Hey guys, I apologize for the silence lately. Been extremely busy with "life" for two years, and things are finally settling down, at least enough to start working on some projects that I've been planneing for many years. After all the hiccups and issues we've had in the past, we've finally started our brand new YouTube channel. Obviously, our intent is to quit our day jobs so we can work on the channel and the community full-time so we can bring servers back online and start doing give aways and charity streams, but that's far down the road at the moment because we have so few subscribers right now and I'm trying to build myself another computer to better facilitate live streams and record at 60 fps. We will get there, it's just going to take time. Feel free to discuss it in our forums here. We're sure that you've got just as many questions and concerns that we have. Should we do some long live streams? Should we open a Patreon? What games would you like to see us play?

Notice I've said "We" several times? It's been a long time coming, but I've finally been able to move from state to state until I could reach Minnesota, where all my old local friends call home. Right now, there are three of us who spend our weekends recording videos together for our new channel called "We Pway". Usually, there are only two of us at a time, but that may change soon, we're just dealing with schedules at the moment. We play single player games and multiplayer games, but no matter how many people are playing, there will always be at least two of us talking in the videos. We Pway will only feature co-op commentary. Solo videos with myself will still appear on my personal YouTube channel "WeirdPhil", which I've started uploading daily videos to in the last few weeks. That means, daily, we have two videos going up: 1 per day on WePway, and 1 per day on WeirdPhil. This will likely change in the future when we have more time to record together. Our goal is to have 2, possibly 3 videos per day on We Pway, with another 1, possibly 2 videos per day on WeirdPhil. This is all going to depend on our own personal schedules in addition to how many views and subscribers we can get. We can backlog our We Pway videos like other popular channels do, but the videos that go up on WeirdPhil are uploaded the same exact day they are recorded, so you can never know for sure what game I'm going to play on WeirdPhil.

As mentioned earlier, the amount of videos we can put up each day, and the games that we play, will depend on the fans. If we, as a channel, can grow, I can get more people to collaborate with, and hopefully hire someone to edit my videos for me. Editing videos takes just as much time, if not more time, to complete than recording the video, and rendering that video for YouTube takes hours to do, and I can't record videos while I'm rendering other ones. Getting that second computer built and hiring an editor will make the process much faster and smoother. We need your help to get there, and we really appreciate the help and support you've provided in the past. For that, thank you so much.

When you guys have some free time, please check out (maybe subscribe to?) our new channel "We Pway", check out the new videos coming to "WeirdPhil", and be sure to hit that those Like buttons and share the videos with your friends. Tell your friends how much you like them!

Once again, due to lack of updates from the devs (come guys, one update in a year and a half? This is still early access, but really?) we have shut down the Starbound server. We may bring it back again in the future when the server is able to sustain itself. Right now, I need to focus less on Twitch streaming and more on YouTube uploads, as YouTube will pay for servers and Twitch does not do that for me yet. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm hoping that Chucklefish can get Starbound to version 1.0 so we have a reason to keep the server up.

The server for Starbound is back up. It has a new address and password. Please check the Starbound Sub-Forums here in the group for the latest information to start playing on the server.

Please, check out my most recent discussion that I've posted in our Group's forums. I've typed up a lengthy post in regards to the current situation with our Starbound Server. It's been empty in there for a while now, and the game itself hasn't been updated in quite a while too. The server will be going on a little vacation and can/will be back someday. Head on over to our Steam Group's Starbound discussions for the details and you can even let us know what you think about this decision.

The Starbound server is looking pretty good so far. It's been a couple weeks since I made it available to our Steam group members. If you own Starbound, you can get the server details here in our Steam group's discussions (Starbound sub-forums located on the right side of the window). Feel free to bring your friends with you. You can invite others to join the group, just ask them to subscribe to my YouTube channel (weirdphilp) and let them know they can help keep the servers running by watching my videos. The success of my YouTube channel will pay for the servers. You don't need to spend any money, just a little bit of your time.

As the Starbound server has been going for a little while, I'm looking into setting up our next server. It may take another month or so depending on how fast my YouTube channel grows. I am strongly considering No More Room in Hell to be the next game, or possibly just upgrading the Starbound server for more player slots, or adding another Starbound server alltogether in another location. The current Starbound server is located in Dallas Texas, and I can certainly migrate that server or add another server somewhere else that would be a bit more closer to others. Please let me know what you guys think by adding to our discussion forums in the Steam group. Add more slots? More servers? More games?
