September Update

  Hey gang! 

Popping in with another update to let you know some of the stuff to expect in the near future. I normally post these as the month ends, but I'm more aware of the fact that I won't have another video out in the next couple days. Truth is, after the Kingdom Hearts video, I was kinda spent. I'd been working on full video production for projects since the Monkey Island video, and didn't even hit my deadline for KH because of the workload, so I sort of stepped off the gas to get some rest and make sure my future content was sorted. Next month I'll have at least two new videos out, but have also prepared a little laundry list of stuff to prepare for the next couple months, either getting back to projects I promised before, or some of those new ideas that have come to me in the break.

 So, a recap of what's officially planned, some you know about from previous posts, and some you don't-

 - Love Halloween, and love making videos related to it, and I have two things coming your way to prove that. The first is a Notes On video (which has already been recorded) discussing something to do with Disney villains, in a medium i've never covered before. The second, as promised, is a sequel to a much loved video from last Halloween. Not too difficult to figure out what those are!

- Crash 4 is right around the corner and I'm very excited to play it, and hopefully won't be too hard to get my thoughts formed into a video. Will it also be out in October? Probably a tight fit, but will definitely have something done by November. 

 - Another short video game series retrospective- similar to the Monkey Island one, but with a very different message. It's on a series everyone tells me I should cover, and one I've always wanted to cover. Hoping this is complete before the end of the year. Don't expect anything too grand, it's gonna be a pretty small project.

- I feel like Spidey has to be the next thing. I'll be putting my energies into that video when this stuff is off my plate. Probably next year I imagine, but not something I want to put off much longer. 

- In an update earlier this year I discussed how I'd been writing another comic book retrospective, about another Marvel comic, this time in the form of a series. I'm delighted to say I've leapt back into that and am basically in the process of getting a rough draft finished for every episode. Will still be a while until you see it, probably early next year like the FF video, but it's looking good so far. 

 It's very possible that, in-between everything officially written down here, I might have an idea for other quick Beyond Words or Notes On videos (I'm hoping the halloween one will show how i'm thinking about opening up its format), but I think it's a pretty tight run of stuff to be getting on with otherwise. I've been doing a lot of video game stuff and a part of me wants to ease off and cover other mediums over the next year, just to re address the balance. I also have no idea if I even have anything for Christmas this year, but if something comes up, you'll be the first to know.

Thanks so much for the support and for sticking with me through this. There's so much more to say and I hope you'll enjoy what's coming. Stay safe, be well, and i'll see you guys at the next video. Lots of work left to do.
