Interrupt This Program
June 6th, 2011

Posted by Matt

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you… your regularly scheduled programming.

This is, perhaps, one of our weirder videos, and perhaps a bit of a long walk for the punchline, but I think it works well. It’s Alex’s physical acting that really sells this video – and he knocked it out of the park, which is doubly impressive because he made it up as he went along on the day of filming.

My contribution to the video was shot back before my most recent haircut. The mop is now gone, and much more manageable. My newsdesk character apparently really didn’t give a f***.

Unskippable this week is Mad World. You can find that here on the Escapist.

Additionally, today’s episode of checkpoint is up at PATV.

Cheers!

Ransom

I have kidnapped your girlfriend! Now do as I say, and watch this week’s video if you want to see her again!

Today’s video features one of the more ridiculous scenarios I’ve been a party to filming. I’m not sure quite what the relationship between LeFarge and Ethan is in this video, nor what event set their rivalry in motion. What do these fellows do when they’re not engaging in felony-related hijinks? That’s a very good question.

As has become the standard for any video in which we require a somewhat seedy-underbelly style location for a shoot, we shot this sketch in the basement of the Victoria Event Centre. It’s a great place, but that basement most definitelty meets all of one’s unsavory-location needs.

A big thanks also to Graham’s mother for playing the role of Ethan’s mother the video. There no one who can bring ‘Graham’s mom’ to a role quite like Graham’s mom herself.

Checkpoint this week is titled “Patently Silly” and can be found here on PATV.

As of the writing of this post today’s Unskippable isn’t yet live, but I’ll update with a link when it’s online.

Cheers!

Past Mistakes
May 23rd, 2011

This week’s video is up, and you can find it here.

Our good friend Cam makes a return in this video, playing one of the more magnificent bastards I’ve ever seen. The video was scripted some time ago, and Kathleen asked if I wanted to read through it one evening when we were hanging out. Given the people that happened to be present at the time it fell to Cam to read a part, and from that point forward we knew he had to be in the video.

The video was shot in several locations over the course of two days. Locations include a laboratory that we were granted access to by a friend, UVic (of course) and our own office.

Unskippable this week is Venetica – Part 1. You can find that here.

Also, Checkpoint Episode 3 is Up on PATV.

Cheers!

Announcing: CheckPoint on PATV
May 9th, 2011

Posted by Graham

Happy Monday everyone!

We’re extra-super thrilled to announce the premiere of our new series, CheckPoint, and its home on Penny Arcade TV.

A whole bunch of you loved ENN, and we loved making it, so when the opportunity came to produce a similar series for PATV, we were very happy to get back behind the news desk.

CheckPoint is the first weekly series on PATV, and it joins Unskippable and LRR as Monday updates, just to add a little front-load to your week’s dose of video content.

The same team that wrote and produced ENN (Graham, Kathleen, Jeremy and Paul) is back with a fresh coat of paint (literally), and we hope you’re as excited to see our unique take on gaming news return as we are to bring it back.

So remember, Mondays: Check in, at the CheckPoint!

Bonus news!

CheckPoint brings with it a brand new theme song by LRR’s maestro of awesome, Bradley Rains. And so we’re also very pleased to announce the LRR Music Store will be going online today—finally, a place for you to buy all the wonderful little songs and musical pieces Bradley and others have done over the years.

Look for more info on that here, once everything’s online.

But wait, there’s more!

As we’ve been hinting on the LoadingReadyRun Twitter account, CheckPoint is one of two shows “replacing” ENN. Another new series will be premiering on The Escapist in the near future, watch for more info very soon.
