2024 Status Report (Patreon)

Hey, so I thought I'd celebrate two weeks of the new year by giving you all a big ol' update as per where I'm at right now and what my plans are for the immediate future.

So as many of you know, my life is currently being consumed by the orbit of three massive stars, one currently collapsing. These are: the iCarly mini-series, the McDonald's documentary, and the April Fools project. At the moment, the iCarly series only has one video left: me discussing the life, controversy, and legacy of Dan Schneider. I am currently working on the intro and outline for this video - it will be one of my hardest to work on but I plan to have it out by the end of February.

Now, the most important thing for me right now is that the April Fools project actually come out on April 1st. Now, a lot of you out there will know that this video is going to be the most challenging concept I've ever released. People are going to be very shocked that I've pulled this off, but those who watch it will know it is something magical. BUT... I am very very worried about the effect it will have on my channel and my brand. That is especially true if it is the first thing to come out after the iCarly mini-series ends.

Because of that, I very much want to get out at least two videos between the DS video and the April Fools video. I have a good amount of work done on one of these, as I am working on a recap video about Nicktoons Unite. The goal is to have a lot of other creators I know in this video.

As for the other video, I have a few options I'm mulling over. I'm considering either a video on Heinz Doofenshmirtz or a video about Abby from NCIS.

The April Fools video is going to have a sequel, which will come out on April Fools Day. I originally wanted to have both videos released in one part, but I don't think I have time to finish editing everything and I've found a very good place to split it all up. But because there are going to essentially be two overly-long gag videos this year, I really need to focus on rebound content from that as well.

My current plan is to come back from Dad's videos with an analysis of Roku, which I have become very fascinated by. I'm currently trying to find someone who has been obsessively saving screen recordings of Roku City, which I've started doing recently but I'm missing a lot of important ones (specifically the time they added a normal ass Walmart).

As for the other big project, the McDonald's documentary, I honestly have no idea when it will be done and released. I have put so much work and energy into it that I can't see myself putting it out until it's properly done AND people are ready for it. But I think this will be my best work ever - and I hope people are ready for it.

And to finally tackle the elephant in the room - I do want to review the iCarly reboot this year. But I want some time to prove I can do more than that. I also don't think I have time to get that out before April 1. So my goal is to get out a bunch of other content and to have anticipation for that video to grow as I experiment with new things.

So, in short, this is what I'm hoping for:

February - We Don't Talk About Dan Schneider

March - Undecided stand-alone video

March - The Baffling Lore of Nicktoons Unite (ft. Keyan Carlile, Billiam, Oddheader?)

April - April Fools video

June - April Fools part 2 (Father's Day release)

June - The Gentrification of Roku City

After June - iCarly reboot video, maybe one of the other white whale projects I have on the docket. Christmas videos maybe? idk if we're on schedule by this point it's a miracle
