Flying Buttress

Update

Hey peeps,

Apologies for the radio silence for the past few weeks.

I dunno if I mentioned but I've transferred over to editing for Hiru's D&D channel (TheD&DLogs).  So I've been working on a couple of those vids.  And the two weeks have kinda flown by so I'm going on that holiday to France this Wednesday.

But I thought I'd just do a quick text post to let you...

Early Access - SuperCut

Hey folks,

Here's the SuperCut.  Keep in mind it's still processing at the moment.  So it might only be available in shitty definition for the next few hours.

It will probably go out properly on the 27th.  Assuming the final episode has aired over on Hiru's channel by then.

I do need a bit of a break before jumping into the next series though.  Unfortunatel...

Early Access - Final Episode

Hello

It's done.  It's finished.  It's over.  lol

Pretty sure I've got some grey hairs now.  I shall probably take the weekend and then get started on building the SuperCut.  I've had a discussion with Hiru and I'm going to transfer over to his DnD channel - I'm completely burned out on the WoW videos.  

Don't worry though - I'm still going to ada...

Early Access - Episode 20

Hi all,

Here's the penultimate episode of the series.  Only 1 more to go!

I dunno if Hiru wants to spread these last few episodes out weekly or just dump em' all out (it's entirely up to him cos its his channel).  But once it's finished over on his channel; I'll put the SuperCut up on mine.

And then it's done.  And I will probably have a party or something.

Early Access - Episode 19

Hey peeps,

Here's Episode 19.  Only 2 more to go!

Bejesus... this has been possibly the toughest series to make so far.  I've never been more excited about finishing anything.

I would say this 'experiment' has gone better than a lot of people think.  I've probably gained about 2k subs from it.  And my channel is getting like... 60k views a month despite me ...

Early Access - Episode 18

Hi folks,

Here's episode 18.  3 more to go!

Lots of chores to do today because that house inspection is tomorrow.  So this post is gonna seem pretty blunt.  lol.

But Thanks, as always, for your support.  And I'll see ya in the next Early Access post.  Cheers mates!

Early Access - Episode 17

Hey peeps,

Here's the next one.  Only 4 to go!

I've got a house inspection from the Letting Agency coming up soon so I'm gonna be doing a lot of spring cleaning and shit.  I'll dip in and out of editing when I can but I've already told Hiru... there may be another delay coming up.

Hopefully it'll be fine cos I'd quite like to be finished in 4 weeks time.  lol. &...

Early Access - DotD. Ep 16

Hey peeps,

Here's the new episode.  5 more to go!  Kinda insane really considering what's left, story-wise.  Especially since Rhonin spends the next couple of chapters just getting beaten up a lot.

What do you guys think about Patch 10.1?  I did what I always do and played the crap out of it on reset day.  And then kinda left myself with no reason to log in ...

Early Access - DotD. Ep 15

Hey peeps,

Here's the next episode, nice and early.

6 more to go.  lol.  I should probably stop counting down.  Makes it seem like I hate this.  I swear in all of the Christie Golden books; the story would be wrapping up by this point.  And the last few chapters would be short enough that I could confidently say I'd be done in a few weeks...

But no. &n...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 14

Hey peeps,

Here's a new episode, nice and early.  7 more to go til it's all finished.

I think these Rhonin and Deathwing moments are probably my favourite parts of this story.  Whereas the Krasus stuff is a little bit meh imo.  I dunno if it's the same for every Knaak book but both this one and Dawn of the Aspects seem to have very repetitive subplots where a characte...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 13

Hey peeps,

Here's a new episode.  You're technically two episodes ahead of everyone else now!

8 more chapters to go.  I, too, am surprised they still ain't there yet.  'Day' of the Dragon, my arse!  Should be called... bloody... Six Months of the Dragon.

I defo talked myself into doing Of Blood & Honor next.  I need something short and easy.  ...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 12

Hey peeps,

Here's the next episode for you, nice and early.

We are slowly but surely getting through this series.  There's 9 more chapters left so realistically, it's gonna take a couple more months but once it's done - it's done.  lol.

I am actually going on holiday to France in July and I can't be assed to sit here and do the math but I'm hoping it's finished befor...

Early Access - DotD: Ep. 11

Morning peeps,

Here's the next video.  I was half tempted to just have Nekros rubbing the Demon Soul for the entire thing but I think that would've been one of those things that just made me laugh.  Whilst pissing off everyone else.

Quite proud of this one though.  Rhonin's "That was bloody miles" comment actually made me chuckle whilst I was editing.  I know it'...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 10

Morning peeps,

Here's a new episode.  We should now, hopefully, be back on track to do weekly vids.  So that's cool.

I'm slowly but surely sorting my life out, one step at a time.  lol.  Haven't touched the booze since the 19th.  Haven't touched the Coca Cola since last Wednesday.  I'm already feeling more positive, more energetic, more productive, etc....

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 9

Alright mates,

Here's the next episode - somewhat early.  I spoke to Hiru and I don't think he's planning on putting this one out later today.  But who knows.  lol.

I'm kinda hoping for a nice, easy chapter some time soon.  They're all so bloody long!  Which makes it impossible to get ahead of myself.  What I need is a chapter that's basically just a Da...

