This might be the weirdest side project I've done so far, and I'm not sure it REALLY fits with my channel, but it's something I wanted to share with you anyway, and I didn't have anywhere else to put it (and the great thing about running a variety channel? I can do whatever I want!)
This is an audiobook of Worlds of Power (Book #4): Castlevania II - Simon's Quest, narrated and produced by me. The Worlds of Power book series were novelizations of video games from the late 80s, targeted at a younger (I'd say probably 10 - 14 year old) audience. As the wiki article tells it, creator Seth Godin had the idea to put the series together after speaking to his nephew, who had no interest in reading books and only cared about playing video games.
The intro I've recorded explains the story in better detail, but basically I wanted to practice doing an audiobook, and I ended up choosing this book that I've owned since I was like 9 years old. As it turns out, it's the 30th anniversary of the series, so consider this my anniversary gift to the creators. For my older audience this might be somewhat nostalgic, for my younger audience it might be a curiosity piece. Or you might just think "why did Buckley spend his time doing this?" and that's fine too. It was a fun project, and taught me a little bit about working on something this size.
I've made this public here because I needed somewhere to host the files, and I've promised not to monetize it, so this is NOT a Patreon exclusive. Anyone can check this out. I've also uploaded each individual chapter below, my apologies for the way Patreon has put them out of order, but I assume if you save them in a folder they should sort correctly.
Enjoy!

All of the videos I've posted... on Patreon? Or just in general?

The Patrick Warburten voice for the shopkeeper was the best. Just imagining Simon Belmont buying things from him was fun.

I'm not sure if you embellished some of this but some of the writing really sounds like something you would produce. Intresting, I love it

Fuck, why not? I'll give it a go at work tomorrow. I like the games so this should be interesting.

I've heard a lot of good things about Castlevania, I guess this'll be my intro into it!
