THE LATEST
Updates, announcements & information! :D
September 18th, 2022
It's been a long LOOONNGG time! How are ya?
Let me give you the run down of the main things that have changed and transpired over the last NEARLY 5 years.
When I last was here, I noted multiple times how my power supply fan in my old original system would constantly scream and I had to compete with it. Overall, that system was complete crap. Fortunately, in the winter of 2018, I got a brand new custom built PC, with me selecting all the parts to it, to which I of course I am using currently. It's custom made to be a gaming & light production rig, nothing too over the top, out there or fancy, but just enough to hold it's own with most things, while leaving plenty of room for expansion and further bolstering it's capabilities. I got a AMD Radeon RX 580 gPU, a AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Octocore CPU & 32GB RAM. Dual Monitors became a thing as well (FINALLY!) as I wanted to ensure I covered as many bases as I could with the upgrade.
Of course by this point I was only uploading videos intermittently, namely as I simply have always disliked editing, for it's tedious, boring & slow.
I seriously gotta say it again, to all those who actually enjoy if not have a passion for editing, I salute & appreciate you guys. Thank you for what you do. You seriously take a big burden off of content creators backs, and ensure they don't lose as much, if any motivation to continue to make & output their content for all to enjoy. You got a crucial, thankless yet to many like myself, incredibly tedious, boring job, that you love. With that said, after a short while, the main group I played with kind of just... drifted their own directions, and I found myself realizing quickly that once you play with other fun people, it kind of becomes challenging to find the same level of motivation to continue to play games with a high enthusiasm and energy. That's something I learned pretty quickly at that point. You can have all the motivation in the world, excitement & joy, passionately playing games & creating your content by yourself, but once you play for awhile with fun people, you suddenly lack the levels of it all returning back to solo play. It's rather unfortunate and sad, but, its just how it goes as it turns out, at least, for some of us. So, intermittent uploads wound up becoming anywhere from 10 videos in a year to 25-40 a year for me.
In March 2018, I & my mom moved into a apartment together, where I currently still live. New digs meant a new setup, and this really was when & where the drifting apart came into play for the core group we had for the last year or so. I disappeared from the group for a few months after dealing with finding a place to move to, then prep for it, then the move itself, and of course, we had no internet for nearly a month or so in the apartment too, so that had to wait. A few other things delayed me getting back into discord and letting them all know what happened and where I had been, while leading to a little longer delay on uploads returning.
Because of the seldom uploads, but also within the last couple years, beginning to upload some commentary videos, and using facecam consistently, you can observe and watch the background shift & change over time, which could be a fun little adventure in itself through to now.
Back on track, as of the end of 2018, I found myself in a pretty deep emotional and mental slump, one of which I'd never experienced before, so I've came to refer to it as "the one time I may have experienced a genuine depression". As I never had depression before, it's hard to genuinely label it as one, but, from what I felt and my own personal first hand experiences with family who experience depression, I believe it was one.
That said, it lead eventually to a epiphany in my life, as to what I need to do. It gave me a passionate idea and concept of something I am now committed to creating in the future once I've got myself on solid foundations and have true financial freedom - create a community center, which is focused on the creative arts, most specifically film. IT would be a large building, a complex of sorts, where the building would have film studios, editing/production suites, quiet areas for those who wish to relax, study, do work/homework, write, read, draw, etc, some rooms for meetings and the like, and of course, outdoors would have some sets, a workshop, and of course the natural landscape itself for filming different scenes and styles. It would have ALL the professional, necessary equipment for all to be able to use. It would be open 24/7, 365 to all.
I know for a fact and sincerely believe that EVERYONE can do anything they have a passion for. It does not take experience, schooling, teachers, masterclasses, mentors, studying, etc. The only reason people who have passions, in this case in film, never see any success or notoriety, is because they lack the means apply their passions. That's it. They're missing the gear. The tools. The means. Without the tools and means, how the hell can anyone do anything ever? That's exactly why I know that's all that prevents them from becoming elite at their passions. Thus why I strongly desire to ensure I create these community centers for the arts, again, namely around film. Elite skilled actors, directors, writers, producers, editors, artists, makeup, wardrobe, lighting, technicians, etc inevitably will be coming out of these community centers, because all they need to be legends, is living their passions to the fullest.
By 2020, I recognized something else that I had in my epiphany at the end of 2018 - I knew what I needed to do to finally get off the ground and build my own life & independence - I needed to get a car, and why not do something like DoorDash? It'd be perfect for me.
At the end of 2020, and through the beginning of 2021, me, my brother Mario & our friend Randy began playing games together, specifically 7 Days To Die (7D2D), which I recorded and uploaded.
In 2021, My eldest brother Nathan died (to which he showed up in a few videos), and quickly followed by my Grandma. Ever since the rest of my family has been in a deep funk and rut, fighting depression, while I somehow as usual, manage to stay in fairly high spirits, and be as normally me as ever. I certainly experience my sadness in light of him being gone, I love him, he's my bobo, the Orangarilla, but, it doesn't mean I'm getting bogged down by it either. Far from it. Never known why I'm like that. But in a way, I do rather appreciate it.
I started my Trip Reports & Outdoors channel Trippin' Outdoors in February of 2021. I continued making content for it, until the weather began to shift, and more specifically, I began to focus more heavily on exercising consistently, going for daily walks or playing basketball. As a result, content on my main channel, TheCriminalViolin, really sluffed off again.
Yet also in 2021, a friend of mine, Al (Portland's Transport on YouTube) became my first and only Patreon and requested that I make a monthly political commentary. So I... did. My instant reaction was "Ooohhhh god... why..." haha. But I did it anyway. As a expressive guy, never afraid to share his opinions & perspectives, including when unprompted (yes I can be that guy), it did make sense. So off I went with that. I decided to stop doing my monthly political commentaries as of August of 2022 however, and only do them when I decide I want to do so. OF course political commentary is not the only form of commentary I output, as I give breakdowns as well of various things, which fairly often will include NBA related topics. I've been outputting occasional commentaries on YouTube since 2020, with my "podcast" Chatterbox.
By summer of 2021, I finally began to push forward with urgency toward my goals of owning a car, getting my license and beginning work as a doordash driver. Getting my license and doing that will also open MANY doors to future opportunities and goals of mine, including allowing me to go further, wherever, whenever when it comes to the adventures I share with the world on Trippin' Outdoors, which is extremely exciting and motivating! It of course also allows me & my mom to be able to quickly commute to run errands, visit family, or even take me or her to appointments and the like, which itself is of course a huge boon.
As of this year, 2022, I've managed to make good progress on that front, though slower than desired, as I obtained a car as of April, and got my permit as of June, and completed my lessons as of August. Now I just need to do a little more practice to get more familiar and comfortable, developing needed habits, and to get that license! Then... I can take the time to do the paperwork to get the new plates, registration, tags, insurance, pass it through DEQ... lol. But hey, i'm mighty thankful it's all happening and progress is being made, even if it's much slower than desirable. WE'RE GETTING THERE AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS! Woo!
So that's the main things that have transpired since 2017!
In all likelihood me, Mario & Randy will be back to making some more 7D2D content again once Alpha 21 releases in 2070, so you can look forward to that!
I've picked up Cities: Skylines again with the release of Plazas & Promenades, as I'm such a huge transit whore and planning nerd that is keenly focused on his own version of utopia with pedestrians & BRT as the main modes of transit throughout the entire city & metro area, and it adds in pedestrian roads!!! WOO! Exciting! So you likely can look forward to that too!
Other than all that, I think that's about it! 7+ years on YouTube man... it's wild! Here's to many more! (unless I get banned because of my abhorrent, evil, indefensible "wrong think", of horse };^) )
Stay safe out there, and live your lives to the fullest, no regrets, no hesitation! Dive in baby & enjoy the flow!

