I know that at least for me personally, take your time. I’ll always tune in to hear what you have to say. Been that way since the Bandicoot. Don’t burn out!
Im a fan that saddly can't support you financially, I got moey problems of my own, but Im rootin for ya all the way B, take your time, get good rest, and keep making great stuff! Your channel's really entertaining and puts a smile on my face everytime I watch man, Can't wait for the Bigger projects, and can't wait for the even smaller ones and I especially can't wait for more "Fish Peoople" 😂🤣😂🤣
As a relatively new B-Mask fan, I’m 100% down with any new content that you make. The Fantastic Four one is my personal favorite, primarily because anyone, FF fan or not, can understand it without having to know prior knowledge about everything the team stands for. That kind of widespread appeal and enjoyment is found in all of your videos, so, by all means, take your time in making them as polished as you desire.
@DerpRaptor That is such a great point, that I’ll admit I didn’t even think about since I’ve loved FF for so long. That is one of my all time favorite videos on YT.
I hope you’re able to reach your goal to make these videos more sustainable, they’re definitely worth the wait and are incredibly rewatchable, plus I love how varied your topics are. Would’ve never gotten into your amazing Fantastic Four video if the Scoobyverse, Better Call Saul and Spyro and Crash videos hadn’t gotten me hooked already, and still got a few I haven’t seen that I’m waiting for a good time to finally watch. Just watched the Monkey Island video (well the first one) recently and it was worth the wait, even like then when I’ve never played a single minute of a Monkey Island game it’s really entertaining and makes me want to try the first two out. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos :)
I've been watching your videos for a bit and am always astounded by their insightfulness, production value, and sheer passion! Not bowing to the UA-cam algorithm and instead focusing on what you are passionate about is ultimately what makes this channel so strong. That can make it hard to make it sustainable, but I've bit the bullet and become a Patron because channels like this are ultimately what I'm on UA-cam for. Hope I'm not the only one and that this video sparks enough people for this to become self-sufficient! Be sure to plug your Patreon each video if you haven't already, it's never annoying and may help grow this channel which is to the benefit of both you and the viewers who love the videos! Best of luck Bandicoot Mask ;)
Honestly glad for all of this transparency. I'm excited for all of the projects you teased. P.S. Video aside, don't think I missed the Ratchet and Clank Planet Eudora theme in the background.
You know I'm really flattered at the idea that I'm past needing to make that video as part of my brand, it's actually very comforting to hear. That said, I still want to do it. There's a lot of other really positive things I want to accomplish first, but discussing Sly 4 in some capacity was always planned, even if I can't say when that will be yet.
Hi B, I sincerely wish you find more stability in this work. I love your videos, you hooked me since I first saw your Sam & Max video and sort of stuck around since. And honestly? One of the better decisions I could have made. Something about your approach to unfamiliar subjects makes them feel like they share some common ground. It's less of a, "oh cool, he made a video about blank" and more, "oh cool, I get to learn about the intricacies that went into who knows what." A B- Mask video. And I like those :)
I used to think that I only wanted videos about videogames, from this channel, but then the Fantastic 4 video absolutely blew me out of the water, and watching your video about Better Call Saul, which I did not care about at all before, proved to me that I am very interested in watching ANYTHING that you are truly passionate about. I absolutely loved the CMTV video. Please keep up the good work. Take care of yourself. And keep being amazing.
Really appreciate the transparency on this one; I’ve been on and off as a patron, but I feel like I’d like to try and support you again for a longer stretch. You’ve not only produced some of the highest quality videos i see on my feed, you even made some of my favorites on this platform, like, ever. The Fantastic Four retrospective makes me eternally grateful that you were willing to put in the time to share their charm to the world with such gravitas. This all being said, and i know how silly it sounds to say after I’ve given you a ton of pressure, don’t sweat it. You’re still a human who isn’t always gonna be able to stay at peak performance 100% of the time, and I’m sure your fans, myself included, will be perfectly fine with you taking your time. Godspeed Bmask!
