Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Ten

Hello,

I usually wait until Google Drive have fully processed the video before posting but I've been waiting for it to process for about 70 minutes and I've got other stuff to do.  lol.  If it's still not letting you watch it after a few more hours... let me know and I'll try and reupload the vid (cos it might...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Nine

Hello,

So that was a nice week off.  I think I would have been a bit stressed out and overwhelmed if I'd tried to balance Shadowlands launch with uploading vids to a schedule and shiz.

Mainly because you're not quite sure yet how to manage your time with dailies and weekly's.  Hell it took me probably 4 ...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Eight

Hey peeps,

Face pains eased off so I finally managed to record and finish the next vid.

It wouldn't be a Warcraft book without a vision sequence.  But do you know what I appreciate about this book?  It gets to the point.  It's not like we're gonna spend the next 20 chapters unravelling what that vis...

Quick Update

Hey peeps,

So my face nerve thing started kicking off again yesterday which is preventing me from being able to record the script for Chapter 8. (cos it hurts to talk and stuff).

I've already made a start on the visual stuff. It's difficult to get everything else done without the audio cos of timing though. 2020-11-18 12:35:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Seven

Hello,

Bloody council meetings are the bane of my existence in this series.  The Horde ones are bad enough with having to fit like ten characters into a scene but now we've got Zanchuli council meetings as well.  lol.

I've gotta actually say the word Zanchuli in Chapter 8 and guaranteed, no matter how I ...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Six

Hello

Here's next Tuesday's vid.  Tis a nice straight-forward one.  Unlike Chapter Seven... which has been a bit of a ball-ache to edit so far.

So... Surprise, surprise... getting a dislike on every video.  Which I kinda predicted.  

I would actually admire their dedication (considering t...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Five

Hello,

Here's Fridays video for you to watch early, if you want.  

I've kinda realised it starts like a kids show.  Especially with the plinky-plonky Zandalari music in the background.  I'm a little bit scared YouTube are gonna push it towards children even though I flag my videos as 'Not Made For K...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Four

Good morning / evening / whatever time it is in your neck of the woods...

Here's next Tuesday's video for you lovely patrons to enjoy early. 

Some of the WoW books definitely feel like they take quite a while to reveal where the plots actually headed.  Whereas this one feels like it's set everything up f...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Three

Hello!

Bit of a short one, unfortunately.  And also kinda not funny at all.  But it does advance the plot, somewhat.  

I feel like I get dangerously close to sounding like I'm doing a Troll voice for Bwonsamdi without meaning to.   He's literally written in the book as saying "Fa'da" and s...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter Two

Alright mates!

Here's next Tuesday's video for you to watch early.  I like this; it's got that Saturday morning cartoon feel to it.  Except with poisonings and people stabbing themselves in the gut.

So, as expected, I got about 3 comments (from people I've never seen comment before) moaning about Madelei...

Early Access - Shadows Rising - Chapter One

Hello,

So here's the next one.  Probably one of the most 'technical' vids I've made - at least for a while anyway.  Kinda realised I couldn't squeeze that many characters into one 'shot' so I had to get a bit creative.  

I don't actually get embarrassed by much nowadays (on account of being 32) but ...

Extra-Early Access - Shadows Rising Prologue

Hey peeps,

Look what I just finished.  Not gonna lie - I'm feeling pretty good about how this turned out.  Which is why I'm putting it up so early.  Cos I'm excited lol.

Starting a new series is always a bit difficult.  Not only do I get the ol' imposter syndrome and think... "What if the last ...

Update (Plus a new script)

Hello,

Just a boring text update.  I've made a start on putting the Illidan SuperCut together this morning.  And by 'made a start' I mean... I've rendered 1 of the 31 parts so far.  lol.  It takes a while.  I did actually get a comment on Friday from someone asking why I upload 31 videos instead...

Early Access - Chapter 31 (Finale)

Surprise!

I had a power cut yesterday for like 7 hours which very nearly threw a spanner in the works for my sneaky plan.  But luckily... I've had an extremely productive day today.

See... what I'm gonna do is... I'm gonna upload Chapter 30 tomorrow at the usual time...  (Apologies to Travis B Champion f...

Early Access - Chapter Thirty

Hello

So... Chapter 29 is gonna go up on the channel in a few hours and I'm scared cos it's really short.  I suppose I could say "well it's pre-patch day so I thought I'd be nice and demand less of your time".  But that's a lie.  The chapters just short.  Nothing I could do about it.

