In my recollection she picked him out with intent to kill him but she was interrupted in the middle by the friends. She wasn't trying to "save" him with the affliction, she was justifying the killings for herself by taking out people who were going to die anyway. Perhaps I was mistaken but that's the way I took it when I watched it.
My mom actually survived two brain aneurysms bursting. The doctors were astounded by her luck, they said she had a good chance of dying and if she survived she wouldn’t be able to walk or speak but that wasn’t the case. She had no permanent damage at all and is perfectly healthy now. She was extremely lucky Edit: Thank you all for your love, i’ve shown my mom all your comments and she found them absolutely sweet and hilarious :)
My dad had a brain aneurysm 17 years ago, it hasn't burst yet but I think it was about to when they found it. They were able to put a stint (stent?) and coils to keep it from killing him. But while they were doing that they got to watch a blood clot break lose and started pumping him full of medication before he started having the stroke. Quite a few of the staff had said they'd never had seen a stroke happen on inside in real time so it was a nice learning experience for all.
Gotta say, the peeling of the cornea is a very new take on the transformation for me. Its unique, slightly disgusting, and a very cool idea. I love it.
Hey, Maurice was a familiar not a vampire. She didn't turn him. She was just using him as a reliable source of blood and he was cool with it in the hopes that he would eventually be turned into a full vampire.
i feel like he might be avoiding it due to how little the show tells us about the creatures, we hear vampires logic applied, but vampires never had worms be the source of the infection as far i know, so it'd be more like a parasite infection that kills the host and overrides the behavior based of what the shared consciousness wants done, shared consciousness is more sci-fi so it'd be hard to make a long video with known info, etc.
@@gamersixvideos4239 he does videos on straight up supernatural creatures that have no explanation at all, so I don’t think any of that is holding him back
@@gamersixvideos4239 but at the same time he's done videos on creatures we know even less about, example. That fish creature he talked about had very little information and most of his video on that creature was just speculation. Idk I just feel like the parasite worm would be right up his ally. I'm gonna comment till he does it
Affliction is maybe the only vampire movie out there that actually makes this curse FEEL like an actual curse and not something that turns you into "superman that drinks blood."
I think there's a different angle to Maurice and why he was taken down by Derrick so easily. From what I understood in the movie, Derrick wasn't supposed to come back as a vampire but the OG vampire woman had been attempting to turn Maurice as payment for him getting rid of her victims bodies. Maurice was so pissed because his body wasn't accepting the virus, and he didn't understand why she would give the gift of vampirism to some rando who hadn't done anything for her. I believe he was still very much human at the time he finds Derrick in his apartment, and he was terrified of Derrick because he maybe hadn't seen the vampire girl in her feral state previously. Edit: Also, you have some audio overlap at right around 17:14
I really enjoyed the premise of "your body wont LET you die" as a concept adding to the horror of it all. I do despise how.... even with video evidence and multiple reports of hey we literally shot him multiple times... just... eh i dont know like such hyper skepticism to a fault
@@jmhaugen4757 Yes, exactly. In some fictional media, it's Cain's punishment for throwing away God's love and turning his back on God's light, making him the first Vampire.

There are flatworms that seem to retain memories even after regrowing their head. It could be possible that Derek has a back up for memory. Or he could have a distributed nervous system like an octopus. Basically his entire body could be the ‘brain’ in a way.
one of the closet ways ive see a biological way of maintaing life without the brain was the necroa virus it had a evolved trait to reurpose tissue in the lungs and spread new neurons there to effectivly act as a new but much less powerfull or efficent brain.
I'm one of those people that have unusually dense bones. And it made things kind of hard that time i had to have *_neurosurgery to remove a brain tumor_* and the blade on the bone saw kept wearing out.
@@senju31 Yes. It was something my neurosurgeon told my family while I was in recovery. They had to change out the blade twice and then the saw started to malfunction. The doctor said it was the craziest thing he had every saw. Side note: the surgery went fine once they could get into my brain to extract the tumor. Some peripheral vision loss, but better than expected.
@@dogofwar6769 I'm happy to hear they were able to remove the tumor. Your experience reminds of me of that episode in Luke Cage where they had to disable his superpowers of super durability in order to do surgery on him because he got a serious injury and had internal bleeding if I remember correctly.
