Let's Nerd Out! Part 1 of 2: Action Figures & Comic Books! [ ASMR ]

I channel my inner geek in this 2 part mini-series (only because it was too long for 1 video!) where we look at some DC Universe action figures and various comic books acquired over the years. Part 2 will be the next video after this one, with a look at movies, video games and books.
Maybe one day I'll return to this "series" when I get around to acquiring Castle Grayskull, Skeletor, He-Man, etal. ;)
Tingle on,

What is ASMR?
In my subjective view, ASMR is 2 things: a sensation and a medium (like music for example).
The sensation itself (ASMR) stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering and personal attention.
ASMR videos, the medium, are not only meant to help induce the sensation or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to relieve their anxiety, stress, headaches, insomnia, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, to serve as a study aid and much more. It is quite therapeutic, for both the creator and recipient, not much different than the mediums of music and painting.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy affect.

I started collecting comics for fun in the 90s. I'm pretty sure they're all worth nothing, but I'm really happy I got the chance to enjoy that feeling of carrying a new issue in your backpack, going home, and carefully reading through the story and getting immersed into that world. I didn't grow up with comics or many videogames, so it was very foreign to me. I still have the comic books in storage.

My dad is a huge guy on all of the 70's figures you were talking about. Younger when I use to live with him and stuff, he had the Star Wars figures in the boxes, they'd have Darth mauls face in the upper left corner, scare the crap out of me. Lol. I don't remember much of He-Man stuff, but he was huge on that as well as the transformers and Voltron. The G.I.Joe figures, he has a whole box in the closet. It's filled to the brim. Great video man, love this nerd stuff. The Question for the win! Wish I had a figure of him. :P

oh wow... I know I'm a big nerd. I had a discussion earlier about "Human-Elven Vernacular English." But I have become too snooty in my tastes. This reminds me how much I miss books, comics, action figures, video-games, and movies. TV, the internet, and tabletop has kind of taken over. It brings me back to when I'd go to Fanexpo and just be stunned at what I was seeing. I gotta go back to my nerdy roots. i need to read more books and put my action figures back on display. Thanks for this :)

@ssgsorrels 8 жыл бұрын

for those curious as to the characters the action figures are modeled off of that ER wasn't as familiar with: specter-literaly the embodiment of God's wrath and the spirit of judgement and justice. he is basically all powerful booster gold- hero from the future who steals a legion of super hero flight ring and a super suit and goes back in time to our time and becomes a corporate sponsored super hero until he has a change of heart. old blue beetle- ted kord, tech genius and owner of kord industries (basically a dorky bruce wayne) metal men-doesn't matter, they are kinda lame. hawkgirl-either a thanagarian alien police officer with a mace made of nth metal/ a reincarnation of a egyptian princess trigon- basically the devil, all powerful, and father of Raven from the teen titans via a human woman sacrifice/lover cheetah- barbera minerva, a explorer who ends up becoming the living embodiment of an ancient cat god within her, and turning into a super strong and fast cat person. due to a botched ceremony however, she is driven mad and in constant pain. ultra humanite- honestly even I don't know obsidian- son of golden age green lantern Alan scott and villian thorn. can create shadow constructs and has super strength and flight. Darkseid- one of DC's strongest villians. ruler of planet Apokalips, commander of a vast army, despot, and also commands the female furies which include classic characters like big barda. he has immeasurable super strength, speed, invulnerability, flight, can fire omega beams from his eyes (think superman's heat vision but homing and twenty times stronger) and is a genius.

Hey Uncle E! I finally started reading Lovecraft, and "Herbert West - Reanimator", the story about the doctor who attempted to reanimate the dead, sounds like a prime opportunity for ASMR; we (the viewer) could be a body just brought in from the graveyard. The first part could be the preparation and injection of the reviving serum, and then it turns out that, understandably so, the freshly reanimated viewer needs to be calmed down after their jarring return to the world of the living. I know you've done some videos directly inspired by Lovecraft stories, so I thought I'd toss that suggestion out there. Keep doing what you do; it's nothing short of amazing.
