So I’ve survived my first small brush with the larger YouTube audience with that live video of the Skyrim song (Open Mic Night at the Winking Skeever)<\/a> I posted last week, and I think I came out I think okay. Many more likes than dislikes, noticable spillover to other performance videos, hopefully one or two of those viewers made it here! (Hiya!)<\/p>\n

That was kind of scary, because YouTube is merciless, but coming out okay is good. Almost three times as many likes as dislikes, and over 400 views – it’s not exactly viral, but it’s not bad.<\/p>\n

If you missed it, it’s here<\/a>. It’s about this NPC guard you run into while playing OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, omg, and he’s always complaining about his lot in life. This is kind of him going down to the inn (The Winking Skeever, in Solitude<\/a>) and doing an open mic. Because that’s the kind of thing I find funny: briefly glimpsed and then crushed hopes and dreams. XD<\/p>\n

Anyway, have some links:<\/p>\n

Nick Mamatas has a really interesting post on a certain type of story structure he sees a lot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is an article about a contest to find exploits in Chrome<\/a>, but that’s not why I’m linking it. I’m linking it because what the exploit does. Screenshot at URL. I lulzed. ^_^<\/p>\n

James Marsters gives an interesting interview, 15 years after the premiere of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is going viral right now<\/a>. If it’s not already. It’s in Portland, which, well, really, there is no part of that which is not Portland.<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend, guys – you doin’ anything? Me, I’m going to a show, Bekah Kelso down in at Sidhehaven, where I played back in November. I’ve never heard her, but I know a lot of people who recommend her music. Road trip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
