The Mabeanie Blog: January 2018

Pretty busy

Hey guys,

So I returned to my channels and the first thing that became apparent was that I wasn't prepared. Many of the videos aren't ready for uploading. Some things on TheMabeanie are fine. Bioshock and Assassin's Creed 2 don't need much changing, and neither does MCBS: CC.

The real problem is having all of the videos, when they are scheduled, titled, described, and tagged. If YouTube was the only thing I did, then there wouldn't be many excuses. Because I also make comics, and I'm trying to release an anniversary comic this month, I don't give myself much time to work on YouTube. Of course, I should make sure that I instantly get cracking on this sort of stuff as soon as I'm dressed.

I'm just not motivated to do it when I don't get many views. Another thing is that I'm reconsidering my approach almost every day. The Let's Plays are not my favourite thing, and neither is what I'm uploading to MrMabeanie, so I want to makes changes to the content. I'm a little inspired by the content that Ihasnotomato releases, and want to create content that makes MrMabeanie look like what it's supposed to be - a high quality channel.

Right now, the plan is to upload everything that I've recorded over the years as I intended. Then, when everything has dried up - although the channels all have different amounts of content - I will start releasing videos that I'm more excited about. On MrMabeanie, Friday Night Fun will stay, but the content on Mondays will probably change. I have no ideas for TheMabeanie. Maybe Mabeanie2 will change.

I will continue to ponder.

See Ya!

Hello Tumblr

It’s been a few months since I blogged in any way. I’ll copy this over to Blogger tomorrow (I didn't).

It’s Sunday, which means that by choice I am off the computer. It’s new year’s eve and I’ve had a bad year at uni in terms of grades. My comics have been going fine, with two coming out this year. That’s the average, with the most being three in 2010. December was also the 10-year anniversary of my comics. I wanted to make something special and release it around the anniversary time, but my prioritisation of uni meant that everything except for it and YouTube was kept in the back of my mind. When I procrastinated on uni work, it had a worse effect on comics and magazines. I spent time learning about the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship. I could have made a magazine or worked on my comics, but I did not.

There are a few ways of making up for these shortcomings. I could declare 2018 the anniversary year of my comics. I could quickly make the celebratory comic right now, but I’m exhausted from working on things all year. I could just decide not to do the comic, but that’s too easy. I may just do the celebratory comic in January and apologise for its lateness.

I will dwell on this.
