Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh… We’re going to have to ask you to move… on over to The Escapist to watch this week’s video!

As you have no doubt already guessed, this was a Kathleen video. Upon presenting it to the crew, she expressed some trepidation that it was too offensive or too over the top. Personally, I don’t think it is. It’s just the perfect amount of off-colour. It’s the “creamy eggshell” to our normally “arctic” white. Go, watch, enjoy – the send-up in this video is one, I’m sure we can all get behind!

When you’ve finished, feel free to kick back, and flip on this On The Run video, to watch as you enjoy the warm afterglow of hilarity:

Unskippable this week was “Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom”. Yeah, I know, I’ve never heard of it either, but apparently it exists. I honestly don’t know wat system it’s on. If you want to puzzle over the question yourself, head on over and check out the video.

Finally, you should know that we have extended the creepy-doll pre-order period for 7 more days to give you a little more time to add some terror to your wardrobe (that isn’t a function of how woefully out of style it is). Add this creepy shirt to your life for all kinds of friend & family disconcerting fun! Pre-order it here.

Cheers!

This week’s video is up and it’s brought to you by Jack Plank’s Pork Fried Butt Steak! Watch it NOW!

This week’s video is a pretty straightforward parody of Spike TV. It is my understanding that many of our international viewers have not witnessed the atrocity that is Spike TV. Rest assured, this video is far more entertaining. Once Upon a time, Spike was a one-stop shop for programming blocks of Star Trek: The Next Generation and CSI (this was ’round about the time everyone loved CSI). Sadly, this is no longer the case. It’s now a one stop shop for shows like ‘1000 ways to die’, ‘Manswers’ and terrible off-brand wrestling programs. Yeah.

Unskippable this week was Fist of the North Star, so go watch it, and prepare to be hit with a Hokuto Shinken of hilarity.

And don’t forget – there’s only a couple of days left to order a Creepy Doll shirt. Don’t miss out!

Cheers!

This week’s update is up, and let me tell you, we’ve whipped up a real treat! This isn’t just some half-assed video! No Sir, we’ve been slaving away, and making use of the heights of modern technology to bring you the LoadingReadyRun CD-ROM game, and we’ve done everything we can to make the experience feel as authentic as possible! Can you help the crew overcome their difficulties and film a video? You should really give it a try! Just click here!

Unskippable this week is Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. You can watch that here.

Finally, a quick reminder that there are 14-days left in the pre-order period for creepydoll shirts. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to terrorize your friends, pre-order one today!

Cheers!

Creepy Doll #31 Needs a Home
December 16th, 2010

Posted by Matt

AUCTION NOW LIVE

The Creepy Doll is back! Again! The bad news is: this means that the Desert Bus auction winner of Creepy Doll #31 has mysteriously backed out of the bid, making Tally’s craftsy bunny ears droop with sadness. The GOOD news is: this gives all of you one last chance to own the last of this limited run of terrifyingly adorable dolls.

This is your official stand-up-and-take-notice warning that we will be silent auctioning Creepy Doll #31 next week. Starting at 12am on Monday, Dec. 20 and going until midnight on Thursday, Dec. 23, the Creepy Doll will be up for auction online, with proceeds being donated to Child’s Play (naturally). Watch this blog and the Desert Bus and LoadingReadyRun twitter accounts for further details as to where the bidding will take place.

Keep in mind, this is a very special Creepy Doll. Not only is he the 31st of only 30 numbered dolls, he also comes with all the festive paraphernalia he’s stolen from the other holidays. His hands even have velcro sewn on so he can hold these items. The winner of this auction will receive:

– the 31st Creepy Doll (numbered on the bottom)
– his scythe
– a Valentine’s Day box of chocolates*
– a St. Patrick’s Day 4-leaf clover
– a Thanksgiving drumstick*
– a Christmas Santa hat
– a Halloween pumpkin
– and a special Creepy Doll coffee cup sleeve, so he can stare accusingly as you drink your morning coffee or tea. Do you really need that much honey?

Bonus: Because this is a very special auction, and because she’s been at her incessant crafting again, Tally is going to sweeten the pig… with a pig! Should the bidding for the doll reach $1000, the winner will also receive his or her choice of one of the three plush pigs pictured below, also crafted by Tally, in post-event honour of Desert Bus.

So your instructions are: Read blog, bid on doll, get pig.

A Creepy Doll of Your Very Own
October 29th, 2010

Posted by Matt

The creepy dolls are coming. They’re coming for you. Staring into your soul. Their vacant eyes, beckoning you. You must resist. You can’t resist. It’s too late. They’re already in your mind.

Since the dolls have invaded your mind, you may as well let them invade your house too. As part of a very special (and extremely limited) Halloween run we’re bringing these hand-made (and individually numbered) creepy dolls to the store. There are only 6 (selling fast!) of them to be ordered, so don’t hesitate or you’ll miss out!

Ordering has the additional advantage of letting Graham get back to work. He’s refused to set foot in the office ever since we brought these in, so we need to get them gone if you ever want to see another video again.

You can register your pre-order here on the LRR Store. The order window is open for the next 14 days, but I can guarantee you they’ll have disappeared long before then. Don’t delay!

SOLD OUT!!! Thanks for you orders!
