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
- New Year’s Eve: We stayed home during New Year’s Eve. We had some fireworks but that stuff is expensive. My oldest son has always been somewhat hesitant about fireworks but he was game this year, so I got to teach him some tricks. My youngest son didn’t want to sleep so we played some games till midnight. My Parents & Brother Visited.
- Xmas: I forgot to add this in my December update. We didn’t have any initial plans for Xmas but a few days ahead of the event, my wife sent out a WhatsApp message to the family that we weren’t doing anything and if anyone wanted to stop by for a cup of coffee or so, then they are more than welcome. Well, the 2 days were packed. Day 1: Xmas Lunch with Sister-in-Law and their kids. Xmas Dinner with the Parents-in-Law. Day 2: Xmas Dinner with my other Sister-in-Law with her family.
- Birthday: My son, Mike, turned 6 years old. He was delightfully surprised when he found out we decorated the living room in the middle of the night. Overjoyed by his presents and his Batman Birthday cake. My mom and father-in-law also celebrated their b-day this month.
Website
I’m constantly thinking about how I can improve the site and level up my work. On the one side, I feel like I’m not moving fast enough, and on the other side, I see major improvements. There is still a lot to tackle and create, and a new game is on the horizon that will consume my time.
- Reworked Ads on the site because the Ads Provider recently changed their tools and things weren’t fully implemented yet.
- The Giveaway wrapped up and I sent the winners their prizes, Steam codes for the Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box provided by 2K Games.
- Updated software backend of the current website and the new site.
- MentalMars V4: I reworked some of the templates.
Borderlands 4
Gearbox Software stated their next reveal will be in early 2025 so if news drops, I’ll be all over that!
- Theorist about a Borderlands 4 Prequel DLC and created a YouTube video based on this idea.
