Newsletter: Too Many Videos, Not Enough Time!
Thanks to the 87 of you who choose to receive these emails from me to keep updated on what I'm doing and the videos I make. You guys are the hardcore supporters for sure :) I'll try to explain another busy two weeks in this email and bring you guys up to date so you're sure you didn't miss anything.
Car Testing Returns!
With the release of the Heists DLC on Tuesday I had my work cut out for me to test the new vehicles. First I had to complete all the heists to unlock all the vehicles, which was no easy task considering I did all but the first in a single day! Then I had to spend a day testing the vehicles so I could get the video out on Friday. It was a tough week and a few other videos got pushed back but I'm glad I was able to bring the video out as soon as possible and it has already been well received. I hope Rockstar allows us to just purchase future DLC cars from the start though!

Multi-Class Endurance Championship In Full Swing
With the heists video taking up last week I wasn't able to get the fourth round of the multi-class endurance championship video done, but since we had a week break it wasn't too much of an issue and the MCEC returns live next Sunday for round five in the rain. Hopefully the video for round four will be done this week and released on Friday, but I'll admit I definitely feel I have more videos to make than time to make them! It's worth the wait though - we had a record 582 people viewing live on twitch for the crazy end of the race. Round three was released the week before though and was a cracker!

Rallycross Comes To GTA
I've been a fan of Rallycross racing for a few years now and GTA seemed the perfect place to try it out. I created a rallycross version of LSGP (among others including kart track and classic variation) in the next LSGP variations video, and a day later debuted the official rules for Rallycross racing on GTA. This should prove to be a lot of fun!

Comebacks Galore!
In the last email I mentioned how the GTA Live Racing series was making a return and it has done so with a bang! The latest two videos were both taken from live streams and show some pretty crazy racing comebacks. Some of the best races I've ever done here (not counting MCEC of course).

Rockstar Live Stream
So last week was really busy due to heists, but the week before was just as bad since myself and Shaggy featured on Rockstar's official GTA live stream in a crew battle. It didn't go quite how we expected though. For the full story see the following discussion videos if you haven't already.

More Live Shenanigans
I've started uploading GTA Live videos every Wednesday and Saturday. These are stream highlights that I just couldn't go without showing everyone who didn't catch them the first time. Broughy Island was finally shown over the last two weeks, and these will be back to their more often twice-weekly schedule from this point on.

The Aftermath - GTA Live #11
It's been one hell of a fortnight in terms of stress, activity, video making, and generally being busy. It also doesn't look set to let up this week with RL Racing and MCEC round four videos (my two most time consuming series) still to be done. But hopefully I'll be able to get on top of it and get back to some kind of normality :) Thanks again for subscribing to these emails! I appreciate it!

From January to October 2015 I sent a newsletter every two weeks which linked all the videos I’d published during that time, helping those who signed up to not miss anything. It spawned from a CGP Grey idea/blog post and led to me creating one of the worst clickbait videos I’ve ever made. The short-lived newsletter did have some limited success with over 100 sign-ups, but eventually proved too much effort for the small benefits as social media and other ways to connect with viewers grew significantly faster. All of the newsletters I sent have been brought over here for archival purposes, as they formed a baseline for what would become the monthly Patreon blogs that started in September 2016 with “The Big Patreon Update”.