HOWDY YA'LL! (But seriously, how're you all doing?)
Since I last checked in I finished up my little bit of work experience at the animal shelter, OFOSA, my first official taste of non-home work lol. It was a rollercoaster of feelers and experience, and the vlog I did on it ended up unintentionally turning into a weird bind of vlog and documentary. So, I stuck to my guns, edited it, and posted it. So if you wish to join me in my Vlogumentary work experience (help) then go right ahead. Here's the link to the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYRZFwlA72g
Now that that is said, I already had another job interview. This one not near as far in terms of commute as the other - I can easily walk this one within 5 or so minutes. I would say this interview went really well as well, and honestly, I think this job will work out for me. They have more willingness, ability and time than OFOSA to be able to give me the time to learn the tricks of the trade, and to gradually gain the speed necessary to do the job proficiently. They seem as though they overall were at least curious and intrigued, if not interested in me as a potentially prospect of an employee, and they need about three new people, including ones willing to stick around rather than just use it as a "in-between" job, as most have done through it's presence. Regardless, they made sure I knew that they would be in contact with me in the coming few days. Cool beans.
NEXT - I want to talk about getting myself back on track (hopefully) with youtube.
On Friday, I joined Jackie, better known as FlameKnight7, on his every friday community GMod public stream. You can watch the strim hurr: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWSZY3IVhIE
I want to restart livestreaming at somepoint in the near future. I really do. They're actually substantially easier to do, no editing, uploading, etc required, you get to interact with everyone who joins up live, right there in the moment, I mean there is a lot to why livestreaming is just quicker, simpler and easier, sometimes even more fun than recording. And in general, I enjoy the overall aspect of them usually just a bit more too. But as for in general getting back on track with uploads, etc, as usual, I'm not sure. If I get this job, and am able to keep it, I'll naturally have substanially less time to do so, but if I don't, then a large portion of time will be to search for, and apply and other jobs. If only I could locate a improv & voice acting job somewhere close by! Haha, god that'd be flipdickin' rad. Boot anyway.
So there is a lot there to think about, "strategist" and figure out. Also I should add that I've really been considering making a partial swap over to twitch for livestreams in the hope of nabbing an affiliate, and perhaps and hopefully eventually gaining a partnership. That'd be super rad. With the state of YouTube today, it's honestly a potentially more viable option now. Also am looking into starting up my vid.me channel too, and if I can finally get a new, beastly, mega-powerful PC built, I can actually dual, tri, or quad strim teh vidja yames. OH YUH. But that's not within my forseeable future. But I will achieve it soon! You butter beeleaf it!
And finally, I want to talk just a bit on Puerto Rico, Cuba & Hurricane Maria.
At first, in fact, for quite awhile after PR & Cuba got near-annihilated by Maria, most people in the US were silent on the subject. Then suddenly, they all decided they had to help them and cared. Why? Because they got notified it's an "American territory".
I have problem with that. It's disturbing. The large swath of people that suddenly decided they cared & should help Puerto Rico only decided they should because of nationalism. Because "they're Americans too".
Who cares if they're American or not? Who cares if they're Hispanic, African, dutch or Indian? White or Black? Gay, or asexual? Fly a Puerto Rican, American or Russian flag? They're in desperate need of aid, help and support, hands on and in all other ways. That's why you should care, that's why it matters. It should never matter or be a concern or focus if or if not a country is under a certain jurisdiction & flag.
Another concern I have that disturbs me is the sheer lack of any attention or care at all going to Cuba after Hurricane Maria. They also got ripped apart by Hurricane Maria. Maria did one hell of a number on them too. Why Only Puerto Rico? From how the response went from near-nothing to suddenly loads for Puerto Rico only after it was reiterated that PR was an American territory lends a hand to the likely fact that that is why Cuba is getting little to zero attention & support after Maria. Because they're not American to Americans. Sickening, wrong, immoral, pathetic and inhumane. Just honestly despicable. It's horrible. Cubans need just as much care, help, aid & support they can gain as Puerto Rico does post-Maria. And yet, no one seems to give a damn at all. Not even all those with family there. Miami, New York, LA... the three main "strongholds" of Cuban families. And not a squeak about Cuba from most of them. You hear WAY more from people with family in Mexico still to this day after the substantial earthquakes they had a few weeks ago. But Cuba? Crickets. I sit and wait, even search just a bit for any news or charity aid sites for Cuba after Maria. Still not a thing to this very day. It's sad. It's disheartening. IT's honestly wrongful too. How can people be so incredibly narrow minded in where they put their attention and have so little care in them? Be so incredibly particular and specific with the people they're willing to aid? Puerto Rico? Sure, because "they're American!" But Cuba? Jamaica? Venezuela? Zimbabwe? Thailand? Indonesia? Russia? Estonia? Tonga? Insert other non-American nation here not named England/UK? WELL F**K THEM, THEY'RE JUST LAZY AND DON'T DO S**T FOR THEMSELVES." This is the majority of American sentiment. It's beyond words how abhorrent it is. So little if any care & damns given to those not considered American enough to them. Yet more proof of how toxic & dangerous Nationalism really is. It most often causes this exact mentality in the country's people. Arrogant, self-absorbed, "I-don't-give-a-damn-about-anyone-but ourselves" mentalities and people. The proof here in the US is in the pudding as they say. It's been blatant for decades upon decades, in fact, technically even our entire existence ever since July 4th, 1776.
My point for bringing this latter part up is to hopefully get people to start to realize that nationalist focus Americans is inhibiting the ability to care & willingness to aid others in just as dire need from Maria as Puerto Rico, and to hopefully get people to equalize their care & focus on both Cuba & PR in their time of dire need. Here I will finally put charity links so you can help Cuba ANd Puerto Rico as best you can:

I hope you all stay safe & enjoy your day & night wherever you are! That's it for this update of sorts! See ya on the other side!
It's been a long LOOONNGG time! How are ya?

The proof here in the US is in the pudding as they say. It's been blatant for decades upon decades, in fact, technically even our entire existence ever since July 4th, 1776.
My point for bringing this latter part up is to hopefully get people to start to realize that nationalist focus Americans is inhibiting the ability to care & willingness to aid others in just as dire need from Maria as Puerto Rico, and to hopefully get people to equalize their care & focus on both Cuba & PR in their time of dire need. Here I will finally put charity links so you can help Cuba ANd Puerto Rico as best you can:

