Early Access - Chapter Thirteen

Hey

So funny story...

I got some feedback in the Discord recently.  A number of people have mentioned it over the years but basically... some folks don't like the fact that I use the LFG Dungeon Pop sound in my intro.  Apparently it's annoying for anyone that's watching my vids whilst playing WoW (especially if they're literally in the dungeon / raid queue).  

For some people, it creates that feeling of excitement followed by immediate disappointment because they realise it was in my video and not in-game.  And for others, it creates that same sensation you feel when your alarm clock goes off.  Like "Oh shit - I've gotta go to work" or something.

So I decided to change it.  But also decided it would be fun to turn it into a running gag for a little while.  Hence the combination of stupid sound effects after I say "Let's Goooo" in this video.  I'm gonna try and find the weirdest, shittest sound effects and use different ones every video for a bit.  Until I get bored of doing that.  (I know; They say the best jokes are the ones you have to explain)

I would've done this sooner because it's not like I'm massively attached to using the Dungeon Pop sound or anything.  It's just that every person that's mentioned it previously was weirdly aggressive about it so I just ignored them.  This latest person asked very politely so I'm much more inclined to make this change for them.  Strange how that works, innit?

In other news, I've got a whole bunch of disruptive bullshit going on at the moment... which is making it more difficult to get work done.  My Fridge is buggered.  But the guy that the landlord keeps sending round seems to be shit at his job.  He's been round twice now - first time, he was like... "I dunno.  I think it's the board".  Second time... "Oh dear... I've brought the wrong board".  Hopefully third times the charm.  I dunno how many more times I can handle a stranger showing up at my door saying "I'm here to fix the fridge".  

Also got a house inspection.  Today.  So that's required quite a bit of 'spring cleaning' this past week.  What pisses me off is... they're supposed to do these every 6 months.  And I swear, every single time... I'm cleaning banisters, skirting boards, nooks and crannies all round the house.  Then they show up and they're just like "New regulations.  Put these new, slightly different smoke alarms in"  and then they f*** off without even looking at my nice, clean nooks and crannies.  

Also the Washing Machine's playing up.  The boiler recently needed fixing.  There's damp in my dining room.  The vet nonchalantly told me my dog "might have kidney failure" but then when the urine test came back they were like "oh never mind every thing is fine".  Pretty sure my chimney's gonna fall off my roof.  One of my closest friends (for 30 years) hasn't spoken to me for over three weeks because I made a joke about his ridiculously massive nostrils.  If I go any balder, my brain will be visible.

Anyway - I dunno why I just mentioned all of those things.  Just needed to vent, I guess.  But I apologise for piling all my problems on to you guys.  Don't worry about me.  I'm a big boy.

Thanks, as always, for your support.  And I'll see ya in the next Early Access post.  Cheers, mates!
