 Hello there, so for a while I've been wanting to do something kind of like this But I haven't really been able to find a good time for it because you know There's a lot of little subjects that you guys keep asking me about that. I want to talk about there's a Couple of things that don't really fit into my normal channel Style that I want to put in here and so I figured I'll just move it all together So there are a couple of questions you guys been asking me about Which I will answer specifically relating to my tab system that I used to take notes when I'm doing my really long in-depth reviews Excuse me. I wanted to give a quick update on what I'm gonna be doing for in terms of videos for the next couple of weeks and I just wanted to give a shout out to some youtubers that I like because Some of them are big and some of them are small But a lot of these I feel just deserve some attention and I find them entertaining and I think you guys might enjoy them too So first, I'm just gonna give a quick update on what I'm doing As of the time of this filming to sleep in a sea of stars the review for that is filmed And it should be out by the time you guys see this after that I'm or after this I should say I'm probably going to release my Twilight clones video because that one is all Scripted and ready to go. I just got to actually get it, you know recorded and edited and after that One of my patrons requested that I do a Warhammer 40k book which I already have lined up that one I'm not super familiar with Warhammer, but I do know some of the lore. It sounds really interesting So I'll I'll give it a shot and well, obviously I'm gonna give it a shot because it was patron requests But I'm gonna be reviewing that one. That one looks like fun. I have a There's one book that I recently finished or at least I decided I was done with because I didn't actually finish it And I might be ranting about that one I'm not sure if I have enough to say to really make it into a big video. We'll see and And finally I have a video on psychic books that I want to talk about like books that are supposed to teach you How to be psychic and how to use telepathy and stuff that one that one is shaping up to be a lot of fun So that I'm hoping to get that out by the end of November Possibly beginning of December, but we'll see next up a lot of people have been asking me about my tab system that I use And yes, it is different from Crimson rogues. So I feel I should talk about it now when I first started doing it it was with a Elixir which was Hilary Duff's really really really terrible young adult series that I read over a year ago And that one I wasn't really planning for it to be as long and in depth as it was I just thought they'd be like a short stupid read that I'd laugh about but it was wrong on or it was bad on so many Levels and just in every way. It was pure insanity. So that's why I wound up making that really long review about it And with that one that was the first time I used tabs and actually believe it or not I had not heard of Crimson Rogue by that point. So, you know, I didn't rip him off We both kind of ripped off strange aeons But anyways and after that I didn't use it for a long time because I would just write out notes longhand as I was reading and I have stopped doing that recently because and I write it out longhand because typing it just It's easier for me to retain the information if I write it longhand basically But also if I write it while I'm reading then sometimes I will Note that oh, hey, this bit doesn't really make sense, but then it's explained later So it winds up cancelling out and so I'll have to like remove that for my notes or remember not to talk about it Or something so I've just determined that the tabs are a little better because I can put something there And then I can go back through the whole book or whole series rather because most of the time I do series and just write out notes that way based on the tabs and the way I do it is Pink is for bad character moments and that means like something with characters being Inconsistent or the narrator trying to make us feel something about the characters that it's not really showing like if they're being a dick But the authors treating them like they're a super nice person Then that would also go in there and just general unlike ability where it's not supposed to be unlikable So that's just you know general character stuff for the most part Blue is bad plot points, which is kind of the same You know sometimes just like wait that doesn't make sense other times It's I just don't like the direction. This is going other times. It's this is stupid You know that that sort of thing and then green is one bad foreshadowing which I feel like that one goes without saying you know the foreshadowing something a little too Blatantly, you know like not only having checkoffs gun hung on the wall But putting it right in front of the audience's face so that they can see it for a full 10 seconds like that sort of thing and Other than that, it's bad world-building or setting details, which I Mean if you've watched any of my videos, I feel like you just have a pretty good grasp on how I feel about that by now Purple is just bad lines in general. So, you know stupid lines stupid bits of dialogue I guess if I were to ever review something self-published that wasn't properly edited I would put misspelled words and grammatical mistakes on there But I don't really do that and then orange is just miscellaneous other other usually winds up being something that just irks Me personally like if the book is trying to push some sort of message that I just hate and disagree with or something like that And by putting all those together I can usually form a pretty clear picture in my mind as I'm reading and right after I'm done reading to Of how I feel about everything and then I can go through take all my notes and in about Usually six to ten pages. I will be I'll have enough material for an hour and a half to two hours And that last bit is really important because usually when I'm doing those really really long reviews I'll wind up cutting out some stuff that I just don't think is very important like in battlefield earth I wound up cutting about five minutes because it was just ranting about how the scots and the American tribesmen could understand