Minecraft-- End of an ERA & New World!

             Well it is an end of an era for the long running Minecraft server that has had a lot of twists and turns, 3 different railways in 3 different directions, the massive compound that we had built with a glass dome. I ran out of things and ideas to come across to building so after discussing it with my niece and nephew, I have saved the world on my USB key and decided to start over with a different type of world, more of a flatland which you cannot dig too far down or you fall out of the world.  I will get to that shortly as I wanna finish up my update on the old world. I redid the entire end house in the northern region from wood to complete stone and I believe there is still stone there for expansion above but that isn't happening anytime soon or ever. I am ready for a new and more innovative project in this world at this point and like I said I ran out of ideas on the server as there is so much you can do over time. 

            Now the new world is going to be the building of a city starting with City Hall which will be definitely like my city hall, I plan on trying to replicate the city hall we have here and it will be quite difficult to replicate and I will try the best I can to replicate it. I had to remove one of the beams that I have built because I wasn't happy with it whatsoever as it wasn't big enough for me and I want it a little bigger. There will be a library and would be neat to replicate the city hall and Memorial Park here like we have but we'll see how things go, the city hall is the first project which will take a while to build and what I will have to do is do a skeleton of the first level and the rest should come all together from there on out. That is my post for today, hope you enjoyed it and in a few weeks, I will update again but for right now, I have to work on this for a little while. I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

End of The Week Updates [11-05-2021]

                Another week has gone by and it is time for another end of the week update. Lots to update you guys, it has been a crazy week with getting work done and made some very important decisions that I have made this week but anyways here are the updates:

Website: Chat has done well and I'm sorry, I haven't been active in chat, been busy with the content but I am in there hiding out in chat and never know I may say something from time to time you never know but trying to be more interactive and transparent with you guys. As Savannah announced, 

Power Rangers Collab: This is the probably the longest of the updates but there is a ton of news that Larry and I have discussed. First of all the updates on the podcast as of right now. The plan is to finish up Jungle Fury notes and send em off next week to him and he knows that he will be waiting for em as just less then 2 weeks we record once again before a bit of a break till December. Following the conclusion of Power Rangers Jungle Fury, I am going right into RPM. I am not wasting any time to getting RPM done and sent out. Also following RPM, I will be working on Samurai and Super Samurai. Yeah I am going full force before a break is going to be required. Reminder that Larry and I are waiting to post up till both Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury are recorded. Either way, busy, busy with content. The next thing is Larry will be doing one off podcasts between the seasons and we do not know when we will record those but we will let you guys know when we plan on those. Finally some news on the forefront Larry mentioned the Sentai adaptation of Power Rangers so sounds like they will be indeed doing more seasons, Season 29 is pretty much a thing and Season 30 too so this podcast is not going anywhere anytime soon. 

                 Those are the updates for this week, most of the updates were Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast related but that is the information I have been sitting on all week and excited to tell you guys all this crazy news. I am sure Larry and I will once the one offs are done we have movies and what not to cover we have plenty of content as I wanna activate that Collab tab as it's been sitting there unclickable for quite sometime. However that is it for today, have a great weekend and talk to you all Monday!

Retro Gaming (Memories As A Kid)

                This year, I got to experience this and honestly it brought back memories as a kid. I got to play Nintendo again, Super Mario Brothers which is very retro from the 90s and boy I stunk.... LOL... I think out of all the times I played, I cleared the level once out of all the attempts which goes to show how bad I was at it... haha. Either way it was fun to play to be honest. Next up on my retro gaming was NHL which was weird to play as the last time I played it was when my brother was still living here at home and that was a long time ago. I really stunk at that too as I kept on putting the puck in my own net... LOL... Whoops. Anyways it was fun despite Montreal Canadians beat the pants off of me cause of my own stupidity. I'd like to put a note that this was on the Sega Genesis System. 