Hey B, I love your works man, though I know for me personally I often times delay watching your videos so I can experience the content on my own first before watching your reviews. I know I'm just one person among a sea of viewers, but perhaps that's why your viewership spikes after the fact? Whatever the case I hope you keep on making content, I look forward to every new video you put out, they're always funny and insightful and really, really entertaining.
You're hilarious, charismatic, talented, and enormously entertaining. Please don't worry about taking your time, you come first. Also, if you have a Patreon, I'd be happy to support you.
Welp! This convinced me to finally start supporting you. You've been my favorite youtuber for a while now, and now I think I'm finally financially settled enough to send you some money! I hope others in my situation will feel the same way. Keep doing what you're doing you perfect Madlad!
I’m really looking forward to your Marvel retrospective! I will always be thankful my recommended introduced me to your channel with your FF introspective, which is now one of my all time favorite videos on YT. You’re so extraordinary talented. I unfortunately didn’t realize I didn’t hit the bell when I subscribed (usually watch YT on my smart tv) but I remedied that. It’s refreshing to see any creator post a channel update with such transparency. Great to remind everyone what all goes into your retrospectives (and isn’t free) Please make sure you’re taking care of yourself (not to sound rude or assume you aren’t) after seeing more and more creators suffering from burnout and talking about it, it really makes me think about that more. Sorry my super thanks can’t be more right now, but it definitely won’t be the last one. I hope this helps! Keep up the amazing work you do and thanks for it! ❤️
Found your stuff during your quiet period when I was replaying the sly trilogy and have since watched every video you've made, even for stuff I'm not interested in. I always find your videos insightful articulate and all clearly come from a palpable passion for whatever the subject matter is. Make videos on whatever you choose and I'll back you to the end, you've easily became my favourite UA-camr.
I'm excited to watch anything you make, B! The marvel project has been really exciting to look forward too, but as long as you're enjoying it then I'm eager to watch. I'd even be down for a re-write video like you did way back when.
Man, this channel is just the coolest. That list got me excited for your upcoming videos. Next time the opportunity arrises for me I'm definitely helping out.
Patreon and channel sponsors are always a good idea. I personally love this channels for the high quality essay format on my favorite video games like Sly Cooper. I’d love to see your marvel project too and anything to do with the Ratchet and Clank series and how the series has changed over the years.
Hello, just wanna say been a long time fan of yours (first found you from the Cheshire Cat Studio bois. Dont know where they are now but looking back on thier attitudes then... i kinda dont wanna know) and I actually watched nearly all your videos. I just never have the time to comment on all of them. Just wanted to let you know that you have consistent viewers who may not always comment or make thier presence known.
Okay, I figured it out, the four videos are: -Tarantino -House of the Dead -Kramer -M*A*S*H* Nah seriously though, I've been watching your stuff and mostly lurking for years now, your fantastic four video is still something I throw on when I have a long drive ahead, once my own situation clears up soon, Ill be happy to chip in to the upkeep. I do prefer your current setup of talking about anything, cribbing off of whats currently going on doesnt really gel with your scripting I think, feels like youd need to rush things to keep it topical for the algorithm to pick up. Besides, through your videos Ive picked up watching Hill Street Blues and reading old FF. I much prefer a "Hey, look at this shit" approach.
Echoing a lot of other people here, I'm more than happy to wait and see the polished final product. Maybe if you were a huge studio with dozen of writers and artists, I might expect regular content; but because these are *_your_* passion projects, I much prefer to see what you create in the best form it can possibly be, and I'll wait as long as it takes for you to put everything together from the video dungeon.
Thanks so much! It took me a while to realise that doing what I do alone is actually not normal, and I think a lot of channels realise that the bigger the projects get. I've learnt how to ask people for help as the years have gone on but hopefully while maintaining the qualities people enjoy about my content, and I really hope I can continue to live up to that as I go on.
