2019



So here we are, the last blog post of 2019.

At this time of year, I like to stop, reflect, and take stock.

In summary, I've had a really great, self reflecting, and observational twelve months in which I have experienced love, friendship, and downtime. 

I really only have very few people to mention in this review, because without these people, 2019 would have ended up being a very different year for me all together.

I first of all want to start with my wonderful managers at work, who took me on as their apprentice and have supported me for the last twelve months and will continue to support me as I continue into the new year. 

Secondly, to the programme controller at Radio Verulam who granted me the slot that I needed to kick start a fun, creative, and topical chat show on local radio and to develop a skill and career in broadcasting. It's great as it becomes like a working hobby, you go there to work and to put on the best show possible each week at the same time learning along the way and getting paid with something I think is more valuable than money, experience. 

And last but certainly not least, a big thank you goes out to my girlfriend Chloe. Being with her, I have known so much love, joy, and appreciation for one person. You've been a good friend to me throughout the year and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

If I had any advice for anyone going into the new year, it's "Work hard and be kind"


Happy New Year everybody!

What's in store for 2020?



What's in store for 2020?

As another year soon draws to a close, a whole new year approaches, as does a whole year's worth of fresh content.

This blog post explores some of the upcoming project yet to come for 2020.


DOCTOR WHO AUDIO ADVENTURES

I know, I keep promising that this will come back and then don't deliver. 

The truth of the matter is, I haven't had the time to do a 2019 series as I had originally hoped. I was occupied with new, exciting, and more important things. 

Now that I have more free time on my hands come the new year, I now have some time to write and develop scripts and tell the stories I want to tell. I can't give you an exact date as to when they'll be coming out, but what I can tell you is once I have a set of stories lined up, I will release a proper in depth episode guide which will have all the details of each episode and when you can expect them to be uploaded.


THE CHASE

I have decided to wind down with this. By that I mean, do fewer episodes. Series 9 will only consist of eight episodes, and that's your lot for 2020. 

I'm planning to start production on this in late March, so that the first few episodes can go out in April, then they'll be gaps between episodes which will grow given the seasonal events in which episodes will be uploaded suitable to the time that those events take place. 

I am pleased that series 8 was so well received, but 16 episodes was a bit much, even when you do break it up into two blocks of 8. 


GAME PRODUCTIONS

This includes Mortal Kombat and all the Playstation videos / gameplay etc. That should all still be coming as planned. It's the only content which I can guarantee to deliver on at this time as that takes the least amount of time and preparation work to put together. It doesn't rely on having to do any filming or recording whatsoever. I record off the console and upload it from the console as my playstation is linked to my YouTube account. 

So fear not, new and exciting things to come from January as far as gameplay videos are concerned. 


NEW CONTENT

I am also hoping to get some new recording equipment so I am able to do produce more new and exciting content. I can't reveal what type of content just yet as I'm still working that out but it will be a mix of reviews, day trips, vlogging, etc. 



So all that and more to come within the next twelve months.


I'll still be doing my radio show and maintaining to complete my apprenticeship I'm working on at the moment but all in all very excited for what's to come in the new year and I hope you will all enjoy  what I have in store.

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me for the last ten years, as long as there are people who continue to watch and enjoy what I do on YouTube, I will not stop to continue to make my channel better than before.

MK11: Batch 3 Revealed




MORTAL KOMBAT 11
BATCH 3 REVEALED



Welcome to another Mortal Kombat update, Batch 2 of MK11 videos have just finished today with Sindel's tower and if you've not watched it yet, please follow the link to that video by clicking here.

One thing to point out, you may have noticed that my most recent MK11 videos have been set to an age restriction. This is due to YouTube now releasing a new rule that whenever you upload a new video regardless of your location, you're legally required to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and/or other laws. Every YouTuber is required to tell YouTube whether their videos are made for kids.

And of course, my Mortal Kombat videos are not made for kids, they are disgustingly violent and brutal and just not age appropriate for viewers under the age of 18. So from now on, whenever a new MK11 video gets uploaded on my channel, you won't be able to view it unless you are over the age of 18. 

That being pointed out now, I'm going to move on and tell you the exciting news that the list of characters for MK11 Batch 3 is being released today.

However, the new series won't start until January. There will eight new tower challenges coming your way starting on Saturday the 11th of January 2020.

There will be some Christmas bonuses popping up in my advent calendar for this year, so keep an eye out for those as I'll be doing a tower challenge with Gothic Horror Frankenstien's Monster Geras, Revenant Reborn Jade, and Red Carpet Johnny Cage, and of course, the MK11 Christmas Towers coming soon to The Towers of Time.


BATCH 3 KOMBATANTS

Saturday 11th January - Jax
Saturday 18th January - Kollector
Saturday 25th January - Shang Tsung
Saturday 1st February - Erron Black
Saturday 8th February - Kabal
Saturday 15th February - Noob Saibot
Saturday 22nd February - Nightwolf
Saturday 29th February - Skarlet 


Enjoy, and look forward to the new series.