19:19 My friend and I actually have the bone mutation Roanoke is talking about here. I've never broken a bone even though I've done things that by all accounts should have broken multiple bones, which definitely didn't feel great. I've also almost drowned multiple times because I have almost no buoyancy, which makes swimming difficult which sucks because I love swimming and water but the feeling is not mutual lol.
i have it as well. i have to use a wetsuit to have any kind of decent buoyancy for swimming. i have been put through the wringer due to situations and just got an all the way through bruise instead of fractures. bruise goes away in a few days and a hairline fracture hurts and affects things longer than that.
Y'know, that seems like a plausible reason for the stereotypical thing of vampires not liking running water (crossing rivers) or something along those lines.
Heck, I ruptured a large blood vessel in my lung when I broke 2 ribs. Enough blood came out of me that I turned from a good bronze to pale ash gray. Doctors said I shouldn't have survived, but instead I not only stayed standing but I kept up intensive physical exertion carrying a few hundred pounds while running.
@@RoanokeGaming hey saw a video of lex Friedman recently. His guest was talking about the regeneration of tapeworms ( possibly a specific one) and apparently if you say cut one in half booth pieces will regrow the missing half. BUT! The one that regrows a head also will retain memories from the original. Also you can trick it into say growing two heads. Then each one that made from that one after will also grow two heads. So yes it’s possible to regrow a brain and retain memory
I absolutely loved this movie. I actually jumped into it without seeing any trailers or reading a blurb/synopsis, so coming to realize that it was a vampire movie as I watched it made it more fascinating
Considering how specialized the virus is. It might have cells specially made for storing all needed information in the brain as head injuries would be pretty common given the amount of jumping and climbing the vampire does along with the fact that some victims not disabled before feeding would likely strike at the head. Which while the skull is thicker, i doubt it has developed a way to cushion the brain
I totally love how you break all these down and make them plausible via your in-depth education. At the end of the video, you said you love our input that could add to your perspective. I am paraphrasing and adding inference. When a supernatural being that's a super-regenerator, if science is to be applied, I picture it as the micro-biome taking over via a far more structured way where a viral and prion infection alters it to be akin to each cell being superiorly evolved like the amoeba. Each one being like a tiny electrochemical charged computer on a network of trillions, with the information control of each cell being akin to a super-computer. That would not only explain the super-fast healing, but the bioforming and the unusual weaknesses too (the cost of the alterations). That would also make it so nothing is lost, including memories, if the body has the resources to rebuild and reanimate.
Hi. Great content. Keep it up. I’m a new subscriber, I like how you explain the movie and then you actually explain the infection/semi magic shenanigans.
You know the whole vampires can’t cross running water thing. Well that makes a lot of sense if the body is so dense because they’d just sink like rocks. My vampires also regenerate using stem cells rather than metabolic additives.
@@Luna.Tenebra Yep it is one of the really old weaknesses of vampires that people mostly forgot about. If vampires are so dense then it does make sense that they would have trouble swimming.
@@theeguy9022 Well in this case they more or less sink due to their density, and the running aspect isn't really important they just drown in any sufficiently deep body of water they can't get out of.
My family has double bone density, I'm 6 foot and over 200 pounds but have more of an ectomorphic body shape. My brother had his density tested and it came in as double density, I later found out I did too after I was in a major crash on my Motorcycle, was thrown off the bike and smashed against the concrete, I was too poor at the time to buy proper gear so no bike armour on at the time, and luckily I only fractured my collarbone. So on the one hand, difficult to break bones, on the negatives, I just cannot swim, at all. No matter how hard i try, straight to the bottom of the pool.
You know the VHS movie *also* had an Azazel Deamonic baby that literally raised or resurrected all the undone cult members as hyperactive zombies just to get to his father that movies ending was hilarious !
7:37 It IS rather refreshing to see someone, instead of dancing around the subject and coming up with a random name for something, just call it what it is.
I know this probably doesn't have a lot to do with the science of it, but I love the idea of 2 best friends realistically reacting to how one of them is becoming a vampire as the other is helping them cope with the change.
