Alfred Shortstaff and the Cavern of Time Second Edition!


I got around to reading Alfred Shortstaff and the Cavern of Time from cover to cover in print, which is a good medium to, sadly, find errors! Gah! There were at least 40 changes I had to make to the text itself, and then I ended up re-typesetting the entire book because I realized that the spacing on the chapters bothered me. How embarrassing. Well, if you've bought the book already, you now own a rare first-edition copy!

The Lord's Prayer in Anglo-Saxon

I've been fascinated with Old English/Anglo-Saxon since I took a course in college (I wish I could've taken the second course and read Beowulf all the way through, but in retrospect it probably would've been extremely stressful and difficult). I decided on a whim to use my memorization skills to memorize the Lord's Prayer. I think it could be a fun thing to brag that I can do. It was fun, and it helped me understand the grammar of Anglo-Saxon quite a bit.

WarCraft III Easter Eggs: The Founding of Durotar

All right, that should please the thronging crowds for a while—every single campaign in WarCraft III. Looking back, I honestly can't believe how much work I've done. Each video probably took at least a half hour of work per minute of video time, possibly more when you count the research involved. I'm going to take a much-needed break from WarCraft videos, and in a month or two I'll finish with the finale, a video showcasing all the ones I missed.

WarCraft III Easter Eggs: Legacy of the Damned

Whew! I stayed up late and got up early all week to get this thing done. I think I deserve a break. I wasn't planning on doing The Founding of Durotar, but it did turn out to have some Easter eggs, so this is the second-to-last campaign video I'll feature.

WarCraft III Easter Eggs: Curse of the Blood Elves

I always thought this was a weird campaign—my least favorite in WarCraft III. But it has its fun moments. Blood elves were my favorite race for quite a while, and this campaign actually surprised me quite a bit with the secrets it was hiding.

Austin's Thoughts #2

On Weather:

  • Pretty much take the exact temperature and wind speed the place was where I had to mow on Wednesday, and THAT'S what Hell's like. >< And don't be silly. Meatballs falling from the sky would obviously be Heaven's weather.
  • March 25: The quiet, flurrying snow outside is beautiful, in a way... But it's a misplaced beauty, like a man in a wedding dress.
  • Anyone who doesn't like this beautiful rainy weather can move to Antarctica, since that's what the landscape looked like before the rains of cleansing came. It looks like a real spring for once! (Let's hope I don't jinx it)
  • It appears as though after vigorous struggles with each other this week, Spring has finally won the playoffs against Winter. Cross your fingers and hope Winter doesn't try to make a comeback.
  • Water is for drinking. Not for falling everywhere and soaking innocent hardworking people when they're mowing all day long.

WarCraft III Easter Eggs: Terror of the Tides

This one turned out a lot longer than I expected. I may have split it into two if I had known beforehand. The Blink ability really added a ton of secret places. Hope you enjoy! I'm excited to have finally started the Frozen Throne!
