Update Blog - 1/16/21 (Patreon)

I know this was an unusual week for my channel because I only uploaded a small side video, but in this case, it's for the best to have more time to work on the bigger and more anticipated ones. I'll explain more here onto why I did this, but it's for the best for what's soon to come and to spend more time working on the videos that many are hyping up for. But other than that, here's my week.
- Released the Update Vlog of Winter 2021: January (or even the first quarter of the year) is always known to be a dead month for YouTubers, mainly because that's when profits go way down low after the big boom of the holidays. This is why you don't often see ajor videos come out at the start of the year. Since I was going to do one of these update vlogs anyways, I decided to take advantage of this moment to give me more time working on my current bigger projects like AL:WDAS+ and just provide the updates for the week. The big goal is to announce the plans for 2021 and what will be ahead in the near future like the end of AL:WDAS+ and what to expect from my reviews like including steaming films, more strict on what people request me so it's not literally anything and upcoming collabs. I think I'm happy with my decision because I didn't have to worry about making any last-minute plans for a video to stick with the weekly schedule. I technically meet it, even if it's not one that's a big deal, but that's only because it gives me more time to do the ones that are ;)
- Did the Disenchantment Watch Party live on Twitch: Here's a little fun unique experience I did on Twitch. I teamed up with the marketing people of Disenchantment to celebrate the new episodes that were released yesterday for Season 2 (or Part 3) by watching a few episodes live and opened up a box filled with a bunch of Disenchantment merch. Wasn't a big thing with around 20-30 people who came to watch it, but it was still fun to try out and gave me some ideas on spicing up the podcast for future episodes, including updating the layout and trying new tricks. To be honest, not sure if I'd want to watch more episodes. It's not bad, but the show can really be hit and miss with half the jokes that are good and the pacing is always awkward. Still, it was worth a shot and it was fun to help promote a big show on Netflix. I'm down to try it again :)
- Editing Part 14 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: So it looks like this will be a bit bigger than I expected. Not the biggest part, of course, but even with talking about three movies, this part will still go over 40 minutes. With the extra time I got thanks to this week's Update Vlog, I got the time to do the most that I can with editing this all together. Honestly, I'm not even done working on this video, but some of it also required some revisions and even rewrites so that I'd make sure everything is 100% solid, especially when I'm dealing with some of the biggest movies of the decade that's still beloved by many, so it is important for me to get them right. I will say that I am almost done. Maybe I can get this done around this weekend of a little after, but I'll have this one complete and then be ready to try something new. But I can optimistically say that this part will turn out to be fantastic, especially with Logan's crazy plan for one big animated segment. Can't wait to show this one!
- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $25+/MONTH: I will have my first episode of the Super Secret Patreon Exclusive Q&A Show ready and released for Monday the 25th. If you have a question you'd like me to answer for the show, message me and mention that it's for the Secret Q&A Show.
- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Thursday the 21th, and Sunday the 24th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.
So that should be all to go and report. I promise that there will be a new legit video that will come next week and that will have a preview on Wednesday and believe me when I say that I'll return with something that will make the wait worth it with something unexpectedly crazy! So, until next time...
See ya later, dudes!
