Updates and information regarding the blog itself.
No review today or Friday, but there will be one on Wednesday.
A marathon of reviews will begin on Saturday and continue up until Halloween to close out the month of spooky. After that, I hope you’ve been playing Atari today, because that’s all we’re playing in November.
Sorry about the incomplete Slammiversary posting that I had completely forgot about. I was supposed to have it done soon, but then lost interest and forgot about it. I’m usually diligent on this stuff, but I’ve been preoccupied as of late.
Good news is that we’re fairly on track with videos. No set schedule for the rest of the year save for maybe a couple key dates in October (the Hell’s Kitchen Wii review as well as knocking off the three DS Castlevanias), but truthfully, I’ve been starting on getting stuff ready for 2026 so that by the time we’re ready to get started there, there’ll be no setbacks.
Finally, I saw the latest Strange New Worlds… the one where everyone turns into a Vulcan and also guest starring Patton Oswald because god forbid we can’t have a show without that fellow around… anyway, the less said, the better.
Later.
P.S. I have a poll up… for a friend. Click here to check it out.
P.P.S. New review will be up on Saturday. Feeling a bit sick and also wanted to add a bit or two to vid before going ahead. And then next week, it’s Star Trek’s 59th anniversary and we’re doing… nothing of significance.
Just a quick note: today’s scheduled video has been pushed back to tomorrow. I had a couple birthday parties to attend over the weekend and I didn’t have time to do work on videos. Videos are still (as of this moment, at least) scheduled for Wednesday and Friday.
In other news, Extra Bit videos will resume in two weeks and will see weekly Tuesday uploads.
Been feeling under the weather and unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to do some vital fixes to the next batch of videos, so we’re pushing this week’s batch to next week and we’re having an impromptu week-long marathon of daily videos. If I’m feeling up to it, we’ll see about getting a quick live show in a couple days to make up for it. Sorry.
Empty space because I have nothing of note to say at the moment… I have some time off and some of it is being considered on an extended out of town trip where I will be as far away from people as possible… okay, that’s a lie. I’ll likely be in a hotel room in a crowded city that’s riddled with construction cones and closed off roads… but at least everyone will speak proper English.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been doing… well enough. I’ve done my injections for the Crohn’s and I’m supposed to set up a time for a scan somewhere down the line. For now, it’s been relatively quiet. I’ve been relatively healthy. And I haven’t killed anyone… on purpose or otherwise.
Should I let that hang or do I put a disclaimer in the event people think I’m being serious about that last bit? It’s the Twitter age; everyone’s a goddamned moron by choice… I’d use stronger wording, but I’m trying to be nice here.
In any event, I’ve been getting some stuff ready for future video fodder. Mostly in the bang some shit off the bucket list because that’s mostly done. There’s also some stuff being prepped for the future and there’s quite a bit of holes I need to fill beforehand. So let’s just say that there’s stuff being worked on.
I do want to do a live show before I leave… should I leave… I’m still on the fence on that.
Today’s scheduled Sunday Gimmick Table has been pushed back to next week due to me not feeling well yesterday and being on my back for most of this warm day. So today, I’m going to punish myself by going to see Superdog on a potentially rainy day.
Anything else going on should be on scheduled… he lied… maybe.
Normally, there’d be a review, but since it’s the fourth of July and we’re in a trade war with our neighbors down south, I’m civically and dutifully obligated to refuse to post content on this blog… so the above is all you’re getting today.
Stop making America shit and then we’ll talk.
Or wait until tomorrow, where it’ll be business as usual and I’ll go back to loving you all.
Until then, go fuck yourselves.
Later.
Added this for the Youtube crowd, but figured I would repost it here.
A new video review thing is coming tomorrow… and also a health update because it never occurred to me to do that here. Long story short… I’m feeling better than I was last month, starting some treatments to take care of stuff that needs taking care of. Slowly but surely getting back to the old routine… appreciate the few well wishes I get. The road to recovery continues…
Yeah, it’s all I’ve got.
In other blog-related matters, I do have a Bite commentary coming up that talks about my recent health scare. It should be up on Thursday. Do check it out when you can because it brings you up to speed on everything.
First off, a happy Easter to those who celebrate. I’ve just finished my morning doses and I’m prepping for a turkey dinner with the family later in the day that has me a bit anxious, but… we’ll see how that goes.
For the moment, I’ve been feeling fine. I’ve been largely experimenting with what I can and cannot eat, mostly in terms of what gives me bad bowel movements and what does not. For the most part, I haven’t had the serious pains or bouts of diarrhea that had been a thing for the past few months, but I’m not ruling out that possibility. What I’ve got is a temporary fix that can get my life back on track… and yet sometimes, I wonder if it’s actually worth the effort.
Forget that last part. I’m thinking the quiet part loud there.
Beyond that, not much else going on. I’ve managed to finish rendering a couple video reviews that should be going up some time this week. I’m also uploading an old review from years ago that somehow never made it to the Youtube channel for some reason, so those folks are getting a bit of a bonus. There’s even a brand-spanking new edit of another old review that really, really needed it.
I was planning on watching Wrestlemania 41 Part 2 later tonight, but considering that Part 1 was largely a slog to sit through, I’m debating whether I should hold off until Monday morning, since I’m going to be off for the next couple weeks to recover from my recent episode. In any event, there will be a new Ramblemania this coming Wednesday and possibly a RAW After Mania musings since that’s also a thing that we do regularly around here.
That’s your Sunday sermon, as it were.
Later.
Yeah… so about those extra reviews…
Looks like those won’t be happening, since I’ve now developed a sore throat out of nowhere. You’ll still get a video on Friday – and considering the nature of the video itself, I pretty much need to have it out by Friday – but it’ll be the only video out this week.
In fact, it may very well be the last video out this month, as there are other concerns that need my attention and I have a feeling that I’m not going to have much of a chance to get things done on this end. So if posts start to get a bit infrequent for the next little while (mostly the pre-made stuff that’s slated to be published, like the PPVs muings), then that’s why.
Hopefully things will return to normal sooner than later, but if not… well, we had a decent run these past couple months. It’s just sad that we couldn’t keep that momentum going.
Sorry, folks.
Will get back to you soon.
