Would I Take A Break From A Podcast Series After Entertainment Man Podcast?

              Now this is a topic I would not even worry about right now. I am in the middle of this current podcast and not worrying about it ending but you guys have asked me this question from numerous of you guys. So anyways yes I would more then likely take a break from a podcast series of some sort. I would need time to figure out what I would like to do next for a podcast on my list and trust me it wouldn't be Reality TV but I could TV related but again I would need sometime to think about things while on my little hiatus but again this will take sometime for me to decide. As you know I have been podcasting non stop with a mini break throughout the summer this year but I mean this would be a longer break like 6 months to a year without a podcast series to do but depends how I feel and how long this podcast goes for too. Again it comes down to how long it will run and really right now I am not really worried about the future. 


              At this point I am in a good place with this podcast and as long as I got ideas to share with you guys that is what matters. Who knows how long this podcast will run, it could be the same length as Everything About Reality TV was, it could be shorter. However I am thinking long term on somethin, could be on my own could be with someone that is with management here and yes I am hinting something entirely. You guys will see eventually. Right now, I am focusing on the projects currently and I ensure you I do not wanna make too many changes too fast as you guys do not want to be too overwhelmed. Anyways that is today's post and I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you in tomorrow's weekly update post.

Instagram Changed Some Settings!

              Instagram finally did something about the unwanted private messages that you get from people sending you inappropriate links or messages which I have been getting a lot lately. Twitter hasn't been bad at all really and I did open up DM's to everyone but I recently closed it as I wanna take things a little differently with business side of what I do and anything to do with guest appearances on podcasts or sponsorship opportunities I want done through the email most of the time. However for Instagram to make these changes which I never saw about a week ago, so it really must of been the update recently on my IPhone7 and why I am now seeing this very setting. So soon as I saw this immediately I turned off messages from anyone that doesn't follow me. If anyone outside need to get in touch they can follow me or use the email within my website if it is really important and related to my content but enough was enough with the random people adding me to random groups for no apparent reason and the inappropriate links and what not and trolls. I am so happy with this change and it will bring down the amount of spam I get on Instagram especially.


               So, Instagram you definitely did the right thing adding this feature to the website or the app depends how you use it and I actually use both. I use the App when I am away from the computer and studio most of the time.  When I am here in the studio it's the Instagram on the computer via the website. Anyways this was a long time coming for them to make the changes and I am really happy they did it. So that is my post and you can tell I am excited because I am, I am very much excited that they have made these adjustments and I wish I could of mentioned this idea to them but it is hard to get in touch with them, yet it is tough to get in touch as Facebook now owns and operates Instagram as well. Wish there was a way to recommend that feature.

Why Did I Pre-Record 2 Episodes of Entertainment Man Podcast?

               There is a really easy explanation and I will not talk a lot about it and maybe no second paragraph but anyways as you guys know, I have been trying to work on Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and that is why back on Sunday I did a double recording session and edited within an entire fill 2 days to ensure it is ready to go for the next 2 Sundays. This also is good so I can focus on the Collaboration Podcast and I have made some progress with it and an update is coming soon as I said on my social media. I will have updates hopefully very soon. I think pre-recording is a great idea so I can finally focus on the project with Larry and I and finally get the next collaboration Podcast off the ground as it has been sitting on my inbox for weeks now and finally getting to it and it will probably take me a week and a half little more so to finish and like I said announcement is coming! 


               So that is the main reason why it will not sound as fresh as it normally does but the enthusiasm and excitement in my voice and you will see when it goes up over the next 2 weekends. I am excited for you guys to hear it and I cannot wait to record the collaboration podcast. A lot of great things are coming for me and it is all slowly coming together very slowly. I am not one to give up and I am going to remain positive and put my effort in getting caught up with the workload and work on the next project and what not. So that is the reason behind the podcast being pre-recorded ahead of time and it is really nice to get ahead of schedule a bit and be ready for the next step.

I Am Hooked On Spelunky 2 and PGATour2k21!

                I admit I am addicted to the games I mentioned in the title of the blog today and I am really addicted to it. I wanna start with Spelunky 2. I know I am not very good at it and have a tenancy of dying at the very start of the game especially on my daily challenge runs which I rage so bad when it happens. However I gotta remember, new game, I have to adjust to the game and I am going to start playing with my remote if I have to.  Either way I am getting better I have made it to Caves 1-3 and I think I might of made it to 1-4 but not to the Jungle as of yet but soon enough. I am watching a playthrough from Dan Gheesling winner of Big Brother 10 and Runner Up of Big Brother 14. So I am learning from him and most of the games he plays is how I got into some of these games and he is my go to for tips and help which is always good to have that tool to help in a video game. However I am enjoying playing the game and I like it a ton better then the original Spelunky even tho I never finished the game and it is still on my list to finish on my spare time but Spelunky 2 is sooo addicting! I cannot seem to stop playing the game even during my lunch break from working on CONTENT, I am finding myself playing for an hour for the heck of it or the game I am going to talk about next.


