Thanks for an interesting look back. WordStar came with my Kaypro computer way back when. You might look into writers who're still using the best of Word for Macs, Word 5.1a.

One door away from heaven was my favorite it got me into dean koontz now I'm readin false memory

People who use vim everyday: "yes, and?"

Shawshank

I hate all Signet covers. Good list though.

The Door to December, aka Eleven; the novel.

I doubt this can sync online. Useless nowadays.

The GOAT. Not precisely the kind of book i generally read, butvthe level of research,, accuracy and straight up prognostication he brought to his books was impressive.

I just started reading his books and they are amazing, I loved the odd Thomas series!

He just chilling and being an cat

or you can use vim and not activate any plugins, not activate spellchecking, remove number lines etc and you get almost the same experience but with vi commands, so much better

Ah nooooo I was enjoying this so much until you Meh’d ‘from the corner of his eye’ - by far my favourite Koontz book by a mile and I’ve read them all. Can’t continue watching now. Thanks for the 11.20 minutes though! 👍

It's always a she.

This aged well how eventually a chunk of Gen Z has since returned to a flip phone or a simpler phone

What do you think about misery?

Blud is patient

Unless I missed it, have you read Fear Nothing as you have read Seize the Night. I’m forever waiting for the apparent third book to be written

My introduction to Koontz was Life Expectancy and it was given to me as a gift. I was always a King fan so reading Life Expectancy made me a fan. I love Odd Thomas and Frankenstein. Strangers is a great one too.

Midnight paperback was my first seance.

Dean Koontz writes great psychopaths because his father was a certified one in real life.

This feels like the golden age of KZbin at least in my opinion

lol this is asmr

Hi ! Thanks a lot for this tuto ! Where could I buy this PC it is beautiful ? Is it expansive ? oR is there better PCs that work on MS-DOS ? Thanks again.

Sorry but Fear Nothing is the first in the Moonlight Bay series, not the second. You also missed One Door away from Heaven and the servants of twilight came out a lot earlier.

I always wondered about the viability of using Vim or EMACs for writing a book. I swear by Vim for writing code but that's because it allows effortless editing.

No December 21 2012 was not the Apocalypse.. still here in 2024 and things are not looking good... where is the "human" race going! 🤔

peanuts and any other nuts are very high in fat - this can cause serious liver disease.

The Bad Place is my favorite Dean Koontz book.

I didn’t know they could eat peanuts!

What if it thinks about these little brutes making some noises, They are just silly and Awkward

This is, hands down, the best video on writing I've seen on youtube. It's quick, clean and actually says something useful. I've seen a bunch of middle aged women, effeminate men and an old Welsh-Anglo man make utter tripe trying to explain what works for them, doing a horrible job of it and then having endless shilling for their own likewise terrible books. Ellen Brock is the one exception, but I'm getting really sick of seeing soooooooooooo many of these not-worth-listening-to people show up in my feed. Thanks for being a competent guy, Travis.

Thank you!! This has been a difficult read to say the least. Almost done with it, I’m about halfway thru Return of The King and let me tell you, I AM TIRED of this 😂. I enjoyed the Hobbit and was looking forward to LOTR but it’s been a struggle even though I’ve stayed consistent in my reading not just putting it aside. Same as you, I appreciate the world building and the story but the act of reading it has been painful. I HATE the description of terrain and the songs as well. I think I just don’t like his style but then again I enjoyed the Hobbit. I think I need some time once I’ve finished it to accurately decide how I feel about it.

Disagree… the original Salem’s Lot tv series was fantastic!… I watched it in real time when I was 11… scared the living hell out of me… although it strayed from the original storyline with Barlow being more Nesferartu and Straker being more the central focus… what it did right was the atmosphere… the sense and atmosphere of a doomed place that was Jerusalem’s Lot… it was so atmospheric that you could believe that a vampire infestation could actually take place in this small town… not perfect, but per enough if you know what I’m saying

I've never read a single word from Koontz. But I have/had a friend who I wrote with for a long time. She always said I was in her top 5 favorite authors/writers. Top three actually, specifically beating out Dean Koontz, who was one of her top five favorites. So that was high praise, as she was an avid reader and writer. That was before I really began my writing journey. I don't feel like I have any more particularly innate talent than Mr. Koontz, but I can appreciate hard work.

wow the audio peaking... omg.

2:52 noi, and then no again made me rotflmao

hi chinchillas are very sensitive to sound so a toddlers screaming can be very loud to a chinchilla

Wish I could get both trilogies in entirety

😂💯😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂a Chinchilla 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1:16 Chinchilla: What…. ARE you?

A giant screaming children chasing after me, I couldn't imagine a worst nightmare

At least Alastair Reynolds uses windows 95.

Idiota usa os bichos pra aparecer

I can’t get into “the Face” boring

Travis, please come back soon. Really miss your vids, man.

What is Koontz's world view?

Those books were a big deal for a short time, what happened?

Concerning the "Cheat Menu", when they will show is determined by the Help Level. At Help Level 3 the "Cheat Menu" will stay on the screen. As you go down the Help Levels, going from 2 to 1 the main menu won't appear but the sub menus will appear, and at Help 0 the menus will never appear. However, if you set lower than Help Level 3 if you type in the commands fast enough the Menus won't appear. I normally left it at Help Level 2.

i come back every year to watch this.
