New LRR Series! (The Escapist News Network)

[Graham]

Respecting that not everyone was at PAX (or reads my Twitter account) I figured we should announce this here:

LRR has a brand new weekly series premiering this week on The Escapist.



ENN, the Escapist News Network, is a weekly video gaming news show.
Except funny. You know... like we do.

Kind of like "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" for games.
What's that? You're not from Canada and have no idea what "This Hour" is? Yeah, we figured that.
Okay, it's kinda like the Daily Show... a bit.

It launches this Wednesday (the same day you're going there to watch Zero Punctuation anyway, right?) so, check it out and let us know what you think!

[Arius]

Officially announced finally. Congrats! I'm excited for this.

Suppose this means I'll have more reasons to not study.

[Cade Antilles]

Fantastic! I can't wait to see it!

I'd heard from a friend who was at PAX tell me a little bit, but he refused to give me any specifics. I'm glad I finally got to hear about it fo' real.

[CtMolloy]

Sounds cool! I'll surely watch.
Or at least try to remember to... I'm sure i will see it pretty soon at least

[Master Gunner]

Finally....

Congratulations though.

[magentahaze]

Awesome!! I'll totally be checking it out.

[steelfox]

I hope the series continues the awesomeness contained in the pilot.

Can't wait!

[Lord Chrusher]

I look forward to watching this once I get some where with a large supply of internet. I have had to ration my supply of internet while I have been traveling.

[WobblyTable]

Woo! I can't wait till Wednesday.

[Bruze&Badder]

This just in: Internet comedy uber-sensations Loading Ready Run have just expanded their epicness in geometric proportions. More on that story Wednesday. We now return you to your daily phail.

[Shandi]

I'm looking forward to it, too! Glad to see LRR prosper, mostly because it means more video joy for me. Will it be something like the G.I. Joe video? (I freakin' love This Hour.)

[Chemistring]

Huzzah! I'm looking forward to this! One question though - Did you get James Earl Jones to say "This is ENN"?

Or at least Edward James Olmos?

[Master Gunner]

For those not following Graham's twitter, here's a quick preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER0h-hFzz_w

No but they did recently put up a small trailer for it.

[Cade Antilles]

THAT TRAILER IS EPIC!

[Metcarfre]

I'm very excited for this.

That being said, I want to say this in the most respectful and tactful way possible. Graham, please have your hair cut and styled. The cowlicks... dear God, the cowlicks!

[Graham]

I'm getting a haircut, no worries.

[Metcarfre]

HUZZAH!

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'm getting a haircut, no worries.

And a beardcut also?

[Graham]

I don't care if it's not newscasterly, the beard stays.

I'm playing myself, so... pff.

[Alja-Markir]

Also, beards were totally newcasterly in the past. It's only the modern, slick, corporate look of today that says no to beards.

Look back to the seventies. Awesome beardage everywhere.

~Alja~

[Genghis Ares]

Sweetness.

Is this that Resident Evil thing you guys did a few months back, or is this something else?


Also, Go Beards.

[James]

Something else.

[Graham]

Cool. Then I'm a 70s newsman. I'm okay with that.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I've nothing against beards, I'm trying to grow something of one myself, just looks a bit untidy. Not hugely untidy to the point I think you'll lost viewers, just a bit. Needs a comb or something, I dunno.
