An Update and the "Sekret Project" proposal.

I say shoot for the deadline but with the understanding that it's ambitious and is highly likely to slip, and that's okay. Don't push at the expense of your sanity or health. You've earned your break, I would hate to see you come back from it and push even harder and burn out even more.

I like the idea - I think the turn around date you made up might be too tight. I would suggest going at a comfortable pace and if you hit your target date, cool. If not, that's fine.

I love this idea. But that said do what ever and I am certain it will be awesome. The drek you and your team gets up to always lifts my spirits and makes me smile. <3

I’m going to be running some Battletech games at my local convention later this month, and the Hunchback video convinced me to rework the beginner scenario so that I could incorporate that wondrous machine. Thank you for the inspiration, you magnificent bastards! As for Sekret Project…OH HELL YES!

As long as its 'Directors Cut', as you said. I always liked the idea of a revisit on the shorter ones. However, you and the team should take some time off after. That is my proposal on the matter. Keep trucking Tex and Team. I am shot from reservist boogaloo, so I know exhaustion is not a nice friend.

I'm all for the Sekret Project, just as long as you and your team aren't burning your candles at both ends TOO much this year. Your health, sanity, and bank accounts matter too, you know.

+1 to the Sekret Projekt. The Hunchback video was the perfect length in my opinion as it was your goal to have a high-quality feature length video, and you succeeded in it perfectly. Only do the [redacted] if you are physically up to it though, don't burn yourself out. Thanks again for all you and the team do, Tex.

100% in favor of secret project, even if the timeline slips so that you have time to rest, and take care of yourself. There are other days that it would be appropriate to release on, should that be necessary.

Boss dude: I am going to be the one who goes against the grain. It's not the fact that I despise the trashcan, I am looking at the big picture. You have been running at a 125% for 300+ days. Long hours and long covid and stress = no bueno. We can wait for the urbie, and we can sure as heck wait for the vehicle guide. As for the Black Knight, or as "Snuggles Time" would say, the "The Knight of Color", you can slow down to a moderate pace, you have been working on drafts for a while now. This is where one of the few times I will turn the drama to ON: Tex, I will beg you on my knees, slow the fuck down and rest. This is the equivalent of Gaius Caninius Rebilus telling Caesar, Sir please don't do this.

I propose that the secret project is a go, IF, you only research and script it, not direct. You're in no condition to do so. Of couse, who will direct and their pay... ? I think, if the team really wants to do it, they can be paid, for this function only, in authorship.

I support the secret project, but only if it doesn't actually cause harm to any of you. I'm not so keen to see it that I want to hear you've all run yourselves into the ground to make it (read in stern mother voice).

Two thumbs up on the secret project!

Urbie, yes. Christmas no since I'd like to see you survive to do more content!

Pinky promis. Now rest before I start throwing BOars head hot dogs at you!!!! But yes seeing redo of the old vids would nice. But duded you come first. Also if you ever think about making dvd of your videos for charity drive?

If anyone calls you lazy Tex, you punch them right in the squidlyspooge, for never have they uttered a more slanderous lie. Now then. I do hereby solemnly swear to not speak of trashcans, or trashcan shaped objects, in or outside an urban environment, until such time as you deem it approriate. That said, as someone who has watched the TTB series from the start, seeing some of the old videos revisited in the new format is certainly something that would be most lovely. HOWEVER, this is contingent on the premise that you do not do unreasonable harm to yourself in doing so. As i know you often discourage people from the parasocial relationship, let me put this in transactional terms: I support the black pants legion and the TTB series because i enjoy the content, and i want more of it. If you work yourself to death and inhability, that will make it unlikely that that will happen. Please care for your health. That said, if anyone knows you, surely it is you, so if you think this is doable, then i will look forward to Christmas trashcan ^^

I like the sound of split vehicle video. But you talked about a lot of projects while working in two places. I find it too much. Please rest.

Urbie! Urbie! Urbie! However, its not worth you burning yourself and other out. Hustle, not crunch