I hope you all stay safe & enjoy your day & night wherever you are! That's it for this update of sorts! See ya on the other side!
September 9/10th, 2017 (I haven't gone to bed yet, so I consider this still the 9th, even though the clock is ticked in at past 1am)
Hello, my name is Mrs. Doubtfire my dear! no? Okay fine, ruin the fun why don't you? Haha oh boy. Welp, here I is, back in the update cabin after updating this site just moments prior to writing this here update with a new page you very likely noticed (or perhaps ended up on this website of sorts). I wrote a letter to Hurricane Irma evacuees and also to all others afflicted by disasters as of now, in the past, and of course, in the future. I actually made said insta post with a meme (a Spongebob meme of all possible kinds believe it or not, as that's by far the most common at current time for Irma memes for some reason unknown. Though this is far aside the point lol) joking about Irma using perhaps one of the most memorable moments in a Spongebob episode, at school, Patrick & Spongebob whispering to each jokes. Nevertheless, I explain why I chose to use a meme making a joke about said impending "doom" on Florida on said page here on the site, and you can even see why if you read my sort open letter to the evacuees.
Hurricane Harvey. Wildfires and Teenage Belligerence-caused fires rages all over here on the west coast - some out of control entirely without any opportunity to gain an advantage. Now Hurricane Irma is about to make landfall on Florida and might just head due north directly through the middle of the state. Earthquakes are beginning to rumble all around the world, including fairly sizable ones. Other disasters having fun ravaging elsewhere on earth. It's a mess. But we shall shuttle onward as per usual. It's been crazy lately. But as always we find a way to cruise onward.
Meanwhile general life has been,,, erratic? Probably the best term to use for the lack there of better ones. That's of course speaking of my life as of late. And let me tell you, I've somehow managed to consistently edit and upload videos except once because of a truly weird, off and plain chaotic week - and the other most recently because I had completely lost track of time somehow. But overall, I've maintained over the last month while life has been as I stated - erratic. In fact, as of today, things really seem to be beginning to go upward for me - in possibly the sharpest upward look I've ever experience in my life so far.
My sister's friend since 6th grade now owns and manages a local shelter in my hometown (technically not a town, but a CDP, but shhh TELL NO ONE) where I grew up for 17 1/2 years and my heart forever resides, and she's more than willing to allow me to become an official part-time or full-time employee there! I LOVE animals, and have since I was born - literally - always wanted to be with and work with the furred, feathered, scaled, shelled... you named it animal kind (we're animals too mind you). It truly does sound like I'm going to get the job. It's not at all a glamourous one, but not exactly a "dirty" job or grunt work job either. Cleaning up & out kennels, cages, pens, floors, washing pups & fuzzschnitzles, giving all da pets and da butters, and skritches - oh and of course holding a nice conversation with them naturally! Haha. Animals, especially goats and abandoned, uncared for & stray cats have always had an affinity for me. In fact we once had tried to take in a abandoned beauty with the biggest, softest, kindest, most buttery heart you've ever seen that had found me, and of course I automatically claimed her, and "adopted" her lol. I somehow managed to convince my parents that we should totally keep her (so soft and da floof was so stronk, so plush, so royally supreme, oh yis). After a short while however, we noticed she was showing consistently strong signs of having Feline Leukemia. We naturally we're going to take her into the vet as soon as possible before officially adopting and introducing her to our fairly extensive fur fam at the time. But this gave us even more reason to do so - and to worry as there is no way to cure it, and only comforting while giving her expensive, constant treatments to attempt to keep it at bay was a choice. So we set off to get her to the vet. And our suspicions were confirmed. The kitty I had affectionately named already - Lovey - due to her endless amount of affection and love - had to be put down. That was easily the most happy yet painful span of time having a new member of the fur fam for me. Loved that fluffy ball of love to bits and pieces, still do. I miss her so much to this very day.
And there have been plenty of other incidents with fuzzballs showing up to gain plenty of skritches & pets and love from me. And whatever bit of care I could give - from setting out food & water for the fuzzies, to making a bit of a makeshift, blue-collar "warming/sleeping shelter" from an old Costco box and inserting a perfect sized blanket in it in the winter so they could get warm and hopefully stay dry. I would only place it against the house too for that extra warmth and protection from the rains.
And I've had so many critters in my life so far, I occasionally forget I had hampsters for a time haha. And I stopped counting before we got our last fuzz. I could probably figure out just how many critters I've had around me in my lifetime if I gave the time & effort, but alas, I am far too tired right now as it is now 2am. Giggity.
Nevertheless, I would certainly say I am fit for the job too, not just motivated and ready to get down to the work before I've even had an interview - or applied haha. So insert excitement in there too.
I've never had a job, and frankly, I've actually wanted one lately, and boy have I need one bad since really I turned 18. But I digress. The age old phrase comes to mind - "Those who wait patiently have good things come to them. Those who don't wonder why." I suppose that somehow my be at least somewhat applicable for said situation, eh? Maybe? Yeah? Nah? Ah well, let's have a dance with an owl while talking with a shrew and laughing with another lunatic. Sounds fantastic to me. *goes by self anyway*
I ramble okay? Please, leave the applause until after the show. Yes, in fact after I, the guy doing the show, leaves. It's just... look I... you know what? Have a donut. DON'T SAY KAL- DAMN YOU!
(but srsly i luf u :3 <3
....too weird? too weird. Agreed. sorry.)
Anyhooser, yeah! I know I had a few other things to note here, but alas, my brain is LONG gone! lol. I need to go to bed clearly. Rightio, well, off I go, sheeperino! (See what I di- yeah... actually that really wasn't impressive or remotely funny at all. but I'm depressing like that. Yeah, I definitely got this "selling yourself" thing down pat now. TOTALLY.)
That be it ye scraggly ole seawagons! I be off to bed I be! Have ye shelves a gooOOOooOd Night! Stay safe and stay fluffy as a duck in a super swing in the middle of daytona at twighlight singin' in the moonlight!

Hello, and Happy Hogust 2017 dear Hades And Mentaldish! I am your fair, white, probably brainless insane asylum escapee here to give you the tour of your ferociously rancid coffins, with a free side of parasitic stank! OOOH YEAH!
Okay, maybe not, but hey, I gotta have some fun. I have a issues. Lol. Carrying on...
Now, you might have noticed if you've kept a sneaky eye on my channel, TheCriminalViolin, (or as I more often refer to it when writing of it in the third-person - "TCV", or "the Main Channel"), that there has been much more frequent uploads there again on a fairly consistent basis! Yes! I intended to keep it this way, and I have a good backlog of recordings to do it with too!
I've been doing collab-only recordings and thus videos now (as it's usually the only time I can record without the PSU fan invading the commentary and ruining the Immersion of entertainment), and as a result, I decided to switch near-exclusively to Funny Moments and Highlights videos from the style of which I had most commonly uploaded priorly. Fun times. Also, this has meant the focus swap has resulted in Gmod, CAH, ShellShock Live and Golf With Friends being the major focal points in terms of games played, and content produced. So far, you all seem to enjoy it fairly well.
I am happy that I gave content Another shot, and that my buds were happy to have me along much more often than I had initially been playing with them. It's one hell of a bnlast, given me a lot of new ideas, info, insight and knowledge in gaming, collabs, video ideas, content creation and YouTube in general. It's even resulted in me co-founding the Squeaker Squad - just your run-of-the-mill, men in their 20s squeaking away like a high-pitched Elmo for fun, and to pick on the nerves of our friends, and viewers for those of us that have channels at all.
I also have launched the edits channel I had mentioned I was making in July. A single video inhabits the wonders of the lands of said channel, awaiting the first of eventually many other videos to arrive and play with. Again, I have issues, and I'm proud of them, so just... sigh. Goddamnit.
Anyhooser, as for the job search, I had thought I located a potentially impeccably fitting job for myself, only to unfortunately read all of the various employee and former-employee reviews speaking on how it is a scam-like business as they don't do entirely what they say they do. So it's right back to square one there. Oh, and I should mention (in case I didn't last update, I could check, but I am VERY lazy, fat and white. Actually one of those is a fraud. ANYWAY) My brother Nathan got hired for the job as a frieghter at dollar tree, which I'm almost certain I denoted last update how obvious it was that he'd be hired over everyone else. So again, back to square one. (Though why can't it be circle one? Or Trapezoid 443? I mean honestly, why it haf 2 b dis boreng, sed wae? i cri)
I hope your summer (or winter, I gotchu Southern Hempis) has been going well! I've just been sitting here roasting in the record breaking heat, basting at 350 degrees until nice and golden brown on the outside, and nice juicy and tender on the inside like the fat cow I proudly am as decided at this time. (My mom also said I could be anything I wanted to be, so yes, I can be and am a fat cow, because I decided I was. Thank you very much, and good snob. yes, snob. Not night. Stop. STAHP! STAHP IT!!! NO PLS i fen)

