Hello everyone,
On the day 250K party we released a couple of songs. Obviously you can view these on YouTube - but just because I adore you, I wanted you to be able to download a copy too.
So, I'm attaching mp3's of both "Lament of the Highborne" and "The Thumbnail Song."
Enjoy.

UPDATE: Just upgraded our VIMEO account and are uploading this to that location. We realize that some patrons have low bandwidth and want to ensure everyone has full access to the video. We will resubmit this post later tonight when it's all re-uploaded again!
Okay, this took longer than anticipated but we figured out a process that somewhat/may work moving forward!

Hello dear Patrons,
We're adjusting the schedule for live chats, due to time changes (in everywhere but Arizona).
Beginning this week, we will mostly stick to this live chat schedule:
7:00PM on Wednesdays (Arizona time, which is the same as PDT now)
1:00PM on Fridays
Note: sometimes schedules will cause times to shift, so these isn't 100% set in stone. Keep an eye on additional announcement on Patreon and Discord for any ad...

Hello all!
Recently our Judas Priest video was hammered with copyright claims, which we're working on to clear. In the meantime, I'm making it available to you all on Vimeo.
Would love your thoughts, even though I'm a bit nervous about releasing this one. You'll see by my commentary. Honesty!
Bests,
Elizabeth

Hi all!
We closed two of our reaction poll channels in Discord, and our official Patreon Reaction Suggestions channel is in full swing. Catching up to where we should be, we've bundled the December and January suggestions into one final list. You all voted, and the top five have made it here for everyone to make that final vote.
Side Note: The last poll you all selected SABATON - "Uprising" is currently owned by Believe Music. Since we have issues with that label, we...
Hello all!
I filmed this reaction and analysis video, and realized it had some pretty strong messages within, which may not vibe with many people (Maynard expresses his anger as to why his mother is suffering, directing it towards her religion). Thus, I decided to keep it for the viewing pleasure of you patrons, and keep this one off of YouTube.
For those of you that do watch this, please enjoy. And for a different experience for the same memorial for Kirk's mother, pleas...
We had a fabulous Masterclass today! Shouting-out a huge thank you again to our singers.

This week we'll be hosting live chats on Discord on Wednesday at 8:00PM Arizona time, and Friday at 2:00PM Arizona time.
I'd love to bring back one of my favorite subjects from December: TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE. This was so much fun last time, and I loved getting to know many of you better. Looking forward to hearing more of your stories this week!

I addition, tomorrow is going to have TWO releases - first a new Heilung reaction/analysis, and then an interview with Maria Franz (lead female singer of Heilung). You'll find us in the the Youtube Live Chat between 8:00-9:30AM MST for those premiers.
Next week, I'll be interviewing Morgan James for the channel. I'll send a message out shortly to Inquisitors and Voyeurs to ask...

As Kirk promised, we've gone through every single song request from November and December on Discord, tabulated them and selected those with the highest amount of "likes". We want you all to vote on the top of that list so we can feed it into our schedule for January or early February.
Each month, Paolo and Kirk will review what's in the Reaction-Suggestions channel in Discord and pull out the top 5 to post here for all to do a final vote on.

Choosing a thumbnail face is one of the more laugh-inducing parts of our work process. I'm really not aware of how expressive my face is during filming, so going slow-mo to find a moment of extreme expression is always boiling with self-discovery.
Today's thumbnail search yielded one of the more exquisite expressions I've seen in the last month, BUT, I'm not going to use this particular funny face because it doesn't fit the tone of the video. So, I'll just leave it here for y'all....

We'll probably talk some about New Year's Goals with y'all between games. :-)

We had an exciting D&D session yesterday. Mark had some of his character's backstory come to haunt him, and we saw an entirely different side of him, and our DM ;-). Also, we introduced a new NPC (non-player character) who was thrust into hunting down these goblins thanks to Vox's persuasion rolls.
Kirk wants to hold a competition to fill in the role of Royce, the Ranger from Cornith (as previewed and nearly perishing last session). He's offering up...

I arranged and sang/played this fun Christmas song for y'all (and for Kirk, and Krakino). It's one of my favorite Christmas songs, partly because it's just simple, and cute, and delightful. :-D

As the holidays descend down upon us, more and more holiday music is converging on our lists. I did an analysis on the Pentatonix "Mary Did You Know" a couple weeks ago, and as it was blocked for Copyright, decided to post it here for only our patrons to see.
I may release this later on YouTube, but for now, I wanted you all to enjoy!

Hi all! We're going to be doing live chats on Discord this week on Wednesday at 8:00PM & Friday at 2:00 PM (Arizona Time).
SUBJECT: 2 Truths & a Lie
One of the things I like most about Patreon is getting to know you all more, so we'd like each person to come prepared to tell 2 truths and 1 lie about themself. We'll try to guess what the lie is. :-D Try to make it difficult!
See you soon,

This reaction was worldwide blocked by YouTube's Content ID system and its copyright holder, so I am posting it on Vimeo for the Voice Crack tier and above. It was a shame not to share it with you, my most loyal fans... so here we go!
As more videos get blocked, instead of them swirling down in the nether of my filing system, I'll post them here and on Vimeo with exclusive links so they can still be enjoyed.

Hello lovely Patrons,
We just updated the Patreon tiers, so you should go check them out! While we kept most of the benefits the same, we've moved a couple and added some too.
One of the things we're most excited about is the new Beat Saber benefit. Kirk figured-out how to generate and upload custom levels into Beat Saber, so Elizabeth will be PLAYING (and streaming) your songs.
We did remove the fan comments video benefit for now, but we still plan to release a fan vi...
