IDDQDERP is Alex's show on LoadingReadyLive, typically streaming at 2 PM PST/5 PM eastern. The show's basic premise is that "watching Alex play games is its own pastime" - whatever game Alex is playing, he often reacts to the events therein violently and creatively.

Alex is frequently joined by a wingman, usually Graham or Cameron. The combination of Alex and Cameron in particular is widely known for producing intensely dark and morbid humor.

The name of the show comes from the "God Mode" cheat code in DOOM, the graphical style of which is also emulated by the show's logo.

Games

Metro: Last Light

Starting from launch day, Alex played Metro: Last Light, finishing the game before the end January.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

For the rest of January, Alex played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, a survival-horror shooter game. He typically played it with the L.U.R.K. mod enabled, which added some graphical enhancements and modified the gameplay to emphasize the survival-horror aspects more.

In January, Alex performed a bonus stream with Graham and Cameron to play a game known as Prayer Warriors: All Out for God. The game is a first-person shooter created by FamilyPCGames.com with some assets lifted from Quake and other as of yet unidentified sources. The player collects the pieces of the armor of God as well as scriptural passages and "spiritual ammo" while on a quest to save children from "Simon B. Goth's Wizard University". Alex described it multiple times as "the most terrifying game he has ever played". The session has grown exceedingly popular in its own right; YouTube archive has more than four times as many hits as a typical video on the LoadingReadyLive channel and the lines "stand against the devil!" and "watch and pray" from song on game's soundtrack have become memes in the LoadingReadyLive chat.