Salutations my dear children of the buttery cob! I am your local dipstick, Danny TheCriminalViolin reporting in! Oh girl OH SNAKE OH DOG! ('cause let's face it, oh boy is too cliché, and who's to say it's a boy or always has to be... okay the beside the point lol)
I got some updates for you, so let's just dive right into 'em!
NuMERO JUAN: I started yet another new channel recently, but have yet to do much more with it seeing as Youtube is being an ass about allowing me to put up channel art for it as I'm using Opera, and it apparently is a unaccepted browser by google for that purpose. So stupid right? Anyway, this new channel will be for random edits. And edits only. Yes, from silly, random eidts of my own videos, to friend's videos, to Markimoo's vids and moments in them, JackSepticEye's vids, etc, etc. It'll be home to my hwat edits, fresh outta the ovens at TCV HQ. Yes Ma'am! AND, I have a few unique sort of edits for fun up my sleeve planned for it's launch as well. WHO LIEK DIDNEY WHORL?! YE?!!! WELL HOW ABOOT A DIDNEY THEMED MOVIE EDIT, IN A MUSICAL FASHION? Yeah? Well yer butts be damned, and they be flappin' with joy 'cause yes, that will be comin'! YESSIR!
Next up, which I should've put first in this update admittedly is HUGELY imperative! Net Neutrality is under HUGE threat TODAY, Wednesday, July 12th, 2017! The FCC & Federal Government are voting today on whether or not to officially enact a new VERY deceptive law that is made purely to KILL Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is EXACTLY what MAKES THE INTERNET FREE IN EVERY WAY FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON ALIVE! This is a absolute fact that is unfortunately very little known. In order to stop this new bill from being enacted and killing the free internet for good, we must fight together against the evil capitalist elites, government officials and corporations attempting to rip away everyone's freedoms on the internet. If this bill gets enacted, there will NEVER be a free internet again, FOR ANYBODY, NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD YOU ARE. IT WILL AFFECT YOU IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, AND IT WILL BE A HUGE NEGATIVE, NOT a positive. So please, share the video below with EVERYONE YOU POSSIBLY CAN, EVERYWHERE YOU POSSIBLY TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD ON WHAT NET NEUTRALITY IS, AND WHY WE ALL NEED TO CARE, BECOME INFORMED AND BAND TOGETHER TO #FIGHTFORTHENET!
Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-imU1xgGC74
And finally, LOTS of gameskeedoodles have been recorded recently with frands, from GMOD to Golf With Your Friends! And, More CAH will of course be coming too. I want to also advise you that I recently recorded a improv skit, in which I had only the most vague idea, and just pushed record on my phone's camera. That was it. No script at all and only the most vague idea, and a sudden recording of what was to be a skit. This skit was recorded within the last few hours (about 4 hours ago), so has not been edited, but I previewed it and almost died, but also laughed at it too. It is both cringey, and funny at the same time, and let me tell you, my phony British aristocrat voice is ON POINT! haha! Yes! So I can't wait to edit it up and get it out to you all! And one more note on the subject of videos - I have three major videos I'll be doing here pretty soon for Maccam. The videos that got Maccam and thus me behind it the recognition immediately was oddly enough, NBA related videos! I didn't expect it, but now it's what the viewers there desire to watch. I will still make videos that are not NBA related (for example, the Let's Talk: The US School System) too, but NBA related vids will remain the primary topic of the videos there for the foreseeable future. And with this said, yes, all three videos I'll be recording for it are indeed NBA related, and, they're fairly ambitious considering the main one of the three is talking on a topic focused on a HOF player that just retired this last season that almost everyone knows whether they watch basketball or not. So, yeah, brace yourselves haha.
But with this, that's about it for the update. I guess I'll add as a side note I applied for a job at our local Dollar Tree, and will be hearing back from them here fairly soon. Might just have my first ever job soon, and if so, I'll be a freighter, which I call a Stocker, and is entertaining to me simply because what do people think of when you say Stocker? Stalker. So, yeah, I'll have lots of fun with that if I am hired for said position haha.
Thanks for stopping by, and a special thanks to all who read through this update to the end, checked out the updated videos at the bottom of the home noose, and a VERY special thanks to those who watch & share the video on Net Neutrality - IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE MORE IMPERATIVE IT IS SHARED & WATCHED THAN TODAY, 7/12/17, AS THIS IS THE DAY OF #THEBATTLEFORTHENET! The day that a free internet could end for good, or, be saved by all of us banding together to fight for what's right - freedom of internet, expression, information and interaction!
I hope you have an EPIC day and night! Thanks so much for stopping by my friends!

Thanks for stopping by, and a special thanks to all who read through this update to the end, checked out the updated videos at the bottom of the home noose, and a VERY special thanks to those who watch & share the video on Net Neutrality - IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE MORE IMPERATIVE IT IS SHARED & WATCHED THAN TODAY, 7/12/17, AS THIS IS THE DAY OF #THEBATTLEFORTHENET! The day that a free internet could end for good, or, be saved by all of us banding together to fight for what's right - freedom of internet, expression, information and interaction!
I hope you have an EPIC day and night! Thanks so much for stopping by my friends!

Hey everybody! This might just be the longest time ever there has been between updates to my site! Sheesh!
Anyhooser, I've got some VERY important updates for you to cuddle with or kick the schiz outta!
The first since I didn't realize I never mentioned it is, I'm a legitimate Fullscreen Network partner on YouTube! Yeah, Seriously! Who knew!
Now to the much more important and recent of events...
My computer has taken another set of steps since I last checked in toward it's own demise: The PSU fan as became so loud that I have to out-compete it for audio prominence, meaning for you to hear me, I pretty much have to yell at the top of me poor feeble widdle lungs o'mine. And I'm too loud already. So I am no longer able to be heard in my commentaries as the PSU fan dominates the mic audio now.
Secondarily, the computer's wifi adapter has decided to take itself to the step before it's death as of late. I now average 100-136kbps download speeds, and 0-80kbps upload speeds.
So what this means is, yer boi can no longer make viable gaming videos, except for ones without commentary. Those if & when I make them will go up on LeisureSuite considering that's one of the reasons I created the channel in the first place. If I can't produce my normal content for TCV, I'd put no-commentary gaming videos onto LeisureSuite.
With all this wonderful failure stuff in mind, it's came time that I finally start that GoFundMe page I've mumbled about here and there since early this year on Twitter and in some of my videos. The GoFundMe page will be strictly for my YouTube situation, with the only focus on getting a new, viable and beastly gaming PC to replace this non-gaming dying dipstick of a PC I have now. IF (though unlikely) I obtain more than I need for the new PC in GoFundMe dontations, I will point them toward new editing software and/or PhotoShop, and even a new proper, professional microphone and boom stand for it.
If I had my own place, I would happily also use those funds to get sound foam and a proper green screen with something to put the green screen on.
So keep your eyes peeled on YouTube, Twitter and here for a post/update containing the GoFundMe page.
And just so you guys know how this deal is good for both sides (donating to the GoFundME and sharing it), if I get the goal on GoFundMe to obtain a beastly proper gaming PC, I can finally play the 50+ games I've had sitting in my steam library for so long, some over two entire years! I haven't even bothered installing them as they are too intensive for my current dying PC. So that means LOADS more variety and content for you to enjoy at near or literal max settings without at goddamn hitch! So it really will be a good deal for both you and me.
I'll still be attempting to upload some gaming videos I have if they prove viable to TCV here over the course of the nexrt month or so as I have about an hour of pretty funny GMod Prop Hunt footage that I recorded of me & StungMuffin. SIDENOTE: I just had to check the video to remember who I was playing with, so I found the footage IS indeed viable! And goddamn am I ever thankful for that!
Anyway, I hope you all are finding your way through the website with ease, and be sure to let me know if you're having any issues with navagation. If you are I'll see what I can do! There is a place to leave a comment at the bottom of the home page where if you want you can leave feedback, or you can leave it @TCVgaming on twitter. If somehow this isn't possible for you, please go to my main youTube channel, and leave it in the discussions section of the channel. But only do this as a last resort. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sticking around with me, even through all this bs that is being thrown at me, and thus in result at you as well. And thanks for taking the time to check out this website o'mine. I really do appreciate it a lot! Have a epic day and night! Stay safe and fluffy everybody! WEEEEEEE

Hello my friends! I've updated the website a little bit yet again, though with background stuff & coding. Mainly SEO schtuffs and cleaning up the tabs & sections by ridding or hiding each category that I really pay little or no attention to.
HOWEVER - I do have a couple of updates that you may very well be interested in!
The first update for your luxurious & smexy faces is that I will be uploading a Livestream style & length, raw, unedited Rocket League Online play video today, and then either tomorrow (thanksgiving) or Friday I will be streaming some stuff! If tomorrow, it'll likely be Minecraft, but if it's Friday, then I'm hoping to instead livestream some Rocket League with Fishy (PsychrotiX/PsychoticFishy) if he does nab it on it's Steam Black Friday sale. (Also, Rocket League is getting the Steam Workshop connected & readied for the community to make skins, mods, and more for the community to use come December! WOOT! So, since this is happening, and it's addictively fun to play, I could not recommend to nab it on Steam's black friday sale more! And, I'd love to play with you guys from time to time too! Whether it's a party, running into each other online or recording together!)
Update numero dos!
I have uploaded two new tracks that I created to my music channel for you all to enjoy! My Music channel is Blues Sleuth Music, and I shall post the link to it after all is said and done here on this little update for you buoys & grills!
For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you're having, have had or do have a very awesome, fun and memorable Thanksgiving! For those who don't (like me), I hope you have an epic rest of week! If you don't, I will hunt you down, and beat you with a stick. I KNOW WHERE YOU ALL LIVE. WATCH IT. >:^)
butt siriuslee, pls haz fun! :3
Otherwise, this be the end of ze derpdate! So, stay safe, fluffy and epic! Enjoy yourshelves everybuddy! (I'm intentionally misspelling everything because I'm a 22 year old child, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. }:^)

