Well, OK, it would be a stretch to describe it as EARLY, but my gosh, we got here in the end! (Yes, the internet is finally back, hooray!)
But there is a cute video from...probably 2017, taken by Ursa Minor of Sherlock, which I thought might be fun to stick on the end. :) Enjoy!

They promised to fix it on Tuesday, then by Thursday, then today, and now they are saying they might come tomorrow.
I will keep you updated. It has taken me this long to get Patreon online, apologies. It’s no fun on your ph...

Why yes it is an ACTING VIDEO. Sort of. It's a video about data, and about casting type, and about how freakishly accurate the internet hivemind can be.
And also about how this could extend to choosing your dating profile picture I guess?
Oh yes, and if you are Arenaverse people, here's that Kickstarter I mentioned: 2019-06-18 17:16:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Boy, it's been a while since I needed a spoiler warning, eh? In this episode I attempt to process my dissonance and also express my deep and abiding love for David Tennant.
You know, as you do.

I sat down last Tuesday in front of my computer and realised I have no opinions on anything right now.
The Soul Music review is in the works, but I have to...actually get the book and read it again. Which will happen next week, I hope.
In completely unrelated news, it's also my birthday next week and I got a new (to me) bike! I am very excited by this. It's super light compared to m...

Well, I literally just finished this video, and Ursa Minor is on my lap watching Wheels on the Bus while I type to you :D
I watched Avengers: Endgame at the weekend, (no spoilers) and it got me thinking about the MCU...also, I just got some really sweet gloves for my summer combat course.
My life is super interesting. Yes yes.

I mean, it took almost a year, and a record seven rewrites, but I finally figured out what I needed to say.
Boy. This was not the episode I thought I was going to make. :)
2019-04-23 13:25:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
My anniversary episode is going up on Tuesday, but because of (non-serious, just logistics) reasons, I would prefer not to put up an extra version for you early.
Obviously, that's a bit rubbish for you, so instead I thought I'd give you all something else to look at: some photos and videos from my Unarmed stage combat course in Deal. I took most of them and so am...

I have been doing a little spring cleaning on my website and decided that I probably needed to add an acting showreel if I'd actually like to do some acting! (I know, big surprise).
So here is my unlisted showreel, with thanks if you watched the first one. It was definitely too long. This one is shorter and hopefully snap...

So I don't know how many of you watch Ashens, but he's making a sequel to his 2013 movie Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild and, having seen secondary roles advertised on a casting website for Ashens and the Polybius Heist, I have applied!
What's the part? I...actually don't know, I couldn't...

I am...pretty pleased with this one, though that thumbnail took a really long time to make because GIMP decided halfway through that the free select tool was...you know, not something I really needed at all. Thanks for that.

See you...

A somewhat longer version (by 45s or so) than the final cut because clarity is more important than meandering in this case 😁
I spent...quite a while on this one, I hope you all like it!

Well I am off to put the finishing touches on the Black Panther edit (I lie, I'm three minutes into an eight minute video, help me) but in the meantime, here's VidCon London, or at least some thoughts thereon.
Plus about 9 minutes in we talk about what's coming up in March and April! Enjoy :)

I've also now seen Black Panther, which will probably be the March review as I have already written it. :D

One thing I forgot to mention: Creator Studio (the mobile app that allows you to look at analytics, comments etc) has been acting...a bit weird. So if you have a randomly disappearing comment...that might be why.

More of an update than anything else, and really, what is my hair like?
I didn't mention it in the video, but I just had some blood tests for...everything really, as I'm really exhausted at the moment.
Don't think it's YouTuber burnout so much as Winter, Life, and Other Related Stuff.
We have got the house contracts now. So...that might be a real thing that is really happening....

Hi everyone, sorry I didn't put this up early, but I figured it wouldn't be much use without the actual movie, which most of you haven't watched!

Cancer, as it turns out. Poor John. Still, he and his beautiful blue-collared glory lives on in my head and on my computer. And now on your screen.
Please note for extra smirks Sherlock glaring in the background while John looks like a cat model that you put on the front of Felix packets.

John (the cat) is not at all well, the vet thinks it's cancer, and he has gone downhill very rapidly in the last few days.
Hopefully whatever is wrong with him we can fix, or at least slow the progress of, but he is a very sick kitty right now.
Your prayers/good thoughts/well wishes would be appreciated. Anyway, I'm putting this up today so I remember, and I'll talk to you all soon.<...

Hey, I got a Soundcloud account!
Apparently you can change your voice in Audacity to make it sound more GLaDOS-y, but I haven't got around to that yet.
More to come. Though probably more soprano stuff than video game song covers, but hey, I'm open to suggestions.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to do some Scarlet Pimpernel ones. Because I do love a big solo number :D
