I Won A Writing Award In Elementary School! (Throwback Thursday)

              Way back I am talking 20 years ago, I wrote stories. It was the photocopier that had it's own life stories and unfortunately they were destroyed by an individual and I never had a chance to re-create that story whatsoever, however I do remember it was a trilogy of 3 of them that I did. If I remember the 3rd one which I do not remember the name of the 3rd book but I remember the fact it was a short story not like a huge book. I really wished I had back-ups of the books on the computer. Anyways I got an award I believe it was for my second story or my 3rd but all I know is I got a trophy and it is on my top shelf and hasn't been brought down in many years but I truly deserved that award I put a lot of effort into all the stories. I might get into re do the stories and maybe I need to put more oomph into it, meaning bigger and better storyline in the short stories so it is definitely a possibility and I plan on doing some writing when I get some free time and that is coming up with me closing in to the finish line of notes for at least 3 of the collabs.

                I just wish I knew the title of the final book but that is gone and I do not remember whatsoever what it is so this might be the opportunity for me to actually come up with a catchy title. Anyways that trophy means the world to me and I never ever wanna let it go. It is a very treasured memento to me and I think it will be something I will treasure for the rest of my life. Actually it was 20 years ago 2 months ago to when I actually won this trophy. I cannot believe it has been that long since I actually won this and there was a photo taken of me with it but it was lost and not sure if the teacher who took it is still there which I can contact her to get it sent to me here and I believe she could of now retired from teaching so it is a disappointment but I can always take one now of me now with it and maybe it is just time for me to take a picture of me with it 20 years later. Anyways that is my post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow on the last post of the week.

The Binding of Isaac After Birth + and Spelunky 2 Updates!

                    I have an update on The Binding of Isaac. I got to play a bit over the weekend while on an hour break from working hard. The first update out of 2 is I had Isaac who threw bombs at things which mind you it was like Dr. Fetus in the vanilla and was quite easy to handle after a few fail attempts and I went all the way to the end and completed the challenge that I was doing. Also I have since my last update month or so ago unlocked the flooded caves which is really cool and you can literally hear the drip, drip, drip sound which is cool and gives it an cool floor to play.  Also the burned floors that look like lava and fire is cool but the only problem it is a bit darker and harder to see what is what but I am adjusting to them playing it a bit more and getting use to it. The other update is I tried a Samson run and went pretty far, I went to MOM but ended up dying after but soooo close to the end yet again. I have noticed that I am going deep into runs these days and everyday I am getting better and better at this game. I wish I can put the dedication into Spelunky 2 which I will get into next.

                    As I said I wish I would do a lot better at Spelunky but I seem to some how end up dying and fast and I do not like those yellow dude that roll up and rolls around the floors and hits me and to be honest, I hate these dudes... Really frustrating to be honest! I can also tell you the truth, I have given up on Spelunky 2 all together.... I cannot seem to do anything right and is not worth my time and I think I am just done with this all at this point. I rather play videos game that I would do better at and is at the bottom of my list at this moment. Anyways that is my updates for gaming and if I got anymore, I will do another post on another week. Until tomorrow, have a great rest of your Tuesday!

Figured Out Why I Keep Getting Restricted From Streaming On Facebook!

                I figured out why the heck I kept getting locked out, it was a Facebook bug because the second time around this happened and I got restricted, I found a way around resetting the password to my account and I can view and see Facebook no problems whatsoever.  However the problem now is I am restricted once again from streaming but when I get unrestricted I will test streaming through OBS and if that doesn't work then I will never ever stream to Facebook ever again at this rate and nothing I can do about it whatsoever. This site is a pain in my butt and I can ensure you I did not break any of their rules whatsoever. All I did was go live and they tried to lock me out and restricted me. Not pleased whatsoever. If I poof and they ban me from the website then so be it but I do not think they will whatsoever as I am not breaking any rules and oh I will fight it honestly. 

               So that is the story with Facebook and I had an original post for Blue Jays but rather keep my thoughts to myself. This website has to fix their flaws because it has become more and more buggy and to be honest, might not even bother with going live anymore and any news that I may have will be pre-recorded from here on out at this time. I think this is the best move and at least if I wanna go live I can do that via Instagram Live but I just feel like those days have passed by and a thing of the past and only real reason I keep OBS is to do these small updates so you guys know what's going on with ChrisBOnTheWeb.  Anyways that is today's little ramble post about social media, hope you guys enjoyed me complaining about Facebook and I will talk to you all on tomorrow's blog post post.

What I Wanna Do With The Studio In The Future?