Hello again everyone! Just figured I should give a quick little update on things for the heck of it!
The channel is going VERY smoothly, and I'm having loads of fun making the content that goes up for you every monday - saturday. I've recently been collabing with a bunch of awesome people including AshBashio & Psychrotix (aka Fishy or PsychoticFishy). We've been playing some GMod & CAH (Cards Against Humanity) as you've likely seen if you've been around the channel the last month or so. I hope fairly consistent collabs will occur from now on as it's a very fun thing to do, it's truly unbeatable.
Also, as much as I love & enjoy doing my MRS (Minecraft Randomized Survival) series, as well as others, I can never keep consistent with them, especially considering my focus over time has made a large shift from series focused content to whatever I'm feeling at the time type content, meaning I no longer have much of a will or focus to consistently create content in the form of a series. It's more of a struggle for me now days to do so, so I'm thinking at least for the foreseeable near future, series are likely not going to happen sadly. But in the end, I am having so much fun making content & producing it the way I am now, so, it's not at all a bad thing.
You may have also taken notice that my editing style seems to be slowly changing. This is because not only am I enjoying the results of these newer styles of editing, but I've taken notice that a surprising number of you have taken a liking to it as well, more so than the normal, basic & average style of editing I normal have done. I'll still be editing in the basic form as well, but a little more infrequently depending on the content. This newer editing style does however take a surprising amount of extra time to do for each video, on average adding around an hour to 3 hours to how long it'd take me to edit the videos with that basic editing style. So I will not be going full on with said newer style of editing. It takes up far too much time and somewhat often, my editing software decides to be an ass with it too and screw everything up that I had done.
Now on a more personal front, I've finally made it to a therapy office to get my intake appointment dealt with. To my dismay, I've been assigned to get in for an appointment for therapy once a week. *grumbling* So, if I were to find a bright side to it being this dang frequent, it's the fact that it does force me to at least get two days ahead on videos now, once the appointment's date comes close.
Anyway, that's about it for the update for you all, and I hope you all have been doing alright, if not great. And, I hope you keep doing good. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it fluffles fam! Stay safe, stay fluffy and have a great day & night! See you next update fam!

What's going on my friends? I hope life's going well for you! I just wanted to check in, and give you all a little update for ya!
Since I last checked in, I had mentioned I would give my minecraft channel a little more time before I would make a decision on officially ending it. I did give it another week or so, and in the end, I felt as though it was a good time to close that chapter of my adventures in youtube and seize a new path that branches off from the initial path I started with on youtube. It is a bit of a bummer, that's a fact, however, it's also a good thing overall. I can use it as past experience, as a teacher, and as I guidestone, as an artifact. The channel will stay up for good, and with it it's content will of course stay put.
Another bit of good that came out of it is the freeing up of the time I need to start & continue doing more frequent & consistent content on my main channel, TCV (TheCriminalViolin) which has officially commenced! I'm so thrilled & elated to begin this journey & produce more consistent, frequent content for you all to enjoy! Two videos went up today in fact! I still am refusing a schedule, so it's based on the content I have, the time I have & how I feel. So instead of 2-3 videos per week on average, it will now be around between 3-5 a week on average, with an occasional day with multiple uploads, and an occasional week with a video each day. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the comments, and welcoming you all aboard Fluffles Fam if you have not yet joined us.
Before I do end off this update, I'd like to add that I also upload to new songs to my reverbnation page, and the latest one I made yesterday, and I am very proud of it. I know you'll probably like it yourself! Feel free to give my music a gander if you have not yet done so! Here's the link to my page - reverbnation.com/dannygrogg/
Thanks for checking in boys & girs! See you later! Stay safe & fluffy!

HOLA! This is the longest yet I've spent away from updating the site at all! I apologize for that, I yet again will try valiantly to update you guys on this website more often! At least one every two months or so perhaps? Well see I guess.
Nevertheless, much has occurred since I last checked in, and many videos have been uploaded for your faces to enjoy as well. I've found that my social anxiety is worse than I had priorly thought, as I went out to a work resource place locally and spent at most an hour there, and round-trip including walking about 2 miles in heat ended up being only around three hours total. Once I walked through the door the house, I was drained beyond belief in every single way one can be. Mentally, emotionally, psychically, I was utterly empty. It took me 3, yes 3 whole days & nights to recover back to normal incredibly from that little ole venture, and in it all, I may have been truly social at most, 15-20 minutes of it. That told me that obviously, I can't work out in the bustle of suburban life, not if I require a three day break per every three hours out. So, I'm now working on finding a therapist that covered to work on that vast social anxiety of mine. Beyond pathetic, but alas, it's apparently how my body works unfortunately.
That does however mean I am mostly freed up for time currently, and, doing youtube yet again at a pretty consistent clip, a video per every other day - three days on TCV, and I've recently relaunched my Minecraft Channel, OpplundTest as well. I really am tempted to go to a video a day on my main channel, that of course being TCV, however, that'd all but require me to record metric buttloads of content ahead of time, and edit a large majority up as well ahead of time too so I can get them scheduled for upload. I could do it, but... that'd also pretty much require me to yet again stop my minecraft channel. I'm pretty dang determined to keep that going, and so far, it has to my surprise lacked almost all support. Most of the videos so far have not got any views minus those I uploaded in the very beginning, and then the single view from me sharing it on my main channel's G+ page, with an occasional 2 views which is the main channel AND my second channel, LeisureSuite, again shared to it's G+ page. I really would rather avoid taking OpplundTest down again, so hopefully the support will be there soon enough for it's content. Otherwise, in the future, I may just have to stop it yet again sadly. It's a waiting game right now, and I'm slowly slipping into a struggle to remain optimistic about it's future. But damn near daily videos would likely happen on TCV for a good while if push comes to shove with that situation, so it's not the worst case scenario, but it certainly is not something I'd call okay, at least, not at first.
Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts. Am I right? haha. Anyhooser, I hope you all have been doing fantastic since I last check up here, and, in case you didn't notice, I slipped a few of those new videos into the bottom of the main page of this site, in case you'd like to give 'em a look see :3. Be sure to give OpplundTest's content a good look-over & sampling if you have not yet done so yet, as I am proud of the content I've got there for you all. It's purdy snazzy if I do say so myshelf. };^) The Channel for Minecraft, OpplundTest - www.youtube.com/channel/UCPJqaxKjw1vAW24FcDwexyg
Next up, I switched from Freedom to PowerTV as my MCN for TCV! A exciting new chapter & adventure in the channel, community, and our growth, and I am slowly preparing myself to start investigating all of the new exciting features & things I get to enjoy from them. It's super exciting & epic! Can't wait to try all that awesome stuff out! WOOT!
Now, my computer IS having one hell of a never-ending fit, and it has been for a long while now. I've pinpointed the main majority of problems, I'd say about 98.5% of them I have to my utter stupid decision to switch to Windows 10. It is literally the cause of next to all of the ridiculous issues I have on it. Software, Games, Hardware, Overall Functionality, etc, all of them are caused by the demon known as Windows 10. Why'd I switch to 10? Literally One reason, one being so ridiculously immature - "I CAN GET MINECRAFT WINDOW 10 EDITION! YEAH!". Easily one of the most ridiculously stupid decisions I've ever made with absolutely no logic whatsoever in my life, leading directly into one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I just wish I had A: A actually truly functional, non-crappy computer that's made specifically for gaming and B: Windows 7. #RIPMrFrogg }:^\
Anyway, I'm unsure if I have missed anything, I hope I haven't! But anyway, this be the end of the update post for today, August 12th, 2016! Thank you all for your inexpressibly epic, amazing support on the content & channel, and I cannot wait to grow Fluffles Fam, and to go so much further than the amazing amount we already have! I so wish I could express just how much appreciation I have for you guys, not just as supporters, viewers & subscribers, but as the community we've formed together, of course being the family, Fluffles Fam, and each and every one of you as individuals! Yes, we could have came so much further, and could have & be growing so much more rapid, but that, as valuable as it may be is not what's important, as the speed at which we grow also allows us to build the community so much more genuinely. Like, making the world's most impeccable batch of chocolate fondue. Slowly growing the community allowing for us to grow closer, stronger, and have a more deep, rich, sweet group of people. So thank you all so very, very much! I love you Fluffles Fam! If you'd like to continue to support & grow the fam, be sure to subscribe, watch, like and share the videos & channel! It means more than can be said and is just as helpful! With that, stay safe, stay fluffy and have the most epic day & night wherever you are!

