My workcation was AWESOME, first of all. I wasn't able to get weeks ahead and all that, but I did get a good amount of work done. I really like the way the Wii tenth anniversary video turned out, it was fun to tell some of those stories about my time working at a game store. (That's a source of humor that I need to tap into more sometime; lots of funny stuff happened at that store.) I was able to record quite a lot of Wind Waker, probably enough to last me through the end of the year. I spent most of my time working on the mysterious project known as Zelda Action Theater. I've actually got most of it done, just waiting on a few things to come together so I can finish up the last bits and wrap it all up. Not sure exactly when that will be, but I want it to be this month for sure. It's looking really great and I can't wait to share it with everybody.
As for other stuff in December, the only really solid thing I've got at the moment is "How the Switch Could Ruin EVERYTHING," which I just decided I need to make a priority. It will be the perfect sister video to my other one, and it will be interesting to go over aaaallllll the different ways Nintendo could potentially drop the ball. A little more negative than the other one, obviously, but I feel it's an important part of the Switch discussion.
Doing something Christmasy would be cool, but I've got nothing solid yet. The only idea I've got--which I'm not sure will happen this year--is a video explaining why Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is the "best" Christmas movie ever. If you haven't seen it, it's this terrible old movie that's really hilarious. If I look I'm sure I'll see that everyone's already done it, but I guess I'm somewhat interested in dipping my toes into the whole bad movie thing. Just an idea though, got to see what happens.
I know that's not a ton of stuff planned, but hopefully some other stuff will fall into place and I'll be able to make this Switch video in a somewhat timely manner. It's a little lame but I might have to put out another Wind Waker highlight reel to fill the slot this week unless I can think of something else short and easy or unless I just really blast through the Switch video.
Whatever the case, stay tuned! I'm pretty far from my goal of 100k subscribers by the end of the year, especially considering my channel's in something of a lull as far as that goes, but I think another decent Switch video plus Zelda Action Theater (which I think could turn out really great) plus something else good if I'm lucky will get those numbers moving again. I've got to try, at least!
Well many many thanks to all my new patrons, and I'll catch you later!

I really like Snickers bars. If the Switch ruins everything... does that mean Snickers bars will stop being delicious?

I am rather curious about this "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" thing; I feel like I should know about it, but it's not ringing any bells for me...
Yeah, another video like the Paper Mario one will send you over the goal. But no matter how December pans out, you still accomplished a lot this year. That is something to be proud of.

I'm hoping that the Switch doesn't ruin everything Arlo lol. Though, in some ways you might be right.... SO I am very excited for that video as it sounds like a really relevant video to make at this time. I always appreciate your input and your passion on the subject! :)
Arlo
For sure, I'm hoping I can cover the system a ton before and after release.

Switch videos are hot and will be hot next year. Having videos that people will find when searching and watching will give a huge push in viewership. Alro, on top of several discussion videos on the Switch between now and March, consider a 'Should I Buy The Switch' to come out just before the Switch release. Go through all the reasons gamers, casuals and non-gamers might have for and against getting a switch. But wait until we know everything and push it out just before the Switch is released. That might be a video that gets you a lot of views.

Ideas for videos: I'd love to see 'Arlo Remembers' about your time gaming and working in a game store. But also, Arlo Recommends which talks about videos and articles online that you recommend people check out. Both of these would be good filler content. In the future, I definitely want to see Switch games and Switch indie games on the eShop reviewed and discussed as you have done with Steam. I'll watch you PS4 videos and probably enjoy them. But I've never owned a non-Nintendo console, so that will have limited run for me. I also love 'Gamers Briefs' but I know those are harder to make.
I think the switch video will give you the boost you need to reach 100k.

I'll be excited for anything Switch-related. Bring it on!

Arlo + negativity + Nintendo = what I live for (for now). I can't wait!
