Hey and welcome to another Channel Update. In these blogs, I want to give you an update on what has been going on in my life and on the website as I strive to create a kickass resource for you.

Personal
- Finished Mario Wonder with my youngest Son. He did okay early on but the later levels are pretty challenging. He also didn’t like I was able to jump higher in the flag pole so he found a nice solution to that. My son started playing Yoshi, which means that he can’t die from enemies but I can also ride on his back. That way we both are at the same height in the flag pole and we both get the Wonder Seed as a reward <3
- Also did a solo run of Mario Wonder and completed the Special World but I haven’t unlocked the secret “FINAL, FINAL” level yet as you need to get all the collectables and reach the top on each flagpole.
Website
Work on MentalMarsV4 continues to go long. This is where I invest most of my time now.
Push Notifications! The service I was previously using for Push Notifications has discontinued their support and the application isn’t sending out all the notifications anymore and soon won’t be able to send out anything due to changes in Google’s Firebase. Therefore, I changed to a new Push Notification service. Sadly I can’t transfer everyone who previously signed up for this feature. Please consider resubscribing to the new service.
Borderlands
- The Borderlands Community managed to raise over $76K for St Jude during The Hunt.
- I managed to do 13 interviews for my new “On The Hunt” series and combined them into 4 articles. So awesome that these lovely folks shared their perspectives and helped raise awareness for St. Jude!
- What to expect from Borderlands EchoVision Live. This was a fun project as I not just explained what this was going to be but I also made a video that contained an animated mock-up of the experience. It was a lot of work but it’s something you are not gonna see from any other creator.
- Everything You Can Expect From Borderlands in 2024. This also contains a video where I animated a Borderlands HUD and many other things.
- New SHiFT Codes are still being added relatively quickly. These last few weeks they were on the site within 30 minutes.
- Black Market also gets updated super quick, might just be the fastest source out there.
- The Borderlands Movie Trailer finally dropped, I also did a breakdown.
WARNING! I know everyone is looking forward to the first Borderlands 4 info, however, the game hasn’t been announced just yet. That said, some social media posts by the official Borderlands social channel have mistakenly been interpreted as Borderlands 4 Teasers.
- The “New” Borderlands Twitter Banner is actually from the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box.
- The “Story So Far…” teaser on Social Media is just repurposing an old trailer that GBX/2K used to get everyone up to speed on the Borderlands story so far.
- Tales From The Borderlands 2 was an oopsy