I loved this concept when I first watched the movie. I unfortunately had been unable to find any sign of it existing till now, thought I had dreamed the whole thing. definitely one of the better found footage films
To be fair, with that crazy witchcraft level regeneration, would it really matter all that much if he shattered his arm when punching the rock or broke his legs from jumping? That would have been a cool concept to explore in the movie.
Please cover the Manhattan Virus from *Crysis 2* at some point! I'd love to see you look into the fine details regarding how Team Ceph bioengineering of viruses is similar and different from that of Team Human! The novelization by Peter Watt has a fantastic write-up of the Manhattan Virus and can be found on the Crysis Fandom Wiki!
Put me in as another vote for you covering the Strain. They piece meal a lot of medical stuff and while the show's a bit hit or miss at times, the science is awesome. I'd also like to suggest "Helix" and "Solitude".
You know, my dad told me about a gene he heard about that can result in bone density being 5 times greater than normal. And I remember reading up on it, and discovering that 5 times is the lowest it can go. My dad thinks he might have it, due to the fact that he never broke a bone in his life. Also, the fact that when he got his hip surgery, none of the bone cutting implements worked, so they had to use a laser.
Makes sense. I'm blk American and it's already been shown we have heavier bone densities. I've never broken a bone, despite having some crazy wild injuries as a kid lol
This movie randomly turned on tv for me and i wasnt paying attention when it came on and so the slow burn and then random vampirism was crazy and really interesting
Nice to have another piece of vampire media with vampires that actually hunt ethically. 19:16 [waves] Hi, how you doin'? Of course, it's just one more thing the BMI doesn't account for. But hey, it kept me from getting any breaks after being hit by cars twice and being in a wreck.
I believe her "Kindness" didn't mean Turning Him but draining him. As his mates actually busted in before she would have finished "Draining" him therefore leaving him infected and alive
Idk if you read manga and stuff but there's this one called "one day, suddenly in Seoul" is about a virus outbreak, and they describe this virus as some sort of single cell hive mind or something, idk I feel like you would enjoy exploring this type of virus, plus the story is fairly well written
Litterally just watched this movie yesterday. Perfect timing after i watched the breakdown. She actually intended to kill him quickly, thats why she chose to feed on him.
Hey Roanoke, I'm wondering if you could take a look at the zombie pathogen from a relatively unknown movie called Dance of the Dead. I think it'd be interesting to cover because it's a pathogen that affects people and animals. Since I think the first undead was a toad that killed the guy that reanimated it. Which is fun.
There was a man recently found to have bones eight times as dense as nirmal for a human his age. This unique gene is being looked at to treat various bone diseases.
Just FYI Roanoke, there seems to be a 30 second section after minute 17 of the video where two of your commentary audios are running at the same time, over the bit with the caveman.
I just want to say I really like your overview of the movie's and then the science stuff a bit above what I understand but you seem crazy smart. Just simply thank you!
What if the disease has some way to memorize the engrams of a human by late stage infection? What if its something that only looks and behaves like a virus at the surface level?
Hey, have you done a video about the V/H/S movies. There are some of these movies that have very interesting ideas, and although they don't develop them too much, I think there is at least something you could discuss. Specially on V/H/S 94 where there is a doctor that experiments with mixing humans with machinery.
I would love to see you cover The Strain. I’ve happily passed on my love of your videos to my roommates, and they’ve caught the infectious humor and fascinating insight.
i don't really think there's much room there to science the way a rock gives people telekinesis. I think the only thing that needs to be done with Chronicle is they make a sequel, 'cause the black guy(forgot his name) even pointed out that there were several other people who touched it too, so it's just not possible that only those 3 were given powers.
This is a gem that surprisingly few people I’ve met have seen! I’ve got a suggestion Roanoke. You should watch the short film Rakka and analyze the Klum! Pretty cool alien design imo.
Can you do a video on the blindsight vampires, I know this from a book and not a movie or tv show but it was interesting to see an offshoot of humans that hunted each other and then eventually were driven into extinction to only be brought back to life for deep space exploration.
