Got a lot to talk about!
As you can probably see by now, I have set a date for the charity stream! It will begin at 8 PM central time on December 11th. I originally planned on this being an all-day thing starting in the afternoon, but I confess my sleep schedule is borked beyond belief right now.
Still, I’m going to be going for as long as I feel like going – probably well into the morning. We’ll start out with some Among Us, do some chatting, play some other games, show some Christmas episodes, etc.! We’ll have plenty of guests on to hang out and just have a good time while we raise money for RAINN! While the initial goal of this is to get rid of all the merchandise that Dr. Crafty contributed art for, the real goal is raising money for them. As such, I’ve enabled the fundraiser function of the stream so if you don’t want or need any of that merch, you can donate directly to RAINN and all the proceeds from the stream (superchats, ad revenue, etc.) will be donated to them!
Next up, I’m proud to announce that J Maner, who has done a few title cards in the past (particularly Amalgam Comics Month), will not only be taking care of the new art for the DVDs, but will also be the new title card artist come 2025! Pictured is the new DVD cover. It’s not available for sale yet – I’ve been so busy editing the Shattered Grid review that I haven’t had a chance to upload the new DVD files to Kunaki and get a test DVD to make sure it’s working, but I’ll get to it ASAP! As you can see, we’re keeping the back text, changing the quote (yeah, we’re not associated with the Nostalgia Critic anymore, so best to finally get a new hateful quote about me on there!), and finally having the show logo on there!
I know some of you will be disappointed that I’m not having an open call for a new title card artist. So here’s the thing: J Maner has told me that they’re uncertain if they want to be the title card artist past 2025. They’re willing to give it a try for the year and see if they want to stick around after that, but it’s up in the air if they will remain.
And the thing is, while they’re taking over for title cards and doing the DVD art, there is still A LOT of art that needs to be replaced. Specifically, I need:
-New Badge card art (looking mostly for Chibi designs for these, but I’m open to anything)
-New T-shirt designs based on several I’ve had to take down (“When’s the Next History of Power Rangers,” “It’s Magic, I don’t HAVE to Explain It,” etc.)
-New Posters (HOPR, the movie, etc.) So if you’re interested in doing some of this or are interested in being considered as a title card artist in the future should J Maner not wish to continue on, then please go to my website’s contact page linked below and send me a link to your portfolio/samples of your art and your commission rates!

On the subject of art replacement, Viga has provided a new “Technical Difficulties – we’ll be right back” card design for me as shown here, so that one’s been covered!
Thank you all for your continued patience during this difficult and busy holiday season and I’ll see you soon!
