Previews for next vidya, pace in videos in general

Hey all

I have an update with the next video: this month's poll winner(well sort of). As you know, the winner ended up be my "salty rundown of all of the horde advantages over alliance" in classic WoW. It's intended to be a parody video(for the most part), but I ran into some snags. Right now I have 2 problems with it:

1) I just think it will make everyone salty. As you saw with the latest video, the classic community can be....interesting to say the least. Joking about the same s...

Early Access: The Worst of Classic WoW

As I said in the previous post, be warned....this is a spicy one! I don't really like delving into this type of stuff, but I figure it's important to talk about. Have to talk about the bad, as well as the good! Hope you enjoy regardless

Early Access later tonight, next video

Just stopping by to give you an update with things

I finally finished the rough draft of the next video. Through a combination of real life distractions and tricky editing this one took forever. I think it turned out alright, but it's definitely spicy - probably the most spicy video I've ever made so be warned! I hope you like it though. It's rendering now, and I'll have it uploaded as early access for you tonight unless something crazy happens.

In the meantime, I'm off to work on...

Next Video Previews

Had some difficulties with this one. It started off as a "state of classic", but I wasn't happy with the end product and decided to change it. Through my ranking I ran into all types of people, good and bad(I mentioned this in my return video). I thought it was interesting enough to warrant its own video, so here are the previews! I'm worried about it being too negative, but I think it's still important to talk about - can't just leave out the bad.

I hope to have the EA ready for you in...

August 2020 Poll

First poll in a while! Some fresh choices to kick things off here. Which one would you like to see? Remember you can vote on more than one. Thanks for the support as always, everyone!

Early Access: Video Games Are Bad For You

This one isn't necessarily about wow. Hopefully it's still interesting though! I think it turned out pretty good

Next Video Previews

Hey all - work on the next video has begun. I actually have too many ideas right now and have struggled for the past few days on picking one. Today I just said screw it, assigned each video a numeric value and rolled a die. It landed on a topic not directly related to WoW, but rather video games in general. Recently there's been some discussion on video games and their effect on us mentally and physically. I want to chat about all of this, and some of the stigmas tied to them, and enclosed in...

Double Checking Shoutouts

Hey all

So in my 3ish month absence I've had A LOT of catching up to do with pledges/un-pledges with the patreon. Right now I THINK I have everyone accounted for, but it's all a manual process so there's always room for error. Here's what I current have for those end-screen shoutouts for July of 2020 - please, if you see your name missing let me know and I'll fix it right away! Your name could be missing if you:

a) changed it(patreon doesn't alert me to this)

b)un-pledged an...

Early Access: Is Rank 14 Worth It?

Hey guys what's up madseason here back with another video for you. Bet it's been a while since you've heard those words, huh? There are a few things to clean up in this video - I need to get footage of my team, but they're busy grinding honor so it'll have to wait for a bit. Enjoy this early access though.....it's good to be back!

You'll also notice that the shoutouts are outdated - that will be fixed for final release.

Next video script/VO

It is finished....maybe.

I finished my honor grind for the week, and if everything goes OK and no one breaks brackets, tomorrow I'll be rank 14! It's hard to believe it's over(hopefully).

If I am indeed R14 I'll be doing a celebration stream tomorrow, and if not, well you know what happened I guess lol.

I've already gotten started on the next video though - appropriately titled "is rank 14 worth it?". It just seemed like the most appropriate video for my return to the Youtub...

Light at the End of the Tunnell

1....more....week.

One more week separates me from rank 14 - the closer I get the more nervous I get that I'm not going to make it! It's been quite the journey. There was enough craziness/drama to make a 20 part Youtube series about it in fact.

I'm glad it's almost over and boy do I have a lot to talk about. I mentioned in previous updates that my first video back will be a "Is rank 14 worth it?" type of video where I share my experiences, and give my personal take on it all. I ha...

Heads up with upcoming Patreon change

Hey all

Patreon just sent me an email saying that they are now required by law to start charging sales tax for pledges - all creators are forced through this change. The rate will of course vary on where you live. I just wanted to give you a heads up so it doesn't come out of nowhere! You still have time to cancel pledge if you're uncomfortable with the change(until 1st of each month).

Just wanted to give you a heads up! Back to the grind...3 more weeks!

Update with Ranking & Youtube, Reminder of Inactivity

Hey all

Just wanted to check in with everyone and give a status update on what's going on with Patreon, Youtube, Twitch, etc.

As you may know, I started the infamous pvp grind in WoW Classic. Even those who know vaguely about it know that it's......time consuming. Very time consuming. Each week of grinding varies. If the team is 100% perfect and we win every game and we don't have breaks, we can do it in ~50 hours per week. Otherwise it can get up to 80-90 in the really bad cases....

Update on channel, progress, video stuff

Hey all!

Just a quick reminder as posted last month: From my break on Youtube you won't be seeing a whole lot here on Patreon since most of the perks are tied to videos!

I wanted to give you an update as well though. As I said, the ultimate goal is rank 14. Since my break, I've made the honor "cap" every single week, and as of this writing I'm at Rank 10, 52%. I'll be rank 11 on Tuesday, and doing some math it looks like it'll take about 2 months from this point to finish off the ...

