Official Return to Ravnica Preview Card!
September 12th, 2012

Posted by Graham

The kind folks at Wizards of the Coast have given us our own real, actual Return to Ravnica preview card!

Check it out, as we painfully slow-roll the reveal in this video:

Fairy Godparent
September 10th, 2012

Posted by Kathleen

This monday’s three fresh videos are:

Loading Ready Run: Fairy Godparent
Unskippable: The Witcher 2, Part 2
CheckPoint: Games for Windows, or Not 

For your additional viewing pleasure, the most recent Feed Dump and Loading Time are:

Feed Dump: The Leaning Henge of Rome
Loading Time: Put it on McDebit

I’d like to think that even if Labyrinth style Goblin King abductions were a possibility (they are not, due to budgetary reasons) Jareth would be pretty unimpressed with the main character of this video.

“Maybe just leaver her in the oubliette,” he would say.

As always, if you have questions about this week’s LRR video, leave them in the comments so I can make sure they get covered in this week’s Loading Time article!

Ways to Prepare For PAX
August 27th, 2012

Posted by Kathleen

It’s Monday and we have three fresh videos for you!

LoadingReadyRun: Ways to Prepare For PAX
Unskippable: Drakan: The Ancients’ Gates
Checkpoint: On Blackest Isle

This week’s LRR video was a lot of fun to shoot. My personal title was “How to Ready Your Body for PAX”, but I think pretty much everyone agrees that is a bad title.

Anyhow… This week’s video also features a ridiculous parody scene. I won’t reveal what it is, but suffice to say that if you get it, you’ll be howling with laughter, but you probably had to be sentient in the early 90s to understand why it is funny.

Remember, if you have any questions about this week’s LRR video, leave them in the comments so I can address them when I write the weekly Loading Time column.

Midweek Madness – Bald Dump and an Oily Loading Time
August 23rd, 2012

Posted by Kathleen

Midweek update madness!

Feed Dump: Bald Men Hotspots
Loading Time: Vintage Housing

And for even more excitement, two recent Vidcasts you might have missed!

Live Vidcast from August 4 and the LRRcast for Occupied

Check out the Loading Time article on The Escapist for more information on how we rented the costumes and found the perfect location for Snake Oil.

And since I have your attention, did you know most of the LRR crew are on Twitter? You can follow Graham, James, Matt, Jer and myself if that’s the kind of thing you like. There’s also an official LRR Twitter account and one just for our Magic: The Gathering habit.
