Captain Picard's reaction to Chris's use of the phrase.

"Captain's Log" is Chris's usual opening to a video blog, first appearing in his 24 September 2008 video. It comes from popular sci-fi franchise Star Trek. In a typical episode, the captain, commander or other senior crew member would make an entry to log what has happened in the situation prior to the beginning of the episode. Most Star Trek Captain's Log entries are noticeably void of Tard Rage.

Sometimes, Chris gives an incorrect date (the date is technically always incorrect since he says "Stardate" and gives a Gregorian Calendar date), or fails to provide a date at all. An example of Chris giving an incorrect date would be many of the entries made in July 2009. The CWCki has organized the Captain's Log entries by the date they were uploaded.

One would easily assume Chris to be a Trekkie, due to his liberal usage of the phrase, but according to him, the use of the phrase isn't a reference to the franchise, [1] [2] and he's never even seen anything of Star Trek (where he picked it up then is a mystery. Perhaps he picked it up from Family Guy or Futurama...) Rather, it's a neutral way of opening up his videos, which he contrast with "Dear, Diary", because a specific phrase from a television and film franchise is what constitutes neutrality to him apparently. In reality, his use of the phrase is just another example of his plagiarism as he was unable to think of his own fucking intro for his videos.

He may have encountered the phrase from the Star Trek game he purchased as a result of the Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes competition, but knowing his gaming habits, he probably never played it.

Due to stress and laziness related to Bob Chandler's sudden hospitalization caused by congestive heart failure (or the death of his PSEye), Chris now releases his Captain's log on twitter since 01 March 2010.

Characteristics

Generally, a Captain's Log video is one in which Chris addresses his fanbase, a sort of video blog where he asks his True and Loyal fanbase to be his personal army or to express his hatred about some troll.

This is in contrast to other styles of Chris videos, such as those where he addresses a specific individual (often expecting people to know he's posted a video about them, such as Mike Synder from The GAMe PLACe) or his music videos.

Occasionally a video is dead serious, and therefore not worthy of a being named a Captain's Log.

Captain's Blog

In November 2009, Chris began maintaining an irregular text blog on CWCipedia, featuring updates on the progress of his comic and his quest to turn Sonichu into the heart of a multimedia empire. He also dubbed this a "Captain's Log" and marked the successive entries with "Stardates". It can be found halfway down the right column of the site's front page (and also at Template:Captain's Log, and he has (so far) maintained an archive of his updates.