                So with that, I wanna talk about PGATour2K21. YES a game that I once raged quit on and just stopped playing. I am now addicted to that game. Why? Because I have finally learned how to putt on the game. In the last 12 + hours I have won the qualifying round, earned my PGA Tour Card and won my first PGA Tour Tournament. I am currently also in the lead of the second tournament of my guys career so I am working hard! I cannot put the game down, I am addicted and love to play some golf. I am dominating the game and I find it too addicting and easy now. I think I will have to end up putting up the difficulty level with the game. I am actually a Level 13 or 14 now in the game and find that I am moving up in the levels quite quickly. In the end, this is two go to games I play on top of Pooligans that I play on a daily basis and enjoying playing it.

My Thanksgiving 2020!

                My Thanksgiving was sort of interesting. Most of the time was me working on podcast notes and podcasts yet alone. I worked Friday, Saturday, Sunday and half day yesterday after my manager explicitly told me to take the weekend off but I refused that recommendation of his... lmao... I do promise you guys I will day at least one day off soon just when is the question and I cannot keep going non stop but I don't find it hard to work day in, day out, I actually find it quite easy actually so it's really not that bad honestly. So the Thanksgiving Dinner side we had my Grandma, Aunt and Uncle over for dinner. We had a big Ham, Mashed Potatoes, buns, Carrots, and Corn. We did not over do the dinner really and we had olives and pickles as well which I am more a pickles kind of person actually.  I was really happy my Grandma made it whom is 95 years old and was really good to see her as I recently have been talking to her through the phone lately.


                Either way my Thanksgiving was good, I had sometime to relax and get my mind off the workload and honestly I almost thought of taking this weekend off just to enjoy it and reconvene today but you know I am the one that decided to pre-record 2 episodes ahead of time and my weekend consisted me recording and editing podcasts which I still have to finish the 2nd episode this morning. So yeah, I can hear the comments to why didn't you take the weekend off, especially on a long weekend well that is why, there was ton of work to still but least I took several hours off to spend it with a small group in my bubble. Yes we were following the rules as we are not in those 3 hot spots right now here in Ontario so I promise you guys we were safe during these holidays and we're staying within our bubble. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys in tomorrow's blog post.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Got over 2400 Views Yesterday!

             The title doesn't lie, this very website got over 2400 views and I was actually pre-recording podcasts for the next 2 weeks as I will not be available which I will get into that this week but I was freakin the heck out and you will hear it over the next weeks the reaction it was very raw and real feeling and I am still excited even the next day that excitement hasn't died down. However it really put a big smile on my face and it don't matter if we have a chat or not which I will have to erase that part off the podcast as that is now irrelevant to the content on that podcast which that is what I will be doing that today. However I do not think it had anything to do with the chat these views that went up, it was the other content. 29 views for the chat technically so it was definitely nothing to do with the chat. I looked at the analytics and I think it was mainly the front page that had the views but either way I am happy.


             In the end I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for the amazing support despite the rough year this year that we have had but I promise you my team and I have it all under control and if you have any comments or concerns to hit me up on social media, myself. Billy, Tiala or Charlotte will be happy to address it. At the rate this website is going it will hit 200k sometime next year and I will be thrilled to do another post but I think I wanna wait till the 500k mark or even at this rate the 1M (1 Million view mark) but patience is a virtue to be honest. We do not need a chat cause every time I've had a chat, it got removed or delisted so you know what it's not worth the stress and I will find another way to bring content and more views to this website and if there is a way there is a will that's for sure. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this post and thank you for love and support and I will see you tomorrows post.

Weekly Updates For [10-11-2020]

              I changed the title of this post just because I am entirely solo now with the help of 3 people, Charlotte, Tiala and Billy we're going to make this even more a big success especially after a situation last night which I will not talk about but I know in the end I made the right decision to stay on the solo path and I couldn't be any happier. Now as my announcement said I am still collaborating with my partner in snow crime as I call him, Larry aka the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and also Entertainment Man Podcast my personal podcast is still up and running.  So I will also update you on some of the remaining team (CBOTW) Tiala and along with Charlotte will maintaining the Facebook Page and Charlotte will be the Head Mod here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com starting Tuesday Morning at 9 am EST when the chat will come out of broadcast mode as you probably noticed the chat page reappeared and has been up nearly 24 hours and outstanding amount of views both on the Chat Community and not only the chat community but the site itself has over 300 views so I can see the difference. Removing the chat community I added to this website really brought the viewers down. This brings more people on and they tend to stay on my website more cause of more content. 


