DICTATION DEVICE ENGAGE

Diane, I find myself in my rather splendid newly rennovated bunker, please pass my regards to the chaps in maintenance. Excellent job. If you would be so kind as to ask them to turn the heating down by 4-5 degrees, that would be most helpful. 

My caselog currently looks to be heavier than is optimal. This business with the trains is proving to be more time consuming than I had, at first, expected. It's getting in the way of my being able to refocus on what the dwarf in the red lodge was saying to me. I'm thinking of employing a Native American technique of breathing through my eyelids...

*Jack Nance moodwalks into the room*

Nance: Drink, Agent Failure?

Failure: This is a DAMN FINE can of Red Bull!

Yes, friends, I'm about to start ramping up the production of videoooo again. Sorry for the hiatus in the past couple of weeks. As longstanding viewers already know, this is not a normal occurrence - I just got really busy at work.

So.

• Tue: Rimworld for the backers
• Wed: A game a lot like Rimworld, for everyone
• Thu: That same game again, with more adventures
• Fri: The final part of that game. Adventures TBC
• Sat: Soviet Republic... THE LIVE STREAM
• Sun: Baseball and Rimworld for backers

If you encounter horrendous numbers of advertisements during one of my videos please let me know. YouTube recently made mid-roll (ie in the middle of the video) ads automatic across every video. I opted out of this, but it seems this opt out occasionally accomplishes absolutely nothing. Mid-roll adverts, except when used in a comedic fashion, are a blight. They're bad for viewers and I have only ever used one mid-roll once, and that was as the punchline to a joke. I put 1 advert at the start of the video, after that you should never be interrupted if you watch in a single sitting. If you get more than one in a video, start yelling immediately. 

Better still, if you can be bothered, @cnlfailure and @teamyoutube with your complaint via Twitter. Those guys will be taking the pulse of community sentiment, so it's a good way to be heard.

Serious face done. 

I'm going to go make some video.