               Other retro games I played was the Ren and Stimpy game which was a ton of fun back in the day and really enjoyed playing it in general. Also Sonic The Hedgehog which my niece and nephew have been playing it and am glad they have been introduced to the older video games back then. Either way it is was fun to play the games again and being reintroduced back to retro gaming and playing games that I grew up with and it is always nice to relive my childhood. That is my Throwback Thursday story for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates!

Minecraft-- Got A Minecart Theft & Abandoned Railway

                Recently I have caught a zombie taking one of my niece and nephew and mine minecart in the act and I do not know what right they have to stealing our cart. Who knows where the carts disappeared to cause there are 3 directions the carts can go into the main North and South or East and West the cart could be at any of those directions and I would have to go take a trip down all 3 lines to just see if there is a cart. I am not sure if this has anything to do with an update to the game and it could of been that but the buggers had the nerve to go on a joy ride on my cart. Now I cannot even trust leaving a cart on the rails without the carts taken out on a joy ride so now I have to go looking for it and dunno how many have been taken out and I will have to see and will be funny how many they've stolen on me.

                Now the other part is the abandoned railway in the north end of the railway as I consider the front south and the back north but the north side at the now bigger wooden house since I have expanded and it is now more spacious then it was before and has a facility that houses a storage unit on the downstairs. I am not yet done with it, just been dealing with this zombie joy riding problem on there. Anyways beyond the end of the line at this wooden house which eventually I wanna try and relocate the house closer to the railway but beyond the wall where the button is an abandoned railway.  When I built it originally it continued on and it went far beyond this island. There are rails placed down on the bed of the railway so I guess it was suppose to been used when the railway was first put down is my guess but the power rails are not powered. So right now it is abandoned. Who knows if I will use it but it's sitting there unused at this moment. That is my post for today, I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Personal Website-- Coding Issues, etc!

                  Yes! There was a personal website and I wish I had the screenshot of what it looked like but I asked Savannah to remove it or more or less she told me there was issues with the menu bar and the header not space each other and Savannah and myself worked on it for an entire day tinkering with the code and the issue wasn't being resolved so we scrapped the entire website but it was looking like an awesome website what was completed before scrapping it all together and you guys would loved it, really I mean it was an awesome website. It is what is is in the end and these things happen, not sure even to this day I know what went wrong because to be honest, it was the same code this website has.... LOL! We literally stole the code from this website as it was a base for us to trying to build this.

                  Anyways that is now in the past and the plan is to continue on with this website and later when I decide to stop as a content creator, I plan on maintaining this website and keep the archives alive. Probably the schedule and podcasts tabs will not exist it'll probably end up being a smaller scale kind of website then it is now but I may just leave the schedule up to the last known schedule but who knows.  I do not really have a plan for how the site will look later on as right now as I do not plan on retiring anytime soon, I wanna continue on with this website and the content and right now there are no plans on me slowing the heck down anytime soon, there is plenty more to come and stay tuned! I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Not Even 24 Hours Later and Podcast Has Done Well!

        It hasn't been even 24 hours and the podcast has done so well for not even 24 hours old. This goes to show, I have worked extremely well on shows and the combination of stories about my days on YouTube and podcasting and an array of different topics that I have done thus far in the last year and a half has proven to have done extremely well. I think going back to podcasts.com proven that this podcast has a spot in the inter webs. I know I have my share of technical issues with the platforms but I have come through all of these this issues that I have had over the course of the last year and a half since the podcasts inception on March 8th of 2020.

 

           Right now I am riding on an all time high and I think and know that I have found the right podcast for me which is Entertainment Man Podcast and I can see myself doing this for 2 more years at the most, probably many years from now. Yes I said 2 or more cause I have already put out an outline for not just 2022 but 2023. I am looking into the long run of this podcast. It is doing so well, may as well continue on growing this thing bigger and better each and every week. Same with the bonus episodes it does well but not as well as a regular episode on Sundays but remember it's only a bonus and it is a shorten version of the podcast. I think between the 17 and 21 minute mark, I have hit the sweet spot for the podcast and that is what matter. I am very impressed how well it's done. That is my post for today, have a great rest of your Monday and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

End of The Week Updates! [10-29-2021]

