Would charlatans thrive in a world with real magic?
I've noticed that a lot of YouTube videos effectively have two titles: one in the text on the thumbnail and another in the listing, which gives us two bites of the cherry. I'm not sure that either title here is great, though. Anyway, this one is for role-play gamers, fantasy writers, and students of

Q50: If you could choose the manner of your end, what would you pick?
The first video I ever edited using DaVinci Resolve. This partly explains why production slowed down a lot lately, but I shall speed up as I get used to it. I'm charging for this, the first one of the current batch, but the rest you will get for free. There shall of course be other videos too. In th

My greatest accomplishment
... is not this video - but in this i talk about what other videos might be! Brace yourselves for six of these, one per day all this week. These videos are not as quick to dash off as you might think. I spent a full day designing what for me are fairly click-baity thumbnails, and even these piece-to

NEVER TRUST YOUR AGENT
Sorry about the foul-up yesterday. Here is a brand new version of the video, rushed to you at no charge in one day. I ramble on about why bright-eyed types who would be your friend and associate may not share your motivations and goals, while saying or believing that they do. It's even longer than y

NEVER TRUST AN AGENT
A quickish ramble on the topic of why human interests never perfectly align. Thinking of signing a contract? Are you sure that their motives match yours? UPDATE: I have taken this video down. I will replace it, and you will not be charged for the replacement. Very sorry. Sometimes, we all mess up. h

What made the Queen so good at her job?
I decided to ramble a bit about what might make a good constitutional monarch. hqdefault.jpg (YouTube)

Disc jockeys - why are they so often so very very bad?
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I recorded it in eleven chunks. Each chunk seemed fine to me, but when they are all edited into one long string, it seems a bit much. When the chunks are small, I can launch into each with gusto, and sustain it fairly well. Trouble is, a great length of gusto

Fantasy Magic: superstitions, uses, and sources of power
Er, well, it's quite long, at least: I ramble about magic in fantasy worlds. If people could use magic, would they still be superstitious? What would they use magic for? Where would the power for the magic come from? I think the second half is better. Nice jacket? Fantasy Magic: superstitions, uses,

Invisibility - a superpower or a curse?
Sorry this one was so late, everyone. The first version of it got hit by a copyright claim, and I had to re-edit it, and the second one had inexplicable SFX trouble (for very simple SFX). Anyway, this is me in my costume that is a nod to the original cover of the HG Wells novel, wittering on about i

If you too could do voodoo would you do voodoo too?
Back to Q217! I give an explanation for the massive gap at the end. Patrons: is it all right for me to charge you for Q217 videos? Perhaps these are not 'proper' videos, because they require no research. Do let me know. If you too could do voodoo would you do voodoo too? (YouTube)

A sublime moment
This video has done much better than expected. It was the second of the three I scheduled to be published while I was away - hence your seeing it a bit late. A sublime moment (YouTube)

I'm taking a DNA test
This wasn't quite the video I intended. I live in a city that is pioneering in the field of genetics. Newcastle University has one of the oldest genetics departments, and there is the International Centre for Life here, so I had high hopes for an interview in a laboratory filled with machines that g

Whom do you admire the most?
Is admiration necessarily idolatry? I suppose one could say that it is not. The comments section seems to be saying that I equated the two things when the distinction is important. Perhaps so, but one becomes the other when it is the person and not the person's skills or deeds that become the object

Professionally successful or privately happy?
I went away to Poland for a while, and scheduled various posts to appear here in my absence. I regret to report, that upon my return, I see that none of them worked. None worked in Facebook either. Oh well. The next of the Q217 series. Q217: Q14 Professionally successful or privately happy? (YouTube
