Ladies, Gentlemen and Children of all ages…your dear old GrizzlyBearSims has managed to claw his way back to YouTube! The last time I recorded, edited and published a video the calendar still showed us in Spring and here we are three months later, I managed to at the very least get a video recorded, edited and uploaded while the calendar still shows Summer. I’m back and most importantly, I’m really glad to be back.
I started the GBS YouTube channel for one primary reason and that was to entertain and help others. I’ll admit that I often became somewhat sidetracked from my initial focus and allowed YouTube to somewhat take over my life. Before I realized this was happening, I was knee deep in a heavy work travel schedule and just had to put some distance between myself and the YouTube content creation work. But life has calmed down, we’re back from our Europe vacation and my batteries are mostly recharged.
Making Changes
As I discuss in the video which will release today, I’m returning to YouTube but a few things are going to change with how I operate. As previously mentioned, I already have a career and I’m not looking for a second one. So I’m going to return back to my roots of recording and producing content as a way of having fun and helping others. I’m throwing away the schedule concept as I’ve tried and failed multiple times to stick to a release schedule. Videos will be release when they are available. This might mean some weeks you may see one, two or perhaps even more and some weeks there may be none.
Shamrock Valley
I’m making my return to YouTube playing the new Shamrock Valley map. I like it, it reminds me of Thornton Farm and Coldborough Park Farm I suppose. I’m also playing this series without the Seasons Mod. I made the decision to omit the Seasons Mod from my game play this time around in an effort to prevent me from getting bored with the map too soon. We’ll see how it goes.
Join Me
I hope you’ll join me on this new adventure. I have some stories to catch you all up on my activities over the past three months and might even try to role play from time to time as well. But no promises. Let’s just do some farming on a beautiful map and enjoy the journey.
