From how well argued and the vocal quality of these three videos, I was under the impression that this was a MUCH larger channel. Really well done, truly. Thank you for the good content. Going back to like the other two videos, and hopefully get this channel more views.

Really appreciate the support.

I absolutely loved all three parts and looking forward to more. Especially Cait Sith part :D

Thanks a lot, I greatly appreciate the support. Part IV is a little broader in its scope so will take a bit longer to get out but its the part I've been the most excited to make.

Great analysis. We need more readings of geek media with this level of depth. Thanks for making this.
