October New Videos Roundup!

[@TheKidPyro]

though I do prefer the normal long form content, I dont watch shorts at all, so having a wrap up of all of them, with commentary in between is really nice :)

[@ModernRogue]

Wonderful! That's exactly what I was aiming for. I know a bunch of people don't like shorts, but by golly there were some really good book reports in there... Thanks for the kind words. -Brian

[@matt_cah]

I also like this format, but based on your title, I thought it was a round up of new things you were selling on your website at first glance. You need a better and more clear name for this type of video.

[@BKJ2023]

After watching Great Night 137, all i have to say is you fucked up. You fucked up massively and managed to save you and yourself only. You took this channel, and dashed it to the wind along with everything that made it special. Enjoy your shorts Brian, after 4 years I'm done with The Modern Rogue

To add on, on most people, the distance between 2 of the crevasses is an inch. Hence 12 inches in a foot

[@rko2016]

i'm sorry to say i'd much rather see long form content, i liked you as a layman, trying new interesting skills. i liked it even more when there was a follow up where you either got it, or had an expert come in to help and find success. It was inspiring. i don't see myself following this style of content. Loved the last tea episodes tho.

[@ThePoliticalBulldog]

No offense, but i miss the other guy. The dynamic just isn't the same without him.

What is this unhinged rant? It feels like 60 incomplete video projects. Brian needs a vacation, from all the podcasts. They've been slowly eating him alive.

[@escapedgoat]

I've come so close to unsubbing so many times because I don't watch shorts and thought you haven't been posting things in years. I guess I was wrong, but I still refuse to watch shorts. Your long form videos were much better than anything you had in this video.

[@murk1e]

This has tipped the balance.

[@alexhaladay4345]

I didn't realize I got the british version of Clockwork Orange novel. That last chapter is what made the book great. What I got from it is that, trying to fast treat someone isn't as effective as time. That stuff they did to Alex failed to stop his criminal ways. It was getting older and having a kid.

[@bluishwolf]

It's probably the 1986 American version that has the extra chapter.

[@dillonmok]

Not sure if this was answered somewhere else, but what tool are you using to upscale old videos to 4K? Looks great!

[@ModernRogue]

Topaz! It takes some gentle caressing, but the improvement is remarkable once you get it right. -Brian

Yay!!! Yes, I do wish there was an easier vertical/horizontal solution... I'm certain robots will invent one soon. Thanks for hanging in there in the meantime. -Brian

[@tigerdevon]

for the first matchstick one I did: | + | | + | | | = | | | | V + | | - | | | = | | | | or | + V | - | | | = | | | | I like the answer you gave more. Because it works whether the numbers are decimal, roman numerals, OR tally marks.

[@riuphane]

While I like having the shorts collected together, i don't like seeing "longs" I've already watched. I know scams are how you started, but that's one that i don't learn from, unless the lesson is don't watch half your videos...

[@nerd_world8919]

agreed. I know in the emails from his email list he discussed editing and producing content. This feels like content for the Scam Stuff channel and not the modern rogue

[@dangerclose6303]

Stop using the vertical format.

[@Brodysseus]

It works for shorts, which most people watch on mobile.

@@Brodysseus well it’s about to earn him an unsub and Don’t Recommend. This channel used to be good. Now it’s a lazy way to recycle TicTok, for ad revenue.

[@milessmith6611]

Everybody, please understand that Jason has been gone for a while and is happily working on other projects. It’s not fair to keep asking when he’ll come back and the fact is he’s been gone for a few years now. Just accept it and move on with the content the way it is now.

[@ModernRogue]

My typing fingers thank you! -Brian

[@milessmith6611]

@ thank you actually! I’ve actually been getting back into magic for the last two weeks and been watching a lot of your scam nation stuff. I’m planning on working out a routine with the 4.5 pennies trick and combining that with David Blaine’s biting a coin in half illusion. Unfortunately nobody makes penny versions of the illusion so I might just cut a penny in half and do some sleight of hand.

[@Veptis]

Without the producer checking your facts... I am not sure if I can trust it. Are shorts just standalone content? Oe teasers/clips from long videos? I put videos in my watch later, but not short. And it sould be sad to miss out good videos. so i guess you recapping all shorts in a video made me nor miss it. But I also wonder what direction this channel is gone over the apst year and a bit. Deviant is a great guest, maybe there is more guests to bring skills to the channel (not just stories and facts). Riddles on scams used to be on scam school/nation with pub bar guests. Or the pademic special guests. but i guess some of them get crossposted to here?

