End of The Week Updates [04-14-2023]

                 Another week gone and sort of wasted. What do I mean by this I didn't really do much minus record Entertainment Man Podcast and my own fault for not wanting to get the collab done and time is now ticking hard and fast and need to get into the collab this weekend and I mean really dig into it now. I know I have a month from recording that podcasts with Larry but I mean I am going to be working on it to get it done and finished so I can get to the next one Beast Morphers. I need to refocus and get back on track with this podcasts as we are close to the end game now. 5 years of hard work has certainly paid off. 

               Other then that been mostly working on Entertainment Man Podcast. Still working on interview prep and have a few interviews to catch up still 2 left on the list as I have been playing some catch-up on interviews I had to reschedule and one that was scheduled 2 weeks ago. Either way I am aware that my time off is coming up while I am away and busy with the family on some personal matters and already got episodes to go out for you guys while I am busy and I cannot promise a premiere it depends on my schedule. Anyways that are the updates for the week, have a fantastic weekend and talk to you all Monday!

10th Anniversary Plans?

           I know I have kind of stopped thinking about the 10th anniversary of ChrisBOnTheWeb as right now all eyes are on finishing up the collab right now. We are closing in and getting close to the finish line with it. However, November 2023 of this year, I want to start planning on the 10th anniversary, what we want to do, where we wanna have it and what not. I know it would be fitting in the studio itself but still needs some major cleaning up to do right now. Then you have to think food, what will be do for it, drinks, music, decorations. I honestly do not want to over do it with all of that. 

            Also who is going to come and I already know Justin and Larry are on that long list of invites. Not sure who else but I want to keep it small as possible as I do not wanna risk COVID in this house. I know it's pretty much done but still wanna be cautious who I invite but I have a list of who I'd like to invite to the studio for that. Also when do we do the anniversary on the day of it happening before or after. This is all discussions to have with Justin & Larry and a meeting is definitely in order for the fall. Anyways that is where I am at with anniversary plans I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Contraband Police Video Game First Impressions

             I can say that Contraband Police Video game is very impressive honestly. Even tho I haven't played very much of the game yet but definitely a game I'd play to the end of the story and I've watched a play through on Tmar2 YouTube channel and big shout out to him. Looked like a lot of fun to play honestly and just got into playing it a bit. Got a bit lost on the way back from taking the prisoners to the work camp as that is where they honestly belonged. This game is a very attention to detail and I have showed that. Just made a one or two mistakes but that's OK. Just room for improvement honestly.

             I really am enjoying this and played it on my spare time on the weekend when I had Friday and Sunday off during the holidays. I highly recommend the game and you can get it on stream for a reasonable price. I really love this game and it is completely different from any other games I have played in the past. I always look for a different game to play from time to time as I am tired of the same ones but trying to beat them so I can move onto a different games and got a list of games to beat still and will get to it eventually. I hope they decide to even do a sequel would be cool but if they don't I'm cool with that either way. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Becoming a Coding Master!

             What do I mean by that? Well this was a project and a half that I endeavoured with ChrisBOnTheWeb.com in quite sometime now as I haven't revamped a page in a very, very long time and it was long coming I wanted to do something bigger in mind. I had a big vision and I put it into two parts the content and stream schedule at the top and the Events I go to along with news and changes which I changed to just Updates. I made it simpler with it. 

              With it now complete looks really amazing and you can fine it @ https://www.chrisbontheweb.com/p/schedule.html and it has been live since the day before Easter. I was worried it would be all wonky but adjusts when adding in new content or words to the table and that is how it is built is by a HTML table which I have gotten better and better at over the years. I also use it on the "Staff" Page was well hence that is the way you all see it. I have become a coding master and learned so much thanks to Google and YouTube. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Writers Block

            I know this is a common thing when it comes to writing especially me as a blogger my posts can feel stale at times but I am trying my best to deliver good quality content every day, Monday - Fridays with the occasional Saturday from time to time. Especially having a podcast that I do podcasts it is hard to split the two apart from each other from time to time. I have struggled when it come to coming with ideas and sometimes the best thing is to just sit back and just think about ideas you haven't done. 

            Now it doesn't come naturally sometimes you need to have a notepad and pencil to scratch down some ideas and you don't have to necessarily use it and trust me I've been there where I've not used an idea. In fact I scrapped tons of ideas in the past cause I felt it wasn't the right time to do it or it didn't fit at the time so you guys aren't alone if you scrap an idea cause I've done it numerous of times. Do not give up, it is hard to write sometimes and you have to just leave it as it is and come back to it in in an hour or two. Sometimes you walk away from your pad of paper and while late you're like that's a great idea and that is when you write it down right away so you do not forget it. That is my post on writers block, hope you guys enjoyed this and as usual, I'll talk to you all tomorrow!

I know I'm very extremely busy right now with Power Rangers Collab and Entertainment Man Podcast at the moment but I promise you guys soon I will be back.