Brought back for any kind of complicated problem solving, in fact. They consider serving baseline humans to be a problem, too, and humans have been VERY inadequate in their efforts to make that unsolvable for vampires. (If you read the sequel/happening-at-the-same-time-quel, Echopraxia)
Hey, love the channel. Just one thing: I don’t know what your editing process is, but you might want to check how you edit your audio. It isn’t anything major, but there are times when it pops. It sounds like you are cutting audio segments where the audio waveform isn’t at a zero point. An example can be found at 15:40. This can be pretty easily fixed in a couple of ways. 1. You can add an audio crossfade at the beginning and end of the audio file. 2. Some editing programs let you insert silence. 3. Just zoom in really close on your audio waveform and pick a spot where the polarity of the wave is at zero and cut there. Again, this isn’t a major issue. You make great videos. It just might be something to watch out for. Thank you for all the interesting content. I appreciate the reader’s digest movie experience and the really intelligent analysis of the biology of the subjects.
@@RoanokeGaming Yeah, that is true. Could be the equipment. Might want to check out your wires, audio interface, microphone, etc. Maybe even check out the drivers you have installed. If it is a driver issue then you might be able to save some money by either installing a new driver or rolling back to a more stable previous version. Either way it isn’t that big of a problem. I think the popping only happens like once or twice in this video. I only took notice because I work with digital audio workstations a lot and it has made me an audio technology nerd. Anyway, keep up the great work!
I wish this movie had more people talking about it it was a fresh new spin on the horror found footage genre that was very different at the time it released
Where all my double bone density homies at? Joking aside, it's awesome. The only drawback i found is the doctors telling me i was overweight when i clearly wasn't, but that doesn't happen anymore, since now i am decidedly overweight.
Is there a possibility that the disease restructures the brain writing memory engrams on itself, or even on the new brain cells? It seems like the brain would have to be recreated and fortified as to avoid seizing in the future.
I'm trying to think of a French joke that doesn't involve either The French putting anything in their mouths or the French revolution Side note: have you thought of doing a biology check if all the vampires in Vampyrs?
when in doubt go with bagettes. i hear once they go stale you can use them in construction work. french cooking at its finest ;D (i know its not much of a hilarious joke but i managed to avoid the 2 subjects you mentioned)
This is such a cool movie, I gotta check it out! Really great video!! Can you discuss the Vampires in the shows Vwars?? I believe those are disease based as well. I just started the first 2 episodes last night and really kinda enjoying it. Kinda weird seeing Damon Salvatore playing a human after seeing him as a vamp in VDiaries for so long. Love love LOVE your videos!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥

I totally love how you break all these down and make them plausible via your in-depth education.
At the end of the video, you said you love our input that could add to your perspective. I am paraphrasing and adding inference.
When a supernatural being that's a super-regenerator, if science is to be applied, I picture it as the micro-biome taking over via a far more structured way where a viral and prion infection alters it to be akin to each cell being superiorly evolved like the amoeba. Each one being like a tiny electrochemical charged computer on a network of trillions, with the information control of each cell being akin to a super-computer.
That would not only explain the super-fast healing, but the bioforming and the unusual weaknesses too (the cost of the alterations). That would also make it so nothing is lost, including memories, if the body has the resources to rebuild and reanimate.
Honestly if flesh eating monsters existed but they only ate child predators I'd hand them an umbrella and some sun screen.
Hi. Great content. Keep it up. I’m a new subscriber, I like how you explain the movie and then you actually explain the infection/semi magic shenanigans.
I appreciate you watching bro
Roanoke, your videos never fail to put me in a better mood AND inform AND entertain. Keep it up. Great stuff, mate.
You know the whole vampires can’t cross running water thing. Well that makes a lot of sense if the body is so dense because they’d just sink like rocks. My vampires also regenerate using stem cells rather than metabolic additives.
Wait wait wait.. vampires can't cross water? Where is this from?
@@radhiadeedou8286 old sayings just like they cant enter homes if not invited
@@Luna.Tenebra Yep it is one of the really old weaknesses of vampires that people mostly forgot about. If vampires are so dense then it does make sense that they would have trouble swimming.
@@radhiadeedou8286 not sure where it's from exactly but yes, running water is a practically a strong acid for vampires
@@theeguy9022 Well in this case they more or less sink due to their density, and the running aspect isn't really important they just drown in any sufficiently deep body of water they can't get out of.
