Turns out...there are a LOT of Disney films. Might take me a little longer than planned to watch through them and find my Top 5 Villains. I'll also be writing several other Disney-related lists at the time, so that'll be useful for the future.
Also, just as a note, I'm limiting this list to their animated work. I'm NOT going to watch through the scores of live action films they've done, 95% of which I've never heard. This will also eliminate stuff like Pirates of the Cari...

After announcing my plan to move PokéSins to my website, I've been tight-lipped about WHEN exactly it'll happen. That's because there were a number of technical issues standing between me and that goal, and I didn't want to promise things I might not be able to keep.
One of these issues was the video player plugin on the website not functioning as advertised. This has been mostly fixed. It functions just fine on Chrome, but not so much on IE.
Brace yourselves...I u...

As I'm sure most of you know, I'm moving the PokéSins series to my website. If you aren't aware of this, go check out my State of the Channel 2018 video.
The first step of this move is the Johto episodes. The website isn't ready for the masses yet, but I do plan on uploading all the current Johto episodes to the website very soon. Because of this, I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer before viewing the $10+ episodes.
A couple of them have been ...

If you haven't seen my State of the Channel video yet, go check that out. It's embedded in the post before this one and it's on my YT, so I advise you watch that before reading this.
I outlined my PokéSins plan and those of you who've been reading some recent posts on here will find it familiar. I suggested it just after the New Year, but decided to try finding a YouTube-like monetised site instead. That search went terribly. I was gonna keep searching, but then 11 PokéSin...

Let me tell you, I am LIVID. I have had it with ShoPro's passive-aggressive attitude to me and other creators and I've had it with YouTube's policies which mean it will only sit and watch as its creators get beaten up.

As discussion seems to have stopped on the PokéSins Plans post (although it's not too late to catch up or leave thoughts), I thought it safe to move onto the Patreon Tweaks I mentioned in that post.
I try not to change things too often on here so you guys have the sense of stability that's important for monthly pledges. As its been a little while since I changed/added some stuff, I think it's okay for me to reopen discussions. There are a number of tweaks I'd like to mak...

If you've been following my G-Logs on PokéSins for the last few months, you'll know where we are; ShoPro isn't responding and the series has ground to a halt. I've been thinking very long and hard about how to move forward with the series and I'll be presenting you all...

A LOT of people (including me) signed a petition on change.org, adding to the overwhelming public dislike of the change, so Patreon have agreed to keep the payment system as it is.
As far as I know I didn't lose any pledges because of it, but if that's mistaken, there are no hard feelings. Patreon is staying as it is, so pledging even $1 a month is a g...

By now you should all have received an email regarding the changes to Patreon. I glanced over the email and didn't fully understand it, but I found a couple of places where other Patreon creators explain it. I shall explain it to you here and I understand if your reaction will be to cancel your pledge.
Currently Patreon make their money by taking a cut of the pledges you provide. I don't know the exact figure, but they take about 7-15% each month. This means that if you ...

Don't take this to mean that I've been doing nothing. I present to you: The Vidme Option! Wow, that name isn't as dramatic as I hoped.
Anyway. This is a temporary solution to the blocked videos. Vidme is an alternative to YouTube that cites itself as 'the friendliest to creators' and after browsing their monetisation rules, they may be telling the tr...
