Thoughts on the goings so far

Hey guys,

I got a comment on my TheMabeanie Road to 2019 video:


In the video itself, I found no particular focus on making Supercars videos until the end, where I say that MrMabeanie will become Supercars Mabeanie. The comment suggested to me that I did a poor job at explaining my plans, or maybe they watched all of them and commented on the TheMabeanie one. A lot goes unexplained, but I must admit that I didn't run the video by anybody before making it public.

Another thought I had recently was that I had the idea of, whenever I put Friday Night Fun on TheMabeanie/MrMabeanie, I would post the clip and link video on the other channel. This only makes sense for MrMabeanie, as I want to divert people to TheMabeanie if they want gaming content. Directing people to MrMabeanie would have the opposite effect, so I will no longer put videos on TheMabeanie that send people to MrMabeanie for gaming content.

I look forward to doing Assetto Corsa again this coming Friday.

Thanks for reading,
See Ya!

2019 plan breakdown

Hey guys,

I have released three videos outlining my plans for each of my three personal channels. They do not go into much detail, so I will break down each plan.

MrMabeanie

This channel will be called Supercars Mabeanie by 2019 and will only have videos about the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

The channel name will change on January 1st, 2019, to Supercars Mabeanie.

From now until then, there will be less gaming videos. They will instead go to TheMabeanie.

Friday Night Fun will be uploaded less on MrMabeanie and more so on TheMabeanie. This bit is pretty complicated, so I'll break it down. Firstly, there can only be a maximum of 4 FNFs per month.
If 4 (maximum possible) FNFs are made:
  •  July - 100% (4) FNF on MrMabeanie.
  • August - 75% on MrMabeanie, 25% on TheMabeanie (3 videos on Mr. and 1 on The.) 
  • September - 50% (2) on Mr. and 50% (2) on The
  • October - 25% (1) on Mr. and 75% (3) on The.
  • November - 0%  (none) on Mr. and 100% (4) on The.
  • December - settling-in period across all channels, 100% FNF on TheMabeanie.
I cannot predict the future, so there may not be 4 or even 1 Friday Night Fun per month. In that case, because the goal is about FNF being uploaded more to TheMabeanie, I will focus on having an FNF on that channel.
What if there is no FNF one month? Then I stick to the plan.
If only 1 FNF:
  • 1 FNF - 100% MrMabeanie (July) then goes on that channel.
  • 1 FNF - 75% MrMabeanie (August) then still goes on that channel.
  • 1 FNF - 50% MrMabeanie (September) then goes onto TheMabeanie.
  • 1 FNF - 25% MrMabeanie (October) then goes onto TheMabeanie, and so on until the end of December.
If only 2 FNFs:
  • 2 FNF - 100% MrMabeanie then goes on that channel.
  • 2 FNF - 75% then on MrMabeanie.
  • 2 FNF - 50% then one on MrMabeanie and the other goes on TheMabeanie.
  • 2 FNF - 25%  then they go on TheMabeanie. In November and December, all FNFs go on TheMabeanie.
If 3 FNFs:
  • 3 FNF - 100% MrMabeanie then goes on that channel.
  • 3 FNF - 75% then 2 go on MrMabeanie and 1 goes on TheMabeanie.
  • 3 FNF - 50% then 1 goes on MrMabeanie and 2 go on TheMabeanie.
  • 3 FNF - 25% then 1 on Mr. and 2 on The. In November and December, all FNFs go on TheMabeanie.
Schedule
The schedule of Monday and Friday videos will still be followed. When there are NO FNF videos on MrMabeanie only because they are on TheMabeanie, then Seedscribers will be uploaded in order to ensure that all of that series is uploaded.
On Monday, Supercars videos will be uploaded whenever they are ready. Seedscribers episodes will be uploaded there every week until they run out.
Update videos will be uploaded whenever.
A video will be uploaded onto MrMabeanie if a Friday Night Fun is public on TheMabeanie during this transfer period. The video will show a clip from the FNF episode and have a link to the TheMabeanie channel afterwards.

TheMabeanie

There will be no more Let's Play episodes from the launch of the plan on the 20th of June 2018, and only Assassin's Creed 2 will be uploaded on Tuesdays from the 26th of June onwards. No more Bioshock or Spec Ops: The Line videos.

Friday Night Fun will occasionally appear (as explained in the MrMabeanie breakdown above). The first on TheMabeanie will hopefully be on Friday 22nd of June 2018, this week!
Whenever a FNF is on MrMabeanie, then a video with a clip and in-video link to the channel will appear on TheMabeanie. 
Other gaming videos will appear on TheMabeanie on Thursdays whenever they are available.

The channel name will change to Mabeanie Games on January 1st, 2019. It will be the only place to find my solo gaming videos.

Mabeanie2

Mabeanie2 will become a channel featuring me talking about whatever I want. There may be guests from time to time.

On Wednesdays, there will be a new video. If there is any leftover footage from a montage or highlights video (henceforth called a bonus video) on MrMabeanie, then it will appear here. If there is both a bonus video and a talking video, then both will appear.

On January 1st, 2019, Mabeanie2 will be renamed to Mabeanie Talks. Also from that day forwards then there will no longer be any bonus videos.

Note
I hope that I have thought this through well enough. Feel free to ask any questions, as I am a mere mortal and cannot predict the future or be bothered to spend so much time thinking of every possible scenario.
I have a Twitter if you would rather Tweet me, or feel free to comment in any of my videos. The main problem is commenting here on this blog. I don't get notified! https://twitter.com/MrMabeanie/.

Thanks for reading.
 See Ya!

Post-Uni, I am lost.

Hey guys,

I finished Uni on June 8th, and went on holiday with my family for the long weekend.

On Monday I got home and spent the week relaxing.

On Wednesday I did a bit of Pickle-Shaped Peanuts stuff, since it's been a year since the last video on that channel. I should make sure to get some videos up for Mickell Pickell to edit.

It was race weekend for Supercars, and I very much enjoyed catching up. At first, I was very unsure about whether I wanted to because of how much I missed out on. I started catching up on that Wednesday, and by Friday I was caught up for the most part. There are still bits and pieces that I will have to find. Nevertheless, I am understanding how the series is going right now, although unsure about the "return" of Ford to the championship with the Mustang Supercar due to debut next year.

I feel like I have gained very little from Uni, even though I am very aware of the things that I have gained. The 18-year-old who drove to his Australian History exam knew nothing compared to the 22-year-old who has driven to many since then. In terms of my Resume, there is not much to add from the three and a half years of Uni. I put Project Management because I have done many projects with lots of different people. I still feel like the jobs that would be ideal for me (like I know what they are *sarcasm*) are beyond reach, but I think this is for a lack of trying. Once I get moving I think that things will start feeling better.

I also have to get back into the swing of all of my hobbies: comics and YouTube videos mainly. Today I made myself work on videos, and I'm still working on them now. It was for the best and I think that it has been sufficient to get me moving again. What is in my brain in terms of knowing how to do stuff is more able to do the work than the part of my brain that has been pegged to Uni work, YouTube viewing, and Civilization 5 for the past four months.

It's an emotional problem, but I'm working through it.