Holy moly, Batman. What an infodump at 17:15, I learned so much form that short 15 seconds!!! Keep it up, love your channel so much.
My family has double bone density, I'm 6 foot and over 200 pounds but have more of an ectomorphic body shape. My brother had his density tested and it came in as double density, I later found out I did too after I was in a major crash on my Motorcycle, was thrown off the bike and smashed against the concrete, I was too poor at the time to buy proper gear so no bike armour on at the time, and luckily I only fractured my collarbone. So on the one hand, difficult to break bones, on the negatives, I just cannot swim, at all. No matter how hard i try, straight to the bottom of the pool.
I too sink like a rock, which is why I don't go where a can't feel the bottom.
Dang dude your a superhero at this point.
Lies
@@anontwentytwo1380 double bone density is a real thing, buddy.
@@anontwentytwo1380 proof?
17:14 Roanoke beams all of human knowledge into my head.
You know the VHS movie *also* had an Azazel Deamonic baby that literally raised or resurrected all the undone cult members as hyperactive zombies just to get to his father that movies ending was hilarious !
Me, being squirmish about eye-related injuries watching that one part "OH GODS NO!"
7:37 It IS rather refreshing to see someone, instead of dancing around the subject and coming up with a random name for something, just call it what it is.
Between 17:14 to 1730 the audio is doubled with Caveman.
I'm one of those that watch everyone of your videos all the way through.
Love your work.
Yo, love your videos, but just want to point out, from min 17:22 there is a weird audio overlap. Hopefully you can still fix it!
I know this probably doesn't have a lot to do with the science of it, but I love the idea of 2 best friends realistically reacting to how one of them is becoming a vampire as the other is helping them cope with the change.
17:15 had a stroke trying to understand both audio's at the same time.
I loved this concept when I first watched the movie. I unfortunately had been unable to find any sign of it existing till now, thought I had dreamed the whole thing. definitely one of the better found footage films
Nice weekend,’roake,i’ve been (barely)hanging on in highschool,and this for the weekend really brightens up my day
To be fair, with that crazy witchcraft level regeneration, would it really matter all that much if he shattered his arm when punching the rock or broke his legs from jumping? That would have been a cool concept to explore in the movie.
Deadpool
@@farmschoolchicks1913 Touché.
It would, because if he just gets crippled Everytime he does anything, that really only means he has super healing and that's about it
OMG!!!! My man has a Cole Train shirt!!!! Subscribed! 1:30!
Please cover the Manhattan Virus from *Crysis 2* at some point! I'd love to see you look into the fine details regarding how Team Ceph bioengineering of viruses is similar and different from that of Team Human! The novelization by Peter Watt has a fantastic write-up of the Manhattan Virus and can be found on the Crysis Fandom Wiki!
17:15 I feel like I'm being surrounded by Roanokes.
Yes!!! I’m so happy you’re covering this one. Could you do the wendigo from until dawn next?
Put me in as another vote for you covering the Strain. They piece meal a lot of medical stuff and while the show's a bit hit or miss at times, the science is awesome. I'd also like to suggest "Helix" and "Solitude".
18:35 Now hold on there mister! Explain more about the Falciform Ligament, and how it was learned that can happen.
Nice halo reference “speeds really only achieved by spartan 2s “ wonderful love it love the channel
You know, my dad told me about a gene he heard about that can result in bone density being 5 times greater than normal. And I remember reading up on it, and discovering that 5 times is the lowest it can go. My dad thinks he might have it, due to the fact that he never broke a bone in his life. Also, the fact that when he got his hip surgery, none of the bone cutting implements worked, so they had to use a laser.
Makes sense. I'm blk American and it's already been shown we have heavier bone densities. I've never broken a bone, despite having some crazy wild injuries as a kid lol
This movie randomly turned on tv for me and i wasnt paying attention when it came on and so the slow burn and then random vampirism was crazy and really interesting
This was actually a pretty good movie. A little bit of a twist on the found footage genre, but interesting to see someone transform into a vampire.
17:13 wow beautifully said, will be quoting this in my thesis
Great video man, very informative
Thanks man XD
Nice to have another piece of vampire media with vampires that actually hunt ethically.
