    "consider liking this video"...
    Excuse me. I found you guys when Men at Arms Reforged was going on, and have been following you literally since the channel was created. I like all the damn videos. Anyone not liking the videos can by all means seek out the nearest ledge and smash their foot against it till they hear a pop.
    I think the Heretic was my favorite video though. The artistry was unbelievable. Also ahegao sweater at bladeshow. 10/10.
