CLS: A Week in Review (March 16, 2018)
Added 2018-03-16 19:01:00 +0000 UTCHey All,
Welcome to the first CLS Weekly Update! I’ll be posting each Friday afternoon (PT) in order to catch you up on various happenings and issues of importance pertaining to Colin’s Last Stand from the previous seven days.
Most (if not all) of you are profoundly busy individuals, just like me, and I know you don’t have the time or inclination to be constantly plugged into the content you like to consume (and the creators you kindly support). So consider this your CLS One Stop Shop, where anything and everything of import from the last week is put here, in this post, for you to browse, watch, listen to, and provide feedback for/on at your convenience.
Here are this week’s new shows!
Side Quest, Episode 15: The 10 Remasters/Remakes We Need (Audio)
Fireside Chats, Episode 28: The Cryptocurrency Movement
KnockBack, Episode 5: We Love G.I. Joe (and Other ‘80s Toy Talk)
In case you missed ‘em, here are last week’s new shows!
Side Quest, Episode 14: Violent Video Games Don’t Kill People (Audio)
Fireside Chats, Episode 27: Gun Control, Trump, and A New Conservatism
KnockBack, Episode 4: How Twilight Zone Inspired Our Love of Sci-Fi
Other things you may care about…
Have you voted in the Side Quest Topic Primary for March yet?
Have you voted in the KnockBack Topic Primary for March yet?
Did you submit your question for March’s Q&A video?
Finally, in case you missed it, I posted new information about the $50/month tier. At this tier, you typically would get a handwritten postcard or letter from me in the mail, which I loved doing, and will continue to do from time to time. But now, moving forward, we’re gonna start doing exclusive monthly art from Dagan Moriarty (my brother, co-host of KnockBack, and Lead Designer at Sesame Workshop).
This month’s special piece of art is attached to this post, and it celebrates KnockBack’s first episode, which was about The Empire Strikes Back. This picture represents all six bounty hunters from the film, and you can read more about the art here. The important thing to note is that this art will only be available if you support at that level (or higher) this month, and then it’ll go away and make room for something new. These prints will be on high quality paper, and will each be signed by Dagan. Oh, and one supporter at that level will be randomly selected to receive a one-of-a-kind bounty hunter painting from Dagan! So, if you’re interested, we’d love your support.
One final, important note. Patreon has worked with me to shut off all notifications coming from CLS this weekend. This is because I'm going through all posts and manually tagging them to make them more searchable for my audience. Patreon's backend mysteriously sends notifications out when tags are updated, so if notifications aren't shut off, you'd get hundreds of them over the weekend as I updated. If you receive any notifications this weekend, please tell me in the comments as soon as humanly possible. You shouldn't... but just in case!
Likewise, notifications should be turned on in time for Monday's Side Quest, so if you don't see notifications for that, feel free to let me know.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I’m wishing you and yours the best. ‘Til we speak again! -Colin

Hey Colin, thanks for the reply! I had been very busy with some personal things lately so the announcement must have slipped past me. Good to know what's going on, keep up the great work with knockback, loving it so far! Been a fan since the beyond 200 days so it's great seeing you enjoy and thrive on new projects. BEYOND!

2018-03-19 01:39:38 +0000 UTCHey Ben! You may have missed the announcements; CLS Prime is on indefinite hiatus so I can concentrate on KnockBack. I'm hoping to bring it back in some form (probably longer videos, much more sporadically released) later this year, but nothing firm to announce yet.

2018-03-19 01:30:01 +0000 UTCNice to see the new updates, I'm excited to see them each week. Does anyone know what's going on with the last stand episodes? Recently I noticed a lack of uploads in the last month or so? Was just curious when there might be a fresh injection of content

2018-03-18 22:57:56 +0000 UTCYou’re not the only one. I actually binge watched the entire first season! 👍🏻😂

2018-03-17 14:46:32 +0000 UTCYoure doing a solid job with the business/brand development of your venture. Love the progression.

2018-03-17 10:44:00 +0000 UTCI'm glad you find it useful! I don't want anything slipping through the cracks. =)

2018-03-17 04:31:36 +0000 UTCThank you! You also.
Colin Moriarty
2018-03-17 04:31:18 +0000 UTCEnjoy your weekend Colin!
2018-03-17 01:13:03 +0000 UTCThank you! I understand that you are busy, so I appreciate it. I am a teacher, and I type a weekly letter for parents, and it's not needed and takes time, but I still feel it is helpful... and I feel this is similar for you!

2018-03-17 00:20:41 +0000 UTCYou're definitely not the only one to watch, but you're the only one who drew that connection, as far as I can tell!
Colin Moriarty
2018-03-16 23:16:49 +0000 UTCDefinitely have it updated but havent tried deleting it and reinstalling it will give that a shot
2018-03-16 23:02:22 +0000 UTCAm I the only one who actually watched a few twilight zone episodes after last week’s KnockBack, and while enjoyable was slightly disappointed to find they knew how most of the popular episodes end thanks to Treehouse of Horror parodies?
Steven S
2018-03-16 23:00:38 +0000 UTCSounds like a Patreon/app problem. Have you deleted your app and tried to download it again? Have you updated it?

2018-03-16 21:19:41 +0000 UTCI'm glad this'll be useful!

2018-03-16 21:19:19 +0000 UTCExcellent update Colin, i wonder if this means the phantom notifications that don’t disappear will finally stop, for like 2 months even if ive gone to view the posts the number at the top of notifications has said 3 and i cant get rid of this (i also have this issue with KF and KFG)
2018-03-16 21:03:33 +0000 UTCThis is a fantastic idea, great post! Like you mentioned, it's not always easy to listen through/watch content as it drops.
Mario Miranda
2018-03-16 20:27:41 +0000 UTCPerfect, thank you!
Colin Moriarty
2018-03-16 20:21:07 +0000 UTCGood stuff Colin! I will post this in the FB group, as I'm sure there will be many fans who may have missed something!

2018-03-16 19:29:18 +0000 UTCWe need a fireside discussion about this, that's awesome!
Owen
2018-03-16 19:19:47 +0000 UTCAs far as I know, he's mostly involved with Sesame Studios stuff, and was one of the players in bringing Sesame Street to China (and with the Sesame Street English thing). But really, I don't know the ins and outs. I think that when cartoon stuff appears on Sesame Street proper, there's a chance he worked on it. Here's an example: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pexqQ5Q20Qw&sns=em&ab_channel=SesameStudios" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pexqQ5Q20Qw&sns=em&ab_channel=SesameStudios</a>

2018-03-16 19:17:48 +0000 UTCMaybe I've missed this somewhere but does that mean Dagan works on Sesame Street?
