So - It all went well enough. Thank you much.
🕑 Added 2020-05-26 16:05:17 +0000 UTCHowdy there, I figure I'd try to answer a few questions I keep getting (mainly from people who watched the premiere). Those who were there on that day noticed a few interesting if annoying glitches. One, the video kept jumping ahead and other sections were seemingly missing sound or effects.
We had a micro-heart attack on our end trying to figure out what was going on. We immediately stopped watching and enjoying our work to ensure we had a good handle on what was going on. We wanted to see if we'd fucked up at the render, or at the upload, or if youtube had fucked us for our laundry list of sins (namely existing). As we looked on, we found that right afterwards the youtube version reverted to normal and everything was fine.
Issue was apparently the following:
1. A rather large cloudflare outage at around the same time.
2. The Sheer Amount of people watching making youtube mad (a guess) in some way despite them having no trouble streaming to larger channels/premieres.
3. Throttling
That being said, the response was overwhelmingly positive and kind. People often watched it again after it 'sorted' itself out and found the full version suitable.
I am pleased it all went well but I most apologize for youtube having fucked it a bit. They kind of do that just to fuck with folks like me from time to time, or just by being a bit shit in general.
That being said, we're still moving on and have quite a few things planned in the future. As people know, these things take time and the big videos doubly so. Stay tuned, we'll get stuff done as it comes along, and we'll ensure in the meantime you guys have some fun shit coming out. There's a tremendous amount of stuff upcoming for June/July so you folks stuck at home can at least enjoy some weird shit while you're home on the daily or near daily. Pardon for leaving the video up on its lonesome for the rest of the month, it's the ONLY way I can sadly ensure it's seen by the channel because youtube has seemingly disabled many peoples notifications. I've gotten a great deal of commentary on "Why am I seeing this only now", and for that I have no answers. Ask youtube.
Keep your chin up lads, We'll get through this

Looking forward to the mackie, as I don’t think it has a lot of Art, Also I hope we get to talk about one of my favorite people in the Lore. Dr. Atlas! The guy who invited BattleMech

Tech issues not withstanding, I loved it. I am looking forward to the medium episodes. Though I think that the Mackie is going to expand into a massive episode. I am very much looking forward to the great houses. Your take on them will be amazing.
I was pretty sure that its been YT fucking with the premiere in some way after I jumped 1-2 minutes in the past and had no stuttering and as soon as I caught up with the "Live" feed the stuttering was back. Shame you didn't get to enjoy the premiere the way you guys deserved for putting that much of effort into it. The chat was glorious regardless.👍

Even with the blip it was still magnificent, you folks did an incredible job. I'll be rewatching with the GF anyway since she is hooked on Stompy Bots Lore courtesy of Mister Tex. Thanks for everything you do!
It's ok Mr. Tex, after all the work you guys put into it, we can put a little work into watching it. Fuck anyone who complains. Loved it. YooToob can get Focht.

I was only able to listen to it while at work and didn't get chance really sit and enjoy it.

I honestly thought it was the WiFi network I was on at the time. It sometimes chokes at the worst opportunities.

Figured you guys would be frantically looking at what could've been wrong. A pity YT messed with the première, but I think a lot of people stuck around anyway. As someone else mentioned, will be rewatching it several times anyway.. 2x so far in my case. Good job, guys. Good job 👍
Amazing work as always Tex!