             Now that the website and Management and Moderation Team have been announced as you know Entertainment Man Podcast is going nowhere to be honest and same goes with Power Rangers Podcast that is going nowhere with the odd Collaboration Podcast here and there as well this is a new beginning and I am not reversing anything or changing anything moving forward. I am planning to continue to grow my community as an individual but I got two great teams that are there to help me right through all the tough times and decisions that have to be made. I promise to not add anymore podcasts at this moment and just work with what I have as I do not want to overwhelm myself. I know this is kind of out of the norm to what I normally do on a weekly update but I kind of like doing this format from time to time and it is nice to switch it up honestly and maybe I will do that.

Will Be Trying PGA Tour 2k21 Again Eventually!

                As you know by a post from a former Staff member of mine which he isn't going to help me anymore as I am no longer speaking to them at this moment which I will not get into details about that. I am going to try PGATour2K21 again and I think I know what I am doing wrong. I think I am not setting the point where I wanna hit the ball. I am just not aiming to the right spot whatsoever to where the ball is suppose to go and that could of definitely one of my downfalls. Another thing is I get too flustered with the game and I mean very flustered with it and I get so mad at the game I end up rage quitting at the end and leaving it for a long time. I wanna try and do well and don't get me wrong I have been in the minus above even so to speak in Golf language. However I am glad I didn't get a refund as I played more then 2 hours so it kind of worked out in the end and I can give this game another shot just like another certain video game that I mean, cough, cough "Spelunky 2" hahaha! 


               Anyways I will have a review eventually soon give me till November before I decide to do an review on the game, I wanna take the time and really dig into this game and actually see if I can win a tournament which has yet to happen but I was up there at one point but totally fell apart. However I am starting fresh and to be honest I am not really sure if it is still there the progress that I have made since I deleted or uninstalled the game from my computer so I would have to reinstall it to find out really if my progress is saved as recently been having some technical issues with games and with me having some time off, I will be able to fix the game and actually play a bit as this weekend is Thanksgiving up here in the great white north. So I wish you fellow Canadians a Happy Thanksgiving and I promise you guys I will tell you guys what I did on Tuesdays post but in the meantime I will see you guys in tomorrow's post which sounds weird to say as I normally do not do posts on Sundays! LOL.

The Blogging Schedule Moving Forward!

               There is plenty to expose with the planning of my now solo career with CBOTW I have gone ahead and decided to let you guys know the schedule for our blogs. I am not changing much in the way of posts but it will be mainly be me unless I ask Billy or Larry wants to do a blog post for the website but most part it is me. You guys will start hearing from me 7 days a week, 365 days a year here on the website I am going nowhere. I got complete control over CBOTW and happy with Billy as my Manager and Tiala my Fan Page Moderator. Anyways here is the timetable for the Blog for each and every week:

Sundays: Weekly Update Blog

Mondays - Fridays: Regular Topics

Saturdays: Weight Loss Updates

 

               There is the schedule and like I said nothing is changing in the schedule it will be the same and I assure you myself and my management team is not going to be changing anything anytime soon. I also would like to add that I just do not wanna make too many changes too soon and this is more then likely the last change that I am going to make right now and just build with what I have right now and trust me things are really going strong for me. Got 2 great podcasts and a great blog which now is very active at this point when it comes to posts. This is a fresh start and honestly I wish I thought of this sooner then usual. Anyways the weight loss update will be starting next week so I will have a different post tomorrow and this schedule will be starting on Sunday morning at 11 am EST and the time will not be changing whatsoever. I will see you guys on tomorrow's post.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Changes!

              I know it's not Sunday nor it's not my manager doing an update post. There is changes to the system we use to have. As you know by now with that announcement that I have gone solo on my own but still have Tiala and also Billy to help out as Moderator and Manager for me but most part no podcasts from other individuals, the projects is mainly me. So with what I have said here are the additional changes that I have made to the website since the changes with the social media:

Website Chat: Since it will hard to continually be active on the website chat on a regular basis and Jim no longer part of the team anymore the desire to have a chat on our website is a lot lower then I wanted it. 

Staff Page: Since there is hardly a team anymore, I've also done away with the staff page but if you wanna know Tiala is a Moderator for my Fan Page and Billy is a Manager for me. You will see him make posts from time to time if I need him too but like I said I am on my own but have help to make sure the trolls are at bay at all times.

Menu Bar and Pages: The menu bar has been tweaked again and pages have been removed from the website, community chat, staff have been removed, CBOTW Gamers Podcast has been removed as well as the RSS feed for that podcast. 


                   So those are the updates and there are a lot of updates to my website and also social and that one RSS feed is now no longer existing. I feel good to still have a Moderator and a Manager and I do not wanna make anymore changes and just go with the flow of things. I am sticking to my word with this and not going to turn back to the old method of having a team at one point. I am keeping it and nobody can change as it is my decision and my decision only and at least it is a ton less stress on my hands and happy in the end. I think it was long coming to these changes and it was definitely time.