Gaming Updates [04-04-2023]

           So I have been playing a lot more video games lately on my extra time and here are the updates:

Minecraft: I have come to the end of my journey with the server. I have one more thing to build and that's the village with villagers and that will probably be the last thing I can possibly, humanly do as I am now out of ideas at this point as the apartment building failed. 

American Truck Simulator/Euro Truck Simulator: Been driving my trucks on there and made a pile of money on the American one and Euro is still work in progress right now but in time I will get better at it. 

The Sims 4:  Been working on the Sims 4 and both Larry and I have our own sims and Larry's now on his 3rd girl, he's been married twice with 3 kids (3rd on it's way) and now on his third girlfriend which is bonkers. Still building his house and near finished. My house is already built but I want to shrink it a bit so I can have some kind of backyard in the process. 

Farming Simulator 17:  I have been playing a bit here and there and got the farm going pretty good right now and seems to be coming along, I have planted a bunch of crops on there but haven't had time to play much of it lately.    

          Those are the updates for right now and the main games I have been playing and I have been still playing Luck Be The Landlord as well between but currently busy with editing the podcasts that was recorded last week so I can post em up for you guys. Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Mamma's Pizza Review [03-31-2023]

             This was requested by my group mod, Billy on a side group I have for ChrisBOnTheWeb and also Jimi. Anyways last week, Larry and I went to Mamma's Pizza and just ordered a pepperoni Pizza with cheese. Note it was a thin crust which I rarely get to have that so it was definitely a nice treat. Now the location is only 10 minute walk from home to go get the pizza which is literally at the corner of a major road and another road but it is nice to have another pizza place since the other pizza place shutdown on us.

                Now the Pizza itself, was the usual nice gooey, cheesy deliciousness out of the pizza and it is definitely the Mamma's Pizza I remember when I went to Mamma's Pizza in Toronto at the Exhibition Place during the CNE many, many years ago. So the Pizza definitely exceeds our expectations 15 out of 10 as I said it exceeds our expectations. Staff there, the girl was amazing in helping us both on the phone as we phoned it ahead of schedule and also gets a 15 out of 10 as well. My team Larry and I will be back there in the future. I hope you guys enjoyed this bonus blog today, thought it'd be a nice treat for you all and I will talk to you all on Monday, have a great weekend!

End of The Week Updates [03-31-2023]

            Another week is over and I am honestly glad it is! It has been hell all week from drama in the community and my personal life too. Anyways here is the updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: I had an amazing meeting with an amazing guest that will be coming on the podcast down the road as it needs to be booked at this moment. Just worked on the notes Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as I couldn't sleep whatsoever. This weekend will be a topic as my guest has to postpone till next month.

Power Rangers Collab: Been editing the collab from last week and I will have the episode out on my website Saturday at 11 am EST. Then I will edit the other one. I am currently also working on Ninja Steel for the future collab so we can get it done and ready by the 23rd. 

Blogs on Saturdays: I have decided to do away blogs on Saturdays as I do not do em too often anymore. Only way I'd do it on a weekend if New Years Eve and Day ends up on the weekend like last year and the start of this year.

          Anyways those are the updates for this week, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I will be talking to you all on Monday for another blog post to start off a fresh and new week around CBOTW Studios.

This Week's Been Odd...

             This week has been odd with the content. While dealing with the drama in the family and my mental health has taken a turn for the worst. I have had to redo over and over again the blog post especially with collab gone into tovsey turvy downward spiral at the time. However that is probably changing but lots to rectify at the moment. So today's post was trashed apparently as I had to shift a bunch of the posts here on the website around cause of my stupidity and not thinking clearly whatsoever. 

              I've not been thinking straight whatsoever and my mind has been all over the place some family stuff that went on Monday and I haven't really worked much on content for you guys and I need to get to work on the collabs especially. I hope the next couple of weeks I can really focus on the content so this way you guys get the good quality content you want to hear. Anyways this week may have been odd but I am back on track slowly but surely and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

I Need To Take At Least 1 Day Off!

             I am notorious for not taking time off for myself. I am always working on something whether it is minor or a major project, I am always working on things. I know it is not healthy to not take time off and even at least one day a week I should just do nothing, no work, no stress, nothing. I know I want to get the collab finished for the 30th season and what not but still I should take a day of rest. Maybe that should be on Sundays I can relax, go to church so this means I would have to change my podcast interview timetable around. Plus most of the time my niece and nephew play on Saturdays and Sundays for their hockey and I want to take an hour to watch em play. 

           I just need to etch that into my schedule and starting this weekend I am going to start taking Sundays off and moving interviews on Saturdays instead of the Sundays this way I can have a complete day to myself and plus I enjoy sitting down and listening to the podcast with you guys each and every week then I can just do whatever but it's not work just a joy doing once a week interacting with you guys. Especially now at 31 subscribers at this point the number is growing on there and views are fantastic. Either way I need to take a day off and not do anything. There is some major re configuring to do in my schedule right now in order to fit in my time off. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

What The Heck Is Going On?

