You should check out the Tiber Septim one. It's, uh. Unique.

/r/teslore has noticed him, too. http://www.reddit.com/r/teslore/comments/1o1ni0/how_accurate_is_the_shoddycast_lore_series/

Maybe we should, y'know, contact him, though. Dunno if he realizes some of his inaccuracies.

My biggest problem with videos, of any sort, is that they're static. Say someone sends him a message with all corrections for his videos. What's he going to do, re-record all of them? Are his listeners going to re-listen to all of them?

Personally, I think that the only way to go is to do a series of videos in seminar-like format, with multiple presenters who are 'lore masters' talking about things, rather than just reading. And to have their points and the topic in general proofread and discussed beforehand.

I'm just confused about why they put a slightly enlarged Daedra heart on an enchanting table to in place of the Heart. Why not just use actual Morrowind footage? It would look exactly the same as the Skyrim shot considering that ugly cell-shading filter that they slap on everything.

The whole series is like a software designer making a show about paleontology. He has no idea what he's actually talking about, he pulls all his facts from a wiki, and in the end he makes people who are genuinely interested in the subject mislead and disappointed.
