Lineal Update 10: Double Digits
🕑 Added 2025-06-15 23:58:12 +0000 UTCGood evening gang!
I hope you're all doing well this fine Sunday eve. The above video is just me experimenting with some new filler graphics i made specifically for this video, and I'm pretty pleased with the result! Not exactly a thrilling update, I know, but hey, it's all progress...
The graphics are taken from a couple of posters I've made for the video, just as the release gets closer I wanted to make some hype shit to post on insta/YT etc. Please enjoy!
As for the video itself, we are officially at the two hour mark as of tonight. I just finished writing and recording the post lineal career of Bigfoot Silva.. spoiler alert: his career did NOT go well.
But yeah that puts the video officially at 2hr 3m runtime as of this evening, making it the longest lineal video by over 30 mins. And at that, I'm kinda at a crossroads now. Its taken 2 hours and 9 weeks to get this far, and i still have Cains post lineal career, Werdums 2nd lineal reign, Stipe, DC, and Ngannou to cover. At this rate, its simply not possible to finish the video by the time I had originally planned (July 4th weekend for release on YT, and the weekend before that for you guys).
I can power through and try and finish this thing in one video but were probably looking at another 4-5 weeks of work, and I'm also painfully aware this could lead to burning myself out and rushing the end which obviously I want to avoid. I'm also painfully aware its 3 months now since my last release and unfortunately YouTube demands sacrifices to the algorithm, the longer you go without an upload, the less likely it is to recommend your videos at all. I feel like even wrapping up this video with Cains story, still leaves this as a behemoth ass video that's got some of my favourite work Ive done in any videos so far, including but not limited to a rendition of Katy Perry's seminal smash hit Firework.
I'm gonna think it over anyway, and well see how it goes, but yeah, i apologize in advance if this thing goes to a 5 part series after I had promised to finish it off in 4. Id also be lying if i said part of the reason i wanted to finish it in this video is because i know ill never top Bastards of Heaven for a title... unless i make it BOH Part 1 and 2, like that amazing Zack Snyder movie Rebel Moon Part 1 and 2. Everyone loved those, right?? What could go wrong emulating them??
Anyways, that's all for this week, thank you again each and everyone for the amazing support. As always, it is never taken for granted.
Holy shit i almost signed this off by saying "Kind Regards, Nap". Work brain kicked in out of nowhere.
Just bleed,
Nap.

Napoleon
it was absolutely one of the films ive seen
Michael Crites
Wooof! Rebel Moon, wasn’t that a joy

I know it's late but... "Bastards of Heaven II: Ngannou's Boogaloo"?
Jack Remiel Cottrell
Mate, I am way less interested in you cranking through everything in four parts than I am just seeing the video. In fact, if it turned out you needed to make it a 10-parter I would not be upset.
Vivian Edwards
Please take your time and don't risk burning out. Id much rather get a video late than know you'd pushed yourself to far to get it done early.
FM
Release part 4, sit back , enjoy the view and the world wide epidemic caused by the weapons grade sweat coming through the screens and then get going with part 5.
Nash Cox
I would release part 4, take a break and work on part 5 when you want. Dont get burnt out. You are making some of the best content available in the space.

If the series ends on jones, could name it after the Oscar Wilde book "The Selfish Giant" (or keep it on theme with "The Selfish Bastard")

