WOOP!!! We finally did it guys! Got Twitch Affiliate. Thank you so so much everyone who has supported me over the years it means so much. Massive huggles!

Hi everyone,
Although I cannot be there myself we are as an organization going to PAX yay! We have several interviews booked and will be busy chatting with people. If you are heading to PAX let us know I am sure BigKev would love to chat with you.

In addition to PAX we are also nearly at that point of reopening the CG website. It should be going live tomorrow with brand new content and awesome stuff happening. I will ofcourse let people know when it goes live as you will need to reregister an account as we will not be porting accounts over due to the massive changes we have made.

From here we hope new videos will follow soon and I will have more time to stream. I will be focusing on Minecraft streaming as I have alot of work to do on Project Gotham.

Massive huggles 4 all. Again thanks for cooperating while we go through this transition phase.

WOOP got awesome news finally bt have actually sorted my net, gonna have fiber up and running by september 29th, ordering just became available today 😃 so friggin happy, been like a 6 year wait. Can't wait for it to be in but then i can play games with u guys again 😃

Heya everyone,
Thank you to all who have already signed up for the new steam group it is really appreciated and I hope you are looking forward to all the changes I will be making. Hopefully it will make the steam group element of the community far more interactive, interesting and rewarding.

My ISP has given me a date for when my net should be fixed and I have known for awhile. However I had been holding off on declaring anything due to their previous antics and failing to deliver on time. However it seems progress is being made and I have contacts who are doing a far better job at keeping me in the loop and being honest about what is going on. I'm still not ready to declare the date it will be ready but what I am willing to say is they have specified a date before the end of this year. Now I have no plans to start streaming the moment the net is fixed however I will do some test streams once the upgrade is available and working and from there I will set an official return date.

There is still alot to do and I have been super busy lately with various preparations relating to the CG community. There will be more details coming soon but here is an overview of things that are either completed or in the progress of being finished before I return to streaming;

www.charedegaming.com has been down for a fairly long length of time but I hope the wait will be worth it. We have undergone a branding change visually as well as creating alot of new fresh features and content I hope you will enjoy.

Alot is still yet to happen in this new steam group but I will be working to pack it out with the information you need, new discussion area, monthly community events, and the extra follow button which comes with curator status so you can see the games I recommend.

As some of you are aware we are now using discord rather than teamspeak. The app is coming along leaps and bounds in terms of its functionality with alot of people already having adopted it as a replacement for skype. Making this change also keeps CG's costs down and enables us to have a central point from which people can chat both in text and voice with no/minimal security risk. I can't wait to use it for gaming nights as well as during the streams and interactive community videos on youtube.

Awhile back I had all of the visual elements of my twitch, youtube and social media completely revamped. Credit to TacticalLion for his work on the graphics he has done some superb work. If you are a content creator yourself or just want some fancy profile graphics I highly recommend him. He has done work for people such as AngryJoeShow and other well known content creators, you can see his portfolio and make an order by going to this url http://tacticalliondesigns.com/ . If you use the code ICharede you will also get an additional 5% off your order!

Since I have been away from content creating and livestreaming for so long I am generally taking a lets make this a fresh start approach across the board with everything. This will also include the partner organisations whom I work with. While I still plan to work with some existing associates whom I have strong working relations with I need to wait on feedback from some stream teams I was a member of and as to whether they will reaccept me again after so long. I am however pleased to announce new relations have been forged with GreenMan Gaming, Gaming For Adoption, Tactical Lion, Spreadshirt & Revlo.

I have done significant changes to the info box and channel description however many other things have been done too. I have changed chat bot moderation system as well as the alerts. To make things simpler Branebot will run the majority of functions including tips, chat commands, games and alerts. In addition to Branebot we also have Revlo which will run viewer interaction and the streams currency leaderboard. In the background will also be DrAngryBot which will run chat filtering and have ranks that relate to subscription levels and how long you have been a member of the community. I have also worked hard to update all of my music licenses for music previously used under license as well as expand the library with more artists which I hope you will enjoy. If all goes well I am hoping that one of the bot functions will enable you to explore my full licensed library and make song requests rather than the open song request feature most bots have. As I hope you can understand I don't want to land into copyright problems.

Still alot of work to do with my youtube account but it is in progress. Content has been made and I already have several collab videos which have been recorded and just need to be edited. Content on the youtube channel is probably going to remain fairly mixed but I will be increasing the presence of Minecraft, lets plays and review content.


This post is rather long so I will leave it there for today but more I will discuss at a later point. In the mean time feel free to comment and ask any questions.
Thanks!
