Hogfather Early Birdies!

Wait, what do you mean nobody outside the UK knows about these shows? Wait, you haven't heard of the books either? OK...well...let's talk about Susan and Teatime anyways. Or: an episode about why slash fic of enemies is such a thing in visual media.

The Liaden Universe Early Bird!

It's time for another book review/recommendation/that sort of thing. Complete with amazingly 90s cover art. Happy beginning-of-Advent, all. :)

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Vlog: Y U No YouTube Comments?

Hello Patron(use)s! And welcome to new Patron Martin! Glad to have you all, you rock. OK, what have I been doing recently? Well...mostly I've been taking 3.5 hours of German class a day and caretaking my sick cat. Oh, and I made this video. The missing cat I mention in said video? Is back, but in very rough shape. I will post ...

106: Iron Man 3

I love Tony Stark. I really do. And also, his hypermasculine ideal has been crumbling for 3 movies now. So let's talk about that.

Thor The Dark World

Yeah, let's do this...somewhat underwhelming film. Hm. BUT OUTSIDE! In the fresh air!

The Internet! The Internet! It's back! (Which is to say that I'll actually be more available for, you know, answering questions in these ol' comments sections or generally getting things uploaded at convenient times rather than "I have a window for using a computer with a fast connection, UPLOAD UPLOAD UPLOAD!" How's everyone d...

Galaxy Quest!

The cheer-up powers of this movie should never be underestimated. Also, I talk about the placebo effect, which is totally awesome and weird.

Galaxy Quest Early Bird!

Because other people believing things about you can change how you act. And that's pretty freaky. Also: Star Trek parodies ftw. I'm trying it out on YouTube unlisted to see if that works better than Blip. Let me know!

Q&A early bird!

http://blip.tv/stuffyoulike/extra-q-a-7044735 Password is "questions" I hope it works, as I have to go off the Internet again now. If not, I'm very sorry, I will make it up to you somehow, and it goes public tomorrow at midnight EST. Soon, prec...

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Ask me stuff!

I'm going to be doing a Q&A video in a while (possibly to celebrate when we get Internet in the new house) so I will be answering questions! Leave your question here (keep it G-rated, obv) and tell me if you want your name attached. I'll be trying to get through all the questions I'm asked, but obviously you guys and gals ge...

Plus Points 9: Apocalypse

This series is Sheryl Sandberg's fault. No, I'm serious. Last autumn, I read Lean In, which asked 'What would you do if you weren't afraid?' And my answer was, 'Make a theology series'. A year later and...it's done. So many people worked so hard on it, made animations and title cards and corrected scripts and rewrote lines and...

Where Have You BEEN? A summary of my month.

Dearest Patrons, You may have been wondering where I've been for the last...umm...while. Or not. But regardless, I'm going to tell you anyway! I have been: 1. In Merry OIde Englande, at ALCon in Leicester (super fun) 2. Buying and assembling furniture for my new house (less fun, but vital) 3. Doing my taxes (meh) 4. Sorting...

Labyrinth 2nd Look Early Bird!

Let's go old school.

Women & Geek Culture: Jill Bearup & Sofie Liv at ALCon 2014

At the start of September, Sofie Liv (of agonybooth.com) and I went to ALCon, an awesome anime convention held in De Montfort University, Leicester. There we had a panel on Women and Geek Culture. These are the highlights. :D

102: Stardust

Oh, Tristan, you're as interesting as porridge oats.

A quasi-useful update! I've been away the last week at ALCon, an Anime League Convention held every year at De Montfort University, Leicester (England, not any of the other ones). It was brilliant, I did a couple of panels, one of them (or maybe both) may eventually appear online. This week I'm moving house. Next week I am ...

Stardust Early Bird

Password is 'boring'. Because that, my friends, is my opinion of Tristan.

SYL 101: Clueless

Yes indeed, finally an actual episode to watch! Yay! This week: Emma, Cher, class struggle, and plaid. Lots of plaid.

Clueless Early Bird!

Password is whatever Because I'm unimaginative. :) Enjoy, early birds!

Bye bye Facebook Page!

Quick video about the imminent demise of Stuff You Like's almost-late and totally unlamented Facebook page. :)

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Guess who's getting some new editing software next month? THIS GIRL! Thank you all SO MUCH for your patronage. Awesomeness abounds.

What Size Is Your Mirror?

New blog post! In which I ramble about online video and all that entails.

Fix-it Fic and the Star Wars EU

I get interesting questions about fix fic. I relate them to Star Wars. Because why not.

Plus Points 8: Epistles

Oh yeah, we're back. You wouldn't believe that we shot this, all of this, in January, would you? I know! But hey, the collaborative efforts of some really amazing people have gone into this, and I hope that it shows. Epistles is the penultimate episode in this series on religion and faith and theology and...mostly the Bible, ...

Hello Patrons! Patroni? Patronuses? I know which it's supposed to be, but you can be a Patronus if you want, I will not judge. This is my first patrons-only post: Only You Guys Can See This. So hello! And welcome! And thank you! And many exclamation marks!!!! (a sure sign of madness) You are wonderful people, and I appreciate y...

Stuff You Like 100: Frozen

Ah, episode 100. Such a lot of fun to film that opening number. And such obliging friends I have, to agree to yell at me in it!
