Thirty Second Stories (.com) is ALIVE

I'm excited about this!

Videos aren't loading consistently for me though (Mac OS X/Safari). Let me know if you want me to check for JS errors or something

OMFG how did I completely miss all this!? I saw the (original) thread title and assumed it was a TV show so I havent looked :( I missed out!

Whose is the praying mantis tale?

nah, you're right on time. :)

xpost hmm, that's weird - other than the obvious mobile/tablet thing i haven't heard of anyone having any problems loading the video yet.

when you say they're not loading consistently, what do you mean? there's a long pause before one starts? or does it ever get completely stuck between videos?

praying mantis tale is an ilxor, but i'm actually not sure who he is on ilx! credits here

he has an amazing speaking voice as well.

he does, and Ive no idea who that is on here either - own up man!

PS happy to add an antipodean drawl to proceedings if you ever need further worx later on!

Yeah I want in on this as well, this is amazing

XXP - I am the mantis :)

Irl the little feller did a very cartoony single take and flinch, it was funny and anthropomorphic, but KM's kinda sinister mantis matches my dour retelling perfectly.

Also it reminds me of the cover of Katy Lied!

do i recall him doing some acting or something? he should record audiobooks.

thanks :) am doing my first pro play this year. i want to get into some voiceover stuff eventually too. i was kind of messing with the body story, wanted to go for a kind of noir feeling.

i have started doing my own audio stuff as i really enjoy it - this is fairly rough but take a listen if you like: https://soundcloud.com/ronan-fitzgerald/fatherpatfrancis

followed!

the mantis story had a great video and reminded me of when i was similarly confronted by a possum staring at me while i was lying in bed.

i like how they all feel fantastical, not that i don't think they are true, just that their brevity and the different accents and topics give it this cosmic feeling.

i swear i will check this out on my 3-day weekend.

i wd have to send you mine on cassette. :)

these sound great

also did you get my email

also will you accept untrue stories at any point in the future, I mean I have my doubts about teacup

Don't worry morbs it'll only take you 5 minutes or so, max!

wins when did you send it? I thought that I'd responded to everyone but maybe I missed it somehow!

I just need to make 2 more and then I can finally do an update. Looking doubtful that it will ever work on mobile, though. (

(Eyeless sad face)

new episode, Monday at noon eastern. 5 new stories (including ilxors silby and and tangenttangent and gr8080). for other ilxors whose stories i haven't gotten to yet, i'm sorry. i have a deep backlog and they're kind of taking me forever.

this update will add support for iPad and Android, but not iPhone (fuck! hopefully it's coming home. we're still working on it).

yay!

alright, episode 3 is up!

hahaha you went with my drunker take (of course)

nice! these are v cool

i'm finally going to bite the bullet and reach out to a few of the places that helped me out with articles for conferencecall.biz to see if they're interested in writing about this. i hightly doubt it but it's worth a try i guess. i know it's not a big deal but i already went around to a crew of people when introspections.me came out and they were all like "yeah man it's really cool, ahem, er, uh i'll ask my boss if i can write about it but we're really busy this week so yeah i don't know, er", and i feel like if i bug them again for thirtysecondstories and then they don't like it, they're going to quietly filter my emails to the Spam folder.

This'll probably get attention, but even if it doesn't just keep doing stuff. With this kind of shit, the deeper your back catalog, the better it'll be when yr shit is actually covered

record a bill simmons rumor into your website

good stuff!

Thanks Bill! or rather, thank all the people who contributed the cool stories.

who had all them tables

Saw an ad that reminded me of these

which ad?

I've been phenomenally lazy over the last month and haven't made any progress.

It was an American man talking about his shoes

No wait he was talking about his hairstyle over an image of his shoes

hahaha