@@BMask That definitely makes sense, and I don't think asking for help with graphics/voices/music/etc. is a bad thing at all, and I'm glad it's a skill your learned and improved over time. The external help does really add to quality of the video as well. For instance, the voice acting on the F4 video was stellar! I think what I and a lot of fans appreciate is just the whole cohesiveness of your videos and the insights you have into whatever topics you are passionate about and presenting. To me, that's the magic ingredient to your videos that I'm always happy to patiently wait for you to get right; to really nail the analysis, conceptualize, and articulation. That's the piece that I'm happy waiting for you to get "just so", instead of you just pumping out a video that's "mostly on brand". Keep up the amazing work, and hopefully my praise doesn't add any extra pressure, because my intention was to do the opposite 😬
i'd personally love to hear your thoughts on sly 4 tbh. like take your time and all and while i'm not in a place to financially support you due to my own instability, i find myself rewatching your videos because they're so pleasant to listen to and watch. so i'd love to see them, no matter how long it takes
If you don't already I think you should definitely stream parts of your process like the editing, maybe even the script writing, BUT DEFINITELY THE GAMEPLAY! I like to catch YMS streams and watch his VODs for his script writing and I like watching UA-camr editing streams. I know it's a whole other ballpark and I'm not saying you should stream all the time on top of everything, it just might bring in extra money here and there if it doesn't add to your workload that is.
"A video I keep teasing about a certain show I think we should absolutely make _time_ for." "- An Analysis of a long running TV show" This really doesn't make any sense as a guess since, from what I can tell, you haven't been hinting at it at all, but... Doctor Who?
Mr. B Maskathan, I have never subbed to anyone on patreon. But you deserve it so I will chip in to help with the creative fund. Hope everything goes well. Your videos are always incredibly engaging and I'm always craving more. Keep it up!
Definitely give a try at some Twitch streams, it could be a good place for a more informal talk while playing some games that you would like to show off. Probably would take a bit to set up though.
Have you ever streamed playing the sly games? It might be silly but your sly cooper videos are my favorite youtube videos ever and seeing you do a playthrough would be awesome.
Had to take back my pledge recently as I'm in a similar situation, but will gladly support you again once I'm more financially stable. In terms of content you could offer on the patreon, I feel like unscripted content is the way to go (helps me put out several videos a week) and I'd love to just hear your thoughts on comic recommendations. It's a media I'm interested in and even got Mervel Unlimited for a few while some years ago, but it's just so overwhelming. Getting some solid recommendations for specific stories or some limited series would be great. Maybe do a poll here on the community tab so see what people would like to get as a reward.
No worries about having to take back for a bit, I know everyone's got to take care of themselves first and I really appreciated the support you gave in the time you did! These are also excellent ideas. A few people have mentioned unscripted content for patrons only and this has definitely got me thinking about stuff I could definitely do and be interested to do. Making a note as we speak, thanks so much!
I know I won't be the first to suggest this, and I am sure you have thought of it yourself, but how do you feel about video sponsors? Are you open to the idea of tacking on a sponsor read before or after your videos? (I assume and hope you won't do it in the middle) Would you take random athletic greens or Continental tyres money or would you be more choosy to get a sponsor that closely matches your content and personal ideals?
You know I tried to do a sponsorship once and it got really confusing. They weren't entirely legit, and a lot of the other sponsors seemed like weird bots with no actual deal on the table or things I couldn't work into my channel in any way I'd be happy with. I like the people who've made it work and it would certainly be a great way to cover my costs but, like, I really don't know what I'm doing in that department, I feel completely incompetent in that department. Maybe some day I'll figure it out.
We'll cover the psychic assistance. We don't get paid for making videos, and we certainly don't get paid for helping other tubers. We do it to show off.
Been here for a while and love your channel. The quality of the videos are always excellent! And I like that you talk about whatever you have an interest in, not chasing what most recently came out. Your points are interesting and well presented and I've enjoyed videos on topics I have 0 knowledge about or wouldn't normally watch (you're THAT good in my book) Glad you're asking for some help as I'll be honest, I'm so busy with life I forget to do these sorts of things. Off to patreon I go!
