The CBOTW Show New Plan

           The CBOTW Show is constantly evolving since the announcement of it returning last month. I know I said I was gonna hold back and I am but for Larry and I we are waiting to be on the air on that podcast. We are waiting till Power Rangers Collab Podcast slows down and it is coming in the next year from now. Plus sadly Larry will be moving in the next year and a half to 2 years back up north as his mom is retiring so this means he will not be in the studio anymore and the boom arm will be dismantled and put away for the time being. 

          However this doesn't stop me from finding hosts for the following shows: 

- Survivor (Host for Survivor 44 and beyond)

- Big Brother Canada (Will host for season 11 and will be offered for Big Brother US in the summer time)

            That is the plan for right now and we will grow it down the road. Will start with these two podcasts then continue to grow this thing bigger and bigger and you never know I may end up popping back in more permanently down the road if Entertainment Man Podcast ever stops which it isn't for right now but least I have a plan for later on especially. That is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for end of the week updates.

Gaming Updates

            Another update is here for video games. Not much more to report but as you can see on the right hand side the apartment building was torn down as I was not happy with it and need to do a full on rebuild on it at a smaller scale. Also built out back of the houses in the dome a barn full of animals that is over crowing the pens but no shortage of food right now which is great to have. 

          Stardew Valley, I streamed on the Facebook page for an hour and was quiet so I'm not even sure if I was even streaming as it was quiet but that's OK, I won't be streaming there anymore. I have moved the horse stable closer in to near the house without having to look for the building. Also in the midst of updating the tools and have a shortest of iron right now but I will fix that very quickly. As for The Binding of Isaac Re-birth, I am not even going to talk about it as it's getting more and more frustrating. That is the updates for gaming and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a special post about The CBOTW Show.

Avatar The Way of the Water Movie Review

               I was completely confused by the movie and I've never seen the first one ever. I kind of got bored of it and hard time to focus even towards the end and I didn't like the fact it was sooo long of a movie, about 3.5 hours long. However I did like some of the scenes in the movie without spoiling the movie. The action in it was really good but it was the length that was the problem with the movie. Too long and I was getting stiff from sitting even in a reclining chair they have now at the theatres still too long to sit. 

                To be honest I am not sure if I'd actually watch a 3rd movie but we'll see, I just wanna see what happened with the Commander who seemed to survived in the end but that's not really a spoiler but it is I guess in the end. Anyways that is the post and review and I would give it a generous 5 out of 10 not bad bad but it's more of in-between right now on my rating for this movie. Now this is the first time I have scored a movie low in any review I have done over the years but cannot always be satisfied right. I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Catching Up With You All!

          Well, after a week away and the drama that happened with me and the fan page being blocked for no apparent reason and all we asked is you do not block us, we needed you to see updates and it is rude to do that, so I just went off and ended up deleting the group all together. It is the fan page that Mark, Larry and I wanna focus on growing and recently it's started to peak again since we returned and with Mark the views on the page and the interest has gone down for a week or two but recently started to peak as we continued on to post every day. I know Saturday we went dead quiet and that was cause of the issues in the group we were busy dealing with.

             I do have something I want to mention to you guys and Larry and I talked about it over the weekend when we went to the movies which there will be an update on that. In better news, I will be opening up The CBOTW Show for auditions for Survivor and Big Brother Canada Recaps in January and February to try and grow a community within a community and excited for this to get underway. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for a gaming update.

End of The Week Updates [12-16-2022]

              Not sure how Chris does end of the week updates but I am going to give it a go this week as he is still MIA and hasn't been returning messages all week long so he must gotten himself into a ton of work this week perhaps. 

Chris- I hope he returns on Monday to blogging as he's been off and away from the blog all week long but if not then I will be covering him for another week but hope to get a message from him this weekend on an update about that. 

Entertainment Man Podcast- What I have seen by his Tweets he has finished and wrapped up recording Entertainment Man Podcast for 2022 and now is on break along with Power Rangers Collab for recording wise. 

Power Rangers Collab- What I heard through the grapevine is Chris and Larry had a top secret meeting yesterday night about he collab so they must be cooking up a storm with ideas for the new year at this point. 

Website Updates- He was going to update the about section but we never got to it this week, maybe after the holidays we will sit down and do some revisions to it perhaps. 

Reminder of Holiday Blog Schedule: Dec 24th - 26th, No blog; Dec 27th - 30th, 2022- Normal Blog; Dec 31st, 2022 7 Jan 1st, 2023, No blog with blogs resuming on Mon. Jan 2nd, 2023.

            That is the update, we hope you guys have a great weekend and will see you around the CBOTW Community!

My Feelings About The Video Projects Team

                 Things were never always roses behind the scenes and like I mentioned yesterday, there was a ton of drama. I will not mention names but I know I said camera man but which camera man in particular I will say as he had a ton of camera men back in the day. particularly the one he had in late 2008 - 2010 there was always some kind of drama. I remember Skype call with the boss man Chris and he looked stressed the heck out. I asked him if he was OK and he said no. Chris even mentioned and a small disclaimer he's given me the greenlight long before as he wanted me to do a string of these posts so I have his permission to talk about it as long as names to people he doesn't talk to anymore weren't mentioned minus his which he was fine with that. 

                     Back to the story but after the 50th episode he was threatening to fire a bunch of people on his team that ran the event and camera as you guys didn't know he blew up on camera and now has become a bit of a viral video on YouTube with 2 to 300 views racked up on the video. My question to him that night was why didn't he get someone to help him with the ice as he went all the way down to Foodland on his own by his own place without help and had to carry it all the way back after.  I wouldn't have blame him for firing people but I know he has a big heart inside and couldn't do that. 2 people could of been let go. I gave Chris even to this current day if you need to remove someone then you have to and even gave him guidelines to reasons why and hopefully this helps with his decisions if he choses to come back to ChrisBOnTheWeb next week. I will speak to you tomorrow morning for the "End of The Week Updates."

