ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [01-23-2021]

           There has been so much that has happened recently with Discord returning and then disappearing once again to The CBOTW Show... I will get into it all in today's post:

Discord: It has been a problem for a while and we got some information that someone who was staff'd with us got into Chris's account and deleted it. We did a new one but since have deleted it due to troll issues again and it wasn't worth the stress. 

The CBOTW Show: It was a ton of work to just prepare it and now we have a newer plan with it and I will get into it all as I continue on with this post and he was on the right track originally and maybe we took a step in the wrong way.

Website: Menu went back to the 2021 version of this website which is a ton better and it works a ton better then the older version and seems to be a more responsive menu as we've had fans mention that it is not as responsive. So that is one of the reasons but now that The CBOTW Show is now out of the picture, we put a reverse on this.

YouTube:  As you guys have heard, we have a YouTube Channel for the Podcasts which you can find at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEF7C4tRWCW8ubJF_gcIgdQ for the video side of things. Today it starts on the YouTube and two old episodes of Entertainment Man Podcast from Season 2 are up.

Power Rangers Podcast: This morning, Chris has made it clear that production for this podcast is indeed put on Hold for recording till he figures out if he has a Co-Host or not and that will be this week's battle to figure out what is going to happen next for the podcast. Just hope production does resume as I know he wants it back and Larry does too. but Chris said he will be working on the Collaboration Podcast and stuff but as for recording not as much.

                 There are the updates for this week and I hope you guys enjoyed this post and hopefully some better news will come next week, so please do have a wonderful week and I will talk to you guys next weekend with another update.

Favorite Memories of College....

                 Since it has been nearly 9 years since I left college now, I thought now would be the most appropriate time to step up and do this post about my favorite moments in College and to be honest, I do not think I did a post and I cannot remember if I did out of the 1200 + posts that have been done. However here are some of my most favorite moments in no logical order:

Riot Radio: Was an honor to be a part of the Campus Radio Station was one of the first visual radio stations I guess out of College Radio Stations in the country or even Ontario but I forget. I remember when I ended up awfully sick with barely a voice but I managed through a really rough show. This was also the early inspiration for what I am doing now, podcasting and having a passion for being behind the microphone and a lot has come back to me the do's and don't which I could do a podcast on technically. 

Working Out In The Gym/Basketball: We had this thing were we got to go to the gym and shoot some hoops in the gym. I never got to work out on the machines upstairs during my time in College.

Dinner At the Campus Pub: I had dinner with my fellow classmates and other students on the campus and I got to try fried pickles which honestly was delicious! I really enjoyed it and the first time I have had it.

Ridgebacks Hockey Game: For those who didn't know, my college I attended also had an university on the campus as the College and once again I got the honor to see a Ridgebacks hockey game which University hockey is very exciting to watch.

                    There is my list and I am sure there are other moments on campus I can mention such as several videos were made for my YouTube Channel, including an interview with Justin, Larry and the rest of them which was amazing really, I had fun doing it in the process.

Video Game Updates [01-22-2021]

              I have a few updates with video games to update you guys on and there is a few on the list. So I have played some games between recording the site and what not and without further ado here are the updates:

The Sims 4: After the Sims 4 corrupted on me, now it is is actually re installed everything seems to be working and nothing was really affected by the game, meaning the files with Sims seem to be fine so I have no clue what is going on honestly.

Surgeon Simulator: I got the game but didn't last more then a minute as I found it really difficult to pass so I said the heck with it and I got my 10 bucks back for the game as I thought it wasn't worth the money honestly. 

Spelunky 2: As for Spelunky 2, I've gotten to 1-4 on the game but the big guy that rolls around got me and the part that is really getting me more and more frustrated with the game moving forward and I have considered quitting and stopping it completely for a while but that is no me, I wanna keep going and trying to beat the game all together. 

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth: I have gotten back to Isaac and apparently have started to dominate the game and been playing with Azazel a bit more and I ended up getting one of my favorite items Ipecac and I thought this item wasn't a thing in this game. Hey I guess I got it now.

             There are the updates and I will do another update when I see it fits as I hardly have had time to play videos games right now and I guess work is my priority and I am sure in time I will end up having more time for video games but right now it just not the time nor place. I hope you guys enjoyed this update and I will see you guys in tomorrow's post!

