Studio Has Been Tweaked a Bit Again!

 

            The ChrisBOnTheWeb Studios has once again been tweaked and I will explain what I mean. First of all the boom arm I was using for the microphone that is in front of me well that boom arm broke and I had to replace it with Larry's which Larry's is now totally replaced with a newer one that is shorter then what it was and really he don't need overly a long boom arm as I showed on the right hand side it's not a big boom arm but hey he has a boom arm. Yes he still has the old Audio Technica PRO 31 hand held that hasn't changed whatsoever. Reason you haven't seen it in my Facebook and Instagram Stories before it was brought back out is because I had it stored away at the time and it is now back in the studio awaiting his return to the studio whenever that may be as we really do not know. That is change # 1 that I made to the studio and I will get into the next change in a moment but I wouldn't have any other way to actually have Larry's mic and if this boom arm breaks I may just end up getting a microphone stand but I really think boom arms are just better to have as you do not have to move it around that much. 

The second update to the studio and yes you can see Minecraft in the back drop which I will have an update eventually but I am talking about the headphones, yes there are now mounts on the desk unit and now we can hang up the headphones properly and there was actually room for two headphones actually so I could of just got the one but that's OK! They have their own set of mounts for both headphones and the one nearest to where I sit I also use for the Red Headphones which is used on a everyday use. So either way they both are used regardless and look way cooler then it being piled up on the desk and I consider these mounts a definite space saver and I got these on Amazon $2.72 Canadian which is not bad whatsoever and very, very cheap. Don't worry they are very strong in the way of strength as their heavy duty metal but definitely a space saver for the headphones and I got more room to do other things on the desk. Anyways that is my post for today and I am sorry if I am a bit late then the normal scheduled post but I got distracted this morning recording the podcast and tweeting about BBCAN9. I will talk to you all on tomorrow's post!

Sick Of Being Isolated and Stuck At Home!

             I am just tired of this pandemic. It has affected me physically and also mentally but mostly mentally. It has been an mental game for me in the last year and I am just tired 24-7, my sleep is so screwed up to be honest. I am up most of the night then sleeping till the afternoon at times which really screwed up for my sleep to be honest. There is nights that I am up all night and sleep and I've ended up banned 3 times since the lockdown and honestly I am done with Facebook and about to delete my account entirely as a whole and just stick to Twitter and Instagram. However back to being stuck at home, really got nothing to do either then work itself for this website or video games or card or board games but to be honest, it gets boring after a little while and the same routine day in and day out. Yeah I can go for walks and once and a blue moon make a trip to Walmart but I do not do it too often and some other days I find myself stuck at home and bored out of my mind. I also find myself napping for 3 - 4 hours at a time which really does mess up my entire sleep schedule.

              I need to get it fixed and fast and I probably be a lot happier person to be honest. This pandemic has made me fat again and I've gained weight and I haven't been overly active and I try to walk but no matter what I do I seem I am just a fat loser now at this point. I really am just sick and tired of this pandemic and wish it'd get back to a new normal at this moment. It has been frustration after frustration and I ready to be able to go back out and see friends and have Larry and Eric back here again but that isn't happening as the damn cases in Ontario have gone up once again it just grrrrrrrr so frustration to be honest. That is my little rant blog for today and I will talk to you all on tomorrow's blog post.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [03-08-2021]

               Another week has come and went and this means it is time for another weekly update for you all. I haven't been merely impressed in some of the behavior seen here on the website and I will explain:

Website: With the chatroom here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com I am not impressed. The amount of disrespect that has been given towards myself, Chris and the team in general and I know this is one of the # 1 reasons why he has stated he's considered not being as involved with the chatroom community and his stress has become very very high. I had to ban 6 trolls over the weekend and starting to question the chatroom existing. Now we have it on where you have to login at this point and we haven't changed it back since and are leaving the chat where you have to login to chat with everyone and this might be the best thing moving forward for all of us. This has to stop before we end up shutting the chatroom down or suspending operations of having the chat open to the public. This inappropriate behavior isn't acceptable and we have to do better as a community. Chris wants a clean, positive and happy community. There is no ETA when we will allow guests again and I am in constant contact with Chris about this and when we feel ready we will be sure to let you guys know but for right now guest chat is suspended.  

