Update Blog - 9/25/21 (Patreon)

Before I get into my week, but I just want to say I'm sorry for the technical difficulties that happened with this week's videos. I contacted Patreon to know what's the problem and they confirmed to me that there was a glitch that broke the connection between the site and the video platform that I'm using here, vimeo. Hopefully, they have fixed it and I can upload my next videos normally again, but once more, I apologize for the inconvenience you've faced and that I didn't solve the problem sooner when they happened. I might still put up a link for the next video in case they still didn't fix it. Anyways, let's get back to the week.

- Released my review of Dug Days and Goofy's How To Stay at Home: Since I still needed some time to work on other videos, I decided to try something different and do a quick vlog review talking about a couple of set of cartoons you can find on Disney+. I knew that I had a lot that I wanted to say regarding the new Goofy shorts (and that they were VERY short) and after watching Dug Days, that's when I knew that there might be some potential to make something out of this. It's no contest that Dug came out with the better cartoons here, but the point was more to create a little experiment to see if people would be interested in unscripted vlog-style reviews and, if so, they could be a valid option to make more quicker reviews and talk about some miscellaneous stuff that people might want to know what do I think. We'll see what the reactions are, but for now, let's go back to the regular reviews I know how to do best ;)

- Working on the next AniMat's Classic Reviews: Now with the Top 10 on the side, I can go back to working on other videos that soon need my attention, including some more ACRs that are coming up. With the limited time that I had this week and other factors that needed my time and attention, the most I could do get one almost done for this week and spend my energy in making this a strong one as well, especially when this is a well known and interesting subject worth talking about. Right now, I kind of am juggling between two reviews, but I'm sure I'll be able to get them both done efficiently soon enough. But with one close to be finished, I might consider to do something a little special for an upcoming one. I won't tell you when or how, but I have a little idea to see if it can work.

- Setting up my Stream Deck for AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: I think it was a week or 2 ago, I talked with some voice acting people I know and they told me about the Elgato Stream Deck that they use to host Zoom meeting and how easy and efficient they are to use. I figured why not and get one myself because they look convenient for my livestreamings like my podcasts. This honestly turned out to be so much more useful than I could ever expect. I did spend several hours customizing everything and making sure that they work to how I like it, but it is so worth it and make my podcast sessions so much easier to maintain. Plus, with how it can also be used as a soundboard, it gives my podcast as special bonus to really have fun and be a little more crazy with the stories I talk about. I might still need some more time to really get the hang of it, but this is one of the best things that ever happened to my podcast since I started the ACCC. 

- Currently working on my review of My Little Pony: A New Generation: As you're reading this, on top of the other work that needs my attention, I'm preparing the review of the latest Netflix movie for next week. I'll admit, even if I'm not a brony myself or really watched any of the episodes of MLP: Friendship is Magic, I was impressed with what they showed in the trailer. Will that translate into a good movie? Well, that's what I'm about to find out. The ACR I worked on this week was good practice to get back into my reviewing side, so let's hope that energy can translate into a good review for this one.

So that's all I got to report for this week. This was much more of an eventful week than I thought. I don't know what next week will bring, but one of these days, I really gotta take it easy on myself instead of just telling myself that while I go crazy with my work. We'll see, but until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