Now, my computer IS having one hell of a never-ending fit, and it has been for a long while now. I've pinpointed the main majority of problems, I'd say about 98.5% of them I have to my utter stupid decision to switch to Windows 10. It is literally the cause of next to all of the ridiculous issues I have on it. Software, Games, Hardware, Overall Functionality, etc, all of them are caused by the demon known as Windows 10. Why'd I switch to 10? Literally One reason, one being so ridiculously immature - "I CAN GET MINECRAFT WINDOW 10 EDITION! YEAH!". Easily one of the most ridiculously stupid decisions I've ever made with absolutely no logic whatsoever in my life, leading directly into one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I just wish I had A: A actually truly functional, non-crappy computer that's made specifically for gaming and B: Windows 7. #RIPMrFrogg }:^\
Anyway, I'm unsure if I have missed anything, I hope I haven't! But anyway, this be the end of the update post for today, August 12th, 2016! Thank you all for your inexpressibly epic, amazing support on the content & channel, and I cannot wait to grow Fluffles Fam, and to go so much further than the amazing amount we already have! I so wish I could express just how much appreciation I have for you guys, not just as supporters, viewers & subscribers, but as the community we've formed together, of course being the family, Fluffles Fam, and each and every one of you as individuals! Yes, we could have came so much further, and could have & be growing so much more rapid, but that, as valuable as it may be is not what's important, as the speed at which we grow also allows us to build the community so much more genuinely. Like, making the world's most impeccable batch of chocolate fondue. Slowly growing the community allowing for us to grow closer, stronger, and have a more deep, rich, sweet group of people. So thank you all so very, very much! I love you Fluffles Fam! If you'd like to continue to support & grow the fam, be sure to subscribe, watch, like and share the videos & channel! It means more than can be said and is just as helpful! With that, stay safe, stay fluffy and have the most epic day & night wherever you are!

Hello everyone! LONG TIME NO SEE EH! Haha. This has been the longest hiatus from the website I've ever taken BY FAR. It's good to check back with you here at least once a year, apparently lol. I hope you've been doing good! I should start by saying A LOT has gone on for me personally since the last check in, and a large majority of it has caused me to take a unwanted large amount of time from recording & uploading for you guys. The change from late last year into this year has been one immense roller coaster, and so far hasn't progressed well for me. More negatives than positives for sure, and two of these negatives are very significant. One of these significant negatives has forced me to suck it up and go to Worksource Oregon & Goodwill's Resource program to get a resume built & receive some advocation & help on what to do, etc when looking for a job. Then of course, the search will begin. This will take a huge chunk of time away from me that I could be recording, editing & uploading videos for you guys. And obviously once I do get a job, that's even more time taken away. And what's worse? I REALLY BADLY want to get back & make some videos & upload more frequently!
SIGH. So that's a huge sock in the gut all-around.
Now the second issue here lies within the goal that I have for once I get a job - getting a place of my own. The area I live in, the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area of Oregon & Washington is in a incredibly insane & immense housing crisis right now as rent is literally unaffordable for most people. And guess what? THE RENTS JUST KEEP CLIMBING. SO, even if I did get a 40+/week job that pays the average base wage of $9-$10/hour, I'm literally still screwed on housing. YES, IT'S THAT FREAKING BAD! Even if you're the world's best financier & save up your income over the course of say, 4 months - You'd still be screwed to hell & back. Why? BECAUSE IT'S RENT. YOU NEED TO PAY MONTH TO MONTH. And even worse, you never know if & when the landlord/property owner(s) decided to suddenly jack your rent up even further, the average locally is around 45%. Seriously. So literally no matter what, just like a large majority of others in this metro, I'm damned. Thanks Oregon & Washington State Governments! Much love!
Now obviously the only choice is to live with others, aka, Shared Housing or Shared Rent, of which most everyone with this issue is doing - ON THE RARE CHANCE THEY CAN. Lol. I'm 22 year old ffs, and I still am being barred from living on my own. It's just ridiculous.
Oh yeah, and this'll be my first time ever apply for a job & having a job, let alone once this housing thing occurs - load on another heap of never had to now being experienced. So personally for me, this is a HUGE heap of interal processing I'm being heaved into, forced to do & process at an insanely rapid rate. So emotionally, mentally & even physically I'm taking on one heck of a toll. It's absolutely insane & hard for me.
Obviously what has to be done, has to be done, at whatever the cost... sigh. I hope the cost isn't too pricey! Haha, cheesus crust. GUYS SAVE ME PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO BE AN ADULT!!! I cri.
But anyway, this is where I'm at, and thus where the channel & content is at currently, has been for awhile & is going to be for likely a very long time, sadly.
But as usual I'm still here, I'm still pushing through it even as hectic & chaotic as this struggle is & is going to get, and I will get to the end of it, though probably in a few hundred pieces, but hey.
Okay I lied. A few trillion pieces. LOOK MAN I BRITTLE & A LOWLY SCRUB BUSH! FITE MEH
Lol, anyways, I'll still be making videos & putting 'em out every so often, & like I always say, I'm here in the YouTube Community for the long run! I will not leave, no matter how restricted I am and get from making & uploading videos.
And I actually tried updating you guys in mid-late february, but our internet decided to be an asshat & drop the internet RIGHT AS I HIT PUBLISH thus ridding the whole of my post, which pissed me off for a large amount of time as I REALLY REALLY wanted to get that out to you guys so freaking badly. So much epic stuff happened at that point that I never thought would happen. However you can look back to around christmas time & watch some of my videos, specifically a vlog/update thing I made talking about the main events of what occurred that I wished to post here. So be sure to take a look!
And I really hope you guys enjoyed yourselves & had a safe, good time whilst I was gone. Clearly my website can survive even the most seemingly cold-shouldered of neglect, it's still alive! YAY!
I CURRENTLY have two brand new miniseries I'm doing going up very soon on the channel that are going to be quite interesting & different from normal, yet awesome & entertaining. Don't worry, they're still gaming. And of course I hope to so have a decent quality camera to start taking pictures & recording with so I can make stupid and pointless yet hilarious skits and... well... videos of video... variety... SHUT UP! Lol. <3
And Finally...
I have made a few new tunes whilst I was gone from here, and have put a few up for gandering at on my ReverbNation page! I will fairly soon be putting a few more up too! MOOSIC JA JA! :D - http://reverbnation.com/dannygrogg/
Anyway I BELIEVE I'm not forgetting anything, so...
STAY SAFE, STAY FLUFFY, HAVE A WONDERFUL AND EPIC DAY & NIGHT WHEREVER YOU ARE AND.... HUH BUH BYE! :P

