ChrisBOnTheWeb Updates [08-11-2020]

               It has been a hectic week for all of us, especially Chris who has been working hard on Power Rangers Wild Force but I will get into that today. Not much to really update you guys on but here are your updates for the week.

Website: The site continues to grow with views even without the chatroom no longer present on here anymore as you know we removed it anyways, we still continue to grow on the website and the numbers continue to grow which is a very positive thing. 

Power Rangers Podcast: Chris is finishing up watching Wild Force today and he will be typing up notes tomorrow morning which will be a lengthy process but he will get it done. Then he will probably take a small break for a week or few days at the most and start on Ninja Storm for the final podcast for 2020. 

Sports Talk With Bulldog: He also has recorded the raw intro but no introduction theme as he has to come up with ideas how to do it and he might have a cool idea but he wants to do them and get Billy's approval on it first as it is his podcast.

              There are a couple of small updates and I hope you enjoyed reading these updates. I will be back next weekend as Chris has the Monday - Saturday shift for the blogs which I honestly wish he'd give more opportunities to the staff to post up more like Billy and Larry who have access to this blog on ChrisBOnTheWeb but never know he might.  Hopefully next weekend I got news for you all with what I said above but we will see by next week's post. 

 

Have a great week!

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Has Almost Reached 100k (100,000 Views)?!

            I can't believe it! I couldn't believe this. We're almost close to hitting 100k or 100,000 website views which goes to show with all the promoting of the website, the blog and the podcasts does. We have really have pushed the networking to the max the last few months and really getting our website out there and it really excited to be reaching this far with the website already! The website started getting 100, 200, 300 + views a day which all adds up in the end and that is what it is doing. We're continuing to grow on a daily basis and we just have to keep on building it up. 100K is a lot of visitors both returning and new visitors to the website which is incredible! Ever since we started tinkering with our site and changing the menu bar and what not is when the views started coming in so you guys have been keeping up with out craziness and changes that we have made here on the website recently. Either way, this really makes us happy and I posted a screenshot to prove to you guys we're almost there and honestly it will happen sooner then you think. 

               I am feeling like it will happen and it will actually happen before the year is done but if not before the year is done, then most definitely will happen within the new year but the way you guys are constaqntly returning to our website really makes me feel positively it will happen this year at some point. Don't forget we have September, October, November and December to happen still so those are 4 months to go technically so there is definitely a ton of time. Finally I want to thank you guys for your continuing to support us through all these changes especially as you know we ended a very long running podcast after nearly 5 years and almost 300 episodes and 13 seasons. No matter what we did, you guys continued to support us and have helped us get to this point that our website has been nothing but a success. We thank you for your continuing support and hope you will continue to support us throughout our next adventures with blogging and podcasting.

We're Still Learning With Power Rangers Collab Being Recorded Via Skype!

            Title doesn't lie, we're still learning with how we are doing the Power Rangers Podcast through Skype. I know these are rough waters for not just Larry and I but the entire team. We've been put into a position where we have had to record through Skype which was proven a disaster for us for the first time around and this is why I say that we're learning! We are still in the learning curve of fixing the problem. It will take a while for us to resolve the issues. Yeah, I blew my top off with Larry and it is just passion and really I have started to question in I will continue passed Dino Thunder at this point. However another post for another day and yeah, I just exposed how I really feel with the podcast and honestly I need to be more honest how I feel. We will get better as time goes on and I think we will be recording via Skype for a while at the least till the physical distancing and having masks are loosened up and I think it is best for not my safety but my family and also Larry and his Family. 

              We will come to full circle come September and I am sure him and I will end up recording the second podcast that was missing in June technically and let's just think that we have no problems anymore. However we have to remain positive and optimistic with the next section and I wanna surprise Larry with an email with the next podcast notes! We will get things corrected but it may take a few sessions. I know it's not the same with him being in the same room as I am but this is because of the pandemic going on. I rather not record with him in studio as you know we're in a pandemic right now and it is better safe then sorry to be honest that we record via Skype. To be honest I knew this was coming that we were going to end up recording via Skype since the start and honestly, we should of prepared a little better and that is my own fault we didn't test and figure it out first and that was entirely my own fault. We should of been more prepared but September we will test things out and get it working once again I promise you guys that. We've been testing some new software that I would like to use too.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Moments Recently (Throwback Thursday)

               I was playing Grand Theft Auto 5 and Trevor was at the club let's say and he got too close to one of the girls there and the bouncer LITERALLY threw him out, I'm saying the two bouncers picked up him and threw him out! It was very hilarious and typical Trevor as he is a bit of a douche on the game at times and I see it definitely fitting for a character such as Trevor. Part of me now are annoyed and want to eliminate Trevor at the end of the game but the other part wants me to keep the 3 of them together. They are the three musketeers of the game with the craziness. However back to what I was saying about Trevor. I've also noticed Trevor is always seems to be either drunk, raging or picking a fight with some random dude at the odd times and I wish you guys could see my reaction to Trevor's stupidity sometimes. Trust me I have my comments with him all the time. I always have to make an account to some of the crazy stuff he does. 

