I basically never get the sort of crazy comments that most of the YouTubers I know do. I don’t think I’ve ever had a comment that was in ALL CAPS, for example. No death threats, no personal insults...hell, it’s rare that anyone even says “I didn’t like this.” I don’t know why that is. It isn’t as though I steer clear of controversial topics, but I’ ( Read more... )

YouTube is ruining me as a writer. I mean, I think I’ve done some decent writing there. I am very proud of some of the scripts I’ve written for videos (I still think that “Bob” could be expanded into a compelling article, if I ever stop being lazy). But I’ve achieved a modest sort of success there, and as I’ve racked up more subscribers and more ( Read more... )

Hey everybody. A new video at last, with transcript following the embed, as usual.
A bit of context: a user named SamiZaatari published a video recently (well, several weeks ago, now, since it takes me so long to make these things) asking atheists what evidence would convince them that God exists. This is my reply. I must point out that the ( Read more... )

Man, this one took forever. I’m getting closer to my goal of doing videos that are ONLY my own content, but as you’ll see there are still a few photos in this one. I’m starting to experiment with a more cartoony style as well (not that my regular drawings are photo-realistic, you understand) in hopes that it will make the process easier and faster ( Read more... )

Hey, everybody. Happy Bogey Day! I know, I write about this every year, but this year I made a video. It's just a little silly thing, but it's fun. Most of the stuff in it, of course, is stuff you've read here before, but if you'd like to watch it anyway, I'll embed it. I hope you all enjoy it, and that everyone's day kicked very, very serious ass ( Read more... )

You know, I should start a series about all the holidays I celebrate instead of celebrating the holidays everyone else celebrates. That might be fun. I’ll think about it. Anyway, today is Ed Wood Day, one of the happiest days of the year, and here’s my tribute to the great man (I admit that I’m using a definition of “great” with which some folks ( Read more... )

Finally! I hope y’all dig it. And Chapter Two, well, it might be a while….

Hello, brothers and sisters. I am OgreVI, and I did not choose my first theme song. It was assigned to me by a young woman for whom I had great affection. She always called me Joey. My name is not Joey, but that was the name of a Concrete Blonde song that she thought was ( Read more... )

I didn’t get my “Coffee with Claire” this morning, as a result of which I’ve been bitchy all day. So I took a night off from the endless drudgery that is the making of “Joey” to make this. It’s just a little fun thing, although I sincerely hope it upsets the person it’s addressed to. Also, I hope you guys enjoy it, and as usual, a transcript ( Read more... )

Oh, man, this is cool. There’s a guy name of Phat Larkin on YouTube who is, I guess…well, is it proper to call him a fan? Am I at the point of having fans? Well, anyway, he really digs “Angry.” A couple of weeks ago he sent me a message asking if I’d mail him one of the sketches from that video. He and his friends, he said, had taken to quoting ( Read more... )

This one really speaks for itself.