The CBOTW Show: As you know Chris has become backlogged with podcasts right now as we just posted up Thursdays eviction on Sunday morning before Entertainment Man Podcast went up. Now do not forget we have another podcast to go up and the reason behind that is because he had some things going on Saturday that needed his attention this is why we are backlogged or he is backlogged and he's jeopardized his sleep to just get this content out to you guys. Chris promised to get back on a schedule this week for the podcast in the way of scheduling to record and no more tech issues whatsoever.

                   This is all I have to really say for this week, not much for updates, honestly as we are readjusting to 3 - 4 podcasts and we will get better as the weeks go on as we have so much amazing stuff going on right now. We gotta continue the positive love and support for this community. I will see you guys next week, have a wonderful week in the meantime.

Talking About Chatroom Rules Ban Lengths....

                We have gone a little ban happy recent with the trolls and we needed to remove em. However we had no real guidelines and both Chris and I came up with the chat rules and we are going to be adding times to the bans and here they are:

Rules:

1. No spamming the chatroom.  (6 hour ban)

2. No being disrespectful to Staff or Any Other User In the Chatroom. (12 hour ban, if use of offensive terms will be permanent ban from chat and not able to return)

3. No asking for Moderator, we have enough Staff to keep an eye on things. (Chat message removed & warning. 1 hour ban if continues)

4. No posting inappropriate links is allowed. (24 hour ban, if continues, Perma Ban as this will not be allowed whatsoever)

                Rules are not hard to find and there is only 4 golden rules to follow and so easy to follow. We only perma ban from here on out on severe infractions of the rules. We have the most conservative rules out of any other chatroom. Right now we are not making mods till the chatroom is active but the bans are very reasonable times. Please follow our rules it is not that hard. You guys wonder why we have removed our chat off the website so much is because of the chat problems. Chris also mentioned if the trolls get too much for us then what we can do is not allow guest chat and we will implement that you sign up with http://www.chatango.com/ and we will not be allowing guests in our Community Lounge from here on out. We have a lot of tools with this chat we have on the site and one of em we even do not allow VPNS cause it would be easy for trolls to get back into the chatroom so that has already been implemented! That is everything I have to say about the rules in our chatroom please follow em so we can keep guest chat open and I will speak to you guys Monday, have a wonderful weekend!

Statement About The Community Lounge's Return!

                With the RETURN of the Community Lounge here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com I wanted to make an statement about the chatroom returning and will answer questions. Now there has been so many issues lately whether it was a chatroom here on the website or Discord server there has been either drama or just trolls being demanding and disrespectful towards the team in general. LET ME SAY THIS: It will not be tolerated. Now to a couple of the questions you guys may have regarding the chatroom:

1) When are staff around- That is hard to know as we're very busy team but we are around when we are around and typically between 9 am and 7 or 8 pm EST but there will be nights where we may end up being up late so it varies when we are in the chat but sometimes we leave our names just say hi in the room and we do not answer within a few minutes we are either busy or asleep. We work odd hours especially with Big Brother Canada 9 now underway, Chris is online a bit longer now with the Live Feeds up he will be up listening to them so between now and Mid May our hours are now going to be 12 pm and 9 pm at the most.

2) Rules- There are rules below the chatroom and that always seems to be an issue to follow them and we hate banning but we have no choice. We are going to be making a Ban times list that way you guys know how long you are banned and we will be taking notes who is banned and win along with username and two of us know who is who with the bans and that is myself and Chris. 

3) Chat Being Weird- We have added a button next to the chat on the website that looks like this to the left of this text. It is hyperlinked and all you gotta do is click the logo and it will take you to http://chrisbontheweb.chatango.com which is more capable to chatting within the community. We made it easier for mobile users but if you are on Tablet or IPad then it will be a ton easier for website use. This was an idea between both myself and the Founder & Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. This took weeks of planning and Late January/Early February we started to plan and work on this feature and it took us weeks to slowly plan and execute this.

           So tomorrow, Chris was originally going to post but he has given permission to do two days in a row. Tomorrow I will be talking about the rules and how long we are going to ban on the chat so you know. We do not wanna make it permanent unless it is a very severe rule broken. I will then be back Monday then you will be hearing from Chris Tuesday. Have a great rest of your day and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

I Cannot Be Careless With Forgetting To Blog.....