Will There Be An The Entertainment Man Talk Show Reunion Tour?

               I know I've been editing all the old videos lately while in Isolation from the world during this pandemic and I have had time to think and I'd like to do a Reunion Tour with Eric down the road and while on our journey take a walk down memory lane but this wouldn't be for a long time and by that time, I could change my mind to be honest. However it has been many years now since we went off air and this would be a cool idea to do a walking tour and maybe I will bring the camera with me take some videos, pictures and remember the good times I once had with the team. Maybe even I could make a trip to Whitby, Ajax and just remember how much fun the series was. It could even be done here in the house remember where the series was majority of Season 3, 4, 5 and 6 was filmed at. We may have not gone too far on this series but it will be nice to walk where we filmed and just remember and talk about it. I wanna do the videos as part of the content for Facebook and IGTV just for you guys and it is an opportunity knocking. 

                 However remember that we are still in a pandemic and it will be quite sometime until things get back to normal and see friends in person as there is no way for me to get in or out of my area as it is on demand service and I totally refuse to actually take it as the bus service has made me quite angry and I've blocked their fan page at this point as I asked em a question and was totally ignored but it was besides the point. Anyways I am getting quite off topic so to speak and I should get back on track with this post. During this isolation, I can start thinking about where I wanna go etc. I can also start working on how I would like to do this, the order of how I wanna do. Anyways I will not rule it out right now if I would do this but it wouldn't be just me, I'd have to do it with an alum and I haven't really asked around much. That is today's post and I hope you enjoyed this random ramblings of mine and I we will see how things are post pandemic and all I can do is plan and that is what I am doing right now.

Batman (1989) & Batman Forever (1995) Movie Review

              I been wanting to do this for a while now and a few weeks ago, I got to sit down and watch Batman and I believe that was during my down time with Christmas so that could of been when I watched the movie during the time off from CBOTW. So Michael Keaton was in this movie as Batman which mind you Michael Keaton is an great actor and not really sure if he is still acting to this day, Billy Dee Williams which we all know him from Star Wars 5 and 6 and 9 who played Lando Calrissen and he plays Two Face aka Harvey Dent in the movie which he was a great Two Face, I didn't know it was him till I looked it up after the movie. Also Kim Bassigner and Jack Nicolson who played the Joker. Now his role as the Joker, he did an amazing job as always as I have seen 3 movies with him in it which the other two is Anger Management & The Shining which I will do an review eventually here on the blog. I loved the movie and seen 3 out of the real life Batman movies. The Action of the movie was amazing. The Bat-Mobile is more high tech as you get through the movies. The movie was well put together and kept you entertain right through. I was only 3 going on 4 in 1989 technically. I admit the Bat Cave was a lot different different from the 1966 TV Batman. I would give a 10 out of 10 out of this movie and would watch it again!

               You thought that was the end of this post, huh? Well surprise! Two reviews within one post for once. So the second review as the title says I am doing a second Batman, this time I want to review is Batman Forever, which I went to see with my aunts in 1995 as I spent a day with them every week while my parents were at work during my summer off from school and we happened to go see this amazing movie. This movie has another amazing actor as Batman, George Clooney and of course the famous comedian, Jim Carrey which I am a huuuge Jim Carrey Fan and I've seen almost every movie he's done. This movie had it's serious moments and action pack with the addition of Chris O'Donnell as Robin The Boy of Wonder. However, you have in the addition to this movie some funny moments as Jim Carrey brings ins the comedic side of thing. Especially the "Riddle Me This. Riddle Me That, Who's Afraid of The Big Black Bat?" Once again I would give this movie a 10 out of 10 and I really enjoyed these movies together and watched them back to back. Hope you guys enjoyed this review and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Addressing Last Week and Updates....