                With the rumors of CBOTW Gamers Podcast eventually coming back possibly, not 100% sure as there are other reasons behind that I didn't explain which I am not going to talk about publicly as I do not wanna discuss it. However my computer is aging and getting really old for computer years and I am already planning for the future of this studio whether this podcast happens or not, I still need a computer for recording and honestly this one is slowing the heck down. Anyways this is what is planned with this new PC:

- 3rd Monitor: Yes it is quite difficult to stream or record with so I am putting the money forward on top of the cost of the computer which could be up to 5 grand or more plus another 2 - 4 hundred dollars for the monitor and also the monitor stand for 3 monitors since I am expanding on the screens and will be the 3rd and final screen as I do not wanna get too exotic. 

- Possibly upgrading Larry's Mic: I have had Larry's mic for quite sometime, years since probably 2015 at this point and eventually I wanna have both mics the same mic, AT2020 Condenser Microphone. Do not worry the Audio Technica PRO31 will remain in my studio and not going anywhere anytime soon. However I plan to do that soon before that happens and it will happen probably after Larry is able to return to the studio.  This is a possibility and not 100% sure at this moment. 

                   That is the update of when I get the computer and even before and I am excited for the future of this studio and yes I will continue to give you guys updates on the studio and the changes I make. I hope you guys enjoyed today's post and yes it was I guess it was a part 2 of yesterdays post but now you guys know my entire plan moving forward and I can say this, I am excited for the future! Have a great weekend and I will talk to you all Monday!

Studio Updates [08-18-2021]

                    Got a bit of an update to the studio. I have made a couple of changes made to the studio and the first one was the purchase of a brand new USB Mixer. Now I had a BUS Mixer originally the Samson MDR624. As you guys know the wire popped out of the end and the reason why there was a problem with it and I couldn't get the wire replaced so the Mixer was thrown out as it wasn't usable anymore so I ended up buying this mixer and to be quite honest with you guys, I love the mixers with the fader its so much easier to actually and the knobs are not a problem with my fat fingers hitting the knobs so it made it very difficult to actually turn on mics and what not but what matters now is I have the Behringer x1204 USB Mixer. I can also say I love this mixer. My favorite one that I have had over the years out of the 3 mixers I have owned.

Now the other thing that has changes is the microphone is repositioned into a up right position almost.  Also you probably seen on the microphone the mic flag with the CBOTW logo. I have had that for almost 2 months now and it looks so professional within the studio and I have really up'd the studio look and I continue to up the studio and things continue to look amazing and I can say this is definitely a professional setup now. I would like to add another screen to my setup eventually and will to add the additional screen to the studio and would spend the extra money to get it but we'll see how I feel and maybe I will and it depends if I wanna add in a 3rd and final screen. I'd have to find another mounts for the screens as this one has 2 at this moment. Anyways that is today's post, hope you guys enjoyed it and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Minecraft Server Updates [08-17-2021]

               This will be my final update on the server for a little while as I do not think I'll have an update for you guys for a while after this. Anyways I expanded the property, the farm but 1 x 2 block. Including the expansion of the main building and the Office building which the Office Building I had to be careful with Floors 2, 3 and 6 as there are villagers wondering around and doing their join in society especially my minions on the top floor of the building. 

                Now the other updates, I have removed the glass roof to make it into a more building itself. The Villagers have the main floor, 2nd and 3rd floor to wonder and access to the office building as well with no access on the basement floor where the garden centre and animals are which I keep seeing a random goat spawning about.... LOL. Also they do not have access to the storage facility and it is locked off with gate. Also the outside of the huge structure they do not have access to minus the Wandering Traders as they can spawn anywhere so really they have access to anywhere on the property or the outside world too and if we lose em we lose em, nothing we can really do honestly. 

Now to the final part of the update I wanna make is the floating sky base that is literally up in the sky and if you literally look down, you can see a village and the villagers below and only way to get up there is through Creative Mode. It is very easy to see on a clear day and wish I made it higher and maybe something I can do in the future is creative some kind of tube elevator for people to even access it in the sky or yet again just leave it where you have to use creative mode. While I am working on Jungle Fury I will be working on the world and I think I am going to rise it a lot higher then the original one is so it is barely visable and only my niece and nephew and I can access it. Anyways that is the post for today, hope you guys enjoyed it and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

My Priorities Are All Over The Place!

               I am really all over the place with my priorities and I really need to focus on the priorities which is getting the collab prepped for the fall and I am almost there but the weekend that just went by, I actually got to recording intros for the podcast and updating the entire website to editing the podcast and tomorrow is the start of Jungle Fury as I took a small break from watching to do some other projects for ChrisBOnTheWeb so I am all over the place and I hate being all over the place but it will all get done in due time and I have a plan but I think I am going to just go in and out of things on the list and yeah it will be done eventually. I guess it is all about priorities. I did finish up the intros this weekend and got into the editing for the collab and I still have to get an announcement out when it is done as I've held onto it for weeks now so I have to figure out the release and I do not wanna hold on to it much longer. 

