Hey guys,
My next Supercars video is nearly ready. This morning I have done a bit of editing for it. I changed the editing style slightly as well. At the moment, I don't have an intro or outro for it, and I haven't put the references on the clips, but it's looking pretty solid. It is half as long as the retirement video, being 10 minutes long rather than 22.
I'm still not proud of it, but I do want to produce Supercars videos and definitely want to have more than one done by the end of the year.
I might do a video on this year's silly season, as I've done a lot of thinking about who would go where for next year's championship.
I'm going to make the Simona thumbnail, get in touch with Mickell Pickell about doing a chat series on Mabeanie2, and then probably do more Supercars stuff. I've been pretty obsessed with Supercars lately, checking my sources for news and listening to podcasts at lunch time. Next weekend is the season finale, so I'll probably take time off doing Supercars things for a bit after that.
Anyway, that's your update.
See Ya!

Slowly getting there
Hey guys,
So again I come to report on my progress on my next Supercars video.
As I described in a previous post, I'm looking for a topic that really clicks with me. I'm slowly getting there. I have 3 ideas in the works that I am the most passionate about: Simona De Silvestro and difficulty in the category, the changing of the guard and when exactly it happens, and when the most competitive seasons were.
The first two are my biggest favourites, with the changing of the guard probably being my first preference. It's a complicated topic that demands preciseness, which makes it a little fun. It's so complicated that half of that idea is just coming to a solid idea of what a changing-of-the-guard is, how to spot it, and when it has happened in the past. So far my answer has been that such a change happens almost every season. It's a slow and ongoing process. So then I've gone on and on, getting really tangled in it. Like I said, it's a little fun.
The Simona one is an issue that gets to the heart of how freaking difficult it is to get in and stay in the category. Dismissing a driver as just being not good enough is unfair if you consider all of the factors that go into results.
I think that the changing of the guard one will probably go first. It's more personal to me, so I want to talk about it.
So that's your update for my future reference.
Enjoy! Just generally.
See Ya!

Assassin's Creed 2 LP over
Hey guys,
Tuesday was the final episode of my Assassin's Creed 2 series. Obviously I didn't finish the game, and when I last attempted to record for it the game wouldn't work because of some error with Uplay.
Anyway, now TheMabeanie will have mainly Friday Night Fun videos, which this month will be more commonly posted there due to the plan. There will be 75% of Friday Night Fun videos on TheMabeanie. This channel probably took the longest to... Actually no, Mabeanie2 hasn't had a video that is in keeping with the plan yet, so TheMabeanie is the second slowest with MrMabeanie still waiting for its next Supercars video.
It's a difficult position to be in, but I know that it's what I want to do. The plan is all about being true to myself and doing what I want, rather than what I think I should do.
So now the lack of gaming videos will become more noticeable on MrMabeanie, with Seedscribers having a few more videos to go before I have done an episode for everyone. TheMabeanie might become a more pleasant channel with videos that I want to make actually going there. Friday Night Fun in general has been struggling to get views, but I think that it's because of the games that I'm choosing to play. I have a video idea, but will probably go on to TheMabeanie.
Anyway, that's your update.
See Ya!

The kind of Supercars videos that I want to make.
I don't know if the idea came through in my Supercars retirement video, but my videos will not be just my opinion, but an argument based on things that I have learned from doing research, watching relevant videos, reading articles, and looking at race results.
Retirement is a topic close to my heart. Early on, when I started learning about the drivers and teams in late 2016, I realised that things don't always work out well for drivers.
That video idea did not come easily either, so this time around is just as difficult.
I don't want to just spout my opinion. Anybody can do that.
I want to make videos that get to the heart of an issue and engage people in a way that helps them think more critically and impartially (or as impartial as possible) about things.
The five topics that I've done this past week are:
Last time it was Craig Lowndes' retirement announcement that saw be burn through a day writing the essay. I don't know what I can do except to just keep at it.
I figured that I should write down what I want in my videos, so there you go.
See Ya!

- what it's like to be a fan of Supercars
- Supercars.com sucks
- the Foxtel deal with Supercars
- is Supercars dying?

Have I been meeting the plan?
Hey guys,
The transitions across my three channels, but especially MrMabeanie, have been slow. Despite this, I am staying true to the plan. I will now list how Friday Night Fun has been going, since it has been uploaded on both TheMabeanie and MrMabeanie. This month, it will be on both channels with either 2 episodes on each channel or 3 on TheMabeanie. So here we go, a list of my Friday Night Fun episodes across the board since and including June 2018:
June 2018 (episodes on TheMabeanie to get people warmed up to the idea)
IHNT hard questions - 15th June, on MrMabeanie.
Angry V8s - 22nd June, on TheMabeanie.
Realisation and Davison - 29th June, on TheMabeanie.
I launched the plan on the 20th of June.
July 2018 (100% episodes on MrMabeanie)
Thanks Lowndesy - 6th July, on MrMabeanie.
Was busy working on my Supercars retirement video.
August 2018 (75% episodes on MrMabeanie)
Sydney SuperNight game - 3rd August, on TheMabeanie.
Fords only - 17th August, on MrMabeanie.
Hard fought - 24th August, on MrMabeanie.
Fun but then not - 31st August, on MrMabeanie.
The main thing that I do is upload the episode onto TheMabeanie so that I am staying committed to the plan, whether or not there are any episodes for the rest of the month.
I will probably do two Fridays in a row on TheMabeanie for this month. I don't have any plans for those days, although I might go out for drinks with mates. Who knows.
Nevertheless, so far so good for the plan. I haven't uploaded the parts of Ihasnotomato and I's discussion about the essay-type videos that we both now do, but Mabeanie2 will get those videos starting on the week of the 26th of September at the earliest.
I'm organising my time to focus on the various things that I do these days: applying for jobs, working on my comic, working on Supercars videos, and posting videos onto YouTube. This week is jobs week, then it will be comics, then Supercars (because the Sandown 500 is on the 16th), and finally videos. I still post AIM videos, but I'm not working on any other video - no matter how much I want to do it. Whenever I get an idea for a Supercars video, you can bet that I'm writing that down.
That's everything that I have for you now.
See Ya!

Difficulties with Seedscribers
Hey guys,
I spent part of today writing the descriptions for a bunch of Seedscribers episodes that will become public in the next few months.
After doing this, I've realised a few things:
The best that I can do is to not make those episodes public and only post episodes for the ones who are publically subbed.
If AIM is not publically subscribed (and I know that it is actually subbed), then either YouTube switched the settings on everybody's subscriptions so that they are all private unless you switch them, or the changes took place in 2011.
Not sure. I will update you on this more if I think of anything else.
See Ya!

After doing this, I've realised a few things:
- I have 86 subscribers total
- 51 public subscribers
- 65 Seedscribers episodes (35 who are still subbed)
- 4 public subscribers that I'm not doing (my own channels)
- 11 episodes to record
