Writing Post - January

Hey folks,

Hope you all had a nice xmas / new year. I know today is a little bit depressing for a lot of peeps due to being back to Business As Usual now. Saying that - Most jobs I've ever had; I would get Christmas Day and Boxing Day off ...

Merry Christmas (and Happy New Year)

Hi folks,

Just a quick post to reiterate best holiday wishes and stuff. I know this year was (maybe) a little bit sad in terms of the channel stopping (and my eviction obviously) but onwards and upwards as they say.

I'm in the process...

Writing Post for December

Hi folks,

Here's some more stuff. See last months post for relevant disclaimers. lol. It's not actually my intention to upset or offend; Tis my intention to amuse. I might be failing at that miserably but still. It's the thought that co...

Writing Post for November

Hi folks,

Here's the next lot of stuff.

I feel like I need to write a bit of a disclaimer lol. This is supposed to be an Absurdist Fantasy Satire thing (the true meaning of the word 'Satire' - not like when Redditors just throw that...

Monthly Book Writing Posts

Hi folks,

Firstly - I've pivoted away and shelved the previous thing I was writing. I've reworked some scenes and ideas from it though. I'm now writing some kind of Absurdist Fantasy / Horror thing using some other ideas I had during the '...

For those that are interested...

Hey folks. How's it going? Long time; no speak.

I am now settled in a new place. It's not too bad (in some ways I like it even more than the last place I lived). Entirely possible that I have moved in opposite a drug-dealer though but I ...

Sad News

Hi folks,

I was going to wait til Monday to announce this but I think I'm better off just 'ripping the band-aid off' so to speak...

Unfortunately I received a (Section 21) No-Fault Eviction Notice from my landlady yesterday evening. ...

Early Access - Episode 5

Episode 5 complete and available to watch now. There's a gag in this one that made me 'ugly-laugh'. And it has been making me crack up at completely random, inappropriate times ever since. So I apologise if it does the same thing to you.

Early Access - Episode 4

Hey folks,

Here's the next one. Getting through these pretty quick. I'm not '#NoLife-ing' it; I'm just enjoying this process a lot more now. Due to hating the process for the last series (footage capture) so much. It's pretty crazy how m...

Early Access - Demon Soul Ch. 3

Hey folks,

Smashing it! Just to manage expectations; I probably won't be able to maintain this pace throughout the entire series butt... might as well just take advantage of my newfound ability to get through these early chapters fairly qui...

New Series will officially start tomorrow! (Plus Early Access for Ep. Two)

Hi folks,

Title says it all really. Here's Episode Two; nice and early. The aim is to maintain a 'one-a-week' pace for this series. In hindsight; I preferred doing it that way lol. Longer videos every two weeks is actually more stressful...

Early Access - Demon Soul 1

Hi peeps,

Apologies for the slight delay. Here's the first episode of the new series though. Completed.

Second episode is in progress. Ideally; this series will 'officially' begin as soon as the second episode is good to go. That's...

I may have got a bit carried away...

So... as is tradition, I just immediately worked on the next thing instead of taking a break. In my defence, I wanted to see how writing a script felt. If I had felt nothing but indolence and dread; It would have been insightful. At the very le...

Early Access - Chronicle Vol IV SuperCut

Hey folks,

Here's the link to the supercut over on YouTube. I had to share it this way because otherwise I would have had to upload the 87Gb video file twice and that would've taken a very long time and a lot of bandwidth.

Tis nearly ...

Early Access - Episode 16 (end of series)

Hi everyone,

Aaaaand we're done. Finally. Only took 7 months. Tbf - that was a lot of content though; I think people will be slightly surprised by how long the SuperCut ends up being (Probably at least 5 hours)

I shall now take a few d...

Audio Recording - Final Episode

Hey folks, here's the audio for the finale...

The structure of the Shadowlands part of this book has felt so... chaotic to me. Battle for Azeroth flowed really nicely. Everything felt like it led to the next thing. Whereas Shadowlands has...

Early Access - Episode 15

Hey folks,

Here's the next video finished for you to watch a few days early...

I tried to channel my defiance into the thumbnail design this time around lol. I mentioned in the Discord; I wanted to make a thumbnail that expressed my u...

Audio Recording - Episode... 15?

Hi folks. Here's the narration for the next one.

Difficult to 'guesstimate' how long this one will take to edit. A fair bit of it is cutscenes but then I also have to play through the entire Maldraxxus covenant campaign, a bunch of Torghas...

Early Access - Chronicle Ep. 14

Hi folks,

Here's the next one. Basically about as much effort as I was willing to put into this video.

Last time I felt like this was the final act of the Day of the Dragon series. I kinda feel like I deserve an Oscar for managing to m...

Audio Recording for Ep. 14

Hi folks,

This is as much as I'm willing / able to include for the next episode. I've gotta be honest; I think I have actually fully burned out lol. All the symptoms are there: Fatigue. Zero enthusiasm. Low / stand-off-ish mood. I fee...

Early Access - Chronicle Vol 4 Ep 13

Hey folks,

Here's the next one

Couple of parts where I feel like I may have been a bit lazy (just used random b-roll footage) but since Shadowlands, itself, does a lot of 'telling not showing'... it's kinda fitting really lol. It's mo...

Update

Hi all,

Just putting finishing touches on the next video. Should be up for Early Access tomorrow (for Patrons and YouTube Members). Unfortunately only managed to get through Bastion, Maldraxxus and Ardenweald before needing to just straigh...

YouTube Memberships!

Hi folks,

In an effort to improve available revenue streams; I submitted an application to YouTube for Memberships. That has been accepted. So now I just need to launch that...

There's just the one tier to start with. Tis £4.99 and...

Early Access - Chronicle Vol 4 Ep. 12

Hi folks,

Here's the next one. Decided to crack on through the weekend so that I can get this video out before patch 11.1 releases

I will probably spend this next week playing the new stuff. Or... from Wednesday (EU Reset Day) anyway...

Next Video Update

Hi peeps

Quick post to let you all know that I've pretty much put all the visuals into the next episode. Just gotta capture a bit more 'filler' footage for a visual gag and then animate characters and do text boxes and captions and stuff 2025-02-21 13:28:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Early Access - Episode 11

Hello.

This was a project and a half! Can't do videos like this too often or else I will very much burn out. But at least that's Battle for Azeroth finished now. Which just leaves Shadowlands. Huzzah!

Not heard any updates from You...

Update 2

Hey!

Bloody smashed it these past few days. I now have only a handful of bits of footage left to capture...

- Javelin of Suramar & Tidal Conflux quests in Nazjatar
- Eternal Palace Raid
- Darkshore Warfront

Basicall...

Update

Hi folks,

Script for Episode 11 is now finished. Haven't recorded it yet. It's almost 9000 words! I've so far captured footage for a whole bunch of things though:

- Uldir

- Alliance taking MOTHER to silithus quest

- All...

Early Access - Episode 10

Hello

I guess going back to the drawing board was a great idea. Tbf - I had already captured all of the in-game footage so it wasn't a complete reset. But it does make me laugh that I somehow managed to finish this episode faster than any ...

Back to the drawing board...

Hi folks,

I've recorded all the necessary in-game footage and subsequently realised I don't like the episode 10 script. lol

The Vol'dun bit is slightly incorrect anyway - just a small detail of Vorrik being the one with 2 keystones r...