Greeting faces! What's up? Me and Kooster Kabooster aka iFlawlessCow or Cow collabed and what came out as I priorly mentioned is amazing! So much insanity and hilarity! Plus, CCHHEEEEWWBBBAAAAACCCAAA!!!! Lol. And the respective videos have been released so be sure to watch them if you have not yet done so! Trust me, you'll love them if you love random spastic wackiness! Meanwhile, I also announced in a video last night that I wear glasses! Seriously! I had worn them for many years, but I finally took the initiative to put them on and consistently wear them! And, I made my first little pointlessly funny skit last night! I had mention priorly on many occasions that I intended to make some really pointless skits, and, so I did. And finally, I officially sent my transfer slip into my MCN, MGN, which is a network under Freedom to switch to PGUK Network and am very excited for the opportunities at PGUK! I was shocked to hear PGUK was a network that was under Freedom, as it is the only network I have ever seen under freedom that is actually supportive, active and truly community oriented! PLUS, there is plenty of extra opportunities for me there! So I am VERY excited, and speaking of PGUK's activity, they replied to my tweet about it swiftly, which was awesome yet unexpected. Thank you PGUK for welcoming me with open arms! I'll officially be a part within a month or so!
I just wanted to give you guys a update on the goings on! Stay safe & fluffy! Now, here's all the schtuffs I owe you lol:

Hello again my fluffy people!!! How are you? I hope very well! I have a good amount of schtuffs I'm going to talk about in this update, so bare with me.
The GMod collab group - I got told by Roy that the group was official and together, though worryingly, he said we've finished building it up & WE'RE ready to record. At the time, though this icy cold thought slipped through my mind, I didn't think too much of it. And then I got "Gamebanged" on my Do Not Laugh Challenge video, and I hadn't realized that this is what they did to my video at the time, I was told by Roy in a DM on twitter, "You've Been Gamebanged!" and I laughed and said, "That's a PERFECT podcast name to make a play on the "BONERCAST". He replied saying, "yeah, we created a podcast alright." At this point I felt more excited and elated about what I had thought was a group I was included in. BUT, then I was informed by Roy that no, I wasn't a part of the Gamebangers, and thus started my high level of worry and extreme fear that I had, as typically happens so far in my life, suddenly been pushed to the outside of what once was a group me & Roy we're attempting to start. And it became obvious very quickly that this indeed was the case. The group was formed, without me included, and now I was told I had to "audition" for a part in the group. Two hours of a Skype call later, and I was being told that they didn't feel I was a good fit for the group and, they have schedules and feel like I wouldn't really understand that. And thus, I was not included in their collab group. Keyword, 'THEIR'. And of course in this point in time, I'm still extremely hurt by it, and am not at all happy, and know that it isn't right. But then again, I keep asking myself, "do I really wish to be a part of a group that will do that to people?" Suddenly once invited, they take this leadership post and everyone is okay with it and thus suddenly me, as a once "founding member" of the group find myself thrust to the outside without any knowing? Of course I don't. I am very bitter about it, I will admit, and I hope they soon realize that what happened really isn't okay. But it certainly seems that I've been officially thrust out and excluded, and thus to have a part in that group isn't possible. SIGH. There goes another failed collaboration attempt and on GMod sadly. A game I now will still be unable to play. But, we must always move on from all things now past.
Next, I want to thank you all for 105 subscribers! WELCOME TO FLUFFLES FAM!!! This has given even more motivation and happiness and I am more thankful than I could ever amount in words or actions. Thank you so much!
I also want to let you all know about a new collab partner, iFlawlessCow! Me & her decided yesterday we'd just swap skype credentials, and go full force on a collaboration that turned out to be the most hilarious, epic, amazing, and just all-around perfect time! It turns out that we're both full of chaos, insanity and absolute randomness, and she without trying was able to bring out my ear bleedingly loud insanity to it's full brunt! I've never once met ANYONE in my life who was able to do that. Let alone who actually enjoyed it thoroughly! I've always had bad social anxiety, so if I am automatically myself around someone, that means I'm automatically comfortable around them. And this is incredibly rare for me. I can literally count all people in my life who I was automatically comfortable with. Counting Jessy (iFlawlessCow), 3 people. That's it. 3. We had WAY too much fun. We also did some more collabing today too and turned into another chaotic, random, shenanigans filled insanity fest that you HAVE to see! So those videos will go out Saturday and Sunday! YEAH! So definitely stay tuned for that!
And finally, tomorrow (Friday) I'll be officially releasing Minecrap Survival SEASON TWO!!! YES! The Minecraft series that started it all! It was my very first Minecraft series, and I'm finally getting back into it once again! With MRS, Minecraft Randomized Survival Season Two getting it's debut two months ago, it may be a bit of a nostalgia trip for you long time subscribers/viewers! So definitely stay tuned for that as well!
And finally, some Miscellany:
I highly suggest you watch my Do not Laugh Challenge video! It was a heap of fun to do, and the video surprised me with the quality of clips in it, thus provided me with a big challenge I wasn't prepared for!
I also intend to do plenty more of the Don Not Laugh Challenge videos, so stay tuned!
I also happen to have made some changes to the overall look of my channel, and have another new set of videos I've put out, and intend to do more of them.
The Changes: I've put up a "seasonal" DIY banner, mainly because I wanted something DIY, tacky, but also fitting of me, and my channel.
I have commissioned two GFX artists to make me a new logo (one artist) and a new official banner! (the other artist). YEAH! So I'll finally have some professional looking schtuffs for you guys soon! Logo + Banner becoming professionally done art? O_O Didn't see that coming, did you? Haha, neither did I!
I also intend to create some more music, and update & reignite my music channel, "Blues Sleuth Music"! I already have some music ready for it that I made earlier this year (near the end of summer), and have decided the best way to put up those songs is to put up a video saying/illustrating what's going on in them (my music usually is telling a story, thus the names given).
And finally, I put up a video yesterday that's a "Let's Talk" as I really felt it was about time I finally talk about something very important and something I have a great interest in. Inventors. It's a serious video, and I would really appreciate it if you watched it (or listened to it) through. It something that's very little thought of and talked about, and it really needs attention & focus. Also please share it around too. Thanks.
Once again, thank you for your amazing support, I wish there was something more I could do to express my gratitude for you guys! Stay safe & fluffy and have a amazing day and night! Buh bye! #FlufflesFamForLife!

Howdy, Howdy! Enjoyed yourself since we last bantered? I hope so! Today in this update, I want to do a write up that to me is of great importance for everyone involved in the youtube community, whether a viewer or a youtuber, big or small to read. But prior to writing it, I want to mention a few things:
Today we're at 98 subscriber aka, Fluffles Fam, and SO close to the IMMENSELY EXCITING milestone of 100 subscribers! Thanks for your epic support, I cannot thank you enough! It means more than I could EVER say. Let's get to the milestone as quick as possible! I challenge YOU to share the channel with as many people as you can over the course of the next week! It doesn't matter who you share it with, as long as you share it! And in return for you and the milestone celebration, I will do a celebration livestream, as tradition goes, AND I will do some don't laugh challenges!
And today, my channel got the honor of having Markimoo's (Markiplier) channel shown in the related channels tab! WOOT! And that is just epic and awesome! MARKEEMOOOOOO!!!! }:^)
I also put new channel art(banner) up last night on the channel, and I'd like to know what you think of it! I made it because I wanted a comfy, tacky, homemade channel banner that was representative of many different things relating to me, the channel and the current season! I love snow and winter, the Oregon heart is to show where I hail from, and you can very likely figure out the rest haha. As I stated, it is temporary or "seasonal", and thus likely somewhere in January or February I'll be putting back the channel banner/art we're all used to };^)
And with that, we now start the ever important writeup of impending doom- I I I MEAN BEAUTY AN- oh nevermind...
A IMPORTANT MESSAGE AND INVITATION TO ALL YOUTUBERS AND VIEWERS:
I feel like most big youtubers feel the same type of nervousness, and discomfort when thinking about recording with a small youtuber that us small youtubers feel when thinking about the possibility of recording with one of them. And it usually wins out and it never happens. It's very sad.
I've seen so many big youtubers struggle to figure out what to record, or fail to do so because their typical collab partners are busy. And yet, when they get a small, enthusiastic and fun loving youtuber offering to record with them (on the rare occasion they do) they refuse. Which is kind of counterintuitive and certainly quite sad.
I feel like us youtubers, big to small need to crush this fear factor & give it a shot and help each other out. Likelihood is we'd discover how awesome and fun each other are and make some new friends & partners. This needs to happen. Big & small YouTubers taking initiative to rid ourselves of this fear complex & size separation and have fun together! Guaranteed it'd bring 80-90% Great, amazing opportunities and things to us & our communities! It's time we all, big or small united as one! After all, we always talk about how we're one massive community big or small and we need to help each other out. It's time we actually do it.
Feel free to share this particular write up around, and to help encourage each other to take this initiative on!
And with all of that stoofs, I shall end this write up here!
For those of you that celebrate National Native American Slaughter Day (Thanksgiving, know your holiday's true roots), I hope you stay safe & thoroughly enjoy it! And for those who don't, (like me), have a great, fun & safe day! Until next time, STAY FLUFFY!!! #FlufflesFamForLife!

