Hello, my friends. It's been a while.
Apologies for the radio-silence, but as per usual I wanted to wait till I had something for you before giving an update. Video to follow this post :)
No, not that one :(
Where has this evil BASTARD been?
If we wind the clock back to mid-december, I was disappointed but excited. I knew I wouldn't be able to get CNA out on time before Christmas, but I had a good plan. I'd come back from New Year, and take January completely off just to finish it. No more funny business.
Long story short...none of that happened. As far as I remember, the entire month of January didn't happen.
I may have (somewhat sarcastically) mentioned this ongoing ailment I have in past updates. Like before, I'm not going into details about my medical life - but given the disruption to my announced schedule you deserve the gist.
Turns out if you get the Flu over Christmas/New Year (yipee) it triggers it bad. I spent January and the first week of February hopped up on codine (four times a day, it was great) while ferrying back and forth to the Doctor so they could run through every test they could think of.
By around the 9th or 10th of February the problem was...well, not solved, but dealt with. And as I blinked normally for the first time in weeks I realised that, once again, I was fucked. My long-term planning was completely destroyed by the unforseen. Who could have forseen that?.
So what now?
The good news is I've got a new long-term plan that is, this time, invulnerable to the unforseen. I forsee nothing that will stop me now, barring the unforseen.
Essentially - March is the new January. Thanks to a lot of crunch these past couple of weeks I've got March more or less to myself to grind through the last bits of CNA.
Why March for CNA and not February? Well...
Back in december - thinking I would have CNA out - I booked some sponsors for the videos following it. CNA will not have a sponsor on it, because it's my horrid little baby and I don't want it to.
This meant I had much less flexibility for March itself. Non-CNA videos needed to be brought forward in my 2026 schedule and completed. Thus, February was sacrificed at the altar of today's sponsor.
This is not to say that these videos don't slap, of course. I'm very happy with them. But I know you guys are waiting on CNA, and they're not it.
:(
So here's what's about to happen. I've got three videos allotted coming in March for you:
The Portal 2 Torment Nexus comes directly after this post. The 2nd longest video I've ever made, this one was a lot of fun. I should be this evil more often :)
The [redacted] duology. These...."games" are something else. You'll see :)
The Ghost of John F. Kennedy needs your help. It's up to you to use Markiplier's Iron Lung and stop Lee Harvey Oswald's nephew from completely his grisly task.
These three are either completely finished or out of my hands.
Then, at last, comes CNA.
You can guess which day I'm targetting for a public release of it :)
Thank you all again for your ongoing patience. There was only so much I could do with the cards I was dealt this year so far. I'll keep you posted further down the line as the hour of reckoning draws near.
Hope you guys enjoy Portal 2. Until next time :)