each other and they were both speaking English over a thousand years after the world had been destroyed with no communication between them and really they would be speaking separate languages But at the same time I'm willing to work with the book on that like that one's just a little Nit-picky as far as I'm concerned So I wound up cutting it if there's any bit of advice to be gleaned from that it's just Know what to cut because not everything is going to be as important to you as it is to others And most of my other reviews have something similar to that now for the fun bit Here's a bunch of youtubers that I really like some of these guys are bigger than me and I'm already decent sized as is so I'm not gonna spend too much time on them partially because one a lot of these guys probably have considerable overlap between their fan base and mine and to I Feel like yeah, just a quick shout out is enough to get you over towards them They don't really need the help that much whereas the smaller ones I really do want to help out because sometimes all it takes is that little push and that's what brings their channel Into everyone's recommended and then they start watching it and then from there they have something to build on and grow and you know That's basically how my channel got started. I'll talk a little bit about that in a sec But I just kind of want to pay it forward, you know first up is Daniel green. Yeah, pretty sure you're all familiar with him He's just a dude who likes to talk about fantasy and sci-fi mostly books but he does go into other stuff as well he's branched out a bit and My channel actually started when he gave me a shout out or it didn't start that way I've been around for a while, but he just shouted out my wheel of time video and then a whole bunch of people watch that and then it just Sort of exploded from there So thank you Daniel, and if that sounds like something that interests you check him out next up We have strange aeons now strange aeons does do a lot of book reviews kind of like I do like she made fun of Onision's books and she's also made fun of some bad fan fictions and stuff and She also does a lot of miscellaneous stuff like she just looks into weird tumbler stuff and Just I don't know. I guess you'd call her a vlogger or vlogger I kind of hate that word if I'm being honest, but you know She does have some overlap with me, and so if that's something you're into that's not all that she does But she does do a lot of it and admittedly she doesn't go into as much detail as Someone like me does but they're still fun Then we have hello future me who gives a lot of videos on world building and writing advice Which are really really good. He does focus a lot more on like video games and movies and such then I do but You know variety is the spice of life, and he does do some more in-depth like thematic stuff as well So he's pretty fun, and his stuff is really well put together really well researched really well Edited it's they're just fun to watch then there is crimson rogue now crimson rogue just like me does long in-depth book reviews He occasionally does smaller shorter ones as well when he it's just something. Hey, I thought this was okay, and But he mostly got known for doing reviews of movie adaptations of books I believe the show is called the book was better, which come on man hurry up get the next episode out It's been like what six months. It's been a while But yeah, he does a lot of that and it's a lot of fun Like if you like my stuff again, you probably have already found his but if you haven't go check him out Then there's Dominic Noble who falls into a similar category He also does movie adaptations of book reviews, and he occasionally reviews books on their own and Yeah, he's fun He has his own style though, and that's the one thing to keep in mind about all of these is even if some of us have Overlapping areas that we cover. I think we all have different enough styles But at the same time it's easy to accidentally creep into ripping people off That's part of why I've never reviewed Onision's books because other people have already done them They've done them a lot better than I probably could and I don't want to retread old ground and Plus, I really just want Greg to go away and the dude thrives on negative attention So I don't want to bring him more attention That said if he ever gets around to releasing his fabled fourth book that he's been working on forever If enough people want me to I might might do that one I got off topic there for a set but yeah Dominic Noble he talks about movie adaptations of book reviews. He's fun. His humor is Well, it's kind of dumb, but so is mine and admittedly he doesn't go into as much detail as I do But still I'd recommend checking him out and last of the big ones we have Mother's Basement who is You know again really in-depth on a lot of things about like themes and advice and stuff But he focuses mostly on anime and video games as opposed to books or movies or anything like that So I would imagine he's a little bit out of the wheelhouse for a lot of you guys, but he's still He still has some really neat stuff out there, and he's fun and Yeah, there's just good advice there All right now for the medium and small guys who I'm gonna try and spend a little more time on first up is Stoneworks world-building and that one is Exactly what it says on the tin, you know he he gives world-building advice kind of similar to why I do but he talks about Different subjects like again, we're talking about similar things, but different subjects In the same thing and we both have our own styles and everything so it works out pretty well And he talks about the Elder Scrolls a lot in particular Which I think is neat because I'm actually not that familiar with the lore of Elder Scrolls And he focuses on areas that have helped me with my world-building even so maybe even I have blind spots But yeah, he's pretty good So if you like my world-building stuff definitely check out Stoneworks And if you're looking for more in-depth book reviews check out Jordan Harvey now She doesn't upload very often unfortunately, but when she does she will take like a single book and go on about it for 30 minutes to an hour and give a lot of detail about things and go into Themes and the pros and all that sort of thing. I