                   Another week has gone by and we have come to a reset with CBOTW. No, no podcasts have been restarted I mean as a community as a whole. As I said yesterday it is now a reset except certain people that are not allowed back. Anyways here are the updates:

Website: Website is totally done, no plans to expand on the website at this time. I think there is nothing that Savannah and I could add to the website to be quite honest. I think we have added as much as we humanly can add to the website at this moment and I am quite happy with the state of the website. Now it is more about keeping the site updated with blogs and podcasts at this point. One thing we did add back is the chat and it is now under "Chat Lounge" which can be found on the sidebar of the website on the right side. We will not be removing it in the nearby future it is here to stay, whether it is used or not.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Starting Monday, I will be starting to work on 2022 episodes moving through the twists and turns of 2022 and the addition of 2 interview slots per month with extra episodes added into the mix in case of no interviews certain weeks so I am prepared to go either way.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Jungle Fury is not finished yet and I have made the decision as you guys know by my post on social media that I am going to be sending them next week when finished so he has it then I think I am going to get a start on RPM type em up on November 8th, 2021, then start working on Samurai and Super Samurai.  Then I will be on a break till April when I start the shift to Megaforce and Super Megaforce.

                         Those are the updates for the week, a few updates to say the lease and I am sure I will be getting more updates next week what is next for the projects and I will keep you guys informed with updates as things continue to progress. Another big week coming up for me and plenty of content to prep for the upcoming year. So have a good weekend and I will talk to you all Monday.

I Need To Do Better With Problem Solving In This Community!

                     I know at times, I have hidden and not said anything on social media or moments I go entirely "radio silent" on most platforms, you know something is up. I tend to go quiet when I go into one of my moods or some drama went on, I do not take it on directly, I avoid the situation and not deal with it. I've noticed I have distanced myself more and more from this group and I should remain active but sometimes it is just hard for me to deal with so much going on. I need to stop distancing and problem solve. Also I find myself not listening to both sides of the story, I just overreact and drama ensues. So I have to start being more assertive and actually face the problem head on, rather then go ban happy and I have been going ban happy on the group especially. I counted at least 8 to 10 people have been banned but I have taken majority of the bans off minus 2 individuals. 

                 Trying to make it right especially in this community and starting now is a clean slate, I wanna start over as I have been too unfair with some of you and communication is key. I do not want to come over strict and that is how I feel I have been feeling like I have abused my power as Founder/Owner and losing too many followers and I gotta stop the bleeding to be honest. I mean I have to fix this community before it crumbles like The Video Projects Team once did which was one of the reasons that community crumbled which drama was  a factor as well in the last year of it's operation. That is the one thing I am scared of is when CBOTW hits 8.5 years it will all coming crumbling down once again and I do not want that to be a repeat but fair warning any issues gone forever. Consider this a fresh start as I banned so many people on the group and now only 2 are currently under a ban. This is a fresh start for all of us and this year has been hard for all of us and so many changes with podcasts and hopefully moving forward things will be better. That is my post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Halloween 1 and 2 Movie Review!

                Today's blog is about the first 2 movies of Halloween and it is a movie review. Mind you I have only done 2 movies so far and I am sure I will be doing 3 and 4 next week. But here are the reviews for both the movies:

Halloween: The original movie that got this franchise going. I loved this movie, the music is freaky and when you heard the music you know something is going to happen. I like the backstory with Michael how it began how he became the main antagonist in the movies. It is always nice to know how it happened with the original backstory to the character. Also Jamie Lee Curtis was phenomenal in the movie and I really enjoyed this movie. These are the perfect Halloween movie for this time of the year. I know when I watched I always wonder what was going to happen in a future movie with characters being killed in the movie so it really made me wonder. Also I wanna add to this review, that no matter what they did Michael still kept on going took a few times before he collapsed. This movie gets a 10 out of 10 from me if I am to rate this movie out of 10.