            Well so much has happened with this bloody collab, merger, threats of it ending and so on. I overreacted with it all.  This is the first time you have heard about this from me or my team. My only team member that knows is Brianna. Larry has no clue what is going on with everything. I will sit down with him on camera and talk to him about it and we can talk further. Right now I have to fix it. Cause we have come a heck of a long way. I need to stop freakin out. Cause this new format Larry and I have been doing proved to be a success in the end. 

          All we do is continue to trek to the end game and then we decide what's next after the 30th season.  Right now we do not know what's next and sounding like after 30 seasons being covered any future power rangers seasons will be moved onto The CBOTW Show Audio ONLY Feeds as we want to take it to the next level up with our podcasts. Power Rangers Collab has been so successful but we are ready to take it up a notch after 5 years on it's own as a podcast. Who knows but that is the post for tonight, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Wendel Clark's Review.... [The Last Review]

            I wouldn't call this a review, I'd call this a catastrophe...... Now the food, Carlton Street Club Sandwich with Onion Rings were great and all and still give it 10 out of 10 but that is not the point of this blog it is more the service and lack of communication from our server. A good friend of mine was going to get me a cookie dessert which he got his but I never got mine whatsoever so I ended up cancelling it. To top it off they didn't put the bills as we wanted them as some of us were seperate. 

            That is the tip to the ice berg... There was another server that had an attitude issue with us when we didn't do a damn thing to her. I didn't like that whatsoever and glad I cancelled my cookie to be quite honest. I didn't even leave a single tip as they got nothing, nadda zip. Because honestly I AM NEVER GOING back. They will not get my business whatsoever. In the future, I will be going to other places like Teddy's which has never given me a problem. The service I'm giving -10 out of 5. That is my post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

End of The Week Updates [03-24-2023]

            First of all I apologize if this is late, I thought it wasn't Friday today and completely thrown off by the days so this may be half hour or is and half hour later then normally scheduled and it is truly my own fault in the process but here are the updates for the week:

CBOTW Studios: As you know the studio here has been in transition with the computer for a week now and pretty well think I have settled down with the setup, just a few little moving parts the new monitor, setting up the monitor stand and old computer at the old desk which I will do this weekend I'm sure. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Had some issues with editing software on the older machine but seems to been fixed with a reboot of the system everything seems to be OK now.

Power Rangers Collab: As usual started working on Ninja Steel but stopped cause of the computer switch and now on the newer machine now so that delayed getting episodes done and I think I'm at episode 3 or 4 now but hope to work on it this weekend a bit.

          I hope I can take some time off Sunday for the day to just rest and rejuvenate, a lot going on work wise and this crazy, crazy studio and will continue to update you guys on the progress of desk 2 as it comes. Those are the updates for today, I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

What Do I Think of Windows 11?

          At the start, I absolutely hated it with a passion as all the icons were in the middle and the taskbar was white and too bright but with the help of my neighbour I have customized it a bit to my liking and I really like it now so far. Just the usual where do I find things as it is a bit different from Windows 10 which I have on the old machine of mine which will be used in the future for just the work load and editing the podcast, paper work for the podcast and what not. The old machine has barely anything on it anymore, most of it is on this machine.

          However it is taking me a bit of time to adjust and get use to where everything but I actually like how organized this version of Windows is so it is a bit better then the other version. Plus I had no choice to go to Windows 11 cause they don't put Windows 10 on the new machines and I was planning on upgrading to it. Plus I wanted to be up to the current operating system. For those Windows 10 users it does take some time and Google is your best friend to find out where everything is but it is a lot better then 10. I highly recommend it. It is just taking me a bit more time then usual to adjust but in time I'll be a pro and I already think I am. Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

Chris

Collaboration Podcasts Will be Ending Eventually...

            The title doesn't lie the collaboration podcasts will eventually be ending, including whenever Power Rangers Collab wraps up cause it sounds there will be no more season beyond season 30 but most part any collaboration that is about a TV Show will be all on The CBOTW Show and will be absorbed by that eventually. There could be a possibility that any future Power Rangers Collab could be merged but that has not been discussed between Larry and I as of yet. 

            Even if the collabs end there is The CBOTW Show will absorb your dose of TV and Movie talk as that is what the plan is. Now when is this change taking affect, we do not know. When Power Rangers slows down to a point there is no seasons and yes there has been talks this upcoming season is their last season but you never know with them honestly. Could continue. But as I said, possibly Larry and I could merge PR Collab with The CBOTW Show fully after season 30, retiring the other name of the podcast all together. I should know more by Friday as I do want to talk to him about that more so End of the Week Updates you will know the future of that for sure. Anyways that is my post for today, will talk to you all tomorrow.