19:16 [waves] Hi, how you doin'? Of course, it's just one more thing the BMI doesn't account for. But hey, it kept me from getting any breaks after being hit by cars twice and being in a wreck.
I believe her "Kindness" didn't mean Turning Him but draining him. As his mates actually busted in before she would have finished "Draining" him therefore leaving him infected and alive
you started up my alexa and now andy serkis is reading the fellowship. be back in a lot of hours
Idk if you read manga and stuff but there's this one called "one day, suddenly in Seoul" is about a virus outbreak, and they describe this virus as some sort of single cell hive mind or something, idk I feel like you would enjoy exploring this type of virus, plus the story is fairly well written
Eyyy, i'm reading that rn. It's pretty good!
Like the flood from halo ?
@@kalystagutierrez1607 it is, I like the way they giving us information regarding the virus, making us guess and figure it out by ourselves
@@minecraftslover mm kind of, you can read it and draw your own conclusion
Or the blood worms in Blade of the Immortal. Good series.
Lol. My Alexa started reading The Fellowship of The Rings when you activated yours.
Litterally just watched this movie yesterday. Perfect timing after i watched the breakdown.
She actually intended to kill him quickly, thats why she chose to feed on him.
17:14
*Friend:* you got focus on one topic
*ADHD about to steer the conversation:*
Finally someone is talking about this movie!! I caught this movie by accident one night and couldn't stop watching! love it!
Aye im just trying to cook dinner and listen to your video and you got my alexa reading me Tolkien now
Hey Roanoke, I'm wondering if you could take a look at the zombie pathogen from a relatively unknown movie called Dance of the Dead. I think it'd be interesting to cover because it's a pathogen that affects people and animals. Since I think the first undead was a toad that killed the guy that reanimated it. Which is fun.
First time I saw what Roanoke actually looks like, lookin good my guy!
I am so thrilled you are covering this one. I have asked other channels to cover it. I enjoyed this movie a lot.
Can I just comment on how awesome you are Roanoke, you are one of my favorite, if not my favorite RUclipsr! Keep up the great work my man!
Derek was Morbing extra hard lmao
There was a man recently found to have bones eight times as dense as nirmal for a human his age. This unique gene is being looked at to treat various bone diseases.
Just FYI Roanoke, there seems to be a 30 second section after minute 17 of the video where two of your commentary audios are running at the same time, over the bit with the caveman.
I just want to say I really like your overview of the movie's and then the science stuff a bit above what I understand but you seem crazy smart. Just simply thank you!
I swear I thought Maurice wasn’t a vamp, he was a human who she was keeping around with the promise of becoming a vampire later
17:14 when the mushrooms kick in.
What if the disease has some way to memorize the engrams of a human by late stage infection? What if its something that only looks and behaves like a virus at the surface level?
That's usually what Vampirism is in most cases. The reason they need blood is to replenish their human forms by using other living people as fuel.
How is RUclips not gonna notify me about this video when I asked for it XD sorry about that Roanoke!
Hey, have you done a video about the V/H/S movies. There are some of these movies that have very interesting ideas, and although they don't develop them too much, I think there is at least something you could discuss. Specially on V/H/S 94 where there is a doctor that experiments with mixing humans with machinery.
Hi bb v. By the by bbt:5::5::: the::::66666
Oh dude. I forgot about the VHS movies. That might be a cool video? I think? Lmao
Thanks Roanoke for putting back the chapters. I find them comedic
I would love to see you cover The Strain. I’ve happily passed on my love of your videos to my roommates, and they’ve caught the infectious humor and fascinating insight.
The strain freaked me out
@17:13 there's double audio and video for neanderthals. But another great video
This movie reminds me of chronicle
Yo make a video on chronicle I wanna see you try to explain that
I can check it out!
i don't really think there's much room there to science the way a rock gives people telekinesis. I think the only thing that needs to be done with Chronicle is they make a sequel, 'cause the black guy(forgot his name) even pointed out that there were several other people who touched it too, so it's just not possible that only those 3 were given powers.
Wow the multiple voices tripped me out.
😵💫
This is a gem that surprisingly few people I’ve met have seen! I’ve got a suggestion Roanoke. You should watch the short film Rakka and analyze the Klum! Pretty cool
alien design imo.
