Where I've Been
🕑 Added 2017-05-29 04:18:25 +0000 UTC Hey my lovely patrons. Just wanted to let you know where I'm at right now, why videos have slowed down, and what the future might hold.First off, if you didn't know already, I picked up a day job at PetCo in mid-January. It's been an... interesting job, one I hope to not need for much longer. It was a part-time job that still allowed time for video production, but that's been gradually changing over the last couple of months. The store's always been understaffed, but after one person transferred and another got appendicitis, it's gone from a part-time to a full-time job rather quickly, and has been eating up a lot more of my time.
Again, I hope I won't need this job soon, I'm building up some saving again (not to brag, but I had a pretty damn good tax return this year) and we're almost reached the $200 mark here on Patreon, at which point I should have a solid foundation to going back to full time with videos.
That will not be happening these next two weeks. I have family that I haven't seen for years visiting, which is awesome but unexpected (some text messages got lost), so my free time is going to be focused on that. But hey, that's why this is a "per video" Patreon instead of a "per month" Patreon! You only pay for work delivered!
When and if I go back to full-time video production, there will be a few changes. Namely, no consistent schedule. When I tried to do the Wednesday/Saturday thing, it didn't effect viewership, nobody seemed to notice when I stopped doing it, my viewership didn't care and it just created unneeded stress. If I go back to full time, I'll aim for at least six videos a month, I just can't promise what days they'll be up. They'll be done when they're done! :)
So that's where I'm at at the moment. Here's a list of the next six videos I hope to do, order subject to change but it's the stuff I'm working on right now:
-Everworld #4
-Requested Review: "Cabal" by Clive Barker
-Doctor Who Book Guide: The Pit
-Requested Review: Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog
-Requested Review: "The Hero and the Crown" by Robin McKinley
-Requested Review: System Shock 2
So that's where I'm at at the moment. Thank you all so much for your patronage, you're awesome and I hope to live up to your expectations. :)

I'm looking forward to the Mystic Knights review! I remember seeing commercials for them around 1998/1999 (they even had Mystic Knights Spaghetti-O's) but I never knew anything about them. Can't wait to learn about them!

I am so jazzed about Mystic Knights. That'll be a huge nostalgia kick for me. I've even refrained from Youtubing it so the Pop Arena video will have more impact.
