The Battle Plan - 10 March 2020 (Patreon)

In the worlds before Colonel, primal chaos reigned. YouTube is good. But the bulldozer can drive only when its treads are greased. 

The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of YouTube and the moisture of Earth, the powers of the sun and the moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile. 

The first egg was named "Thought". Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, "With our thoughts, we make the world." 

Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a stone Colonel. The nature of Colonel was irrepressible!

Look, I really like this opening even though the level of shoehorning is much greater than usual. It makes precious little sense, but those of you who get the reference will almost certainly not head to the YouTube to go reply a memory. Those of you who don't know the reference will wonder what this is all about.

Don't. 

Just let it wash by like so many bandits and daemons, or Master Tripitaka will do that thing to my magic headband again.

So... how's it going?

Good thanks. Nice one. Cheers for asking. I'm really happy with both my Farm Sim and Genesis videos on a creative level. I've not gone as far as I could or would like to, but the ever clicking entropy machine ensures that nothing is ever really finished, so we accept a few imperfections and move onto the next thing.

Soviet Republic. Let's talk about that, shall we? It needs an overhaul. I've not been happy with the videos lately - the game's fine, but my videos aren't right. Too much frustration, not enough joy. This is a joyful channel. I'm doing it wrong. The basic rule that's working in my "good" series right now is to record at least twice as much as you end up using, and have a solid plan before you begin. Then cut the footage down to tell the story, litter it with a few more pop-culture references, throw in something left-field and publish. 

I'm going to get the series to part 30, but I might give it next week off to try and find a better finished format. In its place will be the second part of a 3 and done series that starts this Friday. Possibly. I might want a little longer to perfect it. Which would leave a hole on Friday. 

Hmm.

No idea what to stick in there. I'll come up with something.

GET SCHEDULED

• Tue: Soviet Republic (not a good video)
• Wed: SPACE ADVENTURES IN SPACE (a really good video)
• Thu: Transport Fever 2 (a Transport Fever video)
• Fri: Either NEW SHORT SERIES or ONE AND DONE (a pretty good or better video)
• Sat: Farming Simulator (a good video)
• Sun: Baseball (Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Baseball series is. You have to see it for yourself.)
• Mon: Transport Fever 2 (every Monday for 4 years straight, apart from very occasional ones where there has been a glitch in operational capability)

Cor blimey guv'nor! That's a real chutney of a schedule right there or my ma's not the Duchess of Bognor!

Etc
