A video within a video

This will make more sense once the next proper video comes out, but I thought you'd all get a kick out of it. This is a 3.5 minute video on a dumb little gadget I had... which I shot and edited entirely on Betacam SP, using an early-90s linear editing rig. Three guesses what the next video is ab...

Video: This Is A Hard Day's Wonderful Night To Remember

yes that name is a placeholderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ1a9D-8yyUalso comments are off on the video bc i know I'm gonna rerender it; please leave comments here, thanks!i have been working on this video nonstop since the last one came out. it was supposed to be a quick release in time for...

i hope you all like CDROMs

i have so many

Side channel video: baby AT repair

Hey everyone, Happy New Year. I had some cool fantasies about having a new main channel video out in time for New Year's Day, would have been neat if that worked out but it didn't, that video ended up requiring a bunch more research, will hopefully be soon.However, I did get a fun new comput...

Video: Revo and Xbox (finished)

This should be final, so all the people who ignored my suggestion to not leave comments on the first version can go repost them there. :p

Video: Revo & Zbox

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Gqm1qdXGYHaven't decided on an actual name for this video yet, it was kind of a "i have these two things that are in some way connected; how can i find a common Topic" project that worked better than I expected. I had a bunch of misgivings but I think th...

Oh about that Abit video

Originally when I wrote the video about the BP6 it was going to end up being like an hour and 45 minutes long because I was going to segue into a highly in-depth history of Intel from 1993 to 1999, covering the whole phenomenon of the Pentium pro, Pentium 2, Celeron, etc.Fortunately I had the foresi...

Phone Diatribe

I spent two hours talking about phones. I hope everyone enjoys that.

update regarding that tree

just in case anyone else runs into this situation and is anxious about getting a five-digit bill over it: i now have a new quote for $7700 to get rid of the tree. this is much closerto the median price i saw on google and completely reasonable considering it's a pretty big tree, and esp. since t...

Various updates on my life

I have the feeling it'll be a while before I get another video out and I figured I'd just let everyone know what's going on. Things have been tough for various reasons, and then I had a huge additional pile of stress literally dumped on me a few days ago.Seattle's recent not-a-hurric...

also

I doubt I need to justify anything but just so nobody's confused, I am going to release the latest video publicly as soon as I'm home, because early access etc is not as important as giving people something to distract themselves with today, even if it's late.

Video: NEC TVs / OPS

Terrible day for obvious reasons, here's a video, I'll probably release it tomorrow, Godspeed

Video: Little Guys Season 2 Episode 1

(I'll probably just call it episode 13 or whatever the next one is lmao)After confirming that I was able to produce a quick video in the warehouse, I wanted to go back and see if I could make something a bit more involved, while still not getting too carried away. I think I succeeded.A really in...

Video: Plug N' Talk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvwxLP3xKFoTrying out a new style. Can I replicate this with any subject matter otherthan this specific thing? Who knows! Do I know what to call this? Well, since LTT apparently took "quick bits" already, no. But I enjoyed making it and hopefully you enjoy wat...

Redundant (to you) announcement video

Hey folks, I made a somewhat cleaner video to announce the studio expansion for public consumption. There's nothing in it that you haven't seen already, and I'm gonna release it publicly tomorrow morning, but I figured that's no reason not to post it here - it's not like I exactl...

Video: laserjet and globecaster tinkering

As soon as I got into the new warehouse I realized it could be good for ad hoc videos, so I decided to give that a shot. The result was a lot better than I expected and I hope you feel the same.I do need to improve the lighting, get a better mic setup, a better monitor for my camera rig, and many ot...

Announcement: Expansion

TL;DR: I have rented a second piece of office space and I am very much hoping it will help improve the quality of my videos. in order to explain this, I spent 25 minutes complaining and showing off bits and pieces of my collection.two things I forgot to mention: the new space is 15 degrees cooler th...

Video: The Agony, Ecstacy and Mystery of the Abit BP6

(Idk if I'll keep that title lol)I'm finally back in the studio. Whew.

Rough cut: Microsoft Response Point

I think a few different people asked for this so I figured I might as well share it - this is the roughcut of the Microsoft Response Point video I mentioned in my last post. It's missing a ton of on screen graphics, but nothing that really hurts the narrative (you can fill it in with your imagin...

State of the channel update

A lot of creators have a general purpose update every month; I don't feel like that makes sense for me, but once in a while I feel like I should just let you all know what's going on.The studio is finally tolerable again. I've shot two videos in... moderateheat. Unfortunately, for compli...

Side channel: Help me fix my Play Trinity / Globecaster

Shot in the dark but I figured I should put up something about this because otherwise I have no ideawhere to even begin fixing it. Not much of a video, but I gotta cast a pretty big net if I'm gonna find anyone who can help me out with this godforsaken thing.New studio video probably next week i...

Video: Quick Start Gaiden Ep. 3: A Two For One Deal

This is one of those cases where I saw the thing on the shelf at the store, and by the next day I had a video shot because it was just so compelling. I was going to give it the "cute but incredibly bad and pointless" medal but it actually deserves much better. This thing is just... good, act...

Little Guys Episode 11

Relief at last. I've been having a really tough time making progress on anything - the summer refuses to leave and the studio remains incredibly hot, so I only managed to get in there on an unseasonably cool day (which was still sweltering, just tolerable) last week, and it'll be probably an...

ELMO Transvideo video

No idea how I'm going to come up with a clever name for this one. I decided I really needed to do something approaching a short subject, so here's something only barely remarkable. I like the thing, but it's just one of those things that's exactly the thing that it appears to be.

Little Guys Ep10: Heart Healthy Oats (RC3)

As usual, I found a massive flub (unmuted a scratch audio track by accident) afterpublishing the video. This should be the final version, please leave your comments on this one :p

Little Guys Ep10: Heart Healthy Oats

This video changed a lot from how it started. I bought the machine solely to get a minorly interesting piece of hardware; then I found out the hard drive was intact; then I tried to demo it for it's intended purpose only to find out that none of that functionality still worked; then I reshot the...

Video: Watch Floppies On Your TV

I don't know how this ended up being an hour and twenty minutes longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79sFS3T-o80

Video: Little Guys Ep9 RC2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbSl0GREN9kI made significant changes to this - added a bunch of screen notes, deleted some things, rerecorded a bit, and reshot the entire windows/dos segment, so it's worth another watch. This is the one I'll be releasing on monday, so feel free to copy over...

Video: Little Guys Episode 8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHukN0JsMpoOkay, thisone's episode 8.This video didn't turn out to be what I hoped; spoilers, but I never do get the thing running, it's just too trashed I think. I'm tempted to pull that VIA and try it in another board, but only if I happen to wind up...

Little Guys: Episode 9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAk5fd0WtMgNo, you didn't miss episode 8; I produce these in weird orders, for various reasons - in this case, because my last public video was over an hour and a half long and I don't want to release anothervideo that length right after, so I shot and edited ...
