***Correction: I said 'Ian Watkins' several times in the video but meant Jim Watkins (dumb mistake).

This is just a short video about some 8chan news. They're re-starting the platform with a different name, which is a really good idea (wipes out previous negative connotations associated with 8chan). The news only lasts the first 3 minutes of the video, then after that I go into detail about analysing the Japanese name and then looking at some of the related news.

I'm not sure if you guys want to see these kinds of videos. It's hard to cover all the happenings but I sometimes cover some more important events. I'm currently looking into doing some kind of a weekly news summary, or something like that perhaps; in addition to the analysis videos of the older posts I have been doing. One other video coming within a few days, I recorded three videos at the same time here, so my voice was slighted messed; no point in releasing all the videos at the same time though.
