"Mission Compromised!" [ A Repairman & Tin Foil Hat Society Special ] [ ASMR ]

You are an A.I. of unknown origin that has been sent on a top secret mission, which unfortunately has been compromised by the enemy! Luckily for you, you are in okay hands with one of the Tin Foil Hat Society's most average Privates, who sends you off through a rift for much needed repairs! The Repairman, unaware of your mission, addresses the major minor abrasions that you endured while escaping from a nefarious enemy, which may have been either the Aluminati ( http://bit.ly/2lhsbL8 ) or worse: the Bubble Boy Brigade! He performs some routine maintenance and upkeep before sending you back on your way through the rift, where you will meet back up with the TFHS, who will most likely send you back out on the mission to meet your impending doom! But don't worry! You should know the drill by now. You're a robot. Should anything happen to you, they'd just rebuild you. Again. For the Nth time. With yet another memory wipe. But maybe you'll get lucky this time! Keep your articulated robotic fingers crossed!

Video contains camera handling, tapping, brushing, crinkling, clinking, page turning, writing, humming, leather sounds, tin foil sounds, saying things, mumbling things, and probably other stuff I cannot for the life of me remember right now as I write this description. Filmed with a Sony Handycam HDR-CX405 and its built-in mics.

This is the first Patron-contributed special, where each month (depending) I craft a video based on the ideas and/or suggestions of certain Patrons.

What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.

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, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.

ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.

Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
