More Battle! More Plan! (Patreon)

Well would you look at this! It's like an update or some such. I've not seen one of these in a long time... a long time.

Why an update now? Because, friends, I want to give you an early idea of what's coming up, because I'm going to be shimmying things around. Shimmying. 

Let's start with the ole Get Back To Work. 

I'll be honest, this series has served its purpose really well. Since herself passed away my normal enthusiastic creativity volcano has been subdued - obviously understandable, but I have found it to be very helpful to be mentally active. A segue into a pro-tip: if you're grieving do not let yourself get bored under any circumstances. Boredom brings out the big big lows. You'll be sad all the time, but avoiding the big big lows is essential. Back to the topic.

GBTW has allowed me to be in-part directed externally, allowing me to freewheel through videos that haven't required me to sink too many brain cycles into the gameplay itself. Then just rattling away through a topic I rarely have more than an "I reckon" about. It's been quite a lot of fun and proved to be a great recharging exercise, so a big thanks for all of you who have contributed a topic to the cause.

I put a cap on the queue last week and there are (at time of writing) just 2 more spots open, after which I'll close it off for the foreseeable future. In terms of how many more videos to come in the series... 22. 

Crumbs.

So what's coming up then?

Well, I've be talking about MAKE BETTER VIDEOS for freakin years, so I'm going to go do that. The plan is to record entire series and then edit them to the point of being properly entertaining to watch. Now, in turn this is likely to erase some of the wilder flights of rambling nonsense. We like those. But that's where streaming comes in.

The Saturday Night Social Club will continue, obviously, along with all the random goodness that goes along with it. 75% playing the game, 25% running gags, weather and nonsense. Lovely. I'll then also add an extra stream each week that is 90% playing the game with all the random let's play madness you know and tolerate and 10% running gags and nonsense.

Friday's series will be "build something", with Monday being "a better video". Over on Electrosports this'll be supplemented with 2 series. When it's go time, that'll be baseball with the resumption of the football season. Later it will be one ongoing sports season at a time (alternating baseball/football) and one season of "well that was different".

Let's talk timing.

I'm starting to record all this business now, but the plan will kick into gear once the GBTW backlog is complete. There was going to be a Derail Valley today on the topic of Community Management, but I'm going to redo it - as it's my specialist topic I bounced around far too much with the end result being a little more incoherent than is preferable, so take 2 it is!

Thank you for you patience, gang. With a bit of effort I think something significantly fun will be just around the corner.

When's go time?

4 weeks? Yeah. That'd probably do it. 

I'll give you some updates along the way, maybe even a cheeky gif or two.

Oh yeah, also Fail Brigade games.

Swanky.
