Quick Updates

Hey guys, Cdog here with a quick update post. First of all, with those ideas I had involving friends, that will be put on hold for now. I didn't have money to renew my server this month, so after about a year of service, it has been terminated unfortunately. Now my friend Robbie has a server of his own which is much cheaper than mine, so if we can get on his server, this whole thing won't be a huge deal. I probably won't buy another server until next summer since pretty soon I'll be busy with marching band and school and such, so I wouldn't have much time to go on the server.

In other news, that Minecraft Random Moment video, if you saw it, will not be a one-off thing. It is a new idea I had for a series, in which it makes it convenient to watch funny or random moments from any video I have uploaded or will never upload, in that case with Devil Dave. Yes, it was very random, but I found it amusing to make.

Also, I've been noticing some of my stats increasing lately in views and even subscribers. Now in the past few days, I've gained at least 5 more subscribers, in which is a lot to me quite frankly. I'm still pushing for 100; as soon as I reach that point I'll be very satisfied, even if I don't get anymore. However I compared this June to last June 2013, and oh man does June 2013 blow this month out of the water. Last year in June the view count reached around 580 views around June 24, 2013, and this year by that same date has only reached about 360 views. Obviously I'm improving the content as much as I can and coming up with new ideas, but it is difficult since all last year I was almost always active, but haven't been as active since.

Well that's it for this update post. So I do plan on finally not being lazy tonight and actually get videos out that's been recorded already. That includes some Project Ares, but I may find new ways to edit it, and also what I call a "podcast" I did with mcfarlin, which basically we talk about anything that pops in our minds while we are playing Project Ares. Expect those tonight or tomorrow. Until then, goodbye!

Alright So I Have Ideas...

Hey guys, Cdog here. Remember like a week ago or so I announced what I had planned for June? Well now I'm starting to coming up with the ideas more clearly. First of all, Minecraft Misadventures is kind of troubling to record right now as my friend Robbie won't be available like ever for the rest of the summer from what I've been hearing. He is simply too busy. So I'll probably bring Alex along, but depending on who else I can add, like Elliot, Alexa, or David again, then I can record again. Obviously I want at least two other friends in the video.

Other than that, I'm working on a video project right now that is based off Minecraft's Southeast Rule, as you may of heard. So some friends and I including mcfarlin is gonna help me out with the planning and such. Expect this to actually come out as I do typically say I'll release a big video, but this time I have the free time to do it.

Also, expect tomorrow to be a video about the new Water Dungeons in the newest Minecraft snapshot 12w25a. I played around with it earlier yesterday, so I know how cool they are.

Another thing, I still do have some Project Ares stuff I can upload, but in the future I may come up with variations of PA stuff rather than just me playing it for like 20 minutes or so. For example, montages, perhaps recording a funny moment or whatever. Perhaps I'll start using the "Round" format I used on what used to be the Project Ares PVP channel I was in with mcfarlin. Basically each episode is a "round" in which I only play one round. It can take a few minutes, or even up to 20 or even 2 parters or whatever, but this is all stuff I'll think of in the future. I know I usually don't keep promises, but expect one of the new ideas to be uploaded next week.

So that's all for now of my ideas. I hope this should help with the view count a bit as I am pretty lackluster on views lately which I blame partly on my inactivity and perhaps lack of original ideas. This is my attempt at originality. However I did some research and find this month so for up to June 17 I've been almost on par with June 2013's views. At around June 17, 2013, I had 254 views. Now around June 17, 2014, I have 227 views. I'm pretty happy to see I'm pretty close with last year's June views, which last June got viewed 714 times. So I hope this may be a sign my view count could be rising back as it has been dipping down recently. So expect all these videos sometime within the month. Until then, goodbye!

So What's Planned for June?

Hey guys Cdog here. So it is June 7, or almost June 8 by the time I'm typing this. If you noticed the videos on my channel than you may of realized I brought back the Minecraft Misadventures series. I plan on doing more, but the most recent Episode 7 was the last of that recording session and we can't record more until about Monday. Starting then we will mix things up from a just plain survival to an actual challenge to do. You'll find out in Episode 8. Other than that, I also uploaded my first update video since January, but expect there to be more to keep you updated. So you guys will have this blog and the update videos on my channel to look for news pertaining to me. Other than that, I'm trying to plan out some other stuff to do in June. I had an idea concerning about Minecraft's Southeast Rule, but that's still within the works of idea creating. Other than that, I have no other stuff planned for June, but as time goes on I'll find new ideas. I do have all the time in the world in June and almost all of July before band camp starts the last week of July, so I will be churning out videos until then. Once band camp starts however, I will have no time for anything practically. And with sophomore year coming up around that time, I need to prepare and once sophomore year starts, I will be super busy as I will be working harder to achieve great things. So in recap (or for TL;DR):

-More Minecraft Misadventures
-Update Videos
-Southeast Rule of Minecraft

I'll come up with more ideas as time goes on, but until then goodbye!
