It's actually here + livestream link

What do you mean a fucking badass crowdfunded PC is just sitting in my living room waiting to be unboxed? That is the fakest thing I've ever heard. What the fuck.

I'm unboxing this monster tomorrow, live on stream at Patrons' request. I'm also revealing the PC's name, which you might already know if you keep a sharp eye on the Gaywatch Tumblr. 😉

Livestream info:

When: Tomorrow, Thursday April 29th, 2:30pm EST

'One Year Of Gaywatch' livestream this Friday!

It's a public stream taking place a 2:30pm EST, but I'm making a Patrons Only post in case you guys would like to submit any questions to be answered on-stream. If you do, leave your question down below. <3

Music reactions, anyone?

I technically have a channel for music reactions, but no regular upload schedule or intentions. I pretty much only react to albums by artists  I love enough to be worth effort. Every so often, one of those artists is queer (short list of examples: Halsey, Troye Sivan, Lady Gaga, Amanda Palmer, Tegan & Sarah, Miley Cyrus) and so I had the thought: maybe people on Gaywatch would like to see album reactions for queer artists? 

It wouldn't happen too often, a ...

PC this Wednesday?! Unboxing on Thursday?!?!?!

They tell me the PC will be here sometime on Wednesday! (Which, like, after all I've heard about waiting months  for parts feels super fake but package tracking assures me it's happening anyway??)

So right now the unboxing livestream is scheduled for Thursday the 29th at 2:30pm EST. I'll post the link on Wednesday when the PC actually arrives. (I'm still half convinced Skytech and the postal service are just lying to me for some unknown reason but that's more of a Me problem, lol.)...

Got my dates confused (Livestream update)

When I told you guys about the Gaywatch anniversary livestream, I was under the (deluded) impression that yesterday would have been the 30th. But according to time and space, the 30th is next Friday, which is when the livestream will actually take place.

Many apologies for the confusion!

So that happened??????

Y'all. Yesterday was wild. I just hopped on for a little livestream with the Patrons and then suddenly fundraising goals were hit and another livestream was happening and you met The Wife and the PC was ordered and my cat looks great on camera??????? Blur. All a blur. 

I've run out of ways to say thank you verbally, so I hope whatever the heck that unboxing livestream becomes is a good start to showing my gratitude. 

I'm taking the day off today to recu...

Link for tomorrow's livestream!

It's a casual thing, we're just chatting about Hannibal/Untamed/Star Trek and I can answer questions and give fundraising updates or what have you. It's an excuse to hang out since channel activity will be down until the new PC arrives.

No really, you guys don't even know what 'two week challenge' rewards are yet but here goes Rhast, Jill, Leo, April, Megan, Telethia, Izzy, Hicchan, and an anonymous Patron running off, not just to donate anyway, but to donate a quarter of the entire $2k goal amount?????? WHAT EVEN ARE YOU PE...

Welp, it's happening early. (PC + Livestream)

My plan was to start fundraising for a new PC in June. I'd have a couple of Let's Plays done at that point, Star Trek would be finished, I'd be getting ready to watch Word of Honor, and everything would be neatly in place to start taking donations for a PC that doesn't run like it has ten barbells shackled to its motherboard. 

Last week, my computer stopped being able to boot up reliably. It takes several times (and twice as many hail marys) for it finally start up the way it's sup...

Early Access becomes Extended too

Starting with the Hannibal reaction series, the Early Access videos that Patrons receive on Saturdays will now feature (much) more content than the reactions uploaded to Youtube. 

I've mentioned in other posts how I avoid putting content behind a paywall whenever I possibly can. Well, thanks to Youtube I can't completely avoid that option anymore. Here's why:

These days, getting somewhere on Youtube depends on a channel's Watch Time (ie: how long people watch your videos). Vi...

The votes are in: Word of Honor gets bumped up!

With a little less than half of the vote in, the margin of WoH's lead is so ridiculous that waiting for the second half of the vote would basically be a waste of time.

The Word of Honor reaction starts in June! That's a little over two months and counting. And in the meantime, Hannibal and Untamed shenanigans will abound. 🌈🌈🌈

Official announcement to be made on the Youtube Community page very soon. 😘

A new short series in June, or Word of Honor?

Listen, everyone and their dog has been telling me about Word of Honor. I hear about it at LEAST five times a day. It's hilarious. (And to the show's credit, it does indeed sound fantastic.)

So, in a way, this feels like a very silly poll in that it seems to be a foregone conclusion. But I can only hear 'you should react to Word of Honor!' so many times before it becomes bad Youtubing to simply put it in the queue and wait for it to turn up like every other show. This would mean the soo...