"A famous directors musical movies" ..... Is it Frank Oz? "A discussion of a popular Gaming Franchise" Awww we gonna get into Candy Crush! "A look at a Sitcom character" .... George Costanza? An Analysis of a long running tv show .... West Wing? Nah for real dude, I'm glad you're still making content and I'm going to check my bank account to see if I can help you out. Also! (In Alan Partridge voice) Idea for a programme... "You Asked For It" where you have the host B-Mask answer a bunch of questions that patrons and ko-fi donators asked where it's a looser format, less having to do so much editing. They ask you questions like "Who's your favourite power ranger" or "Do you think Bill Murray should cameo in a Fantastic Four film and WHO should he play?" Or "Who's your favourite Ruttle? Is it Barry Wom?" And make it free form, informative and maybe themed?.... It must not, repeat, not turn into an all night rave
Thanks for the transparency with the update man! You do seem to have a very capacious library of subject matter you want to cover, whether it’s comics, video-games, theatre, etc. I’d broadly consider you a nerd-culture aficionado if anything else. If you want newcomers to understand your channel a little bit more, then maybe segment your brand a little bit? Like when you do a retrospective about a game franchise, maybe dub it “Video-Game Corner” or if you’re incisively analyzing a critically-lauded, yet niche television series, refer to it as “Observing the Silver Screen.” Obviously these are just hastily put together titles but segregating different topics might make new viewers a little less disoriented when they first arrive. You have a knack for editing and sharp commentary so it’d be a shame for people to overlook that just because the channel lacked an overall focus.
Well, the like button is being weird and not recognizing my cursor, so I'll just provide other engagement. Personally, all the content you've made has, at one point or another, been well worth the time to watch and absorb. I definitely don't have expectations of What's Next, and even little (and not so little) vignettes and peeks into your life and history are engaging.
Been here since the Sly 2 Retrospective and will not be going anywhere. Love the stuff you do and I'll take a look if I could support you further thru Patreon. Let's keep the gears grinding!
I'd suggest you maybe also get a PayPal link. I think if someone is going make a one time donation they would want it to be as frictionless as possible, more options would probably benefit that. Its crazy how low the turnover rate is when you add one extra step for the user like creating an account or interfacing with a third party sites ui, and most people i know at least all have an account already.
Do you have any plans for a sly 4 video? Your sly trilogy retrospectivee vids are some of my favorite videos on the entire platform, if for no other reason than someone actually talking about those great games.
Dang, I was already very intrigued regarding this year's content, but now I'm really excited. I sincerely wish I could help you out with donations, but as I may have mentioned on B-cord before, our economy here is in a pretty dark place, especially since everyone in my field got their paycheck cut nearly in half. But if I ever have enough spare money, I'mma throw that your way. If patreon and coffee still accept our credit cards that is x))
I know that at least for me personally, take your time. I’ll always tune in to hear what you have to say. Been that way since the Bandicoot. Don’t burn out!
This is easily one of the best and most consistently high quality essay channels on UA-cam. More than happy to support you on Patreon!
Im a fan that saddly can't support you financially, I got moey problems of my own, but Im rootin for ya all the way B, take your time, get good rest, and keep making great stuff!
Your channel's really entertaining and puts a smile on my face everytime I watch man, Can't wait for the Bigger projects, and can't wait for the even smaller ones
and I especially can't wait for more "Fish Peoople" 😂🤣😂🤣
As a relatively new B-Mask fan, I’m 100% down with any new content that you make. The Fantastic Four one is my personal favorite, primarily because anyone, FF fan or not, can understand it without having to know prior knowledge about everything the team stands for. That kind of widespread appeal and enjoyment is found in all of your videos, so, by all means, take your time in making them as polished as you desire.
@DerpRaptor That is such a great point, that I’ll admit I didn’t even think about since I’ve loved FF for so long. That is one of my all time favorite videos on YT.
I hope you’re able to reach your goal to make these videos more sustainable, they’re definitely worth the wait and are incredibly rewatchable, plus I love how varied your topics are.
Would’ve never gotten into your amazing Fantastic Four video if the Scoobyverse, Better Call Saul and Spyro and Crash videos hadn’t gotten me hooked already, and still got a few I haven’t seen that I’m waiting for a good time to finally watch. Just watched the Monkey Island video (well the first one) recently and it was worth the wait, even like then when I’ve never played a single minute of a Monkey Island game it’s really entertaining and makes me want to try the first two out.