My Connection To ChrisBOnTheWeb

                Chris and I have quite a history with each other. I was there between 2009  and 2012 which I was involved with his former team the one he's mentioned he's despised all these years cause of the drama that went on behind the scenes and I was there when it went all down with his former camera man and his camera man's now ex.  Which you all know who I am referring to as the Survivor podcast that was cancelled towards the end of April before the season was up. I was there when bunch of his team ended up quitting on him in April of 2010, less then two months prior to the series going on hiatus. 

                  I was there when someone got into the xat chat and I was only an owner and he was out of town with a group and his girlfriend, Jess at the time. I have seen him breakdown, raging, wanting to quit all the time and what not. I was like an Admin for TVPT back in the day. Now roll 10 years later, I always wanted to know what Chris made of himself so I searched The Video Projects Team, nothing whatsoever of the whereabouts of him minus his old YouTube channel which is now permanently dormant for the most part.  I looked his name up and found out he ended The Video Projects Team and moved to what he is doing now and saw he was between his management team and I joined on. I kept tabs on him between June 2015 and now to what was going on from his depression and leaving YouTube to being a successful podcaster. Now tomorrow's post I want to do a post about the truth behind TVPT how I really felt. Don't worry I will keep it clean but talk to you all tomorrow.

The CBOTW Show- New Development

             The newest development before all of Chris walking away from ChrisBOnTheWeb is he is/or was planning on bringing on 2 hosts one for Survivor 44 and Big Brother Canada. He was planning to go that route but not sure what the story is behind that podcast now whether he is still planning this or not. Like I mentioned yesterday, he's now gone, not sure how long or if he is planning to return right now. I really like the fact he wants to involved other people on The CBOTW Show and trying to grow that podcast.

              There is not much else I can say as right now he's stubborn like a mule refusing to answer private messages both outside of the group chat and in that group chat so right now I do not have the answers you guys are wanting so it is quite difficult to provide answers. I wish he wouldn't be so stubborn especially with the team. However I have known him for 10 + years and when he says he's done, he's quitting something he will be back in a week from now. I know him too well. In the meantime if I get more information, you guys will be the first to know and I will talk to you at 11 am EST for another post.

Chris Has Gone M.I.A. from ChrisBOnTheWeb?

              Well Chris has gone M.I.A from ChrisBOnTheWeb and what do I mean by that? Well he's apparently left CBOTW and a lot has happened. I will not go into details but if that is what he wishes even for a little while then I do respect his decision and I will do the best I can to hold down the fort in the meantime. I guess I am next in charge as Larry doesn't know a lot about websites and the day to day but I know for a fact Chris is still in the team group chat at this moment and he says he's done and over ChrisBOnTheWeb yet he's still in the group and hasn't specifically told me I am taking over the community. 

               I have no clue what is going on but all I know is he's ignoring my messages right now so I am just leaving him be. Question and concerns I have what happens when it is time to upload Entertainment Man Podcast Thursday as that is his last bonus. He's said Entertainment Man has nothing to do with ChrisBOnTheWeb and same goes for the collab and The CBOTW Show. Question is where is he going to put the collab without a website or proper website so to speak.  A lot of unanswered questions he will not answer as his stubbornness is showing right now and maybe in time I will have answers what is going on with him. I will keep you guys posted but will talk to you all tomorrow morning.

End of the Week Updates [12-10-2022]

         Well another week has come to an end, it is time for another end of the week updates. It has been a strange but productive week with me only working 6 out of the 7 days this week due to my birthday but here are the updates:

Facebook: It is no secret I am back on the platform but Mark has been posting as the fan page for the last few days and I will be posting to the fan page this afternoon for the collab. You guys cannot really tell if it is him or I posting tho. I will try and stream in the afternoon for an hour maybe show you guys what I've been doing on my spare time on my server perhaps. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Between recording episodes to complete this season in general as it's been a foot race to the end game for this year and generally this time of the year is a busy one wrapping things up for the podcast and getting ready for the next year.

         Anyways that is the post for today, not much to report. Minus one last collab being posted up for the year this afternoon but other then that Entertainment Man Podcast is the focus and will get into detail on Monday about that what my plan is right now but enjoy the rest of the weekend I will talk to you on Monday.

17 Years Doing Online Media! [What a Journey It's Been!]

             17 years.... Wow! I started this journey 17 years ago at the age of 20. I am now 37 years old and now in my 8th year of ChrisBOnTheWeb and closing in to breaking "The Video Projects Team" number of days it ran which is 3,261 days which in the next 10 months that will be a reality. My goal is to reach that 10 year mark and still is a goal to this day. I am totally off topic aren't I? When I started this journey, I was very inexperienced and very immature and had no idea what on earth I was doing. 

               However 17 years later I have learned a lot not just the coding side of things but learning what works and making the correct decisions that will make me a success. I know the last 2 years has been rough but finally got the hang of things and I just gotta find the right people to be involved with the website. Another 3 years and I hit 20 years in online media and 8 till the 25th anniversary. Either way it's been an adventure on it's own and weaving through all the ups and down being a content creator gives but in the end it is very rewarding in the end and I look forward to the years coming. I promise to have my favourite drink and celebrate today this journey that I have been on and I look forward to the next year and many years to come and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris
