Falling Behind

Today at 11 am CST I will be releasing the 15th part of my “Bel Bungles Minecraft” series on YouTube, and hopefully if things go smoothly I will be recording the 16th part today which will take us to the end of the week. That said I am falling behind in the production of this thing and need to spend some time this weekend catching back up. I had this really great production cadence that allowed me to have several episodes queued and ready to go, and at one point I was three episodes ahead. I had been recording over my lunch break and then editing and queueing it up for the next week day timeslot at what I decided would be my release time of 11 am.

That sort of went off the rails this week because effectively I have been iced in since Sunday evening. This also means that my wife has been iced in and with more active human beings in the house it became a little harder to record over lunch. Similarly I have been dealing with the woes of winter in our house, which means my office is sweltering. There are some things I have done to mitigate this, but even so just from radiating heat through the wall it warms up significantly. My office is the first stop after exiting the heating unit and for some reason has two vents. This means the last place I have wanted to be after the work day is upstairs.

This is not to say that I won’t keep making Minecraft videos, because I am still enjoying myself. The pace of them might change a little bit. I am not sure if I am going to be able to keep up with five videos a week at least until I figure out a flow that works for my changing situation. I will probably be expanding what I am doing as well to more than just my single player world. I’ve been playing some on a friends server called Botchcraft, as well as a private Realm with my friend Grace. I will likely be recording some videos in both of these locations, but I will make certain to clearly state I am doing so in the video to stem some of the confusion.

Largely this is just a heads up that my flow of content may suffer a bit. Additionally I wasn’t sure what to talk about today so I figured this was as good of a topic as any. If you have not already watched any of the Minecraft series, then I will embed the playlist below. I mean it isn’t exactly compelling television, but I had fun making it and continue to enjoy my nonsense.
