The cultural offensive in the comics world continues! Episode 6 of Alt★Hero is live on Webtoons with F=MA. The number three position on the Superhero chart is now within reach! It’s very easy to support, just download the app on your device and subscribe to the comic.

And in Unauthorized news, Medieval History episodes I – VII are now live on the new UATV site, as are three extended audiobook samples from Corporate Cancer, Corrosion, and A Throne of Bones. We also expect to extend invites to all of the Feed the Bear subscribers, as well as to subscribers to David the Good, the Legend, and Wranglerstar later today.

We now have 163 videos/MP3s on the new site, with more being uploaded every day. Once all the subscribers have access to the new site, we will begin the process of transferring the domain name and the Google and Roku apps to it.

UPDATE: All the Bears and Legend subscribers have been invited.

For the benefit of those who don’t understand that this is an entirely new web site that has nothing to do with mobile or device apps of any kind yet, please try to grasp that YOU CANNOT USE THE GOOGLE AND ROKU APPS. They are linked to an entirely different site that has nothing to do with this one yet.

UPDATE: Login bug alert. There was a hash error that is keeping some new accounts from logging in. FFS… I’ll post here when it’s fixed and you can try again.

UPDATE: All right, the login bug has been fixed. If you had the login failure where the two fields just clear after you hit enter and you’re not logged in, try it again now. And if you’re technical, there is no need to state the obvious. We know and will deal with it soon. One thing at a time.

My first reaction: WTF is a Podbean? UPDATE: Apparently I have 780,147 Darkstream downloads from Podbean.

My second reaction: it’s a good thing UATV subscribers can listen to and download mp3 files directly from the new UATV site.

I am aware the Darkstreams are still available on Podbean. I plan to remove them, but not yet. We’ll remove them all when we give MP3 access to the Darkstream on UATV to non-subscribers.

The Ride Never Ends.

Episode 3 of Hypergamouse is now live on Webtoons. Don’t forget to subscribe to it, as that is the primary metric there and it will alert you when a new episode is uploaded. As you can see from the screencap taken this morning on the left, the more subscribers, the more the algorithm favors the comic, and the virtuous cycle continues. What is remarkable about that #4 ranking is that the number of episodes for the other top 5 comics range from 95 to 220. AH is on Episode 5.

Also, if you are a UATV Basic subscriber, please check your email. You have been cordially invited to check out the brand new site! We had a minor issue earlier this morning which prevented video playback, but it’s been resolved, so please login, change your password, and watch/listen to a video or two. Then let me know how the performance worked for you. Please note this is not an invitation to sperg about nonexist features or demonstrate your awesome technical knowledge; the site is still in Alpha and we’re bringing in people gradually to see how well it handles the increasing bandwidth load.

Once we’ve got all the subscribers invited and using it successfully, we’ll move the URL pointers and start transitioning the apps. Iterative design, iterative development.

UPDATE: No Darkstream tonight as I spent the time fixing my streaming software and getting rid of the delay that cropped up recently. Turned out the Nvidea driver needed an update.

Unauthorized meets Unauthorized as the Big Bear hosts The Legend Chuck Dixon on his livestream at 9:30 AM Pacific. I am reliably informed they will be discussing Batman, among other things.

In honor of The Legend’s appearance, Arkhaven Comics has published the second episode of Chuck Dixon’s Avalon #1 The Street Rules: Temptation. You can read it on your computer or your mobile device.

Require appropriate cover. As seen on the Darkstream:

Once upon a time, the people of England had a mythology rich in symbolism and metaphor pointing to the ultimate truth. There was one story in particular which captured the imagination of poets, the story of a star that entered into time and lifted the people of the world out of darkness. The star’s name was Earendel—but what did his name mean? Who among men was so wise that he could unravel the riddle and make clear the mystery? J.R.R. Tolkien believed he knew! O come, O come, and learn the story of the star!

The episode guide is here.

Today we released a trailer for the upcoming documentary about Owen’s recent comedy tour.

In other news, the Unauthorized app for Roku is now available. This is the first of a number of apps that we expect to release in the months to come. We also anticipate releasing the Android app before the end of the year released the Android app today.

Thanks to all the subscribers who are making these things possible! But never forget that the conflict continues, as Unbearables Merchandise was deplatformed by PayPal yesterday.

More than 7,000 viewers watched the Big Bear’s inaugural stream on DLive today. He’s already got more than 6k followers there. I’ve created an account there too, which you can follow at voxday.

UPDATE: DLive has graciously arranged for me to have the VOXDAY account in order to make it easier to find.

As you may have heard by now, the Big Bear was just deplatformed by YouTube. This should be interesting, as it will be the first time the Dread Ilk and the Bears have had the opportunity to team up and go into battle together.

It’s going to be a blast!

Also, be sure to sign up for the book club so we can email you to get in touch with you if Google goes after the Darkstream or this blog. And if you still haven’t signed up for Unauthorized yet, this is a great time to do so.

I think Semper Fish may be a little TOO fired up, based on his reaction to the news:

As the smoke cleared from the direct assault upon the House of Bear, a hush whisper of malcontent began to rise from the smoldering havoc of the wicked onslaught. The dim twilight began to fade and cause flickers of light to abandon the savagery, but for a moment, a sense of anguish clung heavy in the mist. For the enemy had engaged in open war and they scoffed with pride at the opening salvo of ruin they wrought.

Then suddenly and without hesitation, there arose a trembling roar that gained with intensity. As if a long dead yet undisturbed tree was caressed by thousands of souls on fire which detonated into a racous pyre… AAAHHH! The unison voices bellowed in rage! These were the legions approaching to the aid of House of Bear. At the front of this company stood a mighty Dark Lord adorned with the skulls of previous campaigns and he showed no sign of gloom, but even a smile of satisfaction for the total war he is now sanctioned to unleash. 

Around this devastation grew an incandescence and an appearance of vague figures on the boundary of the stalwart Dark Lord. These minions seemed to move hovering over the ground as if the very air was under their spell, and all were faceless with a vile intent to grind down the enemy until only skulls remain.

Now once the shouting assembly of distant voices began to gather their numbers, their bodies moving gave way to clanging of metal ladles and various kettles filled with hot gravy. Their stomping paws shook the ground almost to the point of not distinguishing the vast array of snarling creatures whose ilk was already in formation and dreadful indeed.

This army is being readied for the battle to come, and may Almighty God bless them and have mercy on the souls of their enemies! 

FORTUNA FAVET FORTIBUS!
