Made Some Decisions With Events..

            I just completed the events list for this year and I had to take out 2 events for this year as I felt like it wasn't a fit for this year. Trust me the decision isn't  easy to make whatsoever but it had to be done and I know some people will not be happy but I am doing what is best for me and Chris B On The Web at this point. Here are the 2 events, I pulled out of for this year:


  • Peony Festival (Locally Here In My Hometown)- Since it lands on Father's Day this year, it will not be a fit into the schedule as I wanna spend time with my dad and is more important, however we could slip it in but I really rather spend time with my dad, as it is more important. Honestly my dad is getting older and I wanna spend as much time with him as possible and there is plenty of other events out there throughout this year to go to.
  • Autism Celebration (Also Locally Here)- Last year I felt like there wasn't a great turnout and I just had a really hard time deciding but I have decided to move on from this event. Don't get me wrong, I loved going to the event each and every year but I wasn't too pleased with the turnout. Now if Kerry's Place emails me about it then I could possibly go but right now there is no plans to go to the event this year but like I said if there is high request for me to return, I can put it on the schedule but I need to hear it from you guys first. 

            That is the two events I am not going to as I said this was really hard decision to make in the way of events that will not work for me this year. I do not like making decisions like this but again I need to do what is best for me and CBOTW.  I am being honest how I really feel on this. Sometimes it is best to just move on and I think that is what I need to do. What is the plan for the future? I am already ahead of my schedule by printing off 25 copies and putting it into a package to hand out publicly eye, especially people start chatting with me as well, this is a great way to get it out there is by the word of mouth. I wanna have 2 different ways of promoting CBOTW and the two ways is by going 1) to events locally and in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area and 2) by promoting it out in the public eye. I am taking a different direction this year and hopefully this will indeed help me in the long run of getting known but I think I have gotten well known this year. You never know, people could recognize me in the public and end up chatting with you guys. If you see me publicly here in Ontario, do not be afraid to say hi. As for the events, I am happy with the decision  I think the lineup I have which you will find out on Tuesday's blog post to what is the final decision on the events.

Trying A Star Wars Mod For Minecraft!

            While spending time with my niece and nephew we discovered  mod for Minecraft called Tatooine. Now what is Tatooine? It is  a planet where Luke Skywalker and also Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars movies. Now mind you I just started this world and there is so much more to discover but it is cool as I found green and blue crystals to make  a light saber. I haven't gotten this far and I need to start building a home for myself, get a sustainable food source in the game in order to go under the ground and get the items I need to make a lightsaber and a proper pick axe.  Pretty much I am back to the basics right now. I really wouldn't know what the different kinds of ores and stuff I would find underground but I suspect it is indeed the same, maybe some different ores too but I will find out when I decide to start digging down. I do not plan on making a overly big mansion as I do not know how long I am going to play this game as I am planning a different kind of world down the road as well.


          The difference in this world there are sheep that are a very odd color but still have the usual bah from them and there is normal sheep for building a bed too which is cool. There is this creature I fought and it wasn't as easy as I thought as I died but came back and killed it. The zombies were neat as they sound like the Tuskin Raiders from the movie itself. I haven't ran into or seen creepers or skelton's yet so I cannot tell you what they look like. Also there are just random people like villager like people just walking around the entire world which is cool. Yes I mentioned green and blue crystals which can be found basically on the ground anywhere in the world and like I said it is used for lightsabers.  Either way or, I am excited to play this mini mod to get into playing modded minecraft a  bit but this is only temporary as I am getting ready to do a  modded world with a space age mod which will indeed take some time to get prepared for space but least I got a world to play for now but I do not think it will be a long playthrough of this mod as I am not sure what I can outside of what I know but I know in time I will figure it out but the long game, I am planning on the space mod but this is just the start for me.

What Shows Am I Binge Watching Right Now?

            You probably didn't know this much but right now I am binge watching Malcolm in the Middle. Right now I am currently in the 5th season out of 7 seasons. I will be going between that and Power Rangers In Space which needs to be done as well. I wanna start Malcolm In The Middle, I haven't watched this show since it went off the air in 2006 which is like almost 12 years ago since the show went off the air. I love this show as it is just a dysfunctional family during each and every episode. I have had my comments at Lois while watching the show. I remember this show during my high school years, I watched it on top of the Simpsons and King of The Hill as well.  I find it hard to not laugh at moment's during the show.  Since starting to watch the show I have remembered a bunch of the episodes but again remember it has been a very long time since I have watched the show but it is nice to get back into this show again and it gives me something to do on my spare time between all this work I have put into CBOTW.


