Alerting/Waiting/Flailing Post for Mark Watches Videos (for August 17 - 21 episodes)



This is where Mark lets us know when the new videos are up (they're usually uploaded all at once). Please do not try to buy a new episode until he posts here (or on Twitter) to say there's something new ready to download.

Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post. Below are links to the store page for each show (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that we expect to be uploaded for the week.

STAR TREK: TNG
3x23
3x24
3x25
3x26
[predictions]

LEGEND OF KORRA
4x11
4x12
4x13

I haven't heard any further updates about Doctor Who, which is next up on the double features, but Mark mentioned taking a week off of double features between Korra and Who, so I assume that's the plan unless we hear otherwise.

Coldrun Listens to "Worm"


Art by wolfofragnarok.

This is a web serial about a teenage girl with super powers. Going to try to get through at least three chapters this week.

You can read the entire serial here: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/table-of-content...
And can download the audiobook version chapter by chapter for free from here: http://audioworm.rein-online.org/

Note: the author basically says to assume ALL the trigger warnings. Especially so far for bullying, control, domestic abuse, body horror, and anything insect related, but I'm not even halfway through.

Currently on 13.9.

Welp, another week, another post of stuffs potentially of interest to y'all.

On my blog:
Captain's Log, Weekly Digest 32: Following a visit to Qo'noS to get some hint on what the heck is going on (an original story), Morwen scrambles to protect Federation space near the border from the renegade Klingon raiders and their allies (sort of an original story, but stitched together from several of STO's System Patrol optional missions). (Spoilers for Star Trek Online and potentially any and all Star Trek serieseseses.)
Vlog Review: Gravity Falls S1E3: Gravity Falls is getting over its awkward early stages with impressive speed, and I'm definitely enjoying it. (Gravity Falls spoilers.)

Looking for High Fantasy Recommendations

So... I just finished re-reading Worm. However, I'm someone that pretty much needs to have a book available to distract myself during downtime, so...

Does anyone have any recommendations in the (preferably High) Fantasy genre? I'm looking for something maybe a little different from my usual Fantasy rut, so I don't want to give too much indication of what I usually like (but I probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for Tamora Pierce/Diane Duane, so there's that.)

I'm so messed up right now. You don't even know. I have not been this emotionally exhausted by a show since Battlestar Galactica.

My capstone project clients have launched their first Kickstarter!

If anyone's interested, you can see it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/level3b/leve...
Sorry for the delay! This is gonna be long, so I'll split the questions into two posts: one for this week, and one for previous weeks. For this week on Question(s):

- If you were given the power to add anything, like a rule, or a feature, on the Mark Does Stuff site, what would it be? (Note it must be something that Mark approves of.)

- How much do you guys know about The X-Files?

- What MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) does anyone play, other than League of Legends?

- Plus, are there any good chess players around here? I'm looking for future challengers.

In this post, Previous Question(s) of the Week can be answered here, so here they are (note you don't need to answer all of these questions):

Were you aware of the idea and/or the term of "social justice" before stumbling into Mark Does Stuff? If so, where did you learn those concepts?

Which fanfiction site would you prefer: ao3 (Archive Of Our Own) or Wattpad?

Are there any fellow Filipino/a/xs out there in the Mark Does Stuff community?

Do any of you mention or advertise Mark to your other online friends? (Online only, no offline)

Other than Mark, which person (like an author, a celebrity, or a celebrity author, etc.) would you want to meet and hang out with in real life?

For cake lovers, what is your favorite kind of cake? (It can be any kind of cake.)

What was a thing (i.e. a blog post, an essay, or a book, etc.) that changed your view of the world in general?

What was the first convention you attended? When was it? How did you get in? What were your first impressions of that con and how did you feel about it?

Have you seen any movies from Studio Ghibli? If so, what was the first movie you've seen by them? (Note that this question also includes any movies that Miyazaki-san has not directed.)

What is your D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) alignment? Note that you don't need to play D&D to know about your alignment. You can find out by taking this questionnaire and see your results there.

When and how did you stumble upon one of Mark's sites? This can count for either or both Reads/Watches.

How many of you are familiar with the Tales franchise?

Which Rei do you guys prefer? Ayanami or Ryugazaki? (any other character named Rei is also welcome)

When did you first stumble upon or know about Princess Tutu? How?

Have you ever played any of the LittleBigPlanet games for the PS3 (or have LBP3 for PS4)?

P.S. Please support arctic_hare on Patreon! The link is on the sidebar of Spoils!

Yikes! So, um new ads on Spoils? I'm suddenly getting a lot of popups, being told to download updates for my browser's video player (which looks almost official, but I'm 99.9% is NOT), ads that want me to download video plugins that I've never heard of, ads that take up a portion of the my browser window that can't be closed or scrolled away from, auto-playing video ads. Um.

I just finished watching Mark's video for TNG 3x26....
7 replies · active 500 weeks ago
So, the video download links are still not working in Chrome.

I have to copy the links to another browser to work around that. The only other one I had installed is IE.

I upgraded to Windows 10 on the weekend. So, I pasted the link to Edge.

EDGE DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO DOWNLOAD A LINK. There literally is no 'save link as' function.

I was a bit panicky for a minute. Then I realized IE is still installed! It's a separate app!

Microsoft is weird.

I think I'm finally going to sit down and read all of The Dark Tower in order. I read some of it sporadically in college (I have definitely read all of the Drawing of the Three and at least part of the Waste Lands) and I would like to finish it.

My mom's section of our bookshelf was almost entirely King growing up- she had several first editions as well (I wont touch her copy of The Gunslinger because its a first edition and I've seen copies go as high as $1000 on Ebay), I started picking up some of them in middle school, but never touched the Dark Tower.

When she finished the series, she was so pissed that she refused to ever reread it, and hasn't enjoyed any King she's read since. She has informed me though, that she has problems with endings (and that she behaved pretty much the same way with Lost until I convinced her to rewatch it with me last year when she realized she didn't really remember much).

With the movie having a supposed release date of 2017 now, I feel like I have to

So into the rabbit hole I go
