Happy Belated New Year to you all! It has been a long while since I have posted anything like this, in fact apparently the last time I did was before I hit 1,000 subscribers haha. Oh wait, holy crap, I HIT 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS?!?! Thank you all so much for helping me hit that huge milestone and I'm so sorry it has taken so long for me to say that! 2024 was insane for this channel! I started the year off with around 270 subs and ended it with around 1,320 which means I got over 1,000 subs in a year like holy crap I can't believe it! Once again, thank you all so much for getting me to this point, whether you watch only my videos or only my shorts, or both of them, thank you!

Now for a bit of an update on the channel. I have decided to not do anymore LEGO shorts/videos as I love building LEGOs and worrying about recording the building process and asking my gf to edit them is just not fun for me and stressful for her. So I hoped you enjoyed them, but as of this very moment, I do not plan on doing anymore of those.

Games I still plan on finishing are Luigi's Mansion 3 (yes I swear I'm gonna get on that), Uncharted 3 (which should be done very soon) & Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (which is finally returning today actually)! The SpongeBob Movie Game is finished and actually has been finished for a while now, the videos are still waiting for their day to be published, but it should be finished by the end of this month at least!

Games I'm hoping to start soon include: Uncharted 4, Lights, Camera, Pants, Astro Bot, & Mario & Luigi: Brothership

I hope you all have been enjoying my playthroughs of the SpongeBob games! I know I have enjoyed playing them for the channel and I am very excited to continue that! After Lights, Camera, Pants will be Creature From The Krusty Krab, and I cannot wait to play that one!

One last thing, I'm sure you have noticed a lack of livestream videos. From here on out, those are more than likely going to be very scarce on the channel as I have found that it is so much easier and less stressful to just sit down and play a game while I record it, instead of sitting in front of a camera feeling like I need to be talking, or commenting on the game I am playing the whole time. This is not to say that I won't be doing that anymore, they just aren't going to be as frequent as they once were. Obviously, if I'm watching a Nintendo Direct or playing a game with my brothers, or gf, we will always have our voices and, depending on the game, our faces will be there too!

I think that's all I had to say so if you read all of this, thank you! And once again, thank you all for a massively successful year for this channel! Here's hoping 2025 brings even more success to it (and you know maybe YouTube can start showing my content to people again as the channel has been dead for like 2 months now, wth YouTube)!

Happy New Year to all of you! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2025!

Just wanted to do kind of an update post for all of you. First of all, thank you all so much for getting me to 750... wait no where are we now? 950?! 950 subscribers?! Holy crap!!!! Seriously the amount of growth this channel has received this year is insane and I want to thank you all so much for that!!! I was at around 270 subs at the beginning of this year so the fact that I've gotten around 700 since is insane!!!! Thank you all so much for your support and watching my dumb videos! It really means so much!!! Now lets hit that 1000 milestone haha, share the channel with all your friends it would be greatly appreciated haha

Alright with that out of the way, it's time for some channel updates! Firstly, I hope you all are enjoying the better quality Switch videos and the separate livestream videos! I love the fact that I can make higher quality videos and still post videos that are similar to my previous ones! Also, prepare for the return of Pikmin 4 to the channel, finally haha, and LEGO builds hopefully! I also have a new amusement park video that I will be recording for today, so look forward to that! The Mario Vs. Luigi Tour is all recorded and scheduled to go up at the normal times, same with the Shorts! Still planning on doing a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tracks & Music Tier List and a 96 Track marathon at some point as well! I recently received Mario Vs. Donkey Kong and started playing it! Thinking I might record that and make it into a series as well! And finally, in terms of Switch content, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD releases soon, I plan on picking it up and starting that series as well, then after beating that I will play Luigi's Mansion 3!

As for PS5 content, I'm almost finished with Spider-Man 2, I hope you all are enjoying that one as it is now one of my favorite games ever! I still plan on playing Fortnite with my brothers as often as I can because it's fun! Once I beat Spider-Man 2 it'll be off to playing The Last of Us games, which I know are rated M, but I love them and would love to play them for the channel! After those two, I will begin playing the Uncharted franchise, yes all of them, including The Lost Legacy!

