from all of us at LRR, I just want to throw a quick thank you out to all that have helped make this new T-Shirt system a huge success, and here’s to many more shirts down the line!

T-Shirt Announce: 2010 Canadian Slacking Team
February 6th, 2010

Posted by Jeremy

That’s right — in line with our pre-order initiatives on T-shirts, you can now pre-order our own unique brand of olympic wear: the 2010 Canadian Olympic Slacking Team shirt.

You can get red on white, red and white on black, or any number of other combinations. I think I’ll get the red-sleeved ball tee myself, as it’s pimp. As usual, if we get fifty pre-orders, we’ll do the run; if not, everybody gets their money back. For more information on our pre-orders, go here and check out the video at the bottom of the page. Shirts start at $18; you have until Feb 26. GO!

Is somebody doing science in here? [NOW CLOSED]

A question that has rung true throughout the ages, and will continue to do so if you pre-order our swanky new T-Shirt!

Our very talented and good looking Graham Stark designed this one of a kind upper body apparel, and he would very much like you to buy it.

Pre-Orders close tonight at 9PM PST (Monday Feb. 1, 2010)

Remember if you pre-order you can pick your style (Hoodie, Mens, Baby-doll or Long Sleeved) and colour (Black, Grey, Dark Blue) If you don’t pre-order you will still have a chance to pick this shirt up but only in Mens Black, and only standard sizes (Small, Medium, Large, X-Large and then a couple 2,3,4 X Large)

UPDATE: Pre-orders are now closed and we blew our target out of the water! So, if you ordered, rest well in the knowledge that we’ll be printing the run in the next week, and shipping everything out as soon as they’re ready. Thanks everyone!

It interesting to note that, like we said in that video, the vast majority of the shirts ordered were Unisex style, on black. Ha!

As Matt said below, one of the things we’ll be doing more of now is actually using this blog. Since it’s on the main page now, we’ve got less of an excuse not to.

We’ve just had a Monday, which—you’ll notice—is a big video publishing day for us with both LRR and Unskippable updating within a few hours of one another.

This week’s LRR video “The Job” is an episode we put together to introduce the rest of the Crew to our new, wider audience. The Escapist knows Paul and I pretty well, and are getting to know Jer and Kathleen from ENN, but Matt, James and Tim are largely unknown to them.

Additionally, this week’s Unskippable is Part 2 of our Last Remnant skewering. While we were writing the first episode, we realized there was just too much good content to cut and we’d have to make two episodes out of it. Don’t worry, we’re stopping at two—it’s no Metal Gear August. It should be mentioned that there are, indeed, more scenes between the end of Part 2 and actual gameplay, but you’ll have to get the game if you want to see them. I’d recommend against it.

Big news for fans of LRR shirts! Our new store is online and with it comes a new way to buy our shirts!

We’re really excited about it because it means we can offer lots of new designs, and not lose a bunch of cash printing shirts nobody wants to buy (I’m looking at you, WiiPlay shirt…)