              Yes I have returned to blogging and I will address that at the end of today's post. Last week was full of drama between myself and my Co-Host of Power Rangers Podcast and to be honest, now I do not know where we stand with this collab and I should of kept quiet and not say anything or send him anything this situation would of been a bit better moving forward. The reason for the server going down was because of reasons I cannot discuss at this moment. I gotta keep professional at all time during this. In this blog I am doing to discuss 2 things that are now affected by recent events and the first one is the interview and the reason of it happening was because something  happened and now there is an opening for interviews and I am working on getting an interview for the 31st at this moment and I do have someone lined up but I have to do have someone in mind right now and he is familiar to ChrisBOnTheWeb and involved with the website. He also went to High School with me and I will leave it at that and you guys will see who it is, well hear who it is. I am excited for this interview and this is the start of interviews. As for the other interview, well it's been put aside at this time. 😟

             The next part if talking about Power Rangers Collaboration and it's future.... I can say this: Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast will be tucked under Archives some point in the spring once it goes on hiatus where you guys can catch up with past episodes are done in the meantime and I will keep Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast listed in my bio for the time being while we figure out what is going to happen with this project and if it is going to go to the way side for good or it will be coming back fully. I also wanna state I will be working on future Collaboration Podcasts for that series and soon as I am done Dino Thunder, I will be moving into SPD and Mystic Force and so on in case things get better. I am trying to remain optimistic with this series will return and it is all that I can really do is stay optimistic for the hopes of a return sometime this year. As for Dino Thunder, if this situation isn't fixed anytime soon, I do have a Guest lined up in case and if it does get fixed the Guest will still come on regardless. I wanna thank, my Management Team for their help through this hard time, especially Matt who took the reigns of this blog for an entire week. I promise to try and blog a bit more as I am sure you guys missed me not being around much but I ensure you things are under control now.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [01-17-2021]

               Another week is upon us and I have a couple of updates but not too many updates even tho the last week has had it's dramatics and Boss Man quite shaken up of the recent events he's unsure about things and that's OK. As I said yesterday he's returning tomorrow and please be nice to him.  I'm sorry to sound harsh but speaking on behalf of his team, we want him in good spirits and his Mental Health better. I've said this many times, we work hard everyday on content for you guys. Anyways to the updates:

Discord: Our Discord Server has been removed once and for all, Chris had enough of the drama on there and he wasn't happy whatsoever. He decided to remove it and he's removed himself from Discord all together and using Skype and Zoom for Podcasts.

Entertainment Man Podcast: He was suppose to be interviewing Larry but cause of what I said above, that never happened and he is quite disappointed that the interview never happened and he has made a decision to reach out on his list by tomorrow and see who he can get and if he can't then what he will do an topic for you guys.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: With the recent drama I said above, this Podcast is now in limbo and those are his words exactly. I know how he is feeling and things kind of were messed up for him and this Collab and this is why he is going through with this Hiatus and he will be working on SPD, Mystic Force and beyond even if this doesn't happen whatsoever cause of the ongoing arguments between both parties, he just wants to be prepared and ready in case things get better. This goes beyond catching up notes now, it goes towards fixing things between them if this even happens down the road. The Podcast will be moved off the main menu under "Podcasts" and moved into a temporary archives while decisions are made with the future of this Collaboration Podcast.

                 That is what I had to say and I had to say my peace on all of this. I am disappointed in what has happened and the fact PR Collab has to suffer cause of a choice someone made and Chris has every right to be upset over this. He works long hours on this and he had every right to feeling the way he is feeling right now. He could be working on other projects as well on a weekly basis which he has been working on but more information coming next weekend's weekly update and until then I will talk to you all next week.

Chris Returns To Blogging Monday Finally and Updates

               Chris makes his return to blogging Monday after a week away and he needed it really as there was unnecessary drama with a former Co-Host of one of the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast so he is feeling a lot of pressure right now with the Collab. Anyways back to him returning, he will be still in the same timeslot, 11 am EST everyday as usual. Nothing is really changing from that as he has a ton of decisions to make and this upcoming week he will start making those decisions and I respect any decision as long he lets the team know of this decision that's totally fine. I know you guys will welcome him back to the blog as of Monday and he's admitted to me that he misses talking to you guys and wishes that he didn't have to walk away from the blog but we understand the fact he needs to step away from time to time and with the change it is totally understandable. I wish I knew exactly what I can tell you guys but right now he's going through tough decisions and maybe with this weekend he will have time to think things through and figure things out. 

                With him returning to a more normal schedule moving forward means he may be addressing somethings that has happened in the last week and how he feels embarrassed and of course some more positive posts and hopefully we can move forward with this and continue to grow this community. I know I sound a little harsh at times but it is frustration with what has gone on and I am not really not sure what he has planned for this week at this point as I haven't seen what is on his board but this week we find out what he has set for this week moving forward. I will be back tomorrow for the Weekly Update then back to a weekly basis.