Oopsie

So that Episode 8 video seems to have just gone out.  lol.  It was my intention for it to go out on 21st but I guess some wires got crossed or something.  

Bear with me.  I'll try and get the next episode finished asap.  I still very much wish to give you guys Early Access on these vids so I apologise that it seems like you barely got any for that latest episode.<...

Early Access - DotD Episode 8

Hi folks,

Sorry for the delay.  Here's the finished version of the next episode.

This one will go up on the 21st and we'll be back to weekly releases after that.  For as long as I can maintain that / keep going before I inevitably need another break lol

The good news is - we're not far off halfway through the story.  We're over a third of the way.  In terms...

Update (plus Ep. 8 Audio Early Access)

Hi peeps,

Unfortunately... it is, in fact, going to take longer than originally planned for the next video to be finished.  So I've requested an additional week from Hiru and he's fine with that.

But just so you folks don't go completely empty-handed... here's the audio for the next episode.  It's the latter part that's taking a while to edit.  Due to it being kinda m...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 7

Hi folks,

Here's Episode 7.  I initially gave Molok that 'Mrs. Doubtfire' high-pitched Scottish voice but then, once I started editing, I felt like I'd done that joke quite a few times already.  So I tried to re-record his lines.

And then quickly gave up trying to find a unique voice for him so I just made him indistinguishable instead.  It made me laugh because it's ...

Quick Update

Hey peeps,

I think Hiru is a bit swamped with other stuff atm so I'm still waiting on the link to the Chapter Seven episode.  But I will share it with you ASAP.  It's on his To-Do list but he has like 90 channels so that list is probably VERY long.

Plus I imagine he's trying to get another video sorted so as to avoid the scenario where 3 of mine go up on his channel in a r...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 6

Hi folks,

Here's next Tuesdays episode.

It's mostly brain trust meetings.  You've got the King brain trust and then the Wizard  brain trust.  And then Krasus fights a shadow squid or something.

Endless Hunger is a cool concept though.  But in true Warcraft style; they've used that same name for multiple different things including an Azerite trait, a conduit...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 5

Hello,

Here's the next episode and stuff.

Once again; apologies for it not being a full week early.  Tis a combination of me not having the episodes ready in time and also Hiru having the memory of a goldfish.

First few episodes have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster tbh.  lol.  Seeing that dip in views got to me.  Not gonna lie.  Butt!  I ...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 4

Alright?

Episode 4 and stuff.  

I dunno what these titles are about.  They're weird.  Hiru does titles and thumbnails.  He knows what he's doing in that regard.  Guy insists that titles are really important nowadays for YouTube impressions.  Moreso than tags or anything else.

Me - I have no idea how to do titles.  

Anywho - Thanks, as a...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 3

G'morning,

Here's next Tuesdays episode.

If I had a nickel for the amount of times that Gryphon Riders have been used as deus ex machina... I'd have like 3 or 4 nickels by now I think.

I'm going to have to find more synonyms for 'Butt / However / Suddenly...'.  It appears that Knaak's favourite thing to do in this book is put characters in danger, have them escape said da...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 2

Hey peeps,

Episode 2 is up nice and early for you.  Just to manage expectations tho - I have no idea when Episode 3 will be ready.  So (again) I will reiterate that you guys may not get Early Access a full week ahead of everyone else in future.

The response to Episode 1 seems pretty positive tho.  There's one guy declaring that the video failed (it's only been up 2 ho...

Early Access - Day of the Dragon Ep. 1

Hey folks,

Here it is.  Episode 1.  Sorry it's not an entire week early - it's not quite as straightforward as previous videos because, obviously, it's going up over on Hiru's channel so there's more steps involved.

This will likely go 'live' on Tuesday so... same as before.  That way I can get 3 episodes out this month.  Might go up later in the day than usual t...

New Series will begin very soon!

Hi folks,

Apologies for the radio silence recently.  But don't worry - Not only have I started editing the new series... the first episode is done and ready to go.

I've already sent it to Hiru and the plan is for it to go up at some point next week.  I will send Hiru a message to ask for a link to the unlisted video so I can give you guys early access - He's probably fast ...

Audio Recordings for Episode 1 & 2

Hey peeps,

Happy New Year and stuff.

Time to get back to work I guess.  Here's the audio for Episodes 1 & 2 of the new series.  I can only embed one so part 2 is attached below.

There's another scene I need to record for the end of Part 2.  It's a bit of a weird conversation between Prestor and a Goblin called Kryll.  In the book, it feels a bit off. &n...

Hello

Merry Christmas everyone. You're all probably very busy and I apologise for disturbing but I just wanted to make sure you all knew how much I appreciate you.

Hope you have a lovely one. Shout out to any German peeps who opened their gifts tonight (xmas eve). German Christmas is the best christmas. I attached your favourite song / national anthem.

And shout out to any Irish peeps...

Just to let you know...

Hey folks,

Just a quick text post to let you know there will probably be a video going up soon.  The reason I haven't done Early Access to it is because it's an update video in which I explain What's Next to everyone.

Key points being:

1) Next series will be Day of the Dragon and that will start in January (you already know this cos I shared that script a week ago lol...
