I rewatched one of my favourite YouTuber's new songs a while back, then looked through his channel, but found all his old funny as frig video game videos were gone. I whined about it on the music video but he replied that he'd moved them to a different channel goblinman5000 (which I'm sure is a reference to Powerman 5000). So been watching those videos. Like this one right now, I think he's so damned funny and completely undersubbed, but that's just my opinion, man.
"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?
Last night, I re-watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Complete as I've been meaning to watch it due to realising how influential the original was on me as a writer (mostly for writing action scenes), although it was getting too late and I stopped to go to sleep.
Complete is 100x better than the original, much easier to understand what the hell is going on. I watched it with my mum last time and even she could follow it.

Finished watching FF7: Advent Children, Complete today, and it really is a ton pf fun as a movie. I'm happy that Reno and Rude play such a big part in the movie, that was the best decision they made making it. The faces of the characters do have a little bit of an uncanny valley vibe when they talk sometimes.

Not watching right now, but Fredrik Knudsen finally released a new video. He's like the Internet Historian but covers more niche subjects (seriously, this is super niche) and takes it far more seriously).
Automatically Appended Next Post: I'm actually watching this right now. He's a damned good YouTuber, I became a Patron a while back.

Feral Historian is good, but sometimes leans a bit too (small c) conservative and Libertarian for his own good; but he still has interesting takes on things.
Plus, as a fellow mountain living person, his videos in the wild are fun.

Yeeeaah, I don't always agree with his takes too.
Last night, I watched the latest episode of Dan Da Dan and man, it had to be one the best so far. The level of imagination on display boggles my brain. What a great show.

Last night, due to a convoluted series of events, I watched the original Naked Gun trilogy. I wanted to watch Tropic Thunder due to seeing a video about it on YT, but I had to buy it. The I remembered I have a DVD of Airplane! But it wasn't compatible with my Blu-ray player for some reason (I bought it from a dump shop so it could've been scratched to hell high and back, but I checked the disc and it seemed fine, so okay) so I found Naked Gun on Netflix and decided it was the next best thing. Enjoyed all three, especially the meme'd gunfight at the end of the 2nd one. It was weird seeing OJ Simpson in it knowing what he'd done...I mean ALLEGEDLY done years later. He was actually a pretty good actor and seeing him get so beaten up was all the more funny in hindsight, lol.

JAWS is back in the theaters for its 50th anniversary.
Excellent movie.
So, took me 50 years, but.... i can now say that I've finally seen Jaws beginning to end in one sitting.
Excellent movie, well worth the tkt price.
(For the record, I HAVE seen Jaws before. Just as clips, segments, etc over the years on TV, Cable, VHS as a teen, YT...) just not all at once until this evening. )
A few youtube channels run by former Special Forces guys (Anti-Hero Podcast, Valhalla VFT amongst others) have been going to town on Tim Kennedy and John Mcphee (both former Special Forces guys) and their outlandish claims made in books and podcast shows.
Been very interesting watching that community of high level warfighters finally speak out and push back on the grifters. Some of the claims were so obviously bullcrap that its almost cathartic to see them get called on it.
My oldest brother had some dealings with a few folks mentioned in some of the stories of the early days of GWOT, so it hit pretty close to home.
