Hey everyone,
After some careful thinking and looking at various options, I've made the very tough decision to put reviews on hold indefinitely, and pretty much all videos on this channel. I'm communicating this with you so you know to cancel your Memberships to the channel should you wish to.
The main reason why I'm doing this is because for the past year my Let's Play channel has been outperforming my Main channel by about 5-6x the revenue. It's also a channel I only put about 20% of my time into, because of how demanding the time is to make reviews. So I'm basically going to be putting all my time into Let's Plays and Twitch, as I just haven't been able to make reviews sustainable. I've tried, but I've always had to do other content to "pay" for the reviews. Doing that has diluted my channel quite a bit, so there's no real focus, and as such videos are extremely unpredictable. My reviews can vary between 3000 and 300,000 views regardless of the game, and this is really difficult to keep doing as a job when I put the same amount of time and effort into each one.
I plan on doing a final sort of Senate Meeting / Blog going further into things for those curious in the coming days. I'm coming up to 5yrs doing this full time, and so I'm planning on making some changes, including a possible rename/rebrand of the Let's Play & Twitch channel, and re-launching the discord with the aim of it being a much friendlier place to chat with people.
I may one day come back to reviews, but if I do, I'd probably just launch a new channel for that, so that it keeps its focus and builds an audience for one thing.
Thank you for all your support, I really did try to make reviews work, and tried many different things over the years to help grow an audience for them but its very, very tough! - I'll respond to any comments here but Discord is the best place to chat with me!

Hey everyone just a bit of an update;
I had a bit of a break over early-December to mid-January as I had been feeling a bit down generally. I wasn't really planning it, I just found myself not being productive and then decided I needed some time off. It wasn't YouTube or work that had gotten me down, in fact things were going great, but several other circumstances I think just came together at the wrong time and sapped my energy and motivation.
Anyways, I was just starting to get back into the swing of things, when my parents dropped by for a visit for the first time in 5 years, and the day they arrived, my PC's pump failed again, meaning it overheats instantly and shuts down.
The PC just got picked up yesterday, so I expect to have it back on Wednesday. This means I can't record/make videos on Warno, Expeditions Rome, or continue the Anno series as I had planned.
I do however have all my footage from a great run in Project Zomboid I had, so I'll likely edit and begin uploading that over the weekend on my laptop.
I'm hoping, fingers crossed anyways that once I get my PC back this week, I'll do some catchup and get some regular videos out. My parents have gone back home now, so I'll be around the Discord as usual!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while and that's because I'm working on my Total War: Rome 2 2021 Review Video! It's a pretty huge project because of all the DLC campaigns and factions, and all the history surrounded with the games development, it's building, politics, characters, armies, naval and of course... bugs! I'm hoping it'll be worth the wait! Once that's out I hope to jump over to AOE4!

I just passed 100,000 subscribers on YouTube!!! I'm thinking of maybe doing a Q&A style video, so if you have any questions or topics for fun (like upcoming games / favorite games / future plans etc.) please leave them in the replies and I'll make a video!
I also just moved apartment, so things have been a bit slow for content, but I'm really looking forward to getting settled and getting back to work properly! And thank you for your support, whether it be liking videos, subscribing or just watching - it means a lot!
