I'll be honest I didn't really have much to post about today, but the fact the video bar actually expanded past it's first initial excuse to have a channel deserves some sort of mentioning. I'll admit these two new videos aren't particularly better than the first, but hey - we are trying to figure things out here. They consist of a random vlog update for when we finish cobbling together our into, and the second is basically a bunch of clips of people hitting each other with swords. None of it is even pretending to be professional, but we had fun making it so what the hell. No harm done, right?
Well, a bit I suppose. That's just natural though with the swords and such. There's also a theoretical third video we were going to post. It's all the material we collected when we were making the intro - yes, there's actually a scene around that silly flag planting. The downside is it all came out so unspeakably terrible that we couldn't even feel justified posting it as a joke (which is how we escape shame for the rest of our work, in case anyone was wondering). It's still sitting on my machine here, but I'm not certain why. We agreed the only way it could be made to be worth showing is it we hooked all the footage up to the cheesiest Manowar track we could find, but that'd require me to actually deal with it some more and the lingering sense of regret and disgust from the first time isn't encouraging that.
I'd welcome whoever accidentally comes to this site to go accidentally watch those videos and call us assholes in the comments. It'll fulfill my expectations of the internet and get us views at the same time. There's ideas abound for future videos and with the success of these hopefully we'll actually keep making them. It's worth noting I consider 'posting them online before lethargy sets in' success here - none of them have any views yet, so we've certainly not gained anything like an audience from this.
In addition there was Trevor's heroic first contribution in the form of the long awaited map making walk through. I'd like to talk about it but it seems like describing it when it's directly below my post would be a bit redundant. So I'll simply say 'hurrah!' and hope some people at least browse through it. Trevor shows up in the new videos too so he's no longer a dubious third name on the contributor list without anything to link to. With luck we'll see some more from him in the future as well.