This one i...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Nine

Hello

So this one is almost unacceptably short.  Which is why I put a pig in it for no reason.  Go on... be honest... "Get back you swines" is the best worst joke you've ever seen.

It's weird - I know it's only the third novel that will be completed (soon) on the channel but I get this 'end of an era' fe...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Eight

Hey peeps,

Here's the next one for you to watch early.  Bit of spoils in the auto-generated thumbnail from Google Drive there.  Soz mates - Nothing I can do about it.

I'm always a bit worried about these shorter chapters.  Especially when they're a bit filler-ish.  Cos if there's anyone out the...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Seven

Hey peeps,

Here's next Tuesdays vid for you to watch a whole 3 days early (because you're all awesome).

So Blizz went ahead and delayed.  That's probably a good thing.  Although, based on the statement they put out (and the fact that the pre-patch is going up on 13th Oct) I don't imagine it'll be a long ...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Six

Hello.

Here's the next one for you to watch early if you want to.  There's a little weird bit right at the end of the Outro but I imagine most people will have clicked off the video before they get to that bit.  It was kinda funny when I listened back to it so I left it in.

So... lots of peeps speculatin...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Five

Sup bruhs,

I was kinda dreading having to do a full on Illidan monologue.  But, in a book called Illidan, it was inevitably going to happen eventually, I guess.

Bloody full of exposition though, ain't he?  Weird to wait til near the end of the book to say all that.  I mean... I assume most people al...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Four

Hey,

How's it going?  Here's a bloody early thing for you to watch... early.

I ended up getting Marvel's Avengers.  lol.  Only took a week before I was like... "Oh sod it".

You know what?  I don't hate it.  Campaign is pretty solid.  Some of the characters are more fun to play t...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Three

Hello

I don't know if Patreon's down or what... but for some reason it's not letting me embed the video link in the usual way.  Hopefully this still works.

Early Access - Chapter Twenty Two

Hello,

I got a bit carried away with the social commentary in this one.  Mainly cos... last weekend in the UK... there were huge crowds of people rushing to the pubs cos some new rules about social gatherings came in yesterday.  And uhhh... it just kinda annoyed me.  lol.  The pubs aren't even closin...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty One

Hello.

Here's the next video for you to watch early and stuff.  It's action-packed.  Well... the second half is anyway.

My Illidan voice has gone a bit weird.  I think I've lost it.  Probably just thinking too much when i'm recording.  I just need to chill out and hopefully it'll come back...

Early Access - Chapter Twenty

Hello!

Google Drive seems to be taking bloody ages to process videos recently.  But here's Fridays video for you to watch early (if you want to).  It's kinda fun.  I mean... it's Maiev stuck in a cell the whole time but I tried to be a bit creative with it.

Anybody played that Avengers game?  I...

Early Access - Chapter Nineteen

Hello,

Managed to finish Tuesday's video already cos it's a short one again.  I still struggle to gauge how long these videos are gonna be when writing the scripts.    

But... even though it's short... it's got a visual gag in it that's really immature and gross and I'm really proud of it. &nbs...

Early Access - Chapter Eighteen

Hello,

Here's Fridays video for you to watch early, if you want.

I can't believe Shadowlands is coming out next month.  I was half expecting them to delay it til beginning of next year but then I guess testing has actually gone pretty smoothly.  

I'm a little bit worried because the minimum system ...

Early Access - Chapter Seventeen

G'morning...

Short and sweet post today cos I've gotta rush out and help someone move house today.  Naturally I stayed up too late and got a bit drunk last night so... I feel ill now.  

I'm good at that.  Cos i'm an idiot.

Anywho - hope you enjoy the vid.  Have a good weekend, peeps. &nbs...

Here's a thing...

Sup fools. lol.  I dunno why I just called you fools; I apologise.  What a weird and inappropriate way to greet people...

Anyway - I know i'm supposed to be taking a break but here's the audio for Chapter 17.  I'll do a proper Early Access post for the finished video next weekend.  But hopefully this...

Early Access plus Update

Hey peeps,

Seems pretty mid-season finale-ish so I think this is a good point to take a break.  I kinda need it.  So it's entirely up to you if you watch this one early as it'll be a bit of a wait til the next one.

The main reason why I'm thinking it's break time is cos I'm getting dangerously close to f...
