CEX + CreepyShirt Pre-order
January 10th, 2011

Posted by Matt

Live from the show-floor at CEX, its this week’s video!

So the inspiration for this week’s video should be pretty obvious. Like most tech geeks, the Consumer Electronics show always has the LRR crew’s interest. Dangle some shiny new gizmo in front of us, and we’re sure to take note, if not totally fill our collective pants with fanboyish lust. That said, the endless spec sheets and prototype devices are ripe for the riffing. So that’s what we did. Enjoy.

Unskippable this week was Enslaved. You can find that here.

In other important news, we’ve started pre-orders on our brand-new shirt!

Have you ever wanted to inflict cold dread on strangers by forcing them to look at a spectre of doom and creepiness displayed proudly on your shirt? Finally, you can!

The LoadingReadyRun creepy doll shirt has been custom designed for extreme creeping. Choose your options – the ‘Full Face’ design for classic menacing, or the ‘Eyes & Mouth’ design for those interested in stealth creeping. For delicate types interested in a more feminine creep, we also offer the limited edition ‘Ms. Creepy Doll’ shirt, printed on quality American Apparel Classic Girl shirts. As an additional pre-order bonus, each shirt comes with a delightful creepy doll patch, which you can affix to a variety of items to give them a +3 intimidation score.

Note: We have switched to offering girl’s t-shirts on American Apparel Classic Girl shirts – they’re much longer in the torso than the Gildan Softstyle and tend to fit slightly larger because of this. Please refer to the new sizing chart to determine your size.

Additionally, owing to the small (aka: exclusive!) print runs we produce, and costs of materials etc, we’ve had to raise new shirt prices to $20. Sorry guys, it is what it is. Creepiness this good is worth it.

Pre-orders will be available on the LRR store for 21 days (until January 31st).

Cheers!

Getting In Touch
December 28th, 2010

Posted by Matt

Your inner “guy who likes funny videos” implores you to watch this week’s update.

This video was written by Paul, and I think he’s tapped in to a topic with which we can all relate, so enjoy. Keep your eyes out, too, there are a few references in this video that you should be on the lookout for. Keep your eyes sharp.

Big thanks to Cmaeon for the use of their offices for this shoot. If there’s one thing we always need it’s a convincing office/cubicle set – and what better way to be convincing than to use a real offices and cubicles? Thanks again!

Unskippable this week was Vanquish. Check it here.

Cheers!

Santa Secrets, Creepydoll auction, and more!
December 21st, 2010

Posted by Matt

Merry [insert winter festival of your choice here]! We have a gift for you right here.

Yes indeed, as the last update before Christmas, this week marks our yearly christmas episode, and this time round it’s a holiday Hustle. The crew has decided to run a game of secret santa – how will it end?

More importantly than this week’s video though is the news that the auction for Creepydoll #31 is currently underway. As of this posting the standing bid is $500, with 62 hours left to go. Remember, this is the very last creepydoll, and all proceeds will go directly to Childs Play. This Creepydoll comes with all the festive paraphernalia he’s stolen from the other holidays, so the winner of this item 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
  • an original Littlest Reaper comic drawn by Kathleen during Desert Bus 4

[*These are fake food items, made from polymer clay and not meant for actual consumption.]

The set also comes with a Creepy Doll coffee cup sleeve, and, if the auction crets a $1000 donation, the winnier will also get their choice of any one of Tally’s stuffed pigs.

There’s only 62 hours left. Don’t miss out! Place your bid here.

Unskippable this week was 007 Blood Stone. You can find it here.

Cheers!

Ways to Avoid Christmas
December 15th, 2010

Posted by Matt

Bah humbug!

If you’re anything like the LRR crew, you hold the conviction that Christmas and it’s various trappings should, in general, be confined strictly to the month of December. Unfortunately it seems like the rest of the world isn’t on the same page as the LRR crew, and so we bring you this handy guide to give you a few ideas about how you too can avoid the Christmas creep. We realize, of course, that in order to be of any use to you this year this video would have had to have gone online sometime back around the first of September, but so steadfast are we in our unwillingness to let Christmas bleed into other times of year that we had to wait until now to release it. At least there’s next year.

Unskippable this week was Beowulf. You can find it here.

Decadent Sports League
November 9th, 2010

Posted by Matt

You can’t possibly afford to compete, but perhaps you should consider tuning in to today’s recap of the first annual Decadent Sports League Championships.

Well, that’s not entirely true, you could probably afford to participate in the chess events.

This particular video was filmed over several days and at several different locations throughout town. The most notable of these is the human-sized chess board located down by the Selkirk waterfront and trestle bridge (here). It’s one of the more scenic places in town. It used to be mostly industrial, and somewhat rundown, but in the last decade or so has seen some major urban renewal, and is now home to some very nice condos, trendy coffee shops, and warterfront park space. Also, inexplicably, a giant chess board.

Filming the scenes we did proved a little tricky, as we were within sight of the Galloping Goose trail, a major recreational and transportation (cycle, foot) route though town. Naturally, we had a whole bunch of prop weapons, which we were trying to keep on the down-low, but it’s hard not to attract attention when you’ve got a bunch of goofy looking folks playing with swords on a concrete chess board. Ultimately, we ended up having to shoot around a few interested parties trying to watch us, and one fellow who rolled up on his bike and started trying to chat with us.

It was an adventure to say the least.

Unskippable this week was White Knight Chronicles Part 2, and it can be found here.

Cheers!
