Deathclutch winner and other stuff
🕑 Added 2024-08-18 22:51:59 +0000 UTCFirst off, congrats to ArdorsAndArbors for your winning Brock competition entry! It was a close run thing but your Nabokov inspired ode to Lesnar stole my heart. DM me your address and I'll send you an autographed copy of Death Clutch. Autographed by me, that is. But if you want I'll forge Lesnars signature.
So its been a couple of weeks post video now, and I've been debating about what to do next. I think I'd genuinely feel like I'd be letting you all down if i didn't make an attempt to finish off the Lineal HW story, so this is me, committing right now, tonight, Sunday 18th of august, to getting the 3rd video done next. As I said last week, I genuinely don't know if I can wrap up the whole timeline in one video, but I'll do my best.
I had debated about the next video for a few days, as I had another idea come back to be. Something I've been toying with the idea of for about a year now. And I think I'll make it a reality as soon as Lineal part 3 is done. I'd like to attempt a real, proper video about none other than Count Dante himself. I did like 10 or 15 minutes on him in The Madness of Make Believe Martial Arts, but there's a lot more to the story than that. That video was fairly surface level research and I'd love to do a proper deep dive into his story. It'll be difficult, as there is genuinely very little footage of the guy, but I'll find a way to make it work. His story is genuinely nuts, cocaine, pet tigers, playboy models, staging competitions to knock out live bulls, the guy was fucking mental.
But first, I owe you all the conclusion to the Lineal saga! It will give me time to better prepare for Dante's inferno anyway.
So just to keep you all up to date on what's going on with myself and the channel behind the scenes, part of the reason I did such a big push to try and spread the word about the Lesnar video was that after it dropped, its numbers were going to be used as a kind of leverage to help get the History of MMA series I've been working on picked up by a production company. I previously had a company in the US trying to sell it to a streaming service, but my guy I'm working with felt they were taking way to long getting it sold, so we took it back from them to see if we could find someone else to get it done faster. We found a new company here in Ireland, and they were all hyped after seeing the trailers and series outline, and the numbers for the Lesnar video were good, so seemed like we had a god start. But the head of the production company was an old guy in his 70s who just didn't get it and ultimately passed on the idea. Honestly I'm not surprised, MMA is still kinda looked down by by a lot of the older generation here, so when I heard this dude was 70, yeah I kinda figured it wasn't gonna happen. If it had been the history of fucking Gaelic Football or something, it probably would've been snapped up. Disappointing, but we've still got contacts in other places lots of other avenues of attack to get this shit sold. It does mean I have to ride the bus to the office tomorrow morning like always though, which sucks. No retirement for me just yet...
fuck.
Other than that, I'm just enjoying my downtime. Bingeing some videogames (Kunitsu Gami, Thank Goodness you're here, Elden Ring, and thanks to the steam re-release, Doom 2, and also some Doom 3 as it's that games 20th anniversary, fuck what people say, Doom 3 is great). Thank goodness you're here in particular is an instant recommendation, and the less said about it the better so as not to ruin anything for you. All I will say is that it is unlike anything else you'll play this year and genuinely hilarious.
I did make a start on reading House of Leaves too, got a whopping 5 pages done, only a thousand or so left to go. I'm nailing this.
Thank you again everyone! I'll catch you soon, with the inaugural Lineal 3 update post!
Take care everyone, and Just Bleed.

Hmmm. I could see Master Dillman creating a chi shield against the flames and C4. We'll played
Napoleon
I’ll just use the Dilman defense
Graham Clark
When you finish house of leave you gotta play house.wad
ruatnec66
Careful the black dragon society might try to blow you up for talking about master Dante

oh man the channel is entertaining enough that i've watched everything but the fake fighting shit is what got me interested in the first place, i can't wait for more of it
Joseph Jackson
Sorry. If 1 and 2 are piss and shit, then 3 is cumming.
Infernal Jim
It's absolutely wild!
Napoleon
Dude! It was myhouse.wad that got me to buy house of leaves in the first place! Honestly I think myhouse is the most enjoyable thing I’ve played this year
Napoleon
Cheers Monkey!
Infernal Jim
With you playing classic Doom and reading House Of Leaves, you should definitely check out the MyHouse.wad mod (huge inspiration from Leaves). If unable to play through it all yourself (it's huge), definitely worth a look at Power Pak's video covering it, the length is completely justifiable and necessary. It's a trip!
Napoleon
Yep… 20 fn years. I bought it in release day and pulled the curtains and played it all weekend. Good times. Simpler times 😭😭
Napoleon
Well nowadays it’s all setroid controversies or maybe a real POS like Conor going for SA allegations etc.. back in Dante’s day it was firebombing dojos and fucking sword fights.. no contest at all
Napoleon
3 your pants???
Napoleon
Yeah I hope I can pull it off, it’d be such an interesting topic to dive into properly
Napoleon
Well it is a sport for shillelagh swinging mountain men, but it’s not niche 😂
Machine in the Monkey
A video on The Deadliest Man Alive would be insane! The Brock Larsner vid was golden too mate and congrats to ArdorsAndArbors 👏 cheers Nap 🤙
Matt
I was in Dublin once just to hit the underground music scene and to take a picture of the Phil Lynott statue. But it was the day of some Gaelic Football final and the city went crazy for that. Always thaught that this was just some niche sport performed by shillelagh swinging mountain men.

A dedicated Count Dante video sounds AWESOME. Maybe it makes me a terrible person, but I'm utterly fascinated by martial arts frauds. Especially from the bygone era before the internet and social media made exposing them so much easier.
Cueneyt Aslan
Hahahaha, god dang it Nap.
Joseph Jackson
Man a long form video of Count Dante would make me 3 my pants so fucking hard.
Nik_W
Is it me, or are the controversial guys of our era sort of bland, compared to the days of yore? I mean, Count Dante and, say, Gene LeBell vs Jake Paul.
Ricky Finn
FUCK doom 3 is 20 years old?? Mate I had to play that game with the door open it's was genuinely terrifying. I fucking LOVED it, especially the beginning. Nap the Lesnar video was awesome. Loved it. Still stuck in my pants, they won't come off
Ben Cahill
I wish I could respond with that picture of the just bleed guy in a shirt at the computer 😂
Napoleon
Knackered to be honest. I’m in IT surprisingly 😂
Ben Cahill
You must by dying in work on Monday mornings, without doxxing yourself, what kinda work do you do?
Napoleon
He’s a complicated man. And no one understands him but his woman. Oh shit no wait that’s Shaft
Napoleon
I could go to bed. Or I could stay up and watch this hour long retro review of Doom 3.
Cueneyt Aslan
Bro, you need a more humane update schedule. It's in the middle of the night. Ain't nobody reading all of that. Go to bed my man.
DanDrako
I wonder if you'll like Dante more or less by the end. Could be a CM Punk situation
Gabriel Haines
I love your videos man. I laugh every time. Keep it up
