 Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny, welcome back to another video. It's been about half a month since you last heard that intro and I'm making a quick update slash vlog video to explain what I've been doing the past like half a month and most importantly what you can expect from the channel going into the new year. I don't really have any script for this video, I never tried to make a script for vlog videos and update videos which may be a bad thing cause maybe there's something I want to touch upon that I forget to mention but I'm just gonna run with it because I I do owe you guys an update even though I did make a community post though I actually don't know how well effective those things are so I'm making a video quickly before we can hop back into regularly scheduled uploads but basically I had to take a little bit of a mental break which honestly I'm very very glad I did. Usually whenever there's breaks in the upload schedule it's just because either I take too long a video or I just straight up lose motivation to make videos at that time but never do I actually take like a dedicated break I feel like this is probably the first one I had where I realized you know I told myself in my head stop focusing on uploading just focus on planning out your day relaxing enjoying a break from uploading and you know once we start to get that motivation back then we can start talking about videos going into the new year which is something I have done and something I'm pretty proud of I have basically the entire month of January planned out with videos and to be completely honest up front the first week of January is gonna be a bunch of FNAF news that I missed out on during my break I know I still need to talk about the movie castings we got a few more products a brand new wave from Funko that was leaked as well as a whole bunch of FNAF plus stuff so again that first full week of January is gonna be a bunch of catching up on news videos and I know some people can get pretty annoyed with that I get a lot of comments like this is old news why are you talking about it this is old news you know stop saying it's new news this is old news you're late you're bad which I'm exaggerating a little bit but again I do want to catch up on news that I missed cuz I owe it to you guys I mean I'm a freaking FNAF news reporter it'd be kind of dumb just to skip over it cuz oh I was on break then we don't even need to talk about it you know you know a bunch of other people have talked about it I do still want to make videos on those so just to set expectations that's gonna be like the first main week of January is gonna be catching up on news but before I keep talking about future stuff I want to quickly talk about this past year and most importantly the fact that we had 50,000 subscribers right before the year closes which was our goal for the year and I'm so so happy we were able to hit it so thank you guys so so much for the support recently it's been it's it's really helped again with losing motivation and you know mental health slowly draining towards the latter half of this year but you know getting that 50k before the year's end was really really sweet and I can't thank you guys enough for that I'm pretty proud of the year we had I think you know there was a few gaps with uploads here and there which again is a new year's resolution I'm gonna try and fix going into 2023 but other than that I'm pretty proud of the stuff we achieved a lot of awesome FNAF news videos a bunch of new series that came out including playing other games that aren't FNAF like Poppy Playtime and Choo Choo Charles and Bendy in the Dark Revival like I really do enjoy playing other horror games that aren't just FNAF and that is something I do want to do more going into we're not going into the new year but during 2023 has touched upon some other games that I like that aren't necessarily FNAF like for a very long time I've wanted to go back and play Tattletail because I freaking love Tattletail and also maybe a few granny's games maybe play Baldy every now and then I don't know we'll have to see about Hello Neighbor though I mean after seeing the reviews for Hello Neighbor 2 not really sure if we want to go play that series again but we'll see how that goes but yeah a bunch of other games I want to touch upon it for new for the new year I'm also really happy with how blocks talks has turned out so far kind of like my version of mogul male that's the inspiration behind that series which a few people caught on to but I really enjoyed talking about that you know we've got some very interesting subjects like Lego FNAF and Candyland in the cloak situation and while most of them are just kind of one-off dramas I do think if you look behind that slightly it's another way to like take a peek behind the curtains in the FNAF community see what people think about certain subjects and I think that's why I'm enjoying it a bunch so far and yes yes I know I've been talking about a follow-up to the Candyland video for quite a while now that's still in the works it's actually one of the videos I have planned for sometime this month and while we're on the topic of videos that I've talked about and haven't released yet a Halloween episode that's been a real real pain in the butt video to upload just because there are so many clips and it's such a complex topic surprisingly but just to give you a little hint my brother and I took a trip halfway across the country to that you know FNAF haunted house that took place in Ohio and that's basically our story flying out there experiencing the attraction and then also the aftermath of what happened with the place that hosted that and the drama surrounding it so it's gonna be a very interesting video again it's something I got to frickin get done because not only have I been pressuring myself to get done I've also got my brother and his friends who are trying to see it and a bunch of you guys who keep commenting