Flying Buttress

Hello

Hey peeps.

Managed to get the next video's audio recorded.  I'm still in a bit of pain so it may be a little while longer but I'm hoping to be back to the normal schedule of videos soon.  If not Tuesday then definitely Friday.

Thanks for sticking around - I've been very conscious that I've been quiet for the past week.  But hopefully we can get back to regular updates...

Hello

Here's Friday's Narration / Commentary / Voice-Over... or whatever you wanna call it.  

I knew I was getting close to finishing Volume 3 but there's literally only about 20 pages left and that scares me.  Here's hoping they bring a Volume 4 out next year.   Cos obviously... i'm not gonna continue the Chronicle series without Chronicle!  You guys saw the later seas...

Before I forget...

Hey everybody!

Here's Tuesdays voice-over.  Up a bit earlier than usual cos I'm off out for the day to visit my Grandma (she just had a knee replacement).  She also has a pace-maker so I'm pretty sure she's a cyborg now.

Also... sometimes these audio recordings start with like 5-10 seconds of silence (which i sometimes forget to remove before uploading on here).  

Audio for Friday

Hello.

Sorry about the weird popping sounds in this one.  I'm gonna have to get a new mic soon.   

People seem to be a lot less forgiving about sound quality than video quality nowadays so I will probably have to re-record a few bits.    I dunno why I just said that.  It was probably really boring to read.  Soz mates.

Anywho...  See...

Things are going pretty well...

Hey peeps.

Here's the narration for Tuesday's video.   

The bit at the start is kinda relevant to a video Skoll Shorties has planned soon - He's asked a few content creators to comment on whether we think Thrall cheated in his Mak'Gora against Garrosh in WoD (I don't think he did) and I know some folks are probably gonna suggest Garrosh cheated in his Mak'Gora against Cair...

New Audio

I'm getting good at this.  Here's Friday's audio - I dunno if peeps are interested in listening to these or if they prefer to wait until the whole things finished.  

I may have to use the "Alright Mates" and a couple of other bits from the last video because there are currently other people in my house and I still feel weird recording when people can hear me.  Even though I...

Tomorrow's Audio

Hey peeps.  

Here's the audio for tomorrow's vid.  I have only just been able to record it because yesterday was one of those days where I just had absolutely no energy whatsoever.  But I should still be able to finish the video in time.

See ya!

Another one...

Making promises scares me because I don't like letting people down but I'm hoping I can start regularly uploading the audio recordings in advance for you guys.   

Here's the audio for Friday's Vid - The Argent Tournament / Fall of the Lich King.

Early Access (Sort of) - Secrets of Ulduar / The Titan Fail-Safe

Hey Peeps.

I figured since I've got the audio recorded already, I'd share it with you all.  This is gonna be Tuesday's video (I'm still working on the Worgen one but it's taking some time). 

Might be a bit weird without the video side of things but still.  

Also... I've been thinking about how I go into detail about the dungeon and raid boss fights.  I'm no...

Time off again

Hey peeps. How's it going.

So I've been burning the candle at both ends. And my initial plan was to skip Tuesday but be back Friday. Cos of life stuff.

However, I've been working on Fridays video this evening and I kinda hate it. Like... full blown... I feel like I need to rewrite it from scratch.

And the problem is... my sister and her family are visiting and it's a hou...

Thank You

Hey everybody.

Just wanted to say Thanks to everyone on here for supporting the channel. I'm crap at posting updates and stuff but I want you to know that it really does mean a lot.

We've hit 1000 subs over the weekend and we're about 12,000 minutes of watch time away from meeting the criteria to join the YouTube Partnership Program. Which means my videos can start to be monetized...

Early Video... (kind of)

Hey peeps.

So I know I'm terrible at engaging with you and I wanted to do something to express my gratitude for sticking with me despite of that. And for sticking around during the breaks too!

I've spent the break getting ahead with my scripts but I'm back to actually editing the vids today. I haven't put the characters or text in yet so it's up to you if you wanna watch or wait ...

Possible Schedule Change

Hey folks - Hope you've had a good holiday season.

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up and ask for your thoughts... 

I'm considering going back to only Two uploads a week rather than Three.  This is for a number of reasons but the main one is that I'm practically working on the videos full time at the moment as well as juggling real life respons...

Trying something different...

Hey folks.

I've just tweeted about it but I figured I'd run the idea by you guys cos you are the real MVPs

As WMV is still a no go for me... I'm gonna try my hand at doing a rendition of the first part of Saga - a Sci-fi, fantasy, adventure comic book thingamajig. The idea is it'll be like my Chronicle vids... but different. lol. The narration will be of a similar style but visually ...

Discord!

Hey peeps.

Just finishing up today's video. That'll be up fairly soon.

I set up a discord server last night. I have no idea how it all works though.

Feel free to come join me there. I'll try to be as active as possible. Plus I'm pretty sure there's a way to set up patron onl...

So I not be able to use Head gear...

The good news is... you can literally import armory characters into Model Viewer so it's a lot easier than I thought it was going to be to recreate your characters for the videos.

The bad news... there's been a bug in Model Viewer for months where helmets are too big and in a weird place (as shown in the picture of Keynex - Andrew's character).  I've tried fiddling about with the settings t...

A little idea...

Hey folks.

Apologies for the short break again. Just in case anyone doesn't follow me on Twitter or hasn't seen the comment on Mondays vid... I've been suffering with 'Man-flu'. But I should be back Monday.

Thought of something fun and cool for the videos in future as I'll be reaching parts of story that involve us (the players) in the next Volume 3 video. I'll need to create model...

Update

Hi folks...

Apologies again for being silent on here. It goes without saying but... I massively appreciate the support from you and I hope in future I can find ways to reward your 'investment' in the channel.

As suspected... the buzz from Hiru's shoutout is over. We're still very much a tiny channel and it's gonna take time and persistence to reach the community and grow. I'm gonna s...

So that was pretty exciting...

Hey peeps. Hope you don't mind that I haven't been posting a lot. Thought I'd just check in and let you know how things are going. You may have noticed the channel just got a bit bigger. Hirumaredx recommended me on his Azeroth Weather Channel so there's been a whole bunch of new folks checking out the channel and its all been pretty positive. We even gained a new Patron (Hello Samantha!). I th...

I dunno if this will work but...

Hey folks. I had an idea for Monday's video but I'm not sure if I'll end up using this or not. But here's a little insight into the weird stuff I do when I'm making vids. File was too big to put on here but hopefully sharing it via Google Drive works.

Need a break.

Hey! So... it's that time again. I am gonna take a week off. I thought I'd let you two know first because you contribute cold hard cash for me to make vids! For which I'm bloody thankful and I'll keep saying that until it annoys you. I was editing tomorrow's video and I realised I just wasn't feeling it and I need a break. I try to make sure that every video is of a certain quality but sometimes...

Just checking in...

Hi Andrew and Lilibean. Sorry this isn't the most active Patreon page. I'm quite the introvert but I do promise that we'll get more community-ish if we start to grow. Also... I know I say it every video but your support really is appreciated. It's fair enough if you can't think of anything but out of curiosity... is there anything you want to see more of? Any particular things I've done in the ...

Hello!

So I'm new to this.  Can you tell?

One thing I'd like to do is be as open and transparent with Patrons as possible.  So... regular discussions and stuff like that.  As I'm writing this... I currently have 1 Patron (Hello Lillibean!) so it's probably a bit early to do a Q&A or something.  

But we'll definitely be doing stuff like that.  Feel free to make suggest...

First Post or something
