Discount!

I'll link the campaigns below with the applied code.  This goes without saying, but please keep this link private or I'll have to take it down prematurely.  It will be up until the end of next month, so no rush!

15k SUBS!!!

We did it! Another milestone down today! The YouTube channel has officially broken 15k subscribers and I am very excited! Usually I'm too busy working on raid videos to dedicate more time towards thank you's, but THIS time I have just finished the Monk guide! With how much effort I put into this, I think it qualifies for a celebration vid. To commemorate, I will be releasing this video tonight for everyone!

"But Drak, what about our Patreon rewards??"

I know, but I haven't com...

End Credits

I wanted to check in with everyone again on the subject of having your names in the end credits.  Up until this point I've been abbreviating last names to protect privacy, but I seem to be one of the few or only channels that do so.  I'm not sure if the other channels haven't thought about it that way, or if I'm just being paranoid.  Regardless, I wanted to pose the question to you all again whether or not you'd like your name abbreviated if it's not already on here.  I will ...

Monk Guide Sneak Peak

I posted one of these to Twitter and was debating holding off on sharing the rest here since I don't want to ever take away from the experience you guys have when first seeing the final product.  These parts, however, won't be on the screen long (despite how much time I put into them) so I thought it would be OK so you can appreciate them a little more when they do pop up.

Welcome!

There has been a sizable increase in patrons lately, but since it's been so consistent I never know when to throw out these little "thank yous".  I have seen you guys coming aboard and it's been very appreciated, believe me.  This patreon has not only allowed me to make a livable wage, but provided a close community of fans that fill our discord with pleasant conversation and memes.  Mostly memes.  My days editing become easier with more people to talk to while I work, and it...

Soaring Skip - Zurvan Ex (w/ NEST)

OK, done with HW stuff for a bit.  Hope you guys still enjoy it even though it's in A12S's shadow. :P

Branching Out

I have no idea what the future holds, but I do have a good idea as to what I want it to be.  This year alone has been full of other creators either discovering our videos or making contact, and that alone has been very exciting for me.  I love this community and hope I can have good relationships with other creators within it.

It's always fun for me to work with other people, and now that my schedule is opening up a bit until Stormblood, I'm going to try and reach out for more collab...

Casual Group Contests Timelord - A12S w/NEST

My pride and joy, guys.  Enjoy a month's worth of work. <3

P.S. - I used the $10 patron list as of this morning, so if anyone joined past that, your name may not show up.  Otherwise you should be good!

"CLEAVED" by Corey

More and more people are asking for a "cleaved by corey" shirt, and this always pops into my head.  Thinking high fashion or perfume ad.  I wanted it to keep that feel, but it's still lacking something.  Anyway, I wanted to share and see what you guys thought of this mock-up lol.

3.5 Release (Part 2) - Dun Scaith

As if today wasn't good enough :3

Change in Stream Culture

Hey everyone!

First of all, as always, thank you and welcome to all our new patrons!  Your support is much appreciated and I hope you're enjoying this service so far.

Now then, straight to business!  This post will carry a bit more of a serious tone than usual.  Typically it would be something reserved for the $10 "life post" but seeing as those of you who donate at all are a more devoted following, I wanted to make sure this message got to all of you.

For those of y...

3.5 Release (Part 1) - Dungeons and Zurvan NM

Another all-nighter, but hopefully I worked through any potential errors.

New Ravana Shirts!

So these won't be for another couple weeks, but the designs have just been finalized!  With the artwork again being produced by our very own Archimedys (aka @SuperSpuddles) this will be the first of two designs.  The second will exclude the background with only the words and swords.  Both will obviously not include the watermark when they get printed.

Anyway, hope you guys are excited about this one as we are!  It was a challenge, but I think we've come through.  Again...

Nuzlocke (Part 3) - Corey used Holmgang! It failed...

So it totally hasn't been forever since I uploaded one of these.  Nope.  All in your head. >.>

Cruisin' and a Bruisin' - A11 (Savage) with [NEST]

Really happy with this one ^^

New Shirt Designs (in-progress)

So the Thunder Buddies shirts are doing pretty well so far thanks to devoted fans such as yourselves.  Currently at about 57 ordered of the 100 set goal that I have and we have 6 days to go.  Considering how niche the shirt itself is, though ([ffxiv [nest vids [corey x drak fans]]]), I'm happy to have even sold this many so far.