commenting like where's the Halloween special it's coming also sometime this month I promise you but again I'm just really content with the videos we were able to pump out this year and I'm hoping we can go just a bit further beyond with 2023 there's a few other you know series I want to continue like I said playing other games that aren't just FNAF continuing blocks talks I'm also currently walking on getting a podcast set up with some FNAF people you may know right now we've got I don't know if I should confirm but quite a few people on board I think it's gonna be really cool I've also got an artist who's gonna be making some thumbnails for those podcast episodes and my god do they look amazing I honestly can't wait for you guys to see these thumbnails because they look fantastic her name's Rhea she's been a massive massive help with a whole bunch of art recently like I said those thumbnails for the podcast which hopefully will be coming out sometime this month that's the goal I'm not sure how frequent episodes will be I'm gonna try and aim for maybe one every week or one every two weeks but we'll have to wait and see yeah Rio's great she made a new banner for the channel she also made a design for some upcoming holiday themed merchandise which again should be launching very very soon she's absolutely fantastic please please go check her out her Instagram is gonna be linked down below and I think that's it for talking about this past year and now I know I've briefly touched upon some things I want to do for next year but just a few more nitpicks I want to do a bunch more live streams including a few charity streams every now and then I think my goal right now is to try and aim for one around mid-February kind of around Valentine's Day I also want to get back into doing game shows those FNAF game shows if you were around for Fazbear's Fortune which was admittedly just a Jeopardy ripoff it was pretty fun I really really freaking enjoyed it I want to try and get another one of those up and running because again that was a plas to work on I had so much fun during those episodes I'll probably start dipping my hand my hands my toes into shorts as well I've been doing a few every now and then for the past couple months or I guess technically the past year those absolutely pop off if you do them right and I think it's gonna be a really really good way to help us try and get to a hundred K which is gonna hopefully be the end goal for 2023 getting that silver plaque and overall I think my main new year's resolution is just to get better at scheduling not only for videos and content and streams and stuff like that but personal life too for a very very long time I've been going to bed at just the most disgusting of hours nearly 3 a.m. and waking up at like 11 sometimes even noon it's really not healthy and I think setting a personal schedule a daily schedule for myself is really gonna help out with mental health physical health and also content going to bed at reasonable hours waking up at reasonable hours working out showering and then hop into recording for a couple hours editing live streaming in the afternoon doing all that fancy YouTube stuff and then towards the later you know later part of the afternoon going in tonight just chill out take some time you know some loan time as a personal side note I've actually started to keep track of all of the shows and movies I watch which is actually making me want to watch more movies and dedicate more time to personal experiences and actually it's working out hey it's working out pretty good if I do say so myself yeah I do I've just I've fallen I've fallen in love with watching movies and consuming shows usually I wasn't that type of person because some shows can be really really freaking long and always at the back of my mind when I was watching a show I was like I could be walking on videos or I could just be like doing something productive but just taking time to yourself you know late at night getting relaxed getting ready for bed I think it's really gonna help that's a bit of a personal update and some personal goals but I think I've covered everything in this video again I do apologize for kind of disappearing though I mean I wasn't completely gone I was still posting for naff news on Twitter I'm still active in my discord which I got a new discord I guess it'll be linked down below keep in mind though the verification is pretty strict I was also on Phil's stream Visnum the fnaf plus creator that dude he did a charity stream for the Trevor project he raised like a whole bunch of money he played security breach glitchless which took like three days it was an amazing stream I was so so honored to um to be invited on that stream it's one of those things where it's like damn I will never be able to like interact with this person or I'll never be able to like you know hang out with all these people so much larger and more successful than me and then it happens and it's like how did we get here and I guess just to round out this upload this upload update video I just want to give a massive shout out to all of the creators and other influencers and just other people I've met in the industry I don't want to name off names because then I'm gonna forget people but you know who you are you mean a lot thank you so much and also thank you for watching me watching me why are you watching me also tell me about the new camera this is a new camera I don't know if there's much of a difference but I got it for for Christmas by the way I hope you all had a good Christmas or holidays whatever you know if you celebrated something different like Hanukkah or Kwanza or hey maybe you don't celebrate anything you just had a good good winter good end of the year this is going up

Christmas dinner and you got to share it with people feel free to let me know in the comments but I hope everyone's doing good and just thank you so much for sticking with me for five years of Johnny