Today we're at 98 subscriber aka, Fluffles Fam, and SO close to the IMMENSELY EXCITING milestone of 100 subscribers! Thanks for your epic support, I cannot thank you enough! It means more than I could EVER say. Let's get to the milestone as quick as possible! I challenge YOU to share the channel with as many people as you can over the course of the next week! It doesn't matter who you share it with, as long as you share it! And in return for you and the milestone celebration, I will do a celebration livestream, as tradition goes, AND I will do some don't laugh challenges!
And today, my channel got the honor of having Markimoo's (Markiplier) channel shown in the related channels tab! WOOT! And that is just epic and awesome! MARKEEMOOOOOO!!!! }:^)
I also put new channel art(banner) up last night on the channel, and I'd like to know what you think of it! I made it because I wanted a comfy, tacky, homemade channel banner that was representative of many different things relating to me, the channel and the current season! I love snow and winter, the Oregon heart is to show where I hail from, and you can very likely figure out the rest haha. As I stated, it is temporary or "seasonal", and thus likely somewhere in January or February I'll be putting back the channel banner/art we're all used to };^)
And with that, we now start the ever important writeup of impending doom- I I I MEAN BEAUTY AN- oh nevermind...
A IMPORTANT MESSAGE AND INVITATION TO ALL YOUTUBERS AND VIEWERS:
I feel like most big youtubers feel the same type of nervousness, and discomfort when thinking about recording with a small youtuber that us small youtubers feel when thinking about the possibility of recording with one of them. And it usually wins out and it never happens. It's very sad.
I've seen so many big youtubers struggle to figure out what to record, or fail to do so because their typical collab partners are busy. And yet, when they get a small, enthusiastic and fun loving youtuber offering to record with them (on the rare occasion they do) they refuse. Which is kind of counterintuitive and certainly quite sad.
I feel like us youtubers, big to small need to crush this fear factor & give it a shot and help each other out. Likelihood is we'd discover how awesome and fun each other are and make some new friends & partners. This needs to happen. Big & small YouTubers taking initiative to rid ourselves of this fear complex & size separation and have fun together! Guaranteed it'd bring 80-90% Great, amazing opportunities and things to us & our communities! It's time we all, big or small united as one! After all, we always talk about how we're one massive community big or small and we need to help each other out. It's time we actually do it.
Feel free to share this particular write up around, and to help encourage each other to take this initiative on!
And with all of that stoofs, I shall end this write up here!
For those of you that celebrate National Native American Slaughter Day (Thanksgiving, know your holiday's true roots), I hope you stay safe & thoroughly enjoy it! And for those who don't, (like me), have a great, fun & safe day! Until next time, STAY FLUFFY!!! #FlufflesFamForLife!

Howdy! I want to announce that yesterday I had the first ever video on my channel hit 500 views! 500! I want to thank you all for the help with receiving this great achievement, especially in such a quick amount of time! I also want to say a few other things of varying importance:
1. Me & RoyLGamer are looking into starting up our own GMod let's play group, looking to do a variety of GMod stuff, with a focus on Prop Hunt & likely Murder & TTT. It sounds like with the scheduling & time it takes to do all of the things us small youtubers do that it may not come to fruition, at least not as soon as we'd like. We're in need of another player, since our initial idea for having FlameKight7 (Jackie) to join us, and it seems that we might have two others on board... Which would certainly leave two per team, which is doable. I'll keep you up to date on Twitter on this front.
2. I have a possible new thumbnail/watermark in the works that I've had commissioned. It'll be a very different style than the current black, white & gray TCV one I have currently. In fact a bit more professional. However again, it's possible I'll use it, though I really do like my current one. }:^)
3. I'll be releasing a VERY special episode of Rocket League tomorrow (11/18, Wednesday) showcasing two brand new modes I created with the mutators, and it is SO MUCH fun to play them, and both are very intense, chaotic & actually, quite challenging! And one just might be very disorienting... the speed, the gravity the perspective... OH BABY! So be sure to take a look at that! There'll naturally be quite a few more videos with those & more modes to come, I can guarantee that! (Check it out even if you haven't yet, depending on when you see this ;^))
And as usual, I hope to see you interacting in the comments section of my channel & videos, and look forward to joining in on the banter! Stay safe & super fluffy! #FlufflesFamForLife!

Hey guys! It's been a LONG while! Since I last updated you many thing have happened! I started a new series on LeisureSuite which is a minecraft Medieval Kingdom build, I created a Minecraft channel called, OpplundTest, Minecraft's Finest Cookie Monster! I then went on a Rocket League binge and thus have loads of rocket league videos currently flooded on my channel haha. Then I made a video citing the lack of (really non-existence) interaction, comments, input, etc and also citing the fact that after a lot of thinking, I was to chuck any schedule(s) i had for uploading. I was to upload whenever I wanted, as I wanted. Same with recording. And as of today, I announced my Minecraft is be on hiatus for a unknown amount of time, and I would soon be re-continuing minecraft on my main channel. I also have gotten a lot of support & recognition on twitter from a handful of bigger & big youtubers too. We've grown substantially since I was last on, something I found out I was being pessimistic & really not acknowledging of. 93 subscribers! Fluffles Fam Forever Grows! haha. We also had YouTube Red be announced as a thing to EVERYONE'S shock & pretty much sheer dismay, and nobody is okay with it it seems. That is a GREAT thing! Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys a much needed & prolonged update, and here it is!
Below is my latest video (as of 11/6/15) and it's a NEW series I'll be doing off & on. There is also a picture of a tweet SubZeroExtabyte sent me that is incredibly motivating, and well, beyond simply appreciated & awesome.
I hope everything has been going well for your faces, and I hope you'll be staying fluffy!

I have created a new channel called LeisureSuite! This channel is for games that I'm playing on my free time or when sick, thus most if not all videos have no commentary. However, in place of this void, they have music. So far I've post three videos on it, including 2 that are parts in a large series of videos I'll be doing from time to time showcasing progress I have made on a build. It's a Medieval Kingdom Build, and the plans for the build are immense & extravagant! I do appreciate any and all input I receive, whether or not it is on this series or channel! I crave the Interaction! So feel free to chat & submit me ideas & thoughts! So at this point, I'll leave you with the channel, and I hope you enjoy what you see there! And as always, stay safe, stay fluffy & have amazing day! #FlufflesFamForLife!

Still, I enjoyed it a bunch, and I hope those of you that came out to did too! I may do another hour or so long stream this evening around 5 or 6pm pacific if my throat holds. For those who either didn't get to it, or just want to watch it, I've got you covered! Enjoy! Stay Fluffy! #FlufflesFamForLife

Hey guys! Here's the video on my first impressions on Minecraft Windows 10 Edition:
Hey guys! Here's the video on my first impressions on Minecraft Windows 10 Edition:
With that being posted here after a massive delay hehe sorry, let me get into some nitty gritty of something specific to today through the time remaining before NBA 2K16 releases & the NBA Preseason begins.
I'll be posting a video today, Hogust 21st, which will be -Brace yourselves- 1hrs 20 minutes long. Yes, a FULL NBA length game minus commercials. It's going to be a good, mostly accurate representation of the latest rosters of the 2015-2016 season will look like, and how they'll play versus each other.
It's the Mavs hosting the Warriors, so you know it's got to be pretty intense & epic! And all I will say is, DOWN TO THE WIRE. :D So get your butts ready to previews what it's likely going to be like watching the Mavs & Warriors have at it in the always stacked west.
Also if you haven't yet, be sure to check out my newest series, Minecraft Hardcore Survival & also be sure to check out my series of The Forest too! And as always, STAY FLUFFY!!! :3
