[wiggledebarf]

This is one of my favorite videos ever!! I keep showing it to anyone who claims they are a Browncoat! :)

[polingJames12]

Long Live the Alliance. The verse needs order

[pearsonm957]

So so good, you have to be a true browncoat to get the references

[Fenjakiki]

this makes me so sad .... knowing that there will probably never be more ...

I'M A FAN TO THE GRAVE! great song btw :D

Hey, ActorPat, you're officially my favorite person of 2011! Go out and celebrate with a jug of mudder's milk. You've earned it.

[Ghostlyghostgamer]

@AmbiguityofExistence The Hero of Canton won't be drinking that shiong mao niao! He drinks the best whiskey in the house!

[Rhooney01]

Amazing job you have done. Is there anyway for me to get it to my phone so i don't have to keep going to Youtube to listen to it? 90% of the time im on my phone i can't access Youtube at all

[ActorPat]

@Rhooney01 Thanks so much for watching! :) If you like, you can buy the song off Bandcamp (link in the description) and you can take it wherever you like. ^___^

[dmasker42]

I usually do not enjoy rap in any form, but this just makes me so happy. Bravo my friend, you have made a rap song that can be heard by someone who normally can't stand it. I love this video and song, so well done.

[ActorPat]

@dmasker42 That's one of the shiniest compliments I've gotten. Thanks so very much! :)

[winddancir]

This could have been good, but one big mistake. It's rap.

[TheHitMonkey]

@winddancir Stop taking LSD.

@Windmagic444 Hehe, I'm sure you'll find someone much shinier than myself out there. Thanks so much for watching! :)

[thespiscraeft]

@ActorPat - Yeah. My girlfriend's a nerd. Shiny indeed.

[emphaticnerd]

This is the most epic thing I have ever seen in my life! Will you marry me?

[WendyStringer48088]

As a general rule I do not like "Rap" music, but this song I absolutely Love! The music rocks and the lyrics are very creative with lots of great references to the TV series Firefly and the movie Serenity. The words and the music are just great. Thanks for making and uploading this for us to view and enjoy! All the best to you in all your future projects.

[ActorPat]

@WendyStringer48088 Thanks so much for the kind words! :D

[redbandit501]

cant take the sky



[ActorPat]

@redbandit501 Browncoats for life! :)

[icehotrock]

This video perfectly encapsulates my love for Firefly. I can't count the number of times I've watched it, but of course, every time it is over, I feel a deep and overwhelming sense of sadness, not unlike true grief. And then, there is a small wash of warmth that is brought with the sudden self-reminder that, yes, there is still Serenity.

Then Serenity ends, and it's all about anger towards Fox and discussing it with my fellow Firefly avids.

[ActorPat]

@icehotrock T'was an incredible show for sure. Thanks so much for watching! :)

[GromElfkiller]

Made my day! You have some great stuff, I'm subscribing.

[ActorPat]

@GromElfkiller Thanks! :)  Much appreciated! ^___^

[WJBardenV]

OK, that's it. I'm gonna see f the California Browncoats will open a viewing for Serenity at next year's comic con with this.

[ActorPat]

@WJBardenV That's beyond shiny! Thank you! :)

[5of12]

...This wins the internet

[ActorPat]

@5of12 And you've won my thanks for watching! ^___^

[Neddhartha]

Beyond shiny!

[ActorPat]

@Neddhartha Thanks so much! :)

[chrysshart]

[ActorPat]

@chrysshart Thanks! Message me your email and I can send it. I'll have to re-upload the link (I think it's broken for some reason) to the download. Also stay tuned in the near future for this and other nerdy songs to be on iTunes! :)

[Genome852]

Curse you FOX for your sudden but inevitable betrayal. LOL.
