The Battle Plan 24 August 2021 (Patreon)

The video entertainment channel of the future will have only two components, the Colonel and the viewers.

Is that not what it has now?

Yes, but I'm trying to parody something.

Is it going well?

It was until you got involved. As I was saying, the video entertainment channel of the future will have only two components, the Colonel and the viewers. The Colonel is there to make videos...

Hang on, surely "the viewers" is more than one component? I mean, even at the modest scale we're at now there is and indeed are multiple viewers.

I'm speaking collectively.

You're not "speaking" at all, you're typing.

You really aren't helping. Look, the video entertainment channel of the future will have only two components, the Colonel and the viewers. The Colonel is there to make videos and the viewers are there to yell at the Colonel when there aren't any new videos. There. Done.

Really?

Yup, that was it. That's all I had.

You know that it really doesn't work as a concept, right? That's pretty much where we are now. You've said absolutely nothing of any value.

Harsh, but I accept that. I'll be honest I hit upon this concept and had only one line to work off.

That's normal though...

Yes, but I discovered that it didn't really make any sense but I'd already committed by that point so had to come up with an angle to make it work as the intro to this week's schedule.

Presumably, that's why I'm here?

It is indeed.

You're aware that you're straying beyond just being "a bit meta" into "let's do a play about making a play" territory here? Not so much that it's forced, more that it's really low-hanging fruit (arguably not even hanging at this stage, it's on the ground and the wasps have been at it) and therefore a little devoid of anything notably creative.

They can't all be gold.

Yes they can. This was a weak effort. After this your schedule had better make people jolly excited.

I reckon it might...

Tue: Nothing because I'm stupidly busy

Wed: Derail Valley

Thu: Gangsters, a double bill to round off the series

Fri: Transport Fever 2 Japan

Sat: Minecraft, Bannerlord LIVE, Sportsball Draft LIVE (Electrosports)

Sun: Baseball LIVE (Electrosports)

Y'know, that's not bad.

I know, it's pretty eclectic. That's what we're doing for a bit - a Transport Fever each week, then a bunch of simulator type things, some Fail Brigade, Bannerlord live and SPORTS.

Backers series?

I had an idea. Then lost it again. I'll find it again.

Righto.

To the Batmobile!