Patreon, Videos, The Future

Hey all!

I got some important news for you today. If you've been hanging around the streams you probably know about this already: I'm planning on taking a break from Youtube.

We're about to hit the 6 year anniversary here in a few months, and since the beginning pretty much I've been pumping out about a video per week(a bit slower lately). I do it because I love it, video editing is my passion, and I'm lucky to have so many people watch, and even you guys who go a step above and b...

Early Access: Biggest Changes Between Vanilla & BC Classic

Sorry for the delay! This one went through a few big changes, and combined with its length it ate up quite a bit of time. I think it turned out OK though. I think for the next one I'll cover Shadowlands maybe. Hope you enjoy!

Next Video Previews

Hey all

Here are the previews for the next video(this month's poll winner). There was a bit of a delay because it underwent a few changes. It started off as a list of differences between the rereleases, but I went ahead and also included some of the bigger changes between vanilla and bc themselves. It's a pretty lengthy one, about 20 mins long probably. Hope to have the EA out for you within a few days.

Happy Easter!

April 2020 Poll

Poll time! Out of these videos, which would you like to see next? Remember, you can vote on more than one =]

Early Access: Loot Rules in WoW

EA for the next video! There's a lot I'd like to change with this one, but here's a super early preview. I'm making it for half-entertainment and half-guide so hopefully you get some use out of this.

Change of plans for next video

Hey all.

In my last post I said that the loot rules video was next. Well recently as you may have heard, blizzard sent out some surveys about a BC Classic so I wanted to cover it in video form, talk about the questions, what it means for classic, my thoughts, etc..

Since this is a news based videos I won't be doing an EA, but I still wanted to make a post here with the script/vo in case you were interested in that.

As for the loot rules video, it's about 90% done, so you wil...

Next Video Previews + Plans

Hey all....going HAM with videos lately. Like many of you I'm sure I'm stuck at home, so what better time to get some editing done? The next one I teased on stream a couple of times - it's a discussion on loot in classic and the system tied around it(dkp, loot council etc.). It's meant to be a half-guide/half-entertainment - hopefully still handy for those of you on the hunt for a guild. I'll be burning the midnight oil tonight and should have the EA out soon.

I'm also planning on makin...

Early Access: Shadowlands/Suggestions for Current WoW

Here's the winner of this month's poll! It took a while, but I wanted to do it right. Some minor stuff to fix as always - feel free to leave any feedback.

Next Video Previews

Previews for this month's poll winner! It's another long one...at least 20 mins! I'll get started editing tonight. I think I'll also post that ff7 gameplay tomorrow!

Next Video

Hey all - I'm ready to start the next video, so I went ahead and ended the poll. Right now it's a tie between Shadowlands and "The Dark Side of Youtube". I'll eventually do both, but I think I'll go with Shadowlands for now as I think the alpha for the game is about to start. I hope I get in, but after the last video, I'm not sure if Blizzard likes me anymore lol.

Regardless, I wanted to make a "wishlist" of sorts for what I'd like to see/improved/removed, so I think that would be appro...

March 2020 Poll

Here's the poll for this month! Out of these videos, which would you like to see next? Remember, you can choose more than one...go for your top picks!

Thanks for another month of support, everyone.

Early Access: WoW Token Commentary

Finished this up tonight. With the token coming to China, a discussion has been sparked about its effect on Classic, so I thought I'd weigh in(you can probably guess my opinion). I'm not 100% happy with the video in its current state - I think I repeat myself too much in some areas, there are more thoughts I'd like to add, and I'll likely change the music. Enjoy this EA in the meantime though!

Next Video Previews

Hey all - I've been working away on the next video as always. Recently, there was news that the wow token is coming to classic....in china. I'd be shocked if it were to come to u.s./eu, but it's sparked a discussion among players about the nature of currency, gold buying and p2w(pay to win). I thought it interesting enough to make a short video sharing my thoughts. I'm going to start working on the editing portion today, and hopefully have that early access for you soon. In the meantime if yo...

Early Access: WoW's Most Disappointing Moments

Behold, the result of the past 2ish weeks of my life! Some minor errors, will fix for final cut. Enjoy!

Progress Update

Hey all

It's been a little while since you've seen me - about 10 days for Youtube and 6 days for Twitch. Rest assured I haven't been TOO lazy. As explained in the previous post, the next video is a monster. It's the winner of this month's poll, the "most disappointing moments in WoW's history". In it's first draft, it's looking to be just under 40 minutes in length, so it's taking an extraordinary amount of time to edit - been going 8-10 hours a day for the past several days.

I fi...

Update with upcoming videos, latest poll

Hey all

As you may have seen, the winner of this month's poll is the "most disappointing moments in wow's history" video. I've been working on the script and.....it's turning out to be huge. Like HUGE huge - over 40 minutes easily, and I still have more to write. I have it in a top 10 format right now so I have 2 options:

1. Cut it down and maybe shorten it to 5, making it a 20ish minute video

2. Keep it the same

I'm not too happy with the former because I think it mak...
