Time Text
Hello and welcome to my 200,000 subscriber vlog.
I never thought I would have 200,000 subscribers and I probably said the same thing in my 100,000 subscriber vlog.
So I don't really have anything new to add because this is all unexpected and uncharted territory for me.
So yeah, I'm just supremely grateful that you watch my videos.
And you like them.
And I take my channel very seriously and I work very hard at it.
So thank you.
For people who are relatively new to my channel and aren't aware of the other things that I do, I have three other channels.
The first one is my live stream channel.
Because, well, this main channel keeps getting copyright strikes from people who are pissed off that I am critiquing their work.
So I have a separate channel for live streams.
The other channels that I do are one called Ancient Recitations, where I do readings of audiobooks and ancient texts and all kinds of interesting things like that.
At the moment, I'm about halfway through reading the Communist Manifesto.
Should be up in a few days' time.
And my third channel is called Vevictus, which is apparently in Legacy of Cain, but I've never played that.
I know it from the famous quote from Brennus when he conquered Rome, the Celtic warlord.
When they complained about how he was extorting them for money, he just threw his sword down and said, woe to the conquered.
And that's what it means.
And it's a gaming channel where I get beaten a lot at the games I play.
But I do live streams there.
I put videos up.
And at the moment, I have a live stream of Fallout 4 on there that I've done recently.
And I will be doing more.
And I also, I've played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons in my life.
And so I've started ripping off Spoonie and doing little monologues of interesting things that have happened that I think other DMs could benefit from.
Because I DM'd a game for about, I don't know, seven years or something.
From the very, very earliest levels, right through to like epic levels.
And so I think I've got a fair amount of experience in the subject.
And yeah, I do these little monologues there.
And I really enjoy doing them.
So it's nice to relive the old days.
And finally, I have a recommendation that's not mine.
Normally I would probably give out a bunch of them, but I'm just going to do this one guy.
He's called Trey of Triforia.
And he makes videos that I really like.
And he's really funny.
And I could listen to him all day.
And he makes about one video a year.
Because he's a twat.
So do me a favor, go and subscribe to his channel and leave him a comment so his mentions are fucking demolished.
Absolutely destroyed.
Because I just get him making more fucking videos.
He's one of my favourite content creators and he makes no fucking videos.
It pisses me off.
I like harassing the guy.
And finally, something that arrived today in the post that I've been waiting for for ages was my Fallout 4 Pitboy, which I figure I may as well unbox on camera.
But looks fucking awesome.
So yeah.
I haven't had enough time to play enough Fallout 4 yet.
I'm insanely busy with a lot of stuff, but um, oh wow.
Isn't this cool?
How the hell do I get into this then?
Can I break this?
Do I dare break this?
Should I break this?
This way up.
Jesus Christ, alright.
Can I just pull this out?
No?
Fuck.
I'm really reluctant to do anything that causes serious damage.
Wish my nails were longer.
Oh, yeah.
Um, so while I open this, I'm going to um something called SwinCon in March 2016.
It's a convention for geek stuff in Swindon.
And I'm thinking about um, I'm thinking about hiring a table there.
Not that I'll be selling anything.
Just I thought it might be nice to have a table there so I can just sit down, chill out, maybe bring a few beers and just relax.
Um just why not?
So yeah, okay, so you open this way up apparently.
Um, how the fuck does this work?
Fucking hell, how does that work?
Aha.
Um, right, okay, excellent.
So it comes with a copy of Flight 4, which actually has, I'll probably give that to a friend.
Um, but uh, it's a very nice-looking copy actually.
And I interestingly, my computer doesn't have a disk drive.
I recently purchased a new computer and doesn't have a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, Jesus Christ, DVD-ROM, or rewrite or anything, so I'm gonna have to get one.
Um, Vault Dweller Survival Guy, condensed the vision.
Ah, it's not fucking game controls.
Oh, damn it.
Pip-Boy Instructional Manual.
Ah, okay.
Oh, this is man, I'm gonna be wearing this shit.
Right, so onto the pip boy itself.
this is cool put down to the side so So, comes with a nice stand, and it also this is it.
Now, copy back.
So, for my last birthday, my lovely wife had this commissioned for me from someone on the internet, which is, as you can see, a little pit boy.
Which you can you've got a few dials to fiddle with and stuff, and it looks very nice.
But the problem is, I don't have the world's smallest forearms, and so if I oh, yeah, it comes with a nice uh Brotherhood of Steel keyring, too.
Um, yeah, I don't have the world's smallest forearms, but if I can figure out how to open this, it it simply doesn't close over my arm because I guess it was made for a guy who was quite skinny.
I'm not that guy, but it's very nice, and she's annoyed that I haven't like used it or displayed it in a video or anything, and so now I have so it's a very thoughtful gift.
And I mean, if you compare it to the size of this pip boy that I've been sent, you can see that this one is quite substantially smaller than this, the other one, the new one.
Um, so I hope I'm hoping the new one actually fits on my arm.
So, when I go to the Swindon Comic-Con, um, I'll um I'll be able to take my phone on my pip-boy, which would be very cool.
Okay, right, that's a good start.
Yes, right, excellent actually does fit over my fucking fat arms.
It's hard to fucking see it.
I haven't put the uh phone in or anything because I need to work that out.
Um, does it have power?
Probably need to put batteries in it.
Oh this is cool though!
This is so cool!
It's so nerdy, I love it.
But yeah no this f this is f oh shit, I think it might have just broken something.
Oh shit shit, I hope that wasn't important.
Oops.
But anyway, I'll figure out how this works and thank you to everyone for subscribing and I will be doing many more videos in the future because I guess I imagine some people worry about not having enough to talk about but my problem is there aren't enough hours in the day.
At the moment I'm reading through the Manifesto of the Islamic State and holy shit, these guys are serious man.
Obviously I don't need to tell you that I'm sure.
But they're not just like they're not just Islamists.
You know, they've got a specific ideology to them.
But I'll go through it when I've got the video.
But this is my problem.
It's not that there isn't enough to talk about, it's there's not enough time to talk about it all.
So yeah, he expects many more videos and thanks again for watching.
And make sure you go and subscribe to Trev Trifori and just give him some help for me.
Thank you. Responsibility form.