Wow I always end up typing so much for these haha, I've just been so excited to make content for you all and I have so many plans and I cannot wait to play these games for the channel!

Once again thank you all for the tremendous amount of support!

So starting today my Nintendo Switch videos (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pikmin 4, etc) will now be at a better quality!!! However, my face will no longer be in the corner and my voice will no longer be heard. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make as I believe it is better for my videos to look better than not haha

Basically they should all be at 1080p60 (HD) starting today with my Mushroom Cup (200cc) video, whereas since I started the channel almost 3 years ago they’ve all been at 480p (Not HD lol)

If anyone is worried that my face and voice will no longer be in my videos, for some reason, don’t worry I will be posting the full stream of when I played the game with little to no edits done on it, and with my face and voice for anyone who likes those ones more, they will just be at the same quality they’ve always been.

Anyways thank you all for sticking around and watching my stuff it means so much to me and I can’t wait to continue doing more for you all!

Wow I can’t believe I’ve hit 500 subscribers! A few months ago I thought I wasn’t gonna hit that milestone for a good like 5 years! Thank you all so much for subscribing and watching my videos if you have, it means the world to me!!!

What you can continue to expect from my channel is a ton of fun gameplays, continuing going through Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s cups, finishing Mario Wonder and Pikmin 4, doing more of those Smash Ultimate moveset videos, and probably some more Nick All-Star Brawl 2 videos! And obviously I’ll still be playing Mario Kart Tour and making videos for each cup and then YouTube shorts for each race/challenge in that cup as well which a lot of you seem to be enjoying I believe, so don’t worry there will be more of that! Oh and of course more LEGO Builds will be appearing too!

As for what will be next for the channel, the plan is to go back to Tears of the Kingdom and beat it (yes I know I’ve been saying I will for months now, and I still want to and plan to) which will probably happen after I beat Pikmin 4 on the channel! Once I beat Mario Wonder I think I want to play Super Mario 3D World and then Bowser’s Fury, and then maybe Super Mario Galaxy, as I love all of those games, and I love Mario games in general and think it would be fun to almost constantly have something Mario related that isn’t Mario Kart on the channel!

Then of course there’s the new PS5 videos on the channel! The plans for that are, right now, I wanna play and finish all three Insomniac Spider-Man games, play all the Uncharted games if possible, and both Last of Us games for the channel as those are some of my favorite PlayStation games ever! At some point I hope to add a face cam and a mic mostly so I can play some horror games, specifically FNAF stuff!

And now finally amusement park videos! I wanna continue making more of those, and maybe even Shorts of like off-ride footage of coasters too, I think that would be fun! There’s no guarantee of any of these happening, but currently I’m hoping to make Cedar Point, Dorney Park, and King’s Island videos this year! Obviously there will be at least a new Kennywood video!

Wasn’t expecting this to be that long haha! Basically just thank you all so much for subscribing and watching my dumb videos that I recently have been really loving making! I hope you continue to stay and watch, and enjoy all the new stuff coming to this channel!

Hello everyone! First I wanted to thank you all for 150 subscribers! I never thought I'd even get 25, so the fact that I have reached this milestone is insane and I thank you all so much!

Second, I believe I said this at the end of my first Tears of the Kingdom video and at the end of the one releasing later today, but the videos are gonna be getting a little scarce coming up. There may be a few days in a row without any videos, and the reason being for this is because I want to only focus on Tears of the Kingdom until I can beat it on the channel. Luckily that means the videos that do release should be fairly long videos, so hopefully that can make up for the lack of videos.

So yeah thank you all so much for being here and watching me try to be a gamer! Expect a lot of Tears of the Kingdom coming up! And don't worry as soon as the next wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass releases, I will be on top of that!

Thank You!