Kind Regards, Bona

What? You're "Threatening" us with another video?? Oh no!! Please sir! Not an additional Lineal video!! The horror!! Seriously, you're so damn good at this stuff, do what you need to. I know I will consume however many videos you put out. Just don't kill yourself, bro!
Napoleon
Jay my dude. Down since day 1. A true OG 👊
Napoleon
Greatly appreciated Quinn!!
Napoleon
Cheers Quinn! Sadly we’re all slaves to the algo in one way or another 🫤
Napoleon
I mean, so far they haven’t died..
Napoleon
I think you’re on to something with that title…
Napoleon
Cheers man! I’m thinking if there is a part 5, it’ll actually give me a chance to go deep on the shitshow that is the heavyweight division in 2025 and how it’s pretty much single-handedly been ruined by Jones
Evin Cashman
I'd have absolutely no issue with this going to a 5 parter or needing delay part 4 more Nap, whatever you think yourself. Series is an absolute masterpiece and it's conclusion will be a fitting conclusion either way!
Napoleon
I ran the math, it checks out
Napoleon
lol it’s always weird seeing him in anything now, as I immediately just default to picturing him in that fucking clip 😂😂 thanks Shirley!
Napoleon
Damn, wish I’d thought to put that in there!
Napoleon
Cheers Jordan!
Napoleon
Maybe I did fly too close to the sun with this one 😆
Ian P
5 videos is better than 4 so I'm happy with another installment. Don't worry about the title for the next one I'm sure you'll match Bastards of Heaven. Buggers of Paradise?
Allan Hutton
5 parts it is then, no one died 🤷🏻♂️
Mika
I want a video now! Begger cant be choosers but god damnit i can begg.
Quinn Bratteng
I am thinking a 5 part series to help avoid burnout and help with pleasing The Algorithm is probably the play, but I proclaim no expertise in the matter. Psyched for more vids from ya either way!
Andrew Romig
I have zero issues with this expanding to a 5-parter if that's a direction you're happy with. I view Patreon as an expression of absolute trust - you do what you think is right, and I will happily support you either way. Hang in there, Nap.
jason goldstein
Take your time brother—quality over quantity. Your fan base is only growing.
jonhygatinho
Hey nap, hope you and yours are doing great. Ngl when I saw that you were hoping to finish the series on the fourth part my first thought was no way he is going to fit Fedors reign AND everyone else's up until Ngannou in a single video. I understand your frustrations but honestly it's better to go for a 5 parter. And I am going to have to agree that there is no way you are coming up with a title that goes a third as hard as Bastards of Heaven. This one is pure hot sauce. Cheers you glourious basterd <3
Jordan Minehan
9 weeks work and 2 hours of top youtube content. Sounds like a shitload of work to me. I reckon that deserves it's own release. Let the series be 5 parts.
Thomas Hoerauf
No audio, but I somehow still heard that PS2 start up sound.
Shirley Rougely
I don't mind a part 5 if it comes to that; I'm still going back to watch the first 3/fedor reign alongside (trying to) watch the old ufc and pride fc events. If you gotta take a break to appease the YT algo/gods that's totally fine or just a break in general, we'll all still be here when part 4 is done (hopefully). Also, pre "fooking people for free" Jeff Monson was a sight to see when he fought Chack Liddel in ufc 29. Twilight Zone levels of weird right there...
RedDeckTries
5 is a bigger number than 4 so thats just more value to me, the consumer.
Napoleon
cheers Nick!
Napoleon
You may regret those words when Firework hits...
Napoleon
Thanks Eric!
Napoleon
Appreciate it Fred!
Napoleon
Content slop?? You offend me Sir 😂
Frederick Doyon
From here it seems pretty obvious that you would prefer doing 5 parts. I think there would be very few people that complain about that. It's already over 2 hours anyway. I'm also pretty sure that a break wouldn't kill you. Do what's best for you. Your videos are absolute quality and I will watch regardless!
Eric Arvizu
Take your time man, we love the work, we want you to love it too and love doing it
Mr. Grahf
If this series ends up needing five instead of four then it simply needed to be. I don't think any of us are going to hold it against you. This is a monumental task you took upon yourself, we're just happy to be along for the ride.
Nick Burnette
Make an extra part, wrap this one up and give yourself a nice break you’ve earned it
PoopyDick Parker
I have just decided that I speak for everyone, we would watch the video even if you drip fed it to use in 10 minute chunks over the course of the year for we are just pigs awaiting our content slop to sustain our diminishing attention spans. So you do whatever you feel is best
Napoleon
Cheers Dan!
Daniel
Hell yeah those posters go hard. And I for one am totally cool with the series being 5 instead of 4 parts. In the end that just means more video and better quality for us viewers. So do what you feel is right. I’m gonna love it either way.
