Category: General Blog Updates

Apparently, unless there’s been a significant drop out as of late, the channel finally broke the 3,000 subscriber mark. That means 3,000 people subscribed to this channel and promptly forgot about it. I know the feeling; there’s a bunch of channels that I subbed to and forgot about. And then when they put up a video and it appears on my feed, my first reaction is not “new video” but rather “who the fuck is this?”

So if you’re one of those people, thanks.

But if you’re one of those people who subscribed to the channel and actually watch (and even – god forbid – enjoy) this low-rent video stuff that I do… thanks to you as well.

I should plan something special for the occasion… but I’m probably just going to go to bed.

In other actual news, reviews will be resuming tomorrow. A make-up stream is being planned, but I’m not so sure on a set date yet. Will give you a heads-up in the community posts or teaser video.

Hello there.

I put Joe Hendry on top because I still believe in Joe Hendry and this is not a meme that will die out in 2024. We wish him luck in his latest attempt to overcome bad TNA booking and get the TNA gold that he should have gotten this past October. Think of the pop you’ll get at the Rumble when he shows up… if he shows up.

As we near the end of 2024 this week and hope that 2025 will be even better than before – we’re not off to a great start, sadly – the thought occurred to do one final update post before the year is up. Although there’s not much left to look forward to this year. New review is going up tomorrow, final episode of the DTM-Cast will go up on Tuesday, and we open up the new year with the written version of The Winners And Losers of 2024, which will also be featured in the aforementioned final episode, with additional commentary to boot.

The reviews will be taking a backseat for a week or so. PPV Musings will be on hiatus for a time until the end of January. It won’t be complete radio silence, however. There is a live stream coming up if I’m well enough after New Year’s Day festivities, there’s a video that I was hoping to get done that’s being pushed back a week (and you’ll see why the timing for this thing is borked), and there might be another thing or two popping up along the way.

So… yeah… ending the year on a whimper rather than a bang… but hey, at least we’ve got Krypto.

That’s a cute-looking Super-Pup.

Maya would be all over this guy.

Later.

I posted this on the YouTube page, but I figured that it bares mentioning here.

New review will be published later today. Next week will see a pause in the review output before the eventual October marathon that doesn’t actually start in October, but fuck it, that’s what we’re going with. The marathon is going to be a random selection of stuff with no real theme behind it, but you’ll get your 5-reviews -a-week offering. The back end of 2024 reviews for November and December are pretty much locked in place, so this is really the place where odds and ends are featured… though since this is October, after all, there will be some spooky stuff to be spookily featured or something.

In other, less exciting news, the secondary “DTM Archives” channel has been renamed into the less-pretentious-but-equally-nondescript “DTM’s Extra Bits.” While I made a somewhat lighthearted jab on the channel just being a place where I dump a bunch of Mega Man Maker stuff on there these days, I do want to try and add some other stuff that maybe wouldn’t fit the main channel… which is funny because when I first conceived the Youtube thing in the first place, the idea was to have EVERYTHING on there. Now the extra bits is for the extra bits that the “hardcores” can check out while the less than hardcores can watch the main stuff, decide they don’t like it, and go back to [INSERT POPULAR YOUTUBE TREND HERE].

Whatever comes of this… eh, it’ll be business as usual ’round these parts. But please… look forward to… something ’round these parts. It’ll be fun. Promise.

I’ll be off for a couple weeks in terms of video content, which should resume on Labor Day weekend, coincidentally that’s when the next episode of the DTM-Cast will be up.

As far as regular postings go… PPV Musings will resume because those are in the can, but anything else that pops up… will actually pop up.

Enjoy the rest of summer… or something.

Later.

Hey, kids. Hope all is well.

Here… eh, not so much.

Long story short… the home base is undergoing repair due to some water damage that occurred. Unfortunately, this affects my “base of operations” where I normally do all the video stuff. Good news is nothing has been lost save for some boxes and stuff, but there are drywalls needing to be replaced. So while I can do some blogging and record some video, when it comes to audio dubbing… yeah, that’s out of the question at the moment.

Needless to say, videos are going to be stalled for the foreseeable future. The only video close to being ready to go is Power Blade 2 and that still needs a bit of work before it’s ready to go. Fortunately, I’m going on a road trip this week where I should have a nice quiet place to set up shop for a couple days and do some quick audio. Who knows? We might make it into an adventure of sorts for the channel. Perhaps a audio program for the future?

Anyway, there’s other stuff coming up on the blog side of things, but the video stuff… we’ll see about getting that up to speed soon. It all depends on how repairs go around here.

Sorry about all this folks. I wish I had better news on this wonderful summer period. Hopefully, things will get better soon… maybe.

Hello, folks.

Earlier today, I made a quick post regarding a postpone of today’s scheduled video upload to tomorrow due to an emergency at home. I won’t go into heavy detail here – I plan on doing a video update to inform the Tube crowd, but to make a long story short, I’ll have to postpone any video uploads until next week. For the record, no one is hurt. Everyone is fine. It’s just that I might be indisposed for a couple days and the next scheduled batch of videos – covering the Star Soldier games on PC Engine – need some final tweaks that I’m not going to have time to make. So sadly, the streak of uninterrupted video uploads continues to not surpass a month.

With that in mind, the last week of June is supposed to revisit the Mega Man games on Game Boy – with their being made available on NSO earlier this month – and that’s going to be the case, still. So next week, we’ll do the GB Mega Man games and then the week after will hopefully see those Star Soldier reviews up and running… at which point, please enjoy July’s worth of low-definition 480p reviews for the world to enjoy.

In the meantime, there’s some fun text stuff that I pulled up for your  reading pleasure. Stuff scheduled for later down the road, but considering the circumstances… no better time like the present. And this weekend will see another Sunday Gimmick Table uploaded, since that one’s been in the can for months.

Sorry about this, folks. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon… whatever that actually may entail.

Later.