             Also between Malcolm The Middle, I am going to start watching Power Rangers In Space as the collaboration podcast will have to come back so I am going to be preparing before Big Brother Canada  Even during Big Brother Canada when the feeds are down I will most definitely watch episodes in order to get it done. So I will be able to get it done between the feeds being down. So I will be going between the two shows and if I finish Malcolm In The Middle which I am now half way through the season now, I have Power Rangers In Space to work on. After Power Rangers In Space, I do plan on starting Lost Galaxy and preparing for the next phase of things. One way or another there is always something to watch one way or another and I am always continue to be very busy person no matter what is thrown in front of me and that is fine with me.

The Day I Took On The Ender Dragon (Throwback Thursday Story)

            2 years ago after a very long time coming in trying to beat the ender dragon and I did the unthinkable and actually beat it. How did I manage to beat it? I will tell the story how this all went down. So this was after I walked away from Twitch, I finished up the spawner which was already underway when my regulars want to start trouble but I managed to finish up the spawner which I needed the levels in order to get good armor but a good friend @stephan889 on Twitter told me I didn't need too overly strong armor but I still had diamond armor that had high level armor which now can be found in the storage facility in the world which is behind glass now. However I needed to find the portal which was a tough task at hand and yes I used the ender pearls or eyes of the ender. However I decided to go out digging and I came across a cave out of nowhere. I look up to find a library, a random library. So i dug up a stairwell to go up, I took all the books obviously. So I started to look around to finally found the portal. So obviously I traveled back to the house, the manor which is still in existence just had some renovations done to the house. So I went back to start killing the Endermen in the game to get pearls from them in order to get eye of the ender. Also I realized I needed to go to the Nether to get the blaze rods that makes blaze powder so all the baby steps to get to the end. I got the eye of the ender to put in the portal. I believe 14 of them to be exact. I place it in and I went into the game to see what was was I was of the end of the ground as I fell out of the world, so I went back and built a stairwell to go up. 


           When I had the right gear, weapons, tools to beating the ender dragon, I went into the end and I was on my way. I had to hit the towers first obviously. Once I did that I was able to attack the Ender Dragon which took a very long time ducking away from the endermen that were creeping around. I got down to the final seconds and I took a shot at the dragon but it came at me and I either shot an arrow or struck it down with the sword. I can remember hearing the crackling sound from it and the amount of XP I was getting from the destruction of the Ender Dragon. Yes I defeated it first try and I was quite excited and you can imagine the Let's Go's that came out of my mouth. After I made a  monument in the storage facility as I said before with a stand for the gear I wore in the way of armor and almost made a frame for the sword and Bow. Also thanks to Dark, he helped me create that stand and the flag colors of CBOTW. I sometimes go back into the old world and reminisce on the memories I have created but I am now more committed to other games right nowbut I am proud I not only beat the Ender Dragon but Dark and I beat the Wither so we beat everything in Vanilla Minecraft and maybe one day I'll do a modded Minecraft.

Favorite Dishes To Cook....

              There are tons of dishes I have done well and in today's post I am going to highlight the dishes that I think I have mastered finally. Don't get me wrong, I am planning to cook other things but right now, I am focusing on the present dishes I have done but I will address the other dishes I would like to at the end of today's blog post.


1) Fettuccine Alfredo, with either Chicken or shrimp: I have I think at this point, mastered this dish, it tastes even better each and every time. It does take some time to master the recipe but I am indeed a fast learner.

2) Spaghetti, Such an easy dish, warm up the sauce my mom pre-made which mind you I am going to learn the sauce recipe which yes it takes several hours to make as we do a no meat sauce and a meat sauce.

3) I am the king of cooking chicken now as I am able to cook the meat right through. Apparently I have a knack to cooking it. I think I do about 2 - 2.5 minutes per side and rotate it at least 3 times enough for it to be white in the middle not pink.

4) Meatloaf- Learned different types of meatloaf recipes, turkey loaf, chicken meatloaf and of course the traditional beef meatloaf but I know how to make it very easily. 

5) Burgers or Sliders- I was antsy with cooking burger seeing the red meat inside I can just hear Chef Ramsey's  saying "IT'S RAAAW!" haha But it turned out very well either way or.


