About this deal

Critical Drinker After Hours is a companion channel, with a variety of different styles of content. This includes: Examples of this include I was SO WRONG about Captain Marvel, Remakes Are Awesome, The Genius of The Last Jedi, Female Thor - At last, Marvel gives fans what they ALWAYS WANTED!, Finally, a James Bond for the Modern Era!, Social Justice Is Great For Videogames, Batwoman in Trouble - Ruby Rose Quits, Marvel's New Warriors Looks AMAZING!, Gotham High is EXACTLY What the Comic Industry Needs, How to Be the Bestest Journalism Evar, and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier - It's The Best Show Ever Made. During one particular film shoot he was required to undertake military boot camp training, as he was to play the part of a World War Two soldier, and it was this training that led to his keen interest in military history and the many conflicts that have occurred. It was this interest that led him to research historical conflicts and, with his love of writing having already been ingrained from an early age, he then went onto write his first novel that was to see the introduction of Ryan Drake as a lead character. Other research included visiting Eastern Europe and America, spending time on the weapon ranges there, a journey which also took him to Washington D.C. Ryan Drake, once a decorated field operative, is now wanted for treason. On the run from the CIA’s corrupt Deputy Director Marcus Cain, he has spent the past six months in a remote French safe house. Drake’s former life seems to be behind him, but the uneasy peace is shattered when Cain moves against him with startling force. Believe that!" -- The Drinker makes a proud boast or proclamation of something, followed by the yelling "Believe that!".

Drinker's Chasers -- Excerpts from Open Bar and VIP Lounge streams, about a particular subject that was discussed, such as subverting expectations, the death of Hollywood, superhero fatigue etc. Russia, 1959. Nine members of a Soviet mountaineering team on an ambitious expedition into the Ural Mountains are found dead, victims of massive and bizarre injuries. The Dyatlov Pass incident, as this grisly event came to be known, remains unexplained to this day. The book has, again, some wildly fast-paced action sequences, endless twists and turns (some of which are actually surprising), lush writing and great attention to detail, and an array of interesting, complex characters most of whom end up behaving like monsters a good part of the time. The author has a flair for dramatic, cinematic scenes - so much in fact that it's sometimes possible to anticipate how certain scenes will play out because of this - and this series final is a grandiose ending to a complex (convoluted, perhaps) story with staggeringly many layers and points of view. Well, in many ways the second Ryan Drake story is much like the first: there's a lot of fast paced action, multiple characters who all get their moment to shine, interesting locations, conspiracies to unearth, and a seemingly simple mission that turns out much more complex and dangerous than the characters ever expected. It's a book that's hard to put down until the whole story is finished, that's for sure.

After graduating high school he moved on to university, gaining an Honors Degree in Information Technology. To support himself during his degree he worked a number of part time jobs, one of which was a Will Jordan is the bestselling, internationally published author of the Ryan Drake series. He was born in Scotland in 1983. His works to date include:

Sadly, Jordan's editor let him down again... badly. Within the first few chapters, there's a comment about the landscaping around a building, where Drake observes that a "coy pond" wouldn't have been out of place, presumably meaning a Koi pond. Then there's a scene where Drake's superior asks him something like "Was anything I said unclear?", to which he responds "Abundantly.", as if he'd been asked "Did I make myself clear?"... It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” For fans of World War Z, a chilling mystery, an ancient threat, and a race against time to save humanity–inspired by the true events of the Dyatlov Pass incident I wante …more Great question! Yes, Cain is very much the Big Bad of this series, and there were three aspects of his character that were important to me: There seems to be no wound, neither mental nor physical, that can prevent her from easily beating up anyone who crosses her path. And this is told to us ad nauseam throughout the book.Laughing in his distinct tone, often with his picture onscreen, in response to something ridiculous. Knowing this man holds information vital to the ongoing conflict, the CIA bring in Ryan Drake and his elite Shepherd team to find and rescue their lost operative. I started this channel first and foremost because I'm passionate about storytelling in any form, and I appreciate the simple joy of experiencing a work of art for the first time, and that's what entertainment really is when you get right down to it. From the humble to extravagant, the derivative to the inspired, whether we love them or hate them. And when they're at their best, they're quite simply remarkable. They have the power to tell stories that uplift our spirits, captivate our imaginations, stir the sense of adventure, or test the limits of our fears. They give us glimpses of fantastical worlds beyond our own existence, presenting ideas that question our assumptions or broaden our horizons.
