Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 16

Hey peeps,  How's it going?

Here's the next one...

I'm unsure about this one tbh.  Little bit nervous lol.  On the one hand - I think it's got a pretty funny visual gag in it.  One of my best, maybe?  But on the other hand - It also showcases my limitations. &...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 15

Hey peeps,

Here's the next one.  5 Chapters to go until the series is complete

Did you hear the news last night?  Chronicle Volume 4 has been announced.  That's a very pleasant surprise.  Although, as I said in my discord; the fact that it's apparently covering MoP...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 14

Hi folks,

Pretty exciting episode, I think.  Warcraft would make such a bloody good TV show.  Or a planned-out saga of movies like the Marvel ones.  With each 'phase' culminating in The First War. The Second War. The Third War. etc

Can you imagine how much the crowd wou...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 13

Hi folks,

Here's the next one.  I did a fart joke.  I apologise.  Surely I'm allowed one a year?  I stopped doing them a while back because I know some people get weirdly angry about them.  I said to myself - "Only if it feels natural".  Because it's dangerous ...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 12

Hi peeps,  How's it going?

Here's the next one.  In case you missed the pinned comment for Episode Eleven; this one will go out for everyone else on the 9th Jan.

It's probably a bit 'on-the-nose' but, in my mind, Drek'thar was always going to have one of two voices:  Yo...

Kinda Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 12 Audio

Hey peeps,

I wasn't gonna post anything this week but then I got a little bit over-excited about sharing this one. You may be able to guess why if you have a listen.  I didn't know I could do that impression.  lol

Anywho - I should have this episode completed by next Friday....

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 11

Hey folks,

Here's the next one.  I'm not sure whether to put this one out on the 26th or the 2nd of Jan.  Either way - I'm definitely gonna wind down for the holiday season now.  I will work on the next vid but at a much more leisurely pace without worrying too much about a d...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 10

Hello there

Here's the next one.  It's weird; I actually took a day on Monday because of the Man-Flu.  And yet managed to get this one finished a day earlier than usual.  I genuinely thought I was being lazy this week.  Very strange.

So that's all the pre-Christmas...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 9

Alright mates,

Here's the next one

I'm ill again.  lol.  Another cold.  It's just one thing after another at the moment.  Really irritating.  I don't remember getting ill at all during the entire pandemic.  Now I'm ill every bloody 5 minutes.  But i'...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 8

Hi folks,

Here's the next one.  

Credit where credit is due - I think Christie Golden did a really good job of writing an incel origin story about 20 years before incels were a thing.  Aedelas has now become quite a scary villain, I think.  I mean - Yeah; he's not a god...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 7

Hi folks,

Here's the next one, nice and early

I think we're about a third of the way into the book now.  Just getting into Act 2 / the 'Initiation' part of the Hero's Journey.  He's 'departed' the life he knew.  Now he shall do tasks and face ordeals as he is 'initiated...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 6

Hi folks,

Not quite as short as I thought it was going to be.  But still too short for that additional mid-roll ad so basically this video is not going to make any money whatsoever.  lol

So how did you guys feel about BlizzCon / The War Within?  SlvrPhox asked me how I ...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 5

Hi folks,

Here's another episode.  So you're back to being a week n a half ahead again.

I think the 'guy chanting Thrall one too many times' pretty much epitomises my sense of humour.  Really tickled me.  I know you're not supposed to laugh at your own jokes but it kind...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 4

Hey folks,

I'm no longer full of the sniffles so episode 4 is complete.

We're now entering the part of the story where Aedelas doesn't even try to hide how much of a dick he is anymore

I'm kinda dreading one of the upcoming chapters to be honest.  Chapter 6 I think it is. &...

Quick Update

Hi folks,

Apologies but the Episode 4 video is gonna be a little bit delayed.

I'm not sure when it'll be done.  Unfortunately I've got this nasty cold that's going round.  And although I can work through a cold cos I'm a grownup and stuff - I basically can't record the audio...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 3

Hi folks,

I was a bit worried that I wasn't gonna get this one finished today but... then I did.  So everything's fine.