Explaining The Coming Soon On The Website Navigation... (Finally!)

              I want to explain the entire "Menu Bar" or "Navigational Bar" finally. I want to tell you guys that this year we will be adding some old content to the ChrisBOnTheWeb.com Website OFFICIALLY. This content that we are uploading to the website some of your favorite series that Chris once did on that site called "YouTube" which he is now banned from creating as you know because of a former Staff. Anyways, we both been working on this the last 2 - 3 weeks now and been downloading all the video 300 + videos have been downloaded and will be made available on our website throughout 2021 and will be available for you guys to watch and have a blast from the past. We have separate Archive.org account just for the videos so there is no mix up with the podcasts to the videos.  The vlogs and updates that were on the former TheDirector015 will not be on there. It will be just the series the team did The Entertainment Man Talk Show, Friends of The Entertainment Man and much more. The schedule, we are looking at twice a week at this point and he is looking at Wednesdays and Fridays @ 2 pm EST.

             However right now we are working overtime on videos and downloading and editing the videos so they are ready to go so it will take sometime for us to prepare all of this great content. There will be an announcement when we start uploading up here to the website. This is why there is the coming soon and when we are ready to go that will be changed over to YouTube and will have an array of things on there. We may upload some Behind The Scenes from the Series as we have a bunch of those for 2 of the series. This is exciting stuff that Chris's own website will now house the Archives of his Former Web Series and I believe he has about 7 different series we will be releasing. Any questions to contact us on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram or the Discord. I am always in there more then Chris is majority of the time and are there to help you guys.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Printer is On It's Last Legs....

                Boss Man has told me that the printer in the  studio is on it's final legs and sounding like there will be a time he will have to indeed put money aside to get a brand new printer and something he didn't wanna really do is spend the money on something quite expensive but if that is something he needs to get then so be it. First the scanner completely stopped working which really he doesn't need technically as he rarely uses it to begin with as normally he uses the SD card reader for pictures and if he was to scan old pictures then I do not know what he would do. I am not 100% sure if you can get a printer without a scanner anymore and to be honest he rarely used the scanner and has tried to actually use it and apparently he's uninstalled the software so many times so now the scanner doesn't work so that was strike one. The second strike was installing a new ink into the printer where you have to scan a print off so you can authenticate the ink and it doesn't seem to work anymore as the scanner isn't working. 

                So he's going to have to definitely buy a new printer and will have to go shopping for a new one once the lockdown is finished and things start to open up once again and we get back into the different levels as we went from Green to Yellow-Orange to Red to the Grey level and now in complete lockdown at this moment of time to try and flatten the curve of this virus especially. Hopefully he will somehow manage to print off things for right now but not sure what will happen if it completely dies out on him as one other issue he's having is the display screen sometimes goes completely dark and he has to unplug it to work so it's slowly on it's final legs and to be quite honest, he is planning to steer away from HP despite it's been very good to him over the years. He has to remember he uses it on a regular basis and it will wear and tear on him and he has had it 5 years at the most and it is used all the time so he will have to definitely invest in a new one soon.

Update on Chris and How He is Doing

            Chris, well he's hanging in there and has been dealing with the Mental Health and his sleep has been off and still is off he sleeps in the evenings and up during the nights however the positive thing is he is sleeping full 7 - 8 hours and up around 1 or 2 in the morning. The next step for him is to actually get to bed a little later then usual and he will have that opportunity soon as he has an interview Thursday to do with Larry so opportunity is knocking to fix his sleep. However he is in good spirits right now and working hard on content and working on that new feature as that has become the bigger project and from time to time he works on Dino Thunder as well. Management Team and Discord Moderators and you guys are keeping him in good spirits right now and he makes his occasional visit to the Discord.

           He is working hard even if he has to nap he will nap to get his energy back up. I believe he's picked up the workload quite quickly and very affectively and he is nowhere near stopping as he has done an amazing job on content and also the way the server has grown very quickly. Chris continues to grow the Discord server and we continue on this growth in the community. I will be talking about that on Saturday's post but for now, I ensure you Chris will be just fine and give him some time he will get to more a normal sleep pattern and he is working hard on the sleep issue and I know he will fix this and get back into a routine, it will just take sometime for him. Chris wanted me to add that he will be back blogging first thing Monday and cannot wait to update you guys on things.
