My First 2026 Update! 🥳 (Announcements) (Patreon)

Welcome to a brand new year, everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season full of merriment, rest, and quality time with your loved ones.

Looks like these monthly updates already slipped. 😔 Let's call these "quarterly updates" of the worlds of Brian Saviano, Bricks 'O' Brian, and Pro Gamer's Guide, shall we?

Let's dive into a MEGATON of hotness cooking up in the first few months of 2026.

What's My Focus for 2026?

A new year means realigning myself with my goals, priorities, and focusing on what matters most.

Here's where I'm focusing my energy in 2026:

Primary Personal Goal: Continue my weight-loss journey by implementing sustainable Healthy Habits into my everyday life (see what I did there? 👀)

Personal Sub-Goals:

Take a 10-Day vacation with no work whatsoever! 😅

Embark on six mini-adventures throughout the six states of New England.

Expand my cooking capabilities to smart bites and comfort meals.

----------

Primary Professional Goal: Driving growth to the Bricks 'O' Brian YouTube Channel, garnering 100,000 subscribers by year's end.

Professional Sub-Goals:

Foster meaningful, long-term relationships with sponsors to support continued growth.

Maintain a consistent video upload schedule across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms.

Create an uncompromised live-show experience for the community, featuring themed content, tentpole events, and 'must-watch' moments.

Establish more of a "personal brand" outside the typical Bricks 'O' Brian/Pro Gamer's Guide content (more on this later).

Participate in more creator collaborations across videos, live shows, and podcasts.

Obviously, life happens, and things will change, but this is my starting point. I'm not one for sitting around and waiting for life to happen, so let's keep moving toward a brighter, happier future together!.🌞

Celebrating My 30th Birthday! 🎂

Yeah, it's about that time... I'm turning 30! I said I wasn't doing birthday bashes anymore... but oh well. I love spending time with y'all. 🤷

To celebrate, I'm doing a 10+ hour live show full of announcements, community games, and giveaways.

Saturday, January 24th @ 12 PM ET on YouTube and Twitch.

A Not-So Secret Instagram Account 📸

Does turning 30 make me a grown-up? Some say it does. Why not turn that wise, sage advice into something special that everyone can enjoy?

I've started a "personal" Instagram account, @briansaviano

Over there, I'll post more personal and heartfelt content (think 'Fireside Fridays' style of content, meaningful life advice, dilemmas, etc). I'm not committing myself to posting a ton, but if there's a thought or moment that's worth sharing, and it doesn't fit the "Bricks 'O' Brian" vibe, it'll go there.

My original plan was to do "Fireside with Brian Saviano" as its own show, exclusive to Patreon. Given my bandwidth and focus for 2026, I'm postponing that idea in favor of growing a following on my "personal" account. If there's true demand for it, I'll reproach the idea when the time is right.

Oh? LIVE Shows are Evolving! ⚡

Since I'm planning out my life further in advance, I figure that could carry over to live shows! Instead of deciding in the moment what to do, I wanna approach things in a way I haven't before - themed months!

Every month will have a new 'theme' that carries through live shows, videos, and other community events.

Take a look below. 👀

***Roadmap subject to change***

This is just a glimpse at new ways to do what I love- play games and make memories. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Be sure to follow me on Twitch and stay subscribed on YouTube for the latest live shows!

A Treat for Minecraft Fans ⛏️

Last year, I did a brief test for a 24/7 Livestream showcasing classic Bricks 'O' Brian videos, and it was received really well!

Every so often, a long-time fan will pop in asking, "Where is 100 Things to do in Minecraft?" I haven't had a solid answer for them- until today.

I'm launching '24/7 Nostalgic Minecraft Youtuber Gameplay' - a 24/7 Minecraft livestream showcasing my classic survival series videos.

You can watch the livestream HERE!

'Defeating Trolls' Continues Development 🧌

Development of my third book in the Pro Gamer's Guide series, 'Defeating Trolls', is progressing nicely!

Mr. Kevin Hinle is chipping away at illustrations, rewards, and coming in, and hype is brewing for our Summer 2026 release window.

For a complete review of everything, check out our latest Kickstarter update HERE!

NEW Collectible Cards Coming Soon! 🃏

I'll be unveiling the next batch of collectible cards during my '30th Birthday Bash Live Show' on Saturday, January 24th.

To give folks an opportunity to catch up on the collection so far, I'm offering individual cards for purchase on the Bricks 'O' Brian Shop. Be warned, it's only for a limited time, though!

You can purchase individual cards HERE!

All collectible card purchases help me work on new projects and videos, and keep the lights on.

Thank you for supporting my crazy dreams in 2026! I look forward to creating more memories alongside y'all. 🩵
