Template talk:Video of the now
Can someone help make this so text is right aligned, like the Picture of the Now? --Champthom 01:26, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
- On second thought, I don't think ED adds captions to the front page video, and sometimes it's better to let the video speak for themselves. --Champthom 18:01, 3 May 2009 (CEST)
The current vid sucks
No, really. --Sonijew 12:34, 21 November 2009 (CET)
- A little background: on that guy's YouTube channel a couple months back that guy made a TOTAL SERIOS video about how Chris isn't a very good artist and his characters are unoriginal Sonic recolors and then he proceeded to go to buy some REAL ART SUPPLIES and do an even shittier (!) version of Sonichu and Rosechu. He's like 45 too. Unfunny but still weird and unbelievable. He has some degrees from Patriot Bible University or something up on his wall, too. --Anaconda 13:25, 21 November 2009 (CET)
- Which video is this? Glorious Tentacularity 13:34, 21 November 2009 (CET)
- His commentary on Chris his shitty fancomic. From what I can gather he's a lonely middle aged accountant with some kind of cool autism spectrum disorder. He makes YouTube videos and sometimes gets attention because he put "Jesus" or "Mohammad" in the title. He offers Chris advice on life and art in the first video, like Chris will give a shit about what he (or anyone else) says. --Anaconda 14:36, 21 November 2009 (CET)
- The reason it's featured is because he's a guy who takes this drama super serious and it's amusing. --Champthom 06:04, 22 November 2009 (CET)
Hellsing
This is probably the stupidest video ever. Seven minutes of TL;DW, and I've been known to sit through some abysmal shit. If we're looking for critical commentary by other fat basement dwellers, this guy is way more thorough--his 'epic rant' tard rage lasted for FIVE parts. --Umad 00:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Counterpoint: This guy appears to be wearing a medallion, so maybe he knows what he's talking about. --Umad 00:40, 8 January 2010 (UTC) (edited by Umad, toning down my own rhetoric)
- Goddamnit, he obviously doesn't know shit about Chris-Chan, other than some basic facts he skimmed off his ED page or something - shit that everyone and their hamster know about. After seeing the ending of the video - I realized that it's just a goddamn plug for the CWCki, that he made, in hopes of getting us to think that he is some awesome motherfucker, and subscribe to him. I've seen some videos he's done previously too - he's a fucking retard. --NeoShadow 13:48, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Watch closely - he bases most of this off the CWCki. His list of people Chris has made death threats to is the same as in Death threats. The comment about Chris being "racist, homophobic..." and so forth is the same order as from the Christian Weston Chandler article. Yeah, he's a fatty but unlike other Internet ranters who just watch a single Chris video and decide to babble on about Chris ("WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS GUY? HE MUST BE LIKE, 40 YEARS OLD! AND WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH HIS SONIC MEDALLION, EH?") he actually bothered to do some homework, via the CWCki.
- Find a better video that reflects the now and replace it if this one bothers you.--Champthom 17:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- I couldn't care less about Captain Guido, in my corner of the world we have a maxim:"There's no such thing as bad publicity". Our real problem is that we are still on the fringe of the internet. Few conventional media would dare to touch Chris's story. Because of this, I am glad for any plug we can get. Griffintown 14:35, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- I've no major objections, but I have to say that the Cleveland Show parody we had before was badass. --Sonicow 16:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

A Guide to Editing Video of the Now
Since I don't always feel like editing the Video of the Now, I'm going to start letting others do it. But here's a tip on what makes a good video of the now and what doesn't.
As with the Quote of the now, the Video of the Now should reflect The Now - the current state of Chris. So if Chris is raging at people, find some remix video of Chris angry, not some random YouTube rant about Chris from a year ago.
Usually if Vivian puts out something, it's cool to feature it. Or if a "notable" troll like Chris's current troll releases something, that's usually a good choice as well.
Remixes, music videos, etc. are fun things to have as well.
Try not to use Chris videos unless you absolutely must - obviously Chris's own videos can reflect the now but it's rather unoriginal and people are going to see those videos in the articles anyways.
Pro tip on how to find stuff - look at Krapple or PVCC. Just rip off what's being discussed there, ideally videos people are saying are good.
Oh, and frequency - try not to edit it more than once a day, unless something epic happens like an audio gets released and you want to feature a YouTube version of it. I've had that happen - I post a video, and then something even better comes along. Ideally try to update this at least once a week, if not sooner. --Champthom 21:16, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