                There is the dishes I can cook and there is tons more but again, I cannot list everything as this blog post would be endless post. I can give some honorable mentions like I learned how to roast a turkey, same with a whole chicken. Also how to cook a pork tenderloin on a BBQ. I am getting quite handy at the stove or the BBQ and there is plenty of dishes that I want to cook such as Carbonara, Risotto, my moms Spaghetti Sauce, the list is quite hefty and long and I cannot remember everything from the top of my head but I am looking forward to getting into more cooking once this cold of mine subsides and finally goes the heck away as of right now I am still dealing with a bit of a cough and rather wait to cook then cough all over the food but that is besides the point of today's post.

Some Platforms I Use To Broadcast On!

          I know this is going way back in the early years of being doing online media but I thought I would go through each and every platform. There are platforms that aren't around anymore unfortunately as they closed their sites down. I am going to go through the major platforms I broadcasted on mainly, not the ones that I lasted a short time.


          I started on Stickam.com in 2010 on and off up to August 2012 when I subsequently left the platform after dealing with some drama. Then I moved over between to BlogTV.com before moving back to Stickam in 2012. Then I took a small break from broadcasting I think between 2013 and 2014, however I know I signed up with Vaughn Live but didn't broadcast much as I didn't know what I was doing as of yet. I believe I moved over to Justin.tv which was closed down to focus on Twitch but I spent a ton of time on Justin TV platform which I moved on as I ended up being banned from unfortunately due to me constantly spamming their chat due to a disagreement.  I did broadcast on the platform (Vaughn) but was a very short time when I broadcasted on there before getting myself banned from the platform. Then I did broadcast on another 2 platforms, however was banned. So I took some months off from broadcasting before I started to become a loyal to another platform which was Twitch. I started on there in 2016, summer to be exact, probably July is when I started and lasted into September when I stopped broadcasting due to trolls name calling, even after I banned and reported them, they kept on coming back. I tried to make a comeback in 2018 and just recently but decided to stop broadcasting all together to focus on the podcasts you guys get every week. Oh I should note when Everything About Reality TV Podcast was live I did broadcast on YouTube as well.


             So the question you probably wondering, am I retired from broadcasting for good? The answer is yes, I have decided to stop casting or streaming some of you guys call it due to the fact I want to focus on Everything About Reality TV and the collaboration podcasts as well. I want my full attention on the podcasts right now, I wanna make sure to give you guys the best podcast I can give you guys. Broadcasting was fun but in the end, it is an end of an era for me but I will always have fond memories of the people I met on the platforms over the years, I am quite happy with the quiet life I am living, well from to time it isn't quiet, it becomes quite hectic but use to it.

Chris B On The Web Re-Building Phase Is Ending In June!

             After almost 3 years, I can say after such a long, long battle with trying to re-build Chris B On The Web, the re-building phase is going to be over. What do I mean by this? I can say I have successfully completed the rebuild from when I left YouTube all together, I was stuck for a good year, year and a half trying to figure out what on earth I am going to do with myself now that YouTube is over, done, finished since my team decided to screw me over. Yes I am still bitter over a few people that screwed me over but over the year and a half, two years I did forgive 1 of the 3 people as I could never stay made at Larry. Look at the two of us now, the friendship has been so much stronger then before. Anyways as you know, I took the summer off to start figuring things out and Everything About Reality TV, well the rest is history, the podcast has become history. Then of course Larry and I added on the collaboration podcasts aka the Power Rangers Podcast which has become so popular on the website alone. After the podcasts have become the success the last thing that I had to do is stabilize the site and I couldn't have moved forward without making the move off of the provider which will not be named as my website kept on getting falsely taken down for no reason. I have had so many issues in the past with them so that is why I had no .com for 5 months as 1 I had to let the domain expire entirely and I had to let it become available elsewhere and of course the website has returned and I know that is the last final steps to fixing it, well minus getting the collabs back up and update it but you know what I mean.


               It has been a long time coming for the rebuild to end and I have been holding on to this piece of information for a long time now. I have been thinking about it for months to when this piece of information noone knew about this just me. I am actually am happy the fact that this rebuild is ending on June 25th, 2019, that is the date I am taking it off all this testing I have been doing for the past 3 years. I know it took me a long time but patience is indeed a virtue and I have been excited for this moment to take Chris B On The Web officially off the rebuilding stages and continuing this adventure.