               Another moment is Trevor saying my name is Trevor moment and it was pretty funny. He can be a pain in the butt but also hilarious at certain times of the game. It is very hard now with him being a pain and hilarious how I wanna end the game this time around as this is my second go around with the game, I'm not totally sure. However those are the best moments on the game thus far and I had to share with you guys what has been going on in the game, game wise and hopefully I can do this again soon in the very near by future. Let me know which option you guys would like see me do, Do away with Micheal or do away with Trevor at the end of the game and most popular answer I will do for sure. I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Feeling Frustrated With YouTube...

              As you know, we had an issue with our former Channel hijacked and inappropriate videos uploaded to that channel. Now mind you we had the channel down and when it was Hijacked, it was reactivated apparently and someone uploaded inappropriate videos to it getting the channel permanently terminated which means, we cannot make a new channel now and we've not been active on the platform since deactivating the channel or scheduling it for deletion. So today, I've reached out to Team YouTube and they wanted to take this to DM and asked for me to follow and let em know it's done. It's now a little over an hour and nothing. Not a message back whatsoever. Starting to feel like they just do not care about their creators and really discouraged with the platform and that I have made the right move with no longer making videos on their platform. Me retiring was absolutely the right move that I made in 2016. I have no regrets whatsoever walking away from the platform. 

             This is why myself and the team decided to stick to our small but dedicated Facebook community where you guys have supported us non stop recently and we are thankful for your continuous support over the last almost year as we are reaching our 1 year anniversary with our Facebook page. So we can manage even without being on the platform. We have managed the last 4 years on our own and honestly we have done well. We continued to grow up to end of 2018 when we started to lose followers but the loyal followers stayed. We will manage without YouTube, we have and I am staying positive throughout this situation. As for the platform, I am very much happy where we are and I am sticking to my gut instinct on this. I enjoyed my time with the platform and still watch my favorite content creators on my spare time but as for us that chapter for us has now closed.

Will I Get Neon Abyss Video Game?

              I know about a month ago I did a first look at the game Neon Abyss and I know I said I was gonna get it but haven't gotten it as of yet. I had to do upgrades to the studio which is a lot more important right now however this fall I will be getting it, just the matter of a money matter and the game actually is about 22 dollars Canadian which is not too bad to be honest and you know what as I type this post. Also the DLC looks really cool and I may as well just get that too as it is $2.29 so it is definitely sounding like its a go and I do still got a bit of money on my Steam account and I cannot wait to even dig into Neon Abyss. Actually I played the demo one last time and I got to the end of the demo as I had a really good build so that sold me to getting this game and I definitely want to play it. However, the issue is I have other games right now I am playing and trying to beat but I would like to play a new game. With the time I have, yea I could do it and mix things up. 

             I think it will come down to me saving up and I know it's not much but like I said, I'm trying to save up the money as much as possible especially when this pandemic is over, I will not have to worry about money but that is besides the point. However I am excited to actually dig right into the game and get into a new game and dig into it. I really meant what I said I really want to dig into neon Abyss as I said it is like Spelunky and also partially like The Binding of Isaac. Either way I will get it this fall, September but depends on the money situation as I am in a bit of a saving spree right now. I promise when I play many hours of the game, to do an in depth post on what I think and how I am progressing as that is what I have been doing with video games. I might start doing weekly gaming update posts on how I have done  so far as I do have updates and maybe Wednesdays I will make it my Gaming updates for the week which is good to have content. I will get this soon and stay tuned for more updates coming to the blog here!

Communication is Key!

              We had an issue with this account recently and we assure you Chris has given me access to posting and answering emails and Twitter Messages for the day as this is the second day he is off, due to personal reasons. Now to the post: Chris has graciously asked me to do this post as things have gotten very serious with ChrisBOnTheWeb and communication is definitely key.  You have to keep on communicating with your team members and do feel free to ask for help at sometimes and he's actually asked for help so there is a good primary example. No communication ends up a total mess and trust me ChrisBOnTheWeb has been there before and we're stronger then ever. Also leadership in the team situation helps a ton too when it comes to communication and strong leadership to what has to be done or what  is to be done so to speak and I feel like that has been a key factor. Friendships and family communicating is also important when it comes to trying to communicate things with your family whatever it may be.

               Communication is so important, especially when it comes into the business sense especially however communication is the up most important and even boss man admits it too, it is very, very important! To wrap up this post I want to apologize but we are swamped with work but hope this helps a bit and Chris and I were talking about this a bit and not communicating is bad and he knows from experience with previous team he had at one point and most recently with Larry with the issue of the tech issues and definitely there was no communication that night but it is what it is. Communication issues are fixable if both sides of the party want to fix the communication issues. It takes more then one to tango or in this case more then one to fix the problem. Anyways this is my post, hope you liked it, it wasn't much let us know if you have anything else you would like us to cover on the blog in the comments or private message us on FB, Twitter and Instagram and let us know.
