Hey guys! A new brutalmalls will be hitting your YouTube subscription box tomorrow, but today I’m here with some website updates. I’m feeling really motivated to work on this place lately. Since I usually produce content for other platforms, I’m trying to come up with ways to make my website a place worth visiting every now and again. It’s nice having your own corner of the internet, I think, I just need to make mine interesting.

the jukebox

You’ll notice at the bottom of the screen that there’s a fancy schmancy new jukebox of sorts! It features some of my own music, as well as other offerings like a couple of tracks from my good friend Yungtown. I’m hoping to expand the playlist whenever possible, whether it be with my own music or more songs provided by talented friends.

The neat thing about this jukebox is that the music should follow you around the site and pick up where you left off on the previous page. I’ve been testing it out and it seems to work pretty well! As long as you stay away from your browser’s back button, that is. I hope you enjoy the tunes!

e-mail alerts

On the homepage of this site – directly under the list of recent posts – you’ll notice a place to subscribe to email alerts for brutalmoose.com. In theory, you’ll receive an email each time a post is posted to the posts section. I say that it’s a theory because I actually haven’t tested it yet. This post is will serve as a trial run, I’m hoping to receive an email about it shortly after I submit it to the site.

If it doesn’t work, I’m sure I’ll scramble to delete the post, or at least edit it to say that it’s still under construction. I think that it should work though. This is a huge step forward for brutalmoose.com. RSS is the past, electronic mail is the future.

The RSS feed isn’t going anywhere, though, so feel free to still subscribe to that.

conclusion

That’s it for today! Like I said, a new brutalmalls video will be up tomorrow. It’s ready and waiting in the wings as I type. Hope you guys enjoy it! I’m thinking I might do the Uncle Nick-a-thon tomorrow as well… so look out for that over on Twitch, as well.

hey guys! just wanted to do a little update post since i haven’t been able to do a stream in a little while. here we go!

videos

New brutalmalls video is nearly complete! I honestly wanted this one to be out already, but I’ve ended up editing it a lot more than expected (in a good way). I think it’s looking really slick and the extra time working on it was definitely worth it. That video will come some time around the 19th, before Christmas!

WELL, that means the Christmas collab movie review video is going to be late. But would it really be a brutalmoose holiday special if it wasn’t late? Editing has already started on this one, Luke is actually helping me with some of that this time around so it’ll get done faster. I just have a strong feeling that it’s gonna be late, but I’ll try as hard as I can to get it done in December. It’s going to be a good one regardless of release date, though, the movie is fucking insane.

stream

After I wrap on this mall video, we gotta do the Uncle Nick-a-thon. I really want to watch Uncle Nick and see how hard he goes on Christmas. I bet it’ll be a rager. I’m also planning on doing a Christmas-y fanmail opening stream when I get the time. After that, who knows! Can’t pin down when these’ll happen, but when they do it’ll be fun!

I’m also doing a Danger Squad-esque video game challenge stream thing hosted by my friend Todd. So, some time soon you will see me attempt and horribly fail and various video game challenges. I’m supposed to have it done by tomorrow but (guess what) i’m probably going to be late.

life

My life outside of these 2 things have consisted of decorating for christmas and playing old school runescape. That’s all.

So how are you guys doing? What do you want for Christmas?

While editing the latest Mystery Tapes video, I was sure to set aside all the bumpers and commercials I came across so that I could add them to the semi-fresh MysteryTapesArchive channel that I started.

Click here for a compilation of Fox Kids ’97 bumpers and commercials, without having to listen to me blab about them! There’s plenty of stuff in here that didn’t make the cut of the video, too.

meowdy everybody! it’s been a little while but i’m here with an update post.

website refresh

i have returned to work on my website once more. inspired by my playing through of Hypnospace Outlaw with brutalbf (we’re really enjoying the game), as well as my recent friend Bryce’s new website, i have started to refresh the visuals and features of my website. please excuse any broken website things as i change it up.

is my site missing anything that you’d like to see? let me know!

new videos loom

a new Mystery Tapes will release this week! most likely tomorrow, but there’s an outside chance that it’ll be tuesday. it’s been a while since last i uploaded which is unfortunate, but i think this is a solid entry in the series. although it’s not filmed on VHS this time, unfortunately. i’m hoping it won’t be a huge deal to people, but if it takes away from the show significantly i’ll try to go back to filming on tape. i’ve been trying some different video production strategies lately, and tape-filming wasn’t really realistic this time around.

along with this new Mystery Tapes entry I’ve also got a new brutalmalls video in the editing stage, and a collab movie review with Yungtown set to be filmed tomorrow. it feels good to be spinning multiple plates at once! this way if i’m not really feeling a video for whatever reason, i can take a break to work on something else. hopefully this means videos more frequently for you, the viewer.

a third thing

i’m really trying to get my Twitch stream rolling lately! definitely not streaming as much as in my peak just yet, but we’ve got fanmail rolling again, and i’ve done some classic streams like Coin Game, chillTruck, and chillScape recently. i’ve also done some VHS watching streams, which have been lots of fun. be sure to drop by if you like chill streams! would love to see you there.

bye bye

that’s all for now! i hope you enjoy the new Mystery Tapes video. i’ll try to start posting here a bit more often.

“meow”

When I first made this website (in January 2020), I was running away from social media and wanted this to be a place where I could post without sending out notifications to anybody, so I disabled the brutalmoose.com RSS feed.

Well, I’m currently trying to un-hide myself after my long hibernation, and in the spirit of letting people actually follow what I’m doing I’ve re-enabled the RSS Feed! So if you’re a grandpa or grandma who still uses RSS technology, you can now follow my site for new post notifications! Isn’t that neat?

more info at https://brutalmoose.com/pobox/

also thank you to everyone who has left a voicemail on the new BMBS phone line! i got WAY more calls than i expected, now i just have to figure out what i want to do with them all. stay tuned!

it’s not quite done yet but here’s a little taste

(also posted on twitter)

This is an idea I’ve had for a while and I’m slowly rolling it out! The BrutalMoose Broadcast System now has an official phone number and voice mailbox. Give it a call and you can leave me a voice message, like it’s the 90’s again! I’m hoping to get some interesting messages, questions, or ideas that I can make video responses to, but you can also just call and say hey if you want!

1-800-808-IAN8
(or 1-800-808-4268)

I’ll Tweet/Stream this info eventually, but I want to test it out on just my website right now until I’m sure that it works. Then it can go out to the masses.
