My god, after four days straight hammer-and-tongs, the next episode is out. Complete with WAAAAGH!!!
Seriously, filming this was cursed. Literally every piece of equipment I have broke. Lights, camera, chair, eveything. I even had to fashion a new tripod out of scrap from around my home. Monsoon hit again right in the middle, changing all the lighting conditions and blasting the backstage audio. And among everything going on, I accidentally hit the 4K button for the second half --- my typewriter can't playback 4K video, so I had to edit the entire second half without actually being able to watch the footage back. Cross fingers and hope!
But the result is pretty sweet considering.
Last video took off pretty amazing, over 3,000 views now, something like 170 new subscribers, and bringing up the other videos with it slowly. Some amazing people are joining the Patreon too, which looks like it will be essential if my gear keeps failing like this. There have been many requests for the rules for this mini-game, and after much trouble shopping around, I think I'll just release them through Patreon once the imaging is ready. So... sign up now? Ha.

Well, 1,000 views in 2 days seems petty good - so thanks to everyone who's watched so far, and everyone who's signed up for the Patreon. Could be a future in this?
I gotta say though, Youtube is treating this video really weird. My first BFG video attracted views almost exclusively from both GW's own channel, and Duncan Rhodes' painting channel. You know, that "epic" video Duncan did where he basically tells me my painting sucks. Ha!
But this video, Youtube isn't recommending it to ANY other warhammer or battlefleet videos - instead it's just random. So the "reach" is impressive, but the target is wrong. I'm told this can happen when the "view-to-like" ratio gets out of whack, which is normal for videos following a popular release.
But still, I don't know, if anyone wants to head over to Youtube and "like" the video, maybe we'll see things smooth out a little?