             I know I am suppose to blog on a daily basis but I was once again very careless with not blogging. Yes I did it again! I just do not know why I didn't think of this last night when I was on very late last night that I should of done a post and to be honest, I didn't really have anything planned. The Schedule this week on the whiteboard in the studio consisted of topics written on there Monday and yesterday and today's and tomorrow's blanked completely with no real topic and my weight loss well that's fluctuated so much I just do not think I can really give you guys an update on that right now. Maybe next week I can give you guys a definite update on my weight loss but with my weight either going up and down or staying put as I have tried so hard to get it below 230 before end of this week but that may not be happening at this point but the update is all up in the air for this week. Only 2 days away from that and we will see what I wanna do. 

            I can say that this week is totally up in the air right now. This is a very random week with posts at this point. I am just unable to keep up with it really, with 3 podcasts on the go trying to run  the maybe Lounge or have Charlotte do that to blogging and watching the show, I do not have enough hours in a damn day to keep up with everything honestly. So much going on but I have an announcement that I am going to be discussing this with my co-host next week that we will put off any recording till June and into July and it will be just prep work at this point. As you know today I was suppose to record this weekend's Entertainment Man Podcast but I have to do that tomorrow when I get up and get editing it as I am podcasting a ton during the weekend but if I am up tonight late I may take a whack at recording today. This is my boring post for today and sorry it wasn't anymore exciting then you expected but tomorrow Charlotte is going to be taking over the blog tomorrow as there is something she wants to talk to you about with the return of our lounge, rules etc. I will talk to you all Friday!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [03-01-2021]

             Well happy 1st of March! Another month has arrived in 2021 and I have a bunch of updates and return of favorite features! This is what makes this website unique all the different things to do around our website and our views seem to be consistent on a day to day to basis  and honestly Chris informed me we are close to the 200K mark on this website. With what is about to be added to the website but however here are the updates:

Website: Website has been given a bit of an overhaul. For those who didn't know Chris's 3 Twitch accounts, ChrisEM15, CBOTW_Network and CBOTWNetworkBot someone got into it and got it banned so we have abandoned Twitch all together all together so under Podcasts tab we removed Twitch and only has YouTube at this point. Also you have probably seen a "Chats" Tab pop up. The tab is yet to be active as I have to work on the Staff accounts still and we hope to launch one of two chats this week! What chats you may ask? We will have a chatroom for Big Brother so you can talk about what is going on the show and on the Live Feeds as well. As well as our Normal Community Lounge is returning on a more permanent basis and hope to launch that a week Monday.

The CBOTW Show: Chris, Jasmine, Billy, Chris S and Larry have done such an amazing job with the podcasts with fixing the technical issues they have experienced recently with streaming but everything seems flawless and last night's 1 hour stream proved to be a very successful for them both. Audio ONLY will be up today or tomorrow when he finishes editing it. Regular Streams can be seen Thursdays @ 9:10 pm EST.

Entertainment Man Podcast: The Podcast has proved to done well with YouTube and now Audio ONLY. The Podcast is all booked for end of the month podcasts up to start of June at this moment. Boss Man Chris will start looking into more interviews and if interested to email at cbotwbiz@yahoo.com 

               Those are the updates for the week and stay tuned for the chat release for the Big Brother Lobby which should be up during the day and chat will be opening after the Premiere episode of Big Brother Canada but the page will be live during the day but stay tuned for details this week. I will be talking to you all next Monday, have a great week!

Supergirl Season 4 & 5 Review!

            I know I delayed the next two reviews for Supergirl and the reason was I wasn't ready to watch 4 & 5 but since being stuck in Isolation for this long I have had to actually had the time to sit down and watch it. Now in this review I will be getting into the review I am covering both Seasons 4 & 5. First Season 4. It picks back up where you see Supergirl aka Kara already in action. I really found Season 4 much enjoyable and the addition of Nia Nal as another Superheroine part of the fight against evil. I know this was the last season with James in it as he leaves the show entirely and I believe he moves back where Superman is in one of the episodes. Also we see Supergirl in a coma and this guy Ben become a super pain and I admit I did not like him whatsoever during that season. Also the storyline of the Children of Liberty sort of made me feel like this was getting a bit strange. However don't get me wrong, the first half was good but then it got strange for me but that hook drew me in to the end of the season hence I watched the entire season from start to finish and quite quickly mind you. 