Don't Know Why TheDirector015 Isn't Also Banned On YouTube....

            As you guys know we're currently banned from the YouTube platform since I really messed up telling one of my ex staff to get it banned which I will get into but what surprises me is why the heck YouTube still has my other channel is still around. I mean you would think they would realize its the same owner of the channel but I guess this really gives me a chance to download and don't think that I'm not going to get the account banned because I will be getting it removed off their website once all the content is downloaded and put onto an external hard drive and I do not want that other account on YouTube as it has become part of my past being on YouTube and now my future is Blogging and Podcasts and growing this website from the ground up and we have been doing that and work so hard on a regular basis. I just want our old YouTube channel gone down the road. Actually I got our Community Manager to start downloading the videos and transferring it to me to store away. 


             I do have a plan with those videos involving a DVD version of the episodes.  That is later though but I want anything to do with our past erased from YouTube as we're now moving onto bigger and better things. However I haven't spoken much about why and i honestly do not even know why as I'm surprised that they haven't even remotely noticed that a similar account but I will work hard to get it removed from the platform. Plus the fact it is currently unused and abandoned.  I wish I knew why they have kept that channel but in time it will be gone and a mere thing of the past as myself and the team are very much happier where we are but it don't really explain why it still exists but who knows. That will be worked on later when it is time to get it removed from their website.

Spelunky 2 Video Game Review!

                    I recently purchased on Steam for $20.51 which it was on sale with 5 or 10% off on the game.  I play for a bit in the mornings when I first get up every morning and play and I really suck at it to be honest but I am not giving up that easily and I have made some progress on the game and I almost made it out of the Caves once but ended up dying. The one thing I don't like are those yellow guys that roll up in a ball and try to run you down it is very annoying but I found if I throw a bomb at the enemy on the game, it helps a lot with the game in the end. Also the spiders and the bats are a pain as well but less the issue. I notice they have these things that can pound you and has been a problem.  Today's daily challenge I didn't last more then a minute and I was dead. So now I have to wait till tomorrow to play yet another daily.  However I like this game and enjoying it a lot more then Spelunky 1, the original game. There is a lot of work ahead of me and I am sure I will get to it one of these days. I am enjoying it and I plan on playing a little bit per day.


                   I still give this game a 10 out of 10 as it is such an amazing game. Yes I may suck at the game but I have been watching Dan on YouTube since it came out on PlayStation and I love the graphics on the game  and it is soooo good! I am so eager to play a lot of hours with this game and maybe I should trying using my remote and probably make a difference and I have used it with Spelunky the original game and it has helped me out really. It has made a difference with the game and I think it gives me a lot more control with the movement. Keyboard is not as good as I thought and I really wanna start using my Logitech remote control for video games.  Anyways I enjoy the game and enjoy playing it and I'm sure on weekends I will be playing it a ton more as I take off weekends from the day to day operations.

I'm Back and Changing My Routine A Bit!

            Well I'm back to running the day to day operations and me being the Owner once again. Now I know what you guys will say you need to take time off for myself and honestly things are going to change moving forward. On weekends, I am doing nothing regards to ChrisBOnTheWeb on weekends and why Jim our Community Manager will be keeping an eye on things answer social media questions and email inquires over the weekends so this way I can relax a bit more and take weekends off. Only time I'd work on a Sunday is if I recorded Power Rangers Podcast episodes and he is here in the studio but recently with CoVid-19 we're currently recording via Skype during the week at this time. However that is besides the point really. Also if it really comes down workload I will work the occasional weekends but I am not going to push the envelope as that is one of the reasons why I took 2 weeks away from the day to day operations of the website and group. Not only that but the trolls started to get to me and disrespect towards my staff and people being rude in general. 


            Either way I am very happy to be back to the day to day operations and being able to talk to you guys without not saying much minus a couple of posts on social media post and the one blog post that I did recently. That kind of helped me make that decision to return to ChrisBOnTheWeb and I am glad I did. I am really happy that I made that decision to come back sooner then I thought. I honestly thought it would of been a month before I returned to CBOTW and I really have been struggling to decide to come back but now is most definitely the time to make the return to ChrisBOnTheWeb. Now is the time for me to make the move to continue to grow this thing and I honestly it has even with me away from the day to day operations handed to Jim things progressed well under his leadership. However I am back and that is what matters. I am not going to push myself too much in the first. I do not wanna have a relapse of being stress and already started to stress myself out entirely but I am taking my time one thing at a time and my main focus this week is to get that darn Wild Force that is not even remotely near finished. I may have to work one or two weekends to get these notes as I plan on recording the following weekend after our Canadian Thanksgiving but we'll see how I do this week.
