Content

Hey All,

I hope you're all doing great!

Whew! What a week. The busiest week in Colin's Last Stand's brief history, for sure. Usually, I post an episode of Side Quest a week. In fewer than three days, I posted seven episodes. So, you got seven weeks' worth of Side Quest content in only 72 hours. Nice!

The performance of these videos -- particularly the first party-centric ones -- was really beyond my expectations, and so I thank you so much for showing such kind support. Thank you for watching, whether you watched one, two, or all seven.

Naturally, your "regularly scheduled programming" also went live, so I hope you enjoyed this week's Fireside Chat and KnockBack, too.

Here are this week’s new shows!

Side Quest, Ep. 27: EA E3 Press Conference Review (Audio)
Side Quest, Ep. 28: Xbox E3 Press Conference Review (Audio)
Side Quest, Ep. 29: Bethesda E3 Press Conference Review (Audio)
Side Quest, Ep. 30: Square Enix E3 Press Conference Review (Audio)
Side Quest, Ep. 31: Ubisoft E3 Press Conference Review (Audio)

Now, it's back to work. I just have a few more things to take care of, and then I'm actually, seriously going to take my first days off all year. Seriously: I haven't had a day off all year, and that's about to change. I'm stoked. Erin and I rented a house in Palm Springs, and I'm just gonna float around in the pool for a few days. Really looking forward to it.

Remember: While I'm gone, Fireside Chats and KnockBack will keep on keeping on, so you have those to look forward to. I also think I may do one more episode of Side Quest before vacation (though we'll see how that works out), but remember: That show will return to its weekly rotation beginning July 2nd.

As always, thank you for your kindness, generosity, support, and love. It means a great deal to me. I worked my ass off during E3, but it was totally worth it. The content resonated with folks, and that's all that really matters!

I hope you and yours have a fantastic (and restful) weekend. Your Friend, -Colin

P.S. For those waiting for their art mailers, those should begin going out next week, for both TMNT and Seinfeld. I had a bit of a SNAFU with FedEx printing and getting them sent to Dagan, but we've sorted that out, so keep an eye out for your art in the coming two weeks. I'm sorry for the delay; a lot of it revolves around getting Dagan to sign the art, and as we live 3,000 miles apart, well... it gets a little more complicated than I'd prefer.

Also, I'm leaning towards doing postcards for this month's mailer instead of art, to give Dagan a break... and because I kinda like writing those things. =)

Thanks for all of the E3 videos. I know that must have wiped you out. I love your content, but you really should take more time for yourself. The last thing we want is for you to be burnt out. Keep molesting that fowl.

Thank you. I appreciate your understanding. I'm loath to ever take my foot off the gas, but... yeah. I need to rest for a couple of weeks.

Jeff Pollard

Thanks for all your hard work, Colin! Enjoy your time off!!

It's funny to say this but I am actually proud at how much you have accomplished as a (mostly) one man army. I can't think of anyone else who deserves sometime to relax. I hope you and Erin enjoy your mini vaca!

LastStandMedia

Thank you for your kind words! A victory for CLS is a victory for all of those kind enough to support it. At least, that's my stance.

I have to say; your E3 content was perfect. The way you kept it short, factual and to the point was just what I wanted! A 45 minute podcast on one conference is way too much, when there's so much information in a few days. I always go to comment on here, but never do so enjoy your much earned (and probably needed) break! P.S. let Erin know her Twitter is also very entertaining! #MostLoyalPersonOnTwitter

I have to echo what Mike said. it makes me happy to see how successful you've been Colin post KF when you've been pretty much a one man army. you deserve it man 100%. :) Excited for the future. A big props to those that have also been willing to do Fireside chats with you as well.

Kevin Sullivan

Incredible work this week on the E3 coverage. Enjoy the well earned R&R.

Major props for your conference videos. I feel you over dilivered and super appreciate the hard work. I'm not sure if I'm a minority, but I would of loved some prediction. We need some more Colin was right moments in the future.

BettyAnn Moriarty

You’ve been very busy doing work that we love and appreciate. Enjoy your well deserved vacation, bud. ❤️😘

Kudos to you, Colin! Not only did you put out a high quality review for every major E3 conference so quickly but you did it solo. Take a well-earned rest.👍👍👍

Phillip Guglielmo

Thanks for an outstanding week of content Colin. Between KnockBack, the Fire Side Chat and all the E3 audio postings I was well entertained while huddled over my desk working all week. Enjoy your break!

LastStandMedia

I fully receive your feedback... I just feel like predictions are so overdone. I kinda like the "strategy"-like video I did instead. You didn't care for it?

BM

If I had to pick one I would pick "strategy". But personally I feel it only appears over done if you choose to follow all those sites and personalities. I personally only really follow you, Giant Bomb and a bit of Easy Allies, so for me I didn't get enough predictions :) and I always enjoyed yours. I'm also not saying it needs to be in video form.

Justin Misuriello

Colin you seriously killed it with all the E3 videos on top of all the great regular content. You earned this break a while ago. Hope you enjoy!

Christopher Toffolo

Great job, Colin. Your E3 coverage respected my time as a working adult, and they embrace the notion of "Quality Over Quantity." Keep on being thoughtful and precise with your points, opinions, and reflections. Enjoy your break!
