Well not totally shameless self promotion. First of all I'm going to promote my broseph Barry who recently departed Game Grumps. Barry will be streaming on Twitch with a schedule very soon, it's just pending. Go support Barry by following him at - https://www.twitch.tv/barryisstreaming - Also you can follow him on YouTube where he'll be doing 'How About This Game' - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC16fG7-summGsrcqkkYb6hg - GO SHOW HIM YOUR LOVE.

So I wanted to give you guys a heads up on what I'm up to this year since I rarely have time to appear on the channel anymore. I'm still here at Grumps, but behind the scenes mostly. Working incredibly diligently on developing our animated show 'GAMEOVERSE', which is coming along very nicely. The first 30 minute episode is entirely storyboarded (minus some revisions which Amber is working on) and I've already started on a chunk of the animation as we sort out a bunch of production stuff. Last year it took up 100% of my time, which was great but meant that I didn't have a lot of time to do anything else. I'd like to make an effort to change that and find some balance in my life.

This year I'm going to try my best to make time for streaming on Twitch with a consistent schedule. This schedule is mostly for Virtual Reality streaming, but non-scheduled days from Monday - Thursday can still be Creative streams (animation, art, non-spoiler Gameoverse work). If you want to catch these, your best bet is to follow me on twitter and to see if I have anything planned - https://twitter.com/RubberNinja - It's just hard to know what I'll be working on what day and if it'll be stuff I'm able to share!

To start off, I'll be doing improvised comedy as various characters within VRchat, where I walk around as said character and fully commit, voices and all. I've done a few test streams where I was troubleshooting the setup and making sure everything worked.

You can view a few of those clips here:

I'm sometimes joined by my friends you may know who also have VR, such as Octopimp, ProJared and even Arin. Generally not planned, but it happens!

Here's the schedule:

Mondays - No (check twitter)

Tuesday - No (check twitter)

Wednesday - No (check twitter)

Thursday - No (check twitter)

Friday - 6pm PST - VRchat

Saturday - No (Day of rest)

Sunday - 3pm PST - VRchat

As well as just supporting me, any donations will go towards getting addons that will improve the streams, such as additional trackers that let me record hip and leg movements in game.

If you want to come hang out for these just head over to my Twitch and hit follow!

As for 12pm stuff, I will try to make time to film the odd thing here and there this year. Arin and I have already talked about doing a Dragonball Fighter Z Grumpcade on release, so keep an eye out for that :)

Also feel free to ask general questions below and I'll do my best to answer them in between work!

Love you guys, hope you have a great 2018!

Cheers!
