Early in 2003 two guys named Graham and Paul figured making a website where they could show off some of their videos would be a good idea. Several months later, when they remembered the idea, they started work on it. After a couple design concepts, they settled on LoadingReadyRun, inspired in name and appearance by the Commodore 64 home computer system from the '80s. See, they're also big geeks. More than just showing off their few previous works, Graham and Paul decided to make new videos. Lots of new videos. Like, one every week. As well as being big geeks, they also make very poor and ambitious decisions.

More than thirteen years later Graham and Paul with their friends now produce a wide range of video series and podcasts as well as over 30 hours a week of Twitch streams. LoadingReadingRun started, and supports, Desert Bus for Hope, an annual fundraiser for Child's Play which is the oldest and most successful video game marathon.

The wiki collates the People who have contributed in some way over the years and the content produced by LoadingReadyRun, notably in Filmographies and Video content.

Featured Article - Evil Inc.

LoadingReadyRumble.png

Evil Inc. is a fictional evil organization, formerly Evil Corp., headed by a nameless leader played by Paul. He is vexed by chairs that won't rotate and ambiguous instructions. RapStar 64K, the leader asked James' hacker character to rig the show for "the gorgeous one," but ended up rigging it for Killabyte. The only other permanent employee is Graham as a henchman who is marginally more sensible. Graham wore an afro wig in his first appearance as the henchman "for no reason." Spot the Dog first appeared on the leader's desk in Jangles and Jones Save Christmas.
