Flying Buttress

I've written a script for a new series...

Hey so...

Title says it all really.

I've had a few days of playing the absolute shit out of World of Warcraft (so much so... I've finished the campaign, pretty much every side quest in 3 of the 4 Dragon Isle zones with an Evoker and now I'm doing it all again with my BM Hunter lol)…

So today... I thought I'd better do some work or something.  I've attempted, ...

Early Access - SuperCut

Hi peeps,

Been bloody efficient these past few days!

Hiru / Felplague have been kind enough to provide a link to the upcoming SuperCut for Beyond the Dark Portal so that I can share it with you as well.

So if you wanna watch the whole thing (again) as one big movie... here it is.

Hopefully people enjoy this one as much as the last one. I'm not expecting a huge bump in subs this time around cos... well it's better to remain pessimistic and then not be disappointed....

Early Access (Part Two) - Episode 27

Hi peeps,

There's two Early Access posts today; this is the second one.

Short and Sweet cos it's the epilogue which is only about 3 n' a half pages long.  But that's it.  End of an era.  lol

So... in terms of what's next:

No idea.  I've not officially settled on which book to do next yet.  I was considering War Crimes but there's some other candidates in the mix so I'll keep you posted on that.  Feel free to make some suggestions.

Fe...

Early Access (Part One) - Episode 26

Hi peeps,

There will be two Early Access posts today; this is the first one.

Series is bloody finished.  Huzzah.  lol.  The reason I'm putting these up here today is because I'm gonna make Episode 25 public today.  This one will go public on Monday.  And then the final video will go out on Tuesday.  And I can pat myself on the back for perfect Dragonflight release timing.  Even though it's pure fluke

Also, in other news - I deactivated my T...

Early Access - Episode 25

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video.

Tis basically the ending.  Although there's still a few more chapters.  

I might actually skip Chapter 28 tho - It's kinda incorrect anyway in terms of how the story has been expanded upon since the book came out.  Obviously we've learned since that Turalyon and Alleria were separated from the rest of the group because the rift was volatile or something.  Whereas in this book - they all teleport about five yards away fr...

Early Access - Episode 24

Hi peeps,

Here's next weeks video for you all, nice and early.

Decided to throw a bit more than one chapter into this one.  Cos Chapter 25 is only about 6 pages long.  Whereas Chapter 26 is nearly 20 pages.  

But as a result, the next episode (25) will feel like a full-blown finale to the story.  There will still be a couple more episodes afterwards but those are basically just... 'Something sad happens to Rexxar' and 'Something bad happens to Ner'zhul'.<...

Early Access - Episode 23

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video, nice and early.

I should probably start thinking about which book to do next, shouldn't I?  A lot of people have requested War Crimes so I'm considering that.  

At the moment, I feel like immediately committing to another huge project (like War of the Ancients trilogy) would possibly break me.   But then War Crimes is still like 300+ pages so that's not exactly a small project. 

One things fo...

Early Access - Episode Twenty Two

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video.  Probably feels a bit like a filler episode but at least it answers the 'Where the bloody hell did Kargath go?' question.  

Next episode tho - There's a bit of an annoying cliffhanger.  But the Alliance expedition reunite... go to Shadowmoon Valley... and Turalyon faces off against Gorefiend.  He gets all imposter syndrome-ish midway through the fight and I may have got a bit carried away with breaking the fourth wall but wha...

Early Access - Episode Twenty One

Hi peeps,

Here's next weeks episode nice and early...

Tried to channel my inner-Cumberbatch for Deathwing.  And my inner-Alan Carr for Gruul.  Tbf I'll probably piss a few people off by giving Gruul such a silly voice but... I don't care.  Would've been boring if I just made him cliche, deep, boomy sounding

Anywho - The next episode is a nice short one.  Just Kargath hanging around in Nagrand.  Doesn't really push the story forward but it does have s...

Podcast Thing

Hey peeps,

Managed to record a pretty pointless podcast thing today.  Just as rambley and dumb as ever.  

Rest assured, there will be an Early Access post next Tuesday and we'll get the rest of this series done ASAP.  

Cheers mates!  See ya next time.

Early Access - BtDP Episode Twenty

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video nice and early. 

