Good afternoon! I haven't done one of these polls in a while, due to being busy with personal life stuff as well as genuinely not knowing how to approach the topic. I want this to be more than a poll though, as I want a general sense of where you guys are at with the channel. As you guys know, there has been a massive focus shift on horror games, which is one of my favorite genres of all time, and it is a great time, however, I feel like it can almost seem a bit stale and repetitive when we go through some games that feel very same-sy. Since I started this channel in High School, it has transformed from a COD channel, to a let's play channel, to a streaming channel where I have been trying to focus on making more in depth videos in my spare time.

Now, for the big elephant in the room. Are you guys here for horror content specifically, or are you guys wanting more than just that type of content? I'm a guy that has loved video games all of my life. I played WoW growing up, Pokémon games, The Sims (when it was good), Minecraft, and a million other things in between, and I think that's how I have best survived as a "gamer" with this hobby of mine. My question to you is, would you guys be down for videos and streams that exist outside of horror games, or are you guys strictly against it? I know this is a bit out of left field, but it has been on my mind for the past year-ish, in terms of how to focus the attention of the channel. Don't worry, I haven't faked my reactions/fun with horror games, those have been really me, but I can sense a repetitive feel to some of them. I feel like some of the best streams we've had are the non-horror ones as well, such as that weird WWE PS2 game, a maid murder mystery game, Shadow The Hedgehog, and quite a few more. I still want to have a big focus on playing horror games, because they are my bread and butter, but would you guys want me to focus on other games as well in other genres? Obviously, I will end up doing whatever makes me the happiest, because a content creator that isn't interested in his content is the worst kind of content creator.

Now, to open up the floor to you guys. If you want to see other types of games/ideas/content on the channel, what do you think would be something you would want to see in stream or video form? I have been recording things in my spare time, and I do have my let's play channel TenneyPlays that I plan to upload the more longform unedited playthroughs on, but I want to hear from you guys about what you want to see around here. I do plan on doing things such as Ultrakill, some indie story games, and even some bigger games like maybe a Skyrim modded playthrough/streams. My point is, I feel like the channel/my work with it works better without being thrown to a specific niche genre, even if I know that is technically better for the algorithm and growth. I think, most importantly, at the end of the day, a lot of you guys are here for my crazy personality and reactions to games as we play through them together. A huge focus and one of my biggest compliments I have gotten from doing this channel is that people feel like we are friends playing video games together on a couch, and I want that to be a big mantra and feel of when we go through games together.

I have also linked other parts to my hobbies/life on my channel, including most of my gaming backlog, and my letterboxd account where I do serious/goofy reviews of the latest movies I have watched. So, if you want to suggest a game from there, or anything in general, it is massively appreciated. Also, remember we do have a decently growing Discord community with tons of like-minded people that have become a tight-knit group and sort of family; so, if you want to share your suggestions there as well, feel free, I will never shoot down conversations like that (unless it's some weird a** game, you know who you are, lmao).

Some games I want to tackle in the future are The Zelda games, GTA games, Final Fantasy, Hitman games, and pretty much anything else that exists. Playing games is what I like to do, and I want to bring you on that adventure with me, but I want to hear from YOU guys, about what you want to see. So, if you have suggestions, please let me know in the comments section on this post, any of my videos/streams, or on my discord server. Massive appreciation to you guys, and I apologize for being so inactive off and on, it's been a mixture of personal things, as well as trying to find my place more within the streaming/content creation community, because you guys are the reason why I do my live streams in general, so it's only fair that I talk to you guys about it first!

Thank you for your time and support. If you read this, you are genuinely a legend, and probably a bit crazy, but hey, that's okay, so am I! See you in the next stream/video! <3

Apologies for the lack of communication with stuff as well as no streams the past few days. I am currently out of town because my Grandpa fell and hit his head last week. Things were seemingly fine, but he started showing extremely concerning signs with his memory, so he ended up in the hospital again. Since then in the past 5 or so days, his memory has gotten a lot better, and it seems to be in part due to massive dehydration. We are planning on coming home this Thursday, and I will absolutely be streaming. I was planning on streaming every day since then, but about an hour before my stream was being scheduled, we got the call saying all of this was going down. So, unfortunately, there won't be a stream until this Thursday most likely, but family comes first. I'll be checking my phone occasionally, so I won't be completely offline, but I wanted to share an update with you guys, so you know I didn't just give up or stop doing stuff altogether. Thank you guys for your continued patience and support of me, my friends, and the channel. Making content can be an uphill battle sometimes when it comes to everything involved, but it's something I wouldn't trade for the world.


Thank you guys again. See you soon! 💙

Good afternoon! I've been focusing on variety content for almost an entire year now, and was wondering what we should tackle for tonight's stream? We have a wide variety of people that like different things, as well as playing the games that I love. Let me know, and comment if you have any future suggestions! Keep in mind, a lot of my series revolve around achievement hunting all of these games at some point, so it'll be a LONG HAUL. Content will be varied day to day and what I'm feeling, so we don't get burnt out too quickly. Thank you guys, and have an amazing day!