[@Seth-vj8vm]

Square root of 1=1?

[@bluishwolf]

Does this guy not know that the missing chapter of a Clockwork Orange has been added back into American releases since 1986?

[@ModernRogue]

That's literally the story I'm telling. The book shown in the short is the exact book you're talking about. -Brian

[@nerd_world8919]

Not really a fan of these kinds of vids. Would rather have new full length content then a pieced together compilation of old clips. Plus the way it’s formatted it feels like it was meant for KZbin shorts

[@Joedirt3349]

😢😢😢

[@meatwilliams]

Is a video considered a short when it’s in a 30 min compilation.

[@ModernRogue]

it's a "long"

[@jointhepac4262]

I 100% thought the answer was 1-1+4=4…

[@John.Doe-OG]

We know you're slow over at the Modern Rogue but..... it's November.

I+I+I+I=IIII Heart beating. 0, because eventually you're going to have an x - x in there. Failed. I was never going to get that. 1000 Failed again. And again. Failed because I didn't know we were allowed to split it into multiple sentences. @17:00 forty! Pretty sure I learned that from vsauce. It's too late for my brain to figure out the Prussian thing. I can't really type the fish answer here, but I got it. Now you're just being evil. Scythe. I didn't even need the clue for that one. I wrote down all 15 words and did not get the word sweet. I didn't have the wherewithal left to try the second time.

[@OhItsAustinB]

I like this new era. More personal and less 'manufactured'. Different guests and different topics all under the 'modern rogue' umbrella is really nice. Things have to change as time goes on, and i think this channel is 'growing' with time.

[@IamCrass]

6:28 im curious

[@brknglasses2734]

This video is amazing, and i loved it!

[@superchunk93637]

I thought it was move the one match from the second plus sign to get i+vi-iii=iiii

[@ModernRogue]

That's kinda in the ballpark. For these puzzles, there's a bit of elegance in the setup so you make it clear that there's a very satisfying "aha" answer. If we were in person, I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with your answer, but I'd point out, that the V is a bit slanty, and suggest "what if there's an even more elegant solution?"

[@DISLEX]

Dude! I love this video! Great job! 🍻

[@IamCrass]

It started me at a random spot in the video. What is ytube doing?

[@CaptainAwsome]

you clicked on the thumbnail but it was autoplay so you actually skipped to the middle of the video

[@Smog666]

Based on the time of your comment and when the video was posted, you likely started watching during the live premiere of the video, something which MR do often. It joins you in at the time elapsed since it was started. Once the video has played through (30 mins in this case), it starts you at the beginning like a normal video.

Base 12 is also known as duodecimal or dozenal - base 60 is sexigesimal...not as you had in your intro...

[@ModernRogue]

Yeah. I recorded an explanation of all that, but cut it for being too in-the-weeds. Basically: one minute is a very short amount of time.

[@barry_t]

@@ModernRogue too may people have math issues, it's important to be correct to those who wouldn't know better. innumeracy is an issue in the US... I know you try hard to be correct, but as a former calculus teacher...well, keep trying...I make mistakes too

[@Proctophile]

1. Move the vertical match from the 2nd plus to turn the number 1 into a 5. 5+2-3=4 (probly wrong) Got the one thousand one correct. Got the giraffe one too. Fish puzzle was easy. Not taking the chesty point. Hint was too obvious.

[@jeremyanderson6395]

Listen Brian I love ya, I really do hope the channel picks back up. But you gotta let the scam school shorts go. The fancy bar tricks aren't in the same league as the modern ROGUE. We want the down low on making beer, ways people get into locations they are not supposed to. We want to see bows, and spear throwing, and knife making. Look at the top 30 videos on the channel, give us more of that.

[@ModernRogue]

Oh, you'll still get all the familiar style content. Those just take a while to cook (we shot that stuff with Dev months ago). Nothing's changing, except you getting more of my time, energy, thought, and effort. One of these shorts will end up being a giant explody thing eventually... but I'm sure you know that experimentation and iteration is all part of the cooking process. Thanks for the encouragement! It really helps to keep me pushing. -Brian