So... long story, short... It's time for a break.  lol.  Or rather a delay.  I haven't even recorded the audio for Episode 21 yet.  And it's a bloody long chapter featuring the introduction of Gruul as well as several battles with Drakes, Dragons, Eggs... and Deathwing.  Yeah, that's right.  You heard.  Eggs.

Basically I don't have enough time to comfortably make that video without wo...

Early Access - BtDP Episode Nineteen

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video.

Suddenly dawned on me that I completely forgot to do a podcast thing last month lol.  Times going too quickly.  I'm kinda struggling to keep up with the output at the moment though so... I may need to put those on a little hiatus or something for a bit.  

I'm a week ahead of myself atm and I usually like to be 2 weeks ahead.  Episode 20 is another long, eventful one.  Episode 21 looks like it's gonna be a long one ...

Early Access - BtDP Episode 18

Hey peeps,

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

Bit of a busy day today - Helping someone move house.  lol.  Butt... i got an email from Patreon basically saying they've introduced a new payment model which I wanted to discuss with you all before opting-in to it.  

It's subscription based.  Meaning, in theory, people will pay every month on the date they signed up.  Rather than the 1st of every month.  I've seen a few times ...

Early Access - BtDP Episode 17

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks episode, nice and early.  End credits should be up-to-date on this one as well.  It's getting a little bit difficult to keep track!  But I'm not complaining lol.  

As I said last week - This ones quite eventful.  And then the next chapter is quite eventful as well.  So I'm still a little bit behind schedule.  But it's not quite reached state of emergency yet so I don't think I'm gonna need to delay anything.

In ...

Early Access- BtDP Episode 16

Hey folks,

Here's next weeks' video for you.  Another shorter one (all in the Hellfire Citadel throne room again.  But the chapter after this one is fairly eventful so don't worry.

I'm falling behind again though.  In terms of my editing schedule.  Cos of how eventful the next episode is.  

In other news; I recently ordered all the main Tolkien books.  Hobbit, LotR and Silmarillion.  They've all arrived now so I'm gonna probably start with ...

Early Access - BtDP Episode Fifteen

Hey peeps,

How's it going?  

I'm kinda hoping the soap opera b-plot of this story is now done.  lol.  Turalyon and Alleria have somewhat reconciled.  All it took was them actually talking about things.  What a shocker!  Nice bit of insight into Khadgar though - Can't help but feel sorry for him.  He just wants somebody to love lol.

How do you guys feel about Rings of Power, then?  Internet is mental, innit?  I don't think I've eve...

Early Access - BtDP Episode Fourteen

Hey peeps,

Short and sweet and all in one room.  The best type of episode.  lol.

Nah tbf it came at the perfect time really.  I'm still not brilliant at time management so when I have a Hiru video to work on (as well)… I convince myself I've got this unscalable mountain to climb.   So these shorter chapters come in pretty handy.  If I was really clever, I'd plan around them but... I'm not really clever.

Luckily I've now submitted the first dra...

Earl Access - BtDP Episode Thirteen

Hello everybody peeps,

Here's the sexy episode.  Weirdly... I'm pretty sure Arator was born as a result of the hot, steamy night in this episode.  But there's absolutely no mention of him in this story.  

Kinda makes Alleria seem even colder to be honest.  I know they reconcile in a few chapters time but she just doesn't bother telling Turalyon "Oh hey btw... you've got a son".  

Hopefully the latter half of this video isn't too disjointed.  I'm...

Patron Podcast for August

Hello,

Here's this months podcast thing.  

I think I might try and do these nearer the end of the month rather than at the beginning of them from now on.  I dunno if that'll lead to them being less rambley.  Probably not.  

Enjoy!

Early Access - BtDP Episode 12

Hello,

Another Tuesday, another Video.  This is the part where the Alliance (or mainly Khadgar) kinda finally figure out what the balls is going on.

And then next week... it's that bloody sex scene lol.  I think there's a few folks that have been watching just to see how I'm gonna handle that one part.  I hope no one was hoping I'd take it super seriously.  There is no universe out there where I was going to sit at my desk saying "Ooooo Turalyon" and "Ooooo All...