Seconded. Also, Zygote, by oats studios too.
Can you do a video on the blindsight vampires, I know this from a book and not a movie or tv show but it was interesting to see an offshoot of humans that hunted each other and then eventually were driven into extinction to only be brought back to life for deep space exploration.
Brought back for any kind of complicated problem solving, in fact. They consider serving baseline humans to be a problem, too, and humans have been VERY inadequate in their efforts to make that unsolvable for vampires. (If you read the sequel/happening-at-the-same-time-quel, Echopraxia)
Hey, love the channel.
Just one thing: I don’t know what your editing process is, but you might want to check how you edit your audio. It isn’t anything major, but there are times when it pops. It sounds like you are cutting audio segments where the audio waveform isn’t at a zero point.
An example can be found at 15:40.
This can be pretty easily fixed in a couple of ways.
1. You can add an audio crossfade at the beginning and end of the audio file.
2. Some editing programs let you insert silence.
3. Just zoom in really close on your audio waveform and pick a spot where the polarity of the wave is at zero and cut there.
Again, this isn’t a major issue. You make great videos. It just might be something to watch out for.
Thank you for all the interesting content. I appreciate the reader’s digest movie experience and the really intelligent analysis of the biology of the subjects.
Yah I've been noticing the random pops lately and it didn't do that before, im starting to wonder if my mic is messed up, could be time for a new one
@@RoanokeGaming Yeah, that is true. Could be the equipment.
Might want to check out your wires, audio interface, microphone, etc. Maybe even check out the drivers you have installed.
If it is a driver issue then you might be able to save some money by either installing a new driver or rolling back to a more stable previous version.
Either way it isn’t that big of a problem. I think the popping only happens like once or twice in this video.
I only took notice because I work with digital audio workstations a lot and it has made me an audio technology nerd.
Anyway, keep up the great work!
I wonder when he will run out of ways to science basically magic lmao
N E V E R as long as I can imagine things and connect it haha
17:19 Dammit, Roanoke!! One at a time!!!
I wish this movie had more people talking about it it was a fresh new spin on the horror found footage genre that was very different at the time it released
Where all my double bone density homies at?
Joking aside, it's awesome. The only drawback i found is the doctors telling me i was overweight when i clearly wasn't, but that doesn't happen anymore, since now i am decidedly overweight.
Should really do The Strain! Such a cool take on vampires
I agree 😍
Not a vampire show
You made my Alexa start reading fellowship of the ring
Is there a possibility that the disease restructures the brain writing memory engrams on itself, or even on the new brain cells? It seems like the brain would have to be recreated and fortified as to avoid seizing in the future.
Apparently I had an aneurysm around the 17 minute mark, good god my man.🤣
I'm trying to think of a French joke that doesn't involve either The French putting anything in their mouths or the French revolution
Side note: have you thought of doing a biology check if all the vampires in Vampyrs?
not yet but I can check it out!
Roanoke isn't bashing the surrender of France, he's just a monarchist
when in doubt go with bagettes. i hear once they go stale you can use them in construction work. french cooking at its finest ;D
(i know its not much of a hilarious joke but i managed to avoid the 2 subjects you mentioned)
17:13 i started looking for another tab opened with your video xd
I'd like to see you analyze the genetic mutation of brundlefly from the cronenberg fly remake
Ill check it out!
Holy shit btw I'm a big fan thanks for keeping me entertained my dude
Oh my b thought I commented on my comment
I literally watched a video about how this was a great docu/found footage film like 3 days ago. Perfect timing as always Roanoke
Alternate title: the science of trashing on France
One of the coolest nerds i watch, pretty handsome too
same to you ;)
The image of Derek in the thumbnail is what I look like foraging for Cheez-it crackers at 5 am.
This is such a cool movie, I gotta check it out! Really great video!! Can you discuss the Vampires in the shows Vwars?? I believe those are disease based as well. I just started the first 2 episodes last night and really kinda enjoying it. Kinda weird seeing Damon Salvatore playing a human after seeing him as a vamp in VDiaries for so long. Love love LOVE your videos!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
It is disease based and sadly the first season is all we'll ever have of it as it was canceled