think you get the idea by this point, but she's really good as well She's a Unfortunately small channel so go help her out so tell her James said hi next up is the boy John and he is just kind of You know random sketch comedy or maybe not sketch comedy but he does comedic videos on here on YouTube and He's just really funny. Yeah, I don't have a whole lot to say about that He he has this nice sarcastic or sardonic maybe would be a better word sense of humor and When I first found him he had a couple hundred subs last I checked he had over 10,000 I think so Yeah, go give him some more love too Then there is space rat productions who is kind of in the same boat except his sense of humor is a little bit different And the videos types that he puts out are a lot different as well His are usually less than a minute in length and there tends to be a very understated quality to all of his jokes like I Don't even know how to put it exactly But like it's just so blank-faced whenever he says something bizarre that it really gets me it's my sense of humor and He's I think just a little over a thousand subs so go check him out Then there's Krem of the earth who they are Like distressing me small why why does this guy not have more subs like basically they talk about Cosmere stuff, you know, they talk about the lore and some theories and such And it's very high quality when they do that but more importantly they have music Like they have music about the Cosmere about specific moments in the books and such that have happened that they've written and it's Well, it's really good I hope if there's ever a movie or something adaptation of any of these that they would use music similar to that so That that's a good one. Check it out. Then there is Lucas Arnold and he does impressions of John Mulaney That's about all you need to know Then we have Satan Mad pun now I actually did a response to one of Satan Mad puns videos a couple of months ago specifically his video about how Harry Potter Sucks and I think most of his other stuff is really good, too Like he has several other videos about just going into really long in-depth analysis about other things like you have one on Red Dead Redemption Which is I never thought about Red Dead Redemption that way and I really love Red Dead Redemption So if you're into that video essay type thing then watch Satan Mad pun Then there's that movie chick and she's actually friends with Dominic Noble and she's been on his channel a couple of times That's how I found her but Apparently other people have never bothered to go check her stuff out Which is a shame because it's actually really funny. She talks about weird movies and weird TV shows and Well, no, that's that's about all you need to know She talks about like for example the WB Tarzan show that they made in 2003 Yeah, the WB network had like a modern reboot of Tarzan where Tarzan was out in the wilds until it was like 1819 and then he came over to New York and helped to fight crimes It's bizarre and she talks about stuff like that all the time. So she's fun. Then we have Ace Vane now this guy I found when he had A couple hundred subs I think and now he has over 70,000. He's catching up to me actually So I considered not putting them on here, but why not like Ace Vane is just He does voice-overs of cartoons kind of like a bridge series Like you remember those like Helsingen bridge and stuff except his are Usually taken from old DC cartoons and they're like only a couple of minutes long and they have nothing to do with the actual plot of the show but this dude has One his voices are really funny that he does and to just the timing of everything and the way he's able to Write I don't even know how to describe it without just giving a bunch of jokes But I have not found writing this tight and this over-the-top and weird But at the same time hilarious since the boondocks So if that's something that sounds like fun to you just just watch a couple of Ace Vane videos. I they're amazing Then there is Max Sabbath now Max Sabbath is a black Sabbath cover cover band Except they change all the songs to be about McDonald's and they dress up as McDonald's characters to do it Yeah, it's really stupid, but my god. It's funny And finally we have something that isn't really a YouTube channel But I kind of want to tell people about it anyways just because it's a lot of fun It's memory TV now memory TV is essentially just English translations of Arab news like and I will come right out and say that it's translated by an Israeli company who having the past been accused of like ignoring more Moderate voices that appear on the news and just pushing forward the extreme ones to make it seem like everyone in the Middle East acts like that but that aside it is amazing to watch these extreme crazy people go on the news and rant about stuff it Oh my god, like I in my Review of my old book that I wrote when I was 15 I put a bunch of memory clips in there And so if anyone ever calls you a watermelon seller or tells them or tells you behave yourself by a lie You will get a taste of my shoe. You'll know where it's from like memory TV Doesn't really have a channel on YouTube But there's tons of clips and compilations out there for the love of God Check them out and make memes and shit because I need more of that in my life That's about all I have to say here like like I said There's just kind of an update slash answering a question that a lot of you guys have asked slash just wanting to help promote other YouTubers, so that's about all Now is the time for the verbal shout-out for my $10 and up patrons Oppo Savalainen be Quinn brother Santotis Christopher Quinten Mbis Emily Miller Evan Stigald Joel Karkat Kitsune Madison Lewis Bennett NB star sad martigan tobacco crow Tom beanie vacuous Silas and vae victims You guys are the best as well as all the other names here And if you want to get stuff like early access to my videos and you can suggest new content You want to get your name on here then consider donating to my patreon And if you either can't do that or you just hate me and don't want to do that then Well liking this video commenting on it and sharing it around Really helps to get the word out and even if you dislike it that also boosts it in the algorithm So really no matter what I win here Anyways, see you guys later. Bye