Early Access - BtDP Episode 11

Hi everybody,

Here's next weeks episode (as is tradition)…

It only dawned on me this morning that it's a new month and the podcast thing had completely slipped my mind.  lol.  So I'll try and get that recorded at some point this week.  It'll either be this week or next week (for anyone that actually gives a poop)

You guys watched Sandman?  What did you think?  I've not read the comics - dunno why cos I was aware of them.  I think it was just t...

Early Access - BtDP Ep. 10

Hi peeps,

Here's next weeks episode for you.  

In case you didn't watch the weird video the other day; this is a bit of a short episode tbh.  Krasus just kinda stands there as well!  He follows Antonidas into the Arcane Vault but then isn't mentioned at all during the fight.  

But that's two of the three artifacts collected by the Horde now.  Only one to go.  Which they'll get in the next episode.  And then... the following episode after th...

Probably the weirdest video I've ever made...

Hey peeps,

As promised, here's an extra video (just for you) to make up for the lack of Early Access this week.  

I think we can all agree that my choice to not stream is probably for the best lol.  

Cheers folks.  See ya next week!

Little, Tiny Update Post

Hey peeps,

Just a quick boring text post to say I haven't had a chance to record or make anything for this week (yet).  I still intend on doing something extra - might be an extra 'podcast' or it might be... I dunno, some weird video where I sit and play Power Wash Simulator.  Who knows. 

Also - The video that just went public on the channel a few minutes ago... the credits at the end are outdated.  So apologies to ExpelledFPS for not being included in those. &...

Early Access - BtDP Episode Nine

Good afternoon everybody peeps,

Here's next weeks episode nice and early.  Butt... I am gonna take a bit of a break now.  I've decided.  It's too hot.  lol.  And my birthday is coming up so here's the plan...

Episode 8 will go public tomorrow.  This (Episode 9) video will go public next Tuesday on the channel.  There won't be an Early Access post next week but you guys will get Early Access to Episode 10 on the 2nd of August.    Wh...

Early Access - BtDP Ep. 8

Morning folks...

Here's next weeks episode nice and early

Like I said... little bit behind schedule on Episode 9.  Still gotta put all the text in whilst also figuring out how to edit / animate the final scenes - [Tagar and Fenris and some others all sneaking into Menethil Harbour and making off with some boats and stuff] - Depending on how long that takes AND how long Episode 10 is gonna be... there may be a delay / break coming up.  

Plus I might just decide to c...

Patron Podcast - July

Hey peeps,

Here's this months Patron Only Podcast thingie.  It's just me rambling / ranting again about a whole bunch of bollocks.

Early Access post will be up tomorrow morning at some point.  Still gotta add the music in today which will take a little bit of time.  And I'm also a little bit behind schedule in terms of the next one (next weeks early access).  So... as I say in this podcast... may be time for a break soon.  lol.  But I'll keep you post...

Early Access - Beyond the Dark Portal Episode 7

Hey peeps,

Here's next weeks video nice and early.

Almost a third of the way through the story... and the Alliance Expedition hasn't even started yet.  lol

I shall try and record this months Podcast at some point within the next few days.  Probably just end up talking about how much I loved Stranger Things 4 or something.  

Also I did a really small cameo in Lawrencium's latest machinima (which you can check out - 2022-07-05 07:59:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Early Access - BtDP Episode Six

G'morning everybody,

You know the drill by now - here's next weeks episode nice and early.

I feel like this series is shaping up quite nicely so far but it's kinda funny that we're just now introducing Lord Daval Prestor.   I guess they couldn't have introduced him any sooner really; the whole point is he's supposed to have just appeared out of nowhere.  

But it's funny to me that Chapter Seven is like 'Meet Daval Prestor' and then Chapter 8 is like... 'Oh mY ...

Early Access - Beyond the Dark Portal Ep. Five

Hey peeps,

Posting this tonight rather than tomorrow morning.  Saves me a bit of time cos I've got a few things to do tomorrow.

I'm bloody knackered this evening.  I think it's cos I've started back on Keto today so I'm like... in full-blown sugar withdrawal.  I'm only planning on doing it for a couple of weeks this time.  See if I can't shed these bloody 'love handles'.  lol.

In other news - My dad got himself a brand new PC for the first time in ab...