                Why you think I have yet to release, it goes along the lines of my priorities have been so all over the place I need to really continue editing that podcast and get it out. I can hear you guys grumbling over it not being out yet and you guys knew I was recording it on the 29th of last month so I really need to get to it out to you guys soon as production for that Podcast is starting back up within a month from now so that one does have to get out. Also I gotta start planning Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022 as it is going into it's 2nd year of production which I think is doing absolutely amazing which I will talk more about towards the end of this week but what matters it will be done just take baby steps and it will be done but the weekend it was an interesting change of pace especially for me. Anyways have a great rest of your day and I will speak to you all tomorrow!

Planning Ahead For Podcasts!

                  I am already coming up some new ideas for the future of Entertainment Man Podcast but remember some of the episodes are on reserve in case I need em next year with interviews going on and off throughout the year and there is time between interviews but I got 2 new ideas and writing them down as they come to me so I can start writing ideas down and whatever I do not use I can use em possibly down the road in 2023 if worse comes to worse I have that as an option too later on as well. However 2022 is the primary focus now and I know while I am on my break from Power Rangers Collab before RPM is started up to prepare for the final show in 2021, I am more then likely working on Entertainment Man Podcast 2022 and getting amped up for another amazing long year of podcasts. I know I will be weaving in and out of stuff in the coming weeks to a month or two but I know what I am doing.

                  One last thing I'd like to add is I need to re do the intros of Power Rangers Collab which I will be going back and forth on till everything is completed and finished  Still a ton of work to do to get ready for future episodes and projects and I will doing on my own or also with Larry as well but I have a sticky note on my desktop to what needs to be done and by when so I know exactly when it is due to be finished. So I am planning ahead and I'm sure you guys have seen an updated post that I have completed Operation Overdrive and on the next season moving forward which is Jungle Fury before I am on a little break from the collaboration to the time I start working on RPM for December 9th, 2021 which is the finale for 2021 and going into a brand new year for podcasts. Anyways that is my update for planning ahead and little heads up Everything About Reality Podcast Archived page here on the site is going down for the day for some much needed maintenance.  Have a great weekend and I will talk to you all Monday!

Billy Madison Movie Review

                   This is one of my favorite movies to be honest. One of the reasons is because it was filmed here in my hometown here and it is the home of the owner of General Motors McLaughlin. Anyways another post for another day to talk about it but the movie is one of my favorite movies out of the Adam Sandler movies and there is a pile of them on my list with  Happy Gilmore being up there too. Adam Sandler is a great actor, hilarious and in the movie he played a role of a son to his father who runs a hotel and has to pass every grade in 2 weeks and he will get the company. Which another guy, Eric tries to ruin it as he hits high school. Now one more thing about the house they filmed in, it's right across from the High School I attended from 2001 - 2006. Which yes I have been inside the house for a tour before and is well known. 

                  I have some good memories in the movie one of them is that crazy penguin scene at the very start of the movie. Also when he said T-t-t-today Junior! Another amazing moment in the movie. One other moment is when he was writing a word with the letter "Z" and spelled rurruto or something like that. I know when I saw the fountains I said instantly, yup that's the estate I was thinking of and its so easy to notice it too, the front façade of the house or as I said the actual fountains on there. Either way I would give this movie a 10 out of 10, forget that 20 out of 10 as it is too funny of a movie and I really enjoyed the movie and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it as its an awesome hilarious movie. Anyways I will talk to you all on tomorrow's blog post.

Minecraft Server Updates for 08-11-2021

                      Got another massive update and this only part 1 of 2 of the updates with the second part coming next week on the same day and time. Anyways I wanna provide you with a two of the updates that I have for you guys today:

Nether Railway: It's not big  or long and it spans all the way over to the Fortress and that's it. Haven't really made any other plans to expand on the actual railway and go elsewhere as it is very easy to actually get lost in the Nether and not find your way out of there and it's happened to me before and I am lucky I can keep items when I die as I did the /kill command on the server and I ended up back where I was and had to go back in to wherever and whatever I was doing at the time.

Baseball Stadium: I know that was work in progress for months as it was a very very big build to do especially with 3 deck stadium to finish and been 2 weeks or more since I have completed the project and now sits on the property tall and proud and yes I visit it from time to time especially the CN Tower next to the stadium which is literally next door to the stadium. Maybe one day it will have a dome on it just maybe we'll see but I like it as she is right now its got it's own little touch but if I do end up putting in a dome it'd be a glass but I have the weather set to clear for 999999999 and no joke either. That is my update, like I said another update is coming next week with what I did and should be about enough for updates for now unless I do something really drastic to the server but I think I am done with major projects for now. More on that next week until tomorrow's post have a great Wednesday!
