The still frame 🤣 Lost for words guys. I feel like we don't need to post a Dragonsteel Nexus video because we spent so much of it with you guys, wouldn't have had it any other way. Best time ever!
@@2ToRamble I gotta say the plea for a teeter my totter hoodie was classic. All Jakob. We wouldn’t have any other way either! Was such a blast miss u guys!
Fantastic video guys! For those of us not able to be there, it lets us experience just some of what it was like. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey!
Man, I can't tell you guys how much fun I've had watching the channel this year. It really is the best place to be for those of us who love talking story. Can't wait to see what books Kris "Tingle" leaves under the tree so I can add to my TBR. Merry Christmas to the entire Talking Story family.
15:40 Dude. Y'all should've heard ALL of the questions at the physics panel that closed out Nexus. I have a bachelor's in engineering and master's in math, but the entire panel had graduate degrees in engineering - and they were completely unable to answer several questions. Blown away.
Goodness, you guys did so much I feel like I need to nap after just watching this! I'm glad you both had a good time and got to meet so many cool people
I'm so happy you shared this with us and that you both had a wonderful time! :) I really need to plan on making it next year once I figure out how to get onto their newsletter so I can be notified! :)
Oh that is the video I have been waiting for! I really do hope all the restrooms now SCREAM "Jake, the boy wonder, best producer on Booktube - Talking Stories".
You know, I can't even find it in me to feel a sliver of envy or jealousy, because it genuinely just brings me SO much joy to see how much fun you all had together. Can't thank you enough for taking us along and allowing us to experience the craziness vicariously through you, this was an absolute blast 🤩🤩
Dude I feel the exact same with some of the Cosmere questions and connections. I see people ask things online or point out connections to other books, and I'm like, man, I don't know if I'm reading a different series at this point hahaha great video!
What a wonderful peek into the conference with a lot of the best booktubers that I have “grown up” with since I became a serious sci-fi/ fantasy nerd. This was really special for me because it all started with Stormlight Archive. Thank you guys!
This was such a fun way to do a vlog, guys! I loved the chats to look back with interspersed footage, made it much less overwhelming than just all the confloor sounds nonstop. Also massive congrats on the inevitable 10k subs coming up so soon (You're at 9.95k as I type)
This video was beautiful! It was such a delight to see you have such an amazing time. However, there has been a devastating development- for the first time I can remember, there was a Talking Story video that did not mention the Tingle. The rug has been pulled out from under me! Blasphemy! A constant in the universe has been broken! Okay, okay, that's a bit dramatic. xD No but seriously, this was a delight. Thank you!
LMAO @ Batman Ben. Thank you for this awesome recap. I felt like I was there. I've always wanted to attend Dragonsteel, but sadly don't have any IRL friends who'd go with me. But seeing all the friendly fellow Booktubers you connected with at the convention, makes me feel I could go by myself and just hang with some Booktube buddies.
Thanks for filming your weekend I love comic cons and this was it but for books looked brilliant with all the displays and meetings everyone and you got your copy of wind and wind there quite different from buying from the book shop
Speechless about the copacetic con connections - thanks for documenting it - so I'll just ask what I've been wondering all month: who made your "Tingle of Christmas" song? Is that Jake singing?? And is there a full version? It's pretty dope.
Jakob did get it right my name is Harman hahaha. You'd be surprised how may people have accidentally got my name confused as Haram though. I appreciate the shoutout though! It was great getting to meet you both!
Been looking forward to a video like this. Looks like you had a ton of fun which is awesome! John you were like a kid in a candy store 😆 Love the enthusiams. Now I just need to rob a bank to be able to aford to go there sometime in the future! Would love to meet up or something if so :D
I don’t know much about the con. Someone said a wee bit back, that sanderson did a panel with Hobb - ive not seen it on youtube - did that happen/did you attend?
They did do a panel together, but afaik it wasn't filmed. It was mostly a highlight of Hobb's career, with the news that she has 3-5 novels nearly finished and just signed a contract for atleast one of them to be published
Getting some serious FOMO here and I've never even read Sanderson. I'm glad to hear that you guys had a good time uncle and that you met all these cool people while you were out there. Keep up the good work boys, I've had me a good day with this new Superman trailer and my daily dose of Talking Story!
So glad you two had a great time, but you didn't answer the most important question. How many times did you two get mobbed by hords of screaming adoring fans?

The FOMO 😭😭😭
@valliyarnl I know it would be soooo hard but 1 day you gotta try to make a con in the states Wera.
I don’t know much about the con. Someone said a wee bit back, that sanderson did a panel with Hobb - ive not seen it on youtube - did that happen/did you attend?
I did not see that but I would not be surprised if that happened.
They did do a panel together, but afaik it wasn't filmed. It was mostly a highlight of Hobb's career, with the news that she has 3-5 novels nearly finished and just signed a contract for atleast one of them to be published