            Season 5, this is where things got a bit stranger for me in my perspective. Brainy acting really odd, breaking up with Nia Nal, Bat Woman showing up was a neat mix actually. Lex Luthor being killed off the show then returning?!  Them being in two different types of worlds, I really did not understand and that's OK. Also I feel like the entire story about the VR (Virtual Reality) I did not understand whatsoever till the end of the season which leaves off a positive note they next person they are going after is Lex once again. I did not like Miss Teschmacher that much but there is going to be characters you will love and hate in a show and that's honestly OK to feel this way. The positive things I'd like to add is the return of Mon-el and also the return our nerdy character Winn and to be honest I was so happy to see some old faces return as a guest appearance. Now one last thing I wanna add was the funny moment where there was more then one Brainy and they all said your under arrest. There was a female Brainy as well which made the situation quite hilarious if you ask me. Either way I will be watching Season 6 of Supergirl as it is the final season and I wanna see how this series end and if they capture Lex or not.

The Day I Renewed My First Ever Web Series For More Episodes!

                I know I was rambling almost 2 weeks ago on Twitter about this and when I renewed an Original web series which I will not mention the name of it per say but I was fresh out of High School as I graduated from High School and I decided to make a visit to my class, grab my things out of my now former locker as I had to clean out my locker and also grab my grades for my final semester to see if I graduated which I did! I know I say Ms. H, Mr. M and Mr. Plishka too during their lunch hour. Anyways I was on my way out the door in the front of the school that is when I thought, hey I'd like to renew the series up to 16 episodes for the first and only full season that was ever recorded. The one bad thing that happened coming down the stairs at the bottom I twisted my bloody ankle and I had to hobble my way back up the stairs and into the office to tell em what happened that I injured myself and I was unable to walk to the bus to get myself home. They gave me an ice pack and they called my parents to come and get me and I think one of the vice principals escorted me out to ensure I was OK going out to the back parking lot of the school.

              I believe it was mid week by the time Eric found out about the renewal and the ideas I had for the series and I know we had a get together to discuss the ideas and for the most part I remember a good majority of the episodes and I actually think I still got some pictures from those days on disks that I have upstairs but I would have to go up and actually look to see if I kept it or got rid of em. For the most part the rest of this was history and the series ran it's course till January 10th, 2008 which was a date in the history to remember and I wanna do a podcast or blog about the timeline of the Series I did over the years and more then likely it will be done on  a blog as I do not want you guys to be bore you guys on a podcast... LOL!

Harvey's Food Review

            In the last week or so I have had the opportunity to actually have take out for the first time in a while that didn't involve Little Caesars Pizza outside of that to be honest. Anyways I had a Hamburger with Fries and I forgot how Harvey's tasted as it has been almost 10 years or at least 10 years since I have had anything from there. Last time I was at Harvey's was with my friends Terry aka Lobster Head (LOL) and Angie and that was after a General's Game and I totally forget what year but I remember what day and that happened to be New Years Day I went to the 2:05 pm EST Gennies Game. So it's been a while and I'd have to ask him what year but it could of been at least 10 years as I have been going to game with them on and off for many years now! Anyways back to the review as I am way off the Beeton Path so to speak. The Burger has my usual, mustard ketchup, relish, onions and pickles which these one were long and thinly cut which were cut. Which reminds me I have another throwback story how I became a fan of Pickles which I just wrote down actually so I remember this for future weeks to tell these kind of stories to you guys. 

           Now the fries were really good and I gotta admit my favorite on top of New York Fries, Mr. Burger, Wendy's fries. Yes McDonald's unfortunately did not make my list as I find those too salty for my liking as they put on a little too much and that how I really feel. Now the burger as I said had Pickles, Onions, Relish, Mustard and Ketchup and the first thing I gotta admit is the egg like bun, it had the Soft Bun Action (SBA) as Daym would say on his YouTube videos. I did drop the box on the convertible box to make sure they put everything in there and was all accounted for. The patty was so tender and juicy and the addition of the pickle action game gave the burger a definite 10 out of 10 and I need to add to my list my favorite burger places in town including the one at the mall. Finally the French Fries were crispy and lightly salted nothing too over done and I would give it a 10 out of 10. I will be back to Harvey's in the nearby future and never know I may try something else off their menu and I may just review it for you guys!