Halloween II: This movie is a continuation what happened from the end of the movie where Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) was in the hospital and what happened to Michael which is a cool way to do the movie so you won't be questioning what happened at the end of the last movie throughout the entire movie. That's the correct way to do it and it answers a ton of questions. Also what I liked was how they continued on when the Dr. was shooting at him so it wraps up anything that happened from the first movie. I know this movie takes place in the hospital scenario. I was questioning why when Michael was on fire he was still alive till he moved a few extra feet. I loved this movie, love how they did the scene with Michael on fire. There wasn't a thing called Green Screen like there is now for 1980s. I know it wasn't as well know but I'm not sure when that became part of what is used to this day but this movie definitely gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

                  Those are my reviews and be sure to stay tuned as I am planning to do another review next week on Halloween III and Halloween IV. I know I have 12 movies to catch up on and please be patient with me as I watch 2 or 3 a week. Thanks to Jimi for the idea to do a review of these movies, plan on doing more of these in the nearby future. Till tomorrow's post, have a great rest of your Wednesday!

Microsoft Word 2021 & Verbatim USB Reviews!

                 Today, I have two product reviews and I am going to start with Microsoft Word 2021. Now, I haven't had Microsoft Word for at least 5 - 7 Years now and with my Corel Word Perfect acting really weird as my printer isn't being recognized I am now done with that program at this point and actually the version of Word Perfect it's a very old program nearly 20 years old and it was time for an upgrade actually.  So I spent nearly 200 dollars on a Microsoft  Word 2021 and so far I love it 100% love it more then Corel. Now I know I have Corel editing software and I am not going to throw any of those away. I know, I know I am stalling but this program offers so much more and I like the fact you can actually have headers and footers in your document which the other program didn't offer and all programs are different and again the version of the program was an older program and we all know the newer versions have new features added. However I am quite satisfied and happy with this program and it gets 10 out of 10 rating even though I am still navigating around the program. Last little note is I just didn't get word but has other programs that came in the package and I will review it once I start using it.

                  Now the second purchase almost 55 dollars later so looking at me spending 250 dollars between but yesterday morning my old USB pretty much died, I couldn't delete or save files on there so I had to spend the money on a new one and I got the Verbatim USB which is amazing and I just started to use it this morning and it actually lets me password protect the USB so if it gets lost and someone puts in it they will not know the password to it and unable to open it which is great to have it password protected. This actually keeps the privacy of my documents and what is actually on there. It was worth the money to spend on the programs that I got and hopefully this is the end of my spending spree for a while so I can save up again as it has been spend, spend, spend recently. Anyways that is my post and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a movie review on the blog.

Differences Between The 2020 Graphics To The 2022 Graphics

           This is a good little break for Chris from blogging on the website as he's been so extremely busy with content, he can actually focus on things but I believe he is not in his studio today. Anyways, as you know Chris and myself have been extremely busy with getting ready for 2022. So as you all know, I have recently worked on the graphics for not just social media for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. What you see on the right side of my post is the 2020 version of the logo which now is outdated and time for an update. Don't get me wrong I love this logo and Chris did an amazing job on the graphics but he felt like it was time for an update in the logo after 2 years and I totally agreed with him on that point. Part of my job is the website side of things and the other half is the graphical end as I have studied both sides of things and he is in luck I happen to know both sides of it.

             The logo on the left side of this paragraph is the NEW 2022. Not much difference when it comes to the logo and the real only thing that has changed on the logo is the text and the read leaf and also the colour difference which is a ton darker then it was with the 2020 and Chris preferred it was darker to begin with. It was really tough to replicate his original logo to the exact and know the size of the text on all 3 levels but what matters is he is happy with the finished product. I can say it is the same size as the original and we tried and keep everything the same and colour of the text remains the complete same and unchanged along with the red leaf but the rest is different now. As he said, he will be making the changes on the 1st of January 2022 and I am excited for the changes and I have implemented the CBOTW Twitter logo to my own profile on Twitter to test and haven't removed it as he's given me the OK to leave it as it is. That is the difference and big thank-you to Chris for allowing me to make this post this morning and I will talk to you all around the ChrisBOnTheWeb Community.
