Happy new year! - and a sneak preview for what's to come
🕑 Added 2024-12-29 22:09:55 +0000 UTCGood evening all!
I hope you're all doing well, and you all enjoyed the holidays! I spent most of the break playing that new Indiana Jones game (which is mostly excellent!) and watching seasonally appropriate movies. I watched Home Alone with Josie and we found ourselves rooting for the burglars. That's a film best left in hazy childhood memories.. fuck me that kid was annoying.
Anyways! Over the last couple of days I was working on an intro for the next video. Generally how I decide what I'm gonna work on next is, ill make an intro, and if the intro gets me hyped, and I'm feeling it, then ill pull the trigger on the idea and make it into a full blown video. I really like how this intro turned out so I'm confident as of time of writing, that the next video will be the long awaited return to the world of fake martial arts, and the story of Count Dante, the Black Dragon fighting Society, and the dreaded DIM MAK.
This one is a bit of a weird one though. There is so little footage of Dante, that it may be hard to make into a full length video. It could end up that i write the story, and have little to nothing to show in terms of actual video footage and end up scrapping the idea entirely, at this early a stage i really don't know. I wont know unless i try, but wanted to give you all a warning that this idea may collapse under its own weight at any moment and end up not happening! (if that happens, I'll just go ahead and finish lineal part 4..)
I will in all likelihood need to fill in the footage blanks with artwork, so if any of you are artists and feel up to the task of drawing a whole bunch of pictures of Dante in various poses and outfits, each one more revealing than the last, hit me up in DM for consideration!
From myself and Josie, thank you all for your support, and have a great and safe new year! And I'll catch you all in 2025!

man this website is a maze. i ended up finding it last night after i commented but then i couldn't find the comment again to delete it. realized those dogs at youtube made you change the intro song for lineal pt2 and i just wasn't recognizing the new version. anyways thanks man, have a good one!
Napoleon
That was lineal part 2!

nap am i going crazy over here or did one of your videos start with the bloodborne quote "we are born of the blood, made men of the blood, undone by the blood"??? trying and failing to find it, maybe i just hallucinated it though.

MY BODY IS READY TO BE DIMMAKED
Ricky Finn

Napoleon

Ricky Finn
I'll happily send in some crayon-drawn Dante filth mate 😂 what's the adress? I will literally send crayon drawings through the post 😂 (obvs not actually adress, like a P.O Box or whatever)

Count Dante is not The Hobbit. Dont let that tragedy of an adaptation deter you from fleshing out the video just because there is only so much footage of dante himself. Im sure there is a lot of information about Dante, if not in footage.

Can someone send me an invite to the Discord?

If your script is on point dude, you can use crayon drawings for all we care. Seriously. I’m sure it will be a great vid. Can’t wait.
Shirley Rougely
Thanks John and happy new years to you too! I think in the meantime I'm gonna go find and watch the boxing version of the lineal title. It always showed up in the recommended, but never paid attention to it til now.
John Wheeler
Totally agree! Waiting on baited breath for part 4!! Happy New Year!!
Napoleon
Same to you!! :)
Michał Tyczyński
This trailer sounded (looked too) like a pretty good horror movie😄, anyway... ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU IN 2025!😁🤘
Napoleon
Happy new year bud!!
Napoleon
Well i had lunch with him on Sunday, does that count? 😆
KaiserErma
Haha, I can only agree with feeling like that when watching Home Alone these days :) I watched Die Hard 1 & 2 (as usual), they're the only Christmas movies I need. Have a safe new year!

How long until you do something with eyepatch wolf?

Since every great martial artist but one seems to have had connection to the Black Dragon Fighting Society, for the sake of completeness I'm hoping the video will reveal, that the BDFS had developed its most secret and deadliest technique - "birthday snatching". It will make so much sense and answer so many questions.

YESSSSSSS

Lets all get BDFS tattoos!!!! .... Too much? Sorry.
McMatt
Hyped for more Dante nonsense. LFG!
Mike Callahan
Fuck yes let’s fucking gooooooooooooooo

Happy New Year from the Philippines
Mike Huff
Fun fact. I just cnc’d the city seal for Lake Alfred, Florida and thought of you. It’s a large mouth bass jumping from a lake. Sounds pretty ninja, right?

Merry new year Nap & BleedGang!!
Roland Hooton
We must learn the ways of the DIM MAK to protect this video at all costs.
Shirley Rougely
Yeaaaaaah he did it!
Napoleon
i imagine a lot of it will end up almost podcast-esque, but with a script, at least haha
Napoleon
oh its coming, and its coming hard, as Bas Rutten would probably say lol
Napoleon
Hell yes it is lol. The music is from Wolfenstein: The Old Blood too
Shirley Rougely
I'm so hyped for part 4 of the lineal title, I've had the other 3 on repeat and ready for the conclusion!
Matthew Conrad
Having artists recreate the Count's various combat victories would be fucking hilarious.
Alex Camozzi
I’m hype!
Karl Dixon
What's that intro? Is it BJ Blazkowicz? Dante is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Andrew Romig
I find the notion of a bunch of members of the community contributing to recount the madness that was the life and times of Count Dante extremely amusing. Also, if all else fails, you certainly wouldn't see me complain about lack of video clips. I am no stranger to a "podcast"-style format or even just highlighting quotes from his books and/or statements. This is a story I've really looked forward to. The visuals are a tertiary component at most for me.

Hmuph, brick no hit back.

BDFS 4 LIFE

work is overrated
Ash
Yes! We are all joining the Black Dragon fighting Society in 2025.
Joe Dean
I mean I should be doing some work but instead I’m sat in the cellar smoking a fag and getting hyped for fake martial artists. Funny how your life turns out isn’t it.
Benjamin Sheppard
Can’t wait!