This is a weird book.  lol.  It's good; don't get me wrong.  But practically none of the characters have an in-game model.  Most of their wo...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 2

Hi folks,

Episode Two is now complete so I'm ready to go!  Series will start for everyone else on Tuesday me thinks so that means you guys are about a week n' a half ahead again.  I'll try to maintain that but no promises.

In other news - You watched any of that Gen V?  ...

Early Access - Lord of the Clans Ep. 1

Hi folks,

Here's the first episode.  As per usual, I'd like to get the second episode finished as well before the series 'goes live' so to speak.  So this is probably VERY Early Access in comparison to future episodes.

I dunno how or why I always end up being unintentionally...

Here's a script...

Hey folks,

Going at a very leisurely pace at the moment but I am gradually preparing the next series.

Attached is a script for the first episode.  Obviously subject to change if any particular ideas pop into my head or anything.  The dialogue seems a bit janky but I'll see w...

Early Access - Of Blood & Honor SuperCut

Hello,

SuperCut is done and ready to watch.

Since the series is finished; I will probably make the remaining videos public next week.  It would be weird if I made everyone else wait weeks.  Especially for the final episode considering that one is only about 3 minutes long 2023-09-08 11:38:22 +0000 UTC View Post

Early Access - Of Blood and Honor: Episode 8

Hi folks,

Had a feeling this last chapter would be a pretty easy one to edit

So that's it.  Another series finished.  Should hopefully have the SuperCut put together and rendered by the end of this week.  So I'll upload that and share it with you guys asap

Takes a...

Early Access - Of Blood & Honor: Episode 7

Hey folks,

Here's the next episode.

The way this chapter ends has me thinking... I might do Lord of the Clans next

Feels right, you know?   I know that a few people want me to do the War of the Ancients Trilogy but I'm not ready to commit to that giant 'Knaak' project ...

Just to let you know...

Hi folks,

Still working on the Chapter 7 vid. It's the big 'climax' of the story (cos Chapter 8 is more like an epilogue) so it's taking a bit longer to finish.

I will hopefully have it done before the end of the weekend but I figured I'd best let you know in case you're sat wonderi...

Early Access - Of Blood & Honor Ep. 6

Hi folks,

Here's the next episode.  Not a great deal happens but it's still pretty important.  You've gotta have these emotional moments... otherwise why would anyone care that Tirion has been exiled.

I probably shouldn't have undercut the one scene with silly snore sounds t...

Early Access - Of Blood and Honor - Episode 5

Hey folks,

Here's the next episode.  Had a lot of fun with this one.  The 'gasping crowd' idea popped in my head whilst I was writing the script but I wasn't entirely sure it would work / turn out the way I wanted it to.

I think it worked out quite well though.  lol. &n...

Early Access - Of Blood and Honor - Episode Four

Hey folks,

Here's the next episode.

Halfway through the story already.  I wish all of the books were this short tbh lol.

I'll make this post short too cos I'm gonna bugger off to the gym in a minute.  I'm growing muscles so I can beat up some nerds!  lol nah i'm k...

Early Access - Of Blood & Honor - Ep. 3

Hey peeps, here's Chapter 3.

Tirion and Karandra talk to each other weirdly, don't they.  lol.  There's a trope (that I hate) where the 'love interest' character gets all "myuh" because the hero is keeping secrets.

I really, really dislike it.  Reminds me of all the shi...

Early Access - Of Blood & Honor Episode Two

Hi folks,

Tis my birthday today.  I'm going out for Thai food later but that's about it.  Tomorrow I'll be going to see Oppenheimer.  I'm quite excited considering it's a 3 hour biopic about a physicist.  But I do like Christopher Nolan movies usually.

Now that I'm...

Earl Access - Of Blood & Honor Episode 1

Hi folks,

Here's the first episode.  I tried to make a bit of a joke out of the fact that the first 4 minutes are pretty boring to watch but... they can't all be bangers lol.

I remember Hiru once saying that his policy is to try and make sure that all relevant info is in the vide...

Script - Of Blood and Honor - Episode 1

Hey peeps,

I'm back from France.  Got back yesterday evening and now I'm ready to get started on the new series.  So here's the script for Episode 1.

It's probably not gonna be the most visually interesting episode.  Mostly just Tirion sat on a horse walking through dif...