That being said, I wanted to let you all in on the next set of designs to hit our shelves.  I wanted designs that NEST fans would enjoy, but also wouldn...

New Year, Better Channel

Why fix what ain't broke? :P

New Years is all about improvement and reform, but I personally want to focus on the former.  These past couple years have been amazing, and I've been enjoying the improvement possible because of those from our very own fanbase.  It's been fitting perfectly with the FFXIV-community style we love so much.  To them and those of you who continue to support and make the trials and struggles of Savage worthwhile, thank you.  I know I say that a lot, ...

12 Days of NESTmas

So I know you all probably wanted A11S for Christmas, but that's just not gonna happen.  The main reason for that being that I wanted to share this project that we've wanted to do for over a year now.  Special thanks to our very own Marcato for the original backing track!  I'm also extending this sneak peak to all patrons in the spirit of the Holidays.  Merry Christmas everyone!

Started on A11S Vid!

So, as those of you who follow me on twitter are probably already aware, today I started on the A11S video and... definitely looking like an outtake video is in the future for this one.  For the first of 7 total videos (including the win) I already have about 6-7 minutes of vid-worthy jokes.  Not all of them are very cohesive thematically, but funny (IMO) nonetheless.

My goal for the next few days will be to get one video edited through per day.  This goal is to spur on my produ...

Pokemon Sun NESTlocke (Part 2)

Hopefully these will keep you guys entertained while I slave away on the A11S vid ^^;

Pokémon Sun NESTlocke (Part 1)

Baited Traps makes NEST take Dirt Naps (A10 Savage)

Took a bit longer, but so is the circumstance of Holidays :)  Hope you guys like it!

Reminder to New Patrons

Hey guys!

There's been a lot of new faces over these past couple months, so first I want to say welcome and THANK YOU!  It's kinda unreal how generous you've all been, and for that I'm sincerely grateful.  Even more so now that the holidays are coming up and for the first time ever I'll be able to personally get something for my family members.

But the real reason I'm posting this is to make sure YOU all are getting your proper gifts and rewards.

For ringtones, just email...

12 Days of NESTmas

So I think this is one of the first times I've uploaded something like this early for demo purposes aside from the music selection earlier.  This is a project we'd wanted to do a year ago, but since forgot until just a couple weeks back.  Nothing in here is set in stone, but it has the spirit of what we wanna accomplish with this video in it's final form.  This is very rough with a basic track I ripped off of youtube (surprisingly hard to find in varieties) so don't judge too hard...

NEST Gets Scrapped (A9 Savage)

Sorry for the wait, but having a part-time job on top of everything else has run myself rather thin.  All the same, I hope you enjoy this one as usual.

T-Shirt Ideas

So I'm wanting to start branching out into merchandise, and the obvious first step is T-Shirts.  Now, I know what I think is funny, but that doesn't always resonate with the fanbase.  Most of the time, but not always.  That's where I'd like your participation.  Post your ideas here as to what designs/logos/characters you'd like to see on a NEST t-shirt.  I don't want to make any legally binding claims here, but I want to and will strongly consider handing out a freebie t...

"Savory" sample

This one has more of a southern feel, kinda like somethin right out of the bayou.  More personality, but it just barely fits the tone of the fight in my opinion.  It worked in my mind because the main boss of A9S looks like a voodoo monster lol.

"Spicy" sample

This music has more of a latin feel to it.  Upbeat, but not much personality.  It's a short loop, but doesn't distract much from the video.

Song for Next Vid

I'm having a tough time pairing this video with a song, but I've narrowed it down to a couple options.  I'll be giving you guys a bit of an extra bonus sneak-peak this week by providing a few samples of the video with the songs I'm debating.  Keep an eye out for it since I'd really like your opinions this time around.

They've been posted, so comment on which one you like more!

Sophia-姉様 (Extreme)

Hopefully I caught all the mistakes (prolly didn't).  But here it is!  Late as hell, but here nonetheless!
