 Bars & NU cards: 

^^ Woot! People have been getting their What Bars in the mail! Cheers Sophie! 

Ordered more envelopes (which is awesome that I've used up almost all 600 I bought!) and having a bit of trouble getting more gold foil. They're not easily obtained so i get my tee guy Kev to order them in specially and cut them using a massive guillotine and then send it to me! Once the final 80 are out the door, next up we'll be sending out NU cards :) there's over 1,000, thanks for being so patient!! It was so good having V1 help me with packing bars last weekend, more than halves the workload :)

V1's videogame project: 

His 1st video review will be Destiny 2! There's been a couple problems though - we recorded it a couple weeks ago but after he audio-edited it, V1 didn't think it was good enough (I'm so proud!), so he's re-recorded a new review, but is unhappy with the audio fidelity (which makes me even prouder! I've made him an audio snob!). I've got the OSW equipment at my place and he has the Yetay, and we'll order him a proper mic (and maybe treating the room too). When I've enough of the current film review edited, i'll head two counties over to his gaf, and get that shored up!

Meanwhile he's having a blast chatting to you guys and streaming most weeknights around 7pm GMT (follow him at twitch.TV/OSWreview & get instant notifications!).

Next OSW is Bound For Glory 2017!

Also started getting stuff together for the next NU film reviews and Super OSW but I haven't scheduled when they'll happen yet! I installed my extra HDD and Bluray Recorder yesterday and was so happy they worked first time :)

And anything else?

• I'm hoping to have a video out before November, it's an experimental thing that I'm keen to do. Sorry if I'm being purposely elusive!

 • w/V1 helping me with B-roll, it's kinda difficult this time around with a film review - it takes like 2/3 of the work just prepping it good enough to hand over. I've got set ideas in my head, having to explain it, correct things and add it myself slows down the process, so I might as well just do it myself...it's one of those things that it needs to be *me* doing it no matter how much help I have. 

• I've been keeping more notes about what I've been doing every day and it makes me feel a lot better, that I can review that stuff has gotten done, rather than always looking at the mountain of work that has yet to be done! Definitely given me extra pep :D

Anyway back to finishing this audio! Remember you can always ask me any questions in the comments below and I'm happy to expound.

See ya in the funny pages!