Can’t wait for the upcoming videos :)

P.S. Video aside, don't think I missed the Ratchet and Clank Planet Eudora theme in the background.
Was just about to comment this, impossible to miss this beast of a track
Absolute BOP
I hope that all of this can go well for you, I need to hear you be mad about Sly 4 someday!
I'm a bit gun shy to ask this since it feels like you've grown past the need to make it, but is Sly 4 still in the cards?
You know I'm really flattered at the idea that I'm past needing to make that video as part of my brand, it's actually very comforting to hear. That said, I still want to do it. There's a lot of other really positive things I want to accomplish first, but discussing Sly 4 in some capacity was always planned, even if I can't say when that will be yet.

It's less of a, "oh cool, he made a video about blank" and more, "oh cool, I get to learn about the intricacies that went into who knows what." A B- Mask video.

Awh damn, I was hoping that Marvel vid was coming soon
the thumbnail for the marvel retrospective teaser now looks a lot like a video on "THE BATMAN" lol
Totally an accident! But it err, well....
Okay, I figured it out, the four videos are:
-Tarantino
-House of the Dead
-Kramer
-M*A*S*H*

Glad to see I'm not the only one with confusion. Of course, compared to you I'm but a toddler, unaware of the adult responsibilities ahead!
Definitely give a try at some Twitch streams, it could be a good place for a more informal talk while playing some games that you would like to show off. Probably would take a bit to set up though.

I would suggest a "Shoot from the Hip" sort of videos, where you chase the algorithm, but don't put in the effort, if that makes sense?
At last, that Desperate Housewives video is finally on the horizon!
Mmm Ratchet and Clank music, good choice
the ratatouille videogame or the Disney videogames in general
I absolutely love your video essays on Fargo and Better Call Saul
doesn't sound like your Dungeon is dark enough bruh
Wanted to comment this earlier, but take all the time you need.
Is there any way to audition for a voice role?
Currently half way to the Patreon goal!

In terms of content you could offer on the patreon, I feel like unscripted content is the way to go (helps me put out several videos a week) and I'd love to just hear your thoughts on comic recommendations. It's a media I'm interested in and even got Mervel Unlimited for a few while some years ago, but it's just so overwhelming. Getting some solid recommendations for specific stories or some limited series would be great. Maybe do a poll here on the community tab so see what people would like to get as a reward.
No worries about having to take back for a bit, I know everyone's got to take care of themselves first and I really appreciated the support you gave in the time you did! These are also excellent ideas. A few people have mentioned unscripted content for patrons only and this has definitely got me thinking about stuff I could definitely do and be interested to do. Making a note as we speak, thanks so much!
I know I won't be the first to suggest this, and I am sure you have thought of it yourself, but how do you feel about video sponsors? Are you open to the idea of tacking on a sponsor read before or after your videos? (I assume and hope you won't do it in the middle) Would you take random athletic greens or Continental tyres money or would you be more choosy to get a sponsor that closely matches your content and personal ideals?
You know I tried to do a sponsorship once and it got really confusing. They weren't entirely legit, and a lot of the other sponsors seemed like weird bots with no actual deal on the table or things I couldn't work into my channel in any way I'd be happy with. I like the people who've made it work and it would certainly be a great way to cover my costs but, like, I really don't know what I'm doing in that department, I feel completely incompetent in that department. Maybe some day I'll figure it out.
We'll cover the psychic assistance. We don't get paid for making videos, and we certainly don't get paid for helping other tubers. We do it to show off.
We will share your appeal with the network though.
So excited for whatever you put out
I really hope its the X-Men
Been here for a while and love your channel. The quality of the videos are always excellent! And I like that you talk about whatever you have an interest in, not chasing what most recently came out. Your points are interesting and well presented and I've enjoyed videos on topics I have 0 knowledge about or wouldn't normally watch (you're THAT good in my book) Glad you're asking for some help as I'll be honest, I'm so busy with life I forget