Hey all! Just thought I'd write up a post for everything I'm planning this month! I had a great Thanksgiving with the family, celebrated my girlfriend's 24th Birthday and I'm back for a couple days before I head to California for a 5 day vacation. With Christmas and the New Year approaching, it'll be a hectic period to get some videos out!

Just wanted to make a quick post saying sorry for not posting a newsletter about my plans for this month. Once December 1st rolls around I will let you guys in on all the fantastic ideas and directions I'm gonna take the channel in.
But to tide you over, I've got a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review that I'm working on, Gears of War 1 Review that I am gonna revive after I put it on the backburner for Modern Warfare and a video about "The Decline of Gaming."
Just a quick little po...

Thought I'd get in the rhythm of writing these newsletters on the 1st of each month. Here are my video plans for October.
Modern Warfare Beta Review
Meant to get this video out in September but I got sick and other factors got in the way. But I am currently working on it and I'm going to be collaborating with a few YouTubers on this one. RennsReviews, Zanny, Eight Thoughts and maybe I Hate Everything. Will be presented in a sort of news...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that in my next video, the Banjo-Kazooie review, I will be shouting out the names of all patrons that donate $15 or more and have been successfully charged. I will also list everyone else, just not verbally. I want to do this for at least 1 video a month, if not every video.
I am going to be consistent with this moving forward. Just wanted to let you all know. Thanks for the endless support!!

Whatsup everybody? A new month means new plans for videos so let me tell you what I'm working on.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Review
This video has been in the works for a long time and is nearing completion. It's going to be one of my best reviews yet and will be uploaded sometime this weekend!
Banjo-Kazooie Review
Since the early days of my channel when I'd use Banjo-Kazooie & Banjo-Tooie music in my videos, this is something...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I am in the process of revamping the Patreon. Updating goals, rewards, tiers, descriptions, all that good stuff. I am also going to start integrating a credits sequence at the end of certain (or most) of my videos with a list of names of patrons.
There's a bunch of stuff I am working on improving so keep an eye on the page and let me know what you think of the changes!

Heyooo! I am back from vacation and now it's time to get into my groove. I've had plenty of time to think about the direction of the channel this month and my plans for videos so lemme lay it down for you.

My first project is going to be covering the reveal and discussing where Modern Warfare seems to be headed. I'm currently pouring over the stream, information and trailers as I ...

Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that I did not finish my E3 video prior to the weekend like I wanted to. However, I will be working on that today so I can get it posted tomorrow. I also have my thoughts on Halo Infinite that I am working on, I am leaving for another weekend trip Thursday night so I will get those two videos out before I head out!
Just wanted to give a quick update because if I ever don't meet my goals then I still want to be transparent about it. I still want to ...

Hey hey! Act Man is back and I've been busy. Here are the things I'm working on for the month of June. After my previous post about struggling with work, I am feeling REALLY good about what I've got planned for this month and my ability to meet those goals. If you've seen my most recent post, then you know I am also going to upload some new channel art when I hit 600,000 subscribers!

Yooo!!! I have been working with PixelflareGFX (aka Wangtimeeee/Will) on some new art for the channel. We've been going back and forth on it for the last 6+ months or so. It has been a long road and the reason it has taken so long is that Will is very particular about his art. His work is among the best in the business when it comes to YouTube channel art & icons so I'm eternally grateful that he was able to get this done for me.
I wanted to know your thoughts on the banner an...

Hey all, there is something that has been on my mind and bothering me for a long time that I would like to talk about. I feel like for the longest time I've been posting newsletters and my future video plans to all of you wonderful fans & patrons, yet I almost ALWAYS fail to meet my own goals.
I've reasoned my constant failure to meet deadlines with all manner of excuses:
"Quality over quantity."
"I'll work on this tomorrow, it's late and I'll be more productive then."

Yoyo so I know my plans for last month were far from met and this was due to a bunch of factors, like a new girlfriend and the Modern Warfare 3 video being so damn long. All of which are things I need to be more responsible about so that you all get the content around the time you expect it to be delivered.
I've got an Avengers: Endgame review coming out tomorrow or Friday. That is nearly done and I basically need to make a thumbnail for it. It's a bit of an experimental video which I h...

Heyo! Another month, another update post!
First off, I'm super happy that I got the Modern Warfare 2 video out along with the MCC PC video. So at this point I basically have a clean slate and can continue to work on other projects I have put on the backburner.
For starters, I am working on a Modern Warfare 3 review and have been getting footage, writing the script, etc. You have probably seen me playing the game quite a bit recently. That will come out probably near the end of Apr...

Yoyo! Ya boi is back with another update post.
So I'm all moved in and everything is all good in my personal life. Sometimes I slack off but right now I'm gonna be grinding a lot of videos out for the main and second channel. Here's what I got planned.
Wanted to review COD 4 but then I realized I am much more familiar with Modern Warfare 2 and so I decided to work on that review first. So hopefully I can get that cranked out and done by Sunday. Fingers Crossed!!

Greetings! I've finally moved into my new place and with it I have a whole new freedom to create videos, to try things I've never tried before, to host custom game nights whenever I want, to stream whenever I want. I have as much freedom as I want to now and with that, here are my plans for the month of February.
I have just finished moving which has put me back on editing, then my brother came into town so I've been spending time with him, and finally I got sick for the last 3 days. Ba...

Ahoy hoy! Happy New Year to all and hope you had a Merry Christmas as well!
First things first, I am moving into a new house on the 15th! So I've been working really hard getting all that shit figured out while still trying to work on videos and find time to game.
Because of this, my plans for this month won't be too extravagant but I do have some important announcements.
For one, I've added a "question for Act Man" channel on the patreon discord. I did this because I have d...

I recently got Jmak to help edit videos for the 2nd channel which means I can pump out content there on a more regular basis in between the bigger uploads on the main channel.

Hey all! Just wanted to update you guys on current video projects and all that real quick.
Dead Space 1 video was posted a few days ago and that one took a lot out of me so it'll be a while before the next big review is out.
I wanted to finish the Halo 2 Legendary playthrough this month but I still haven't recorded any of the last 3 missions. Hopefully I can get at least 2 episodes out!
I have a video response to a guy who shits on video games and it'll be explained better wh...

Yo yo! Getting to writing this 8 days into October so my bad. Got some good stuff planned and of course some of it will inevitably get posted next month. I always seem to overestimate what I can do in a month.
Anyways, I got this Black Ops 3 video that I'm working on. Probably not gonna finish and post it before the 12th, which is when Black Ops 4 comes out but I will see what I can do! It's gonna be a big one...

Yo yo just a quick update on where I'm at with things.
So PAX was winding down, I was interested in this girl and things didn't pan out, some other personal shit hit me and now I've come down with a cold. So what I'm trying to say is a bunch of stuff has been happening that has been distracting me from videos. BUT I have the Q & A video all done and ready to post.
Currently cranking out this Black Ops 2 review which will be out next weekend. Also got a PAX video in the works that'll ...

I just had an idea that really clicked. So every month I write an update post about future videos, where I'm at with things, etc. And hopefully if you want to stay updated you read those posts :P
But I thought it would also be great if I wrote an update post halfway through each month! I always think that my obligations in terms of content creation are inspired by you guys. So by writing these goals down and sharing them with you, it inspires me more to make sure I buckle down and do it. It do...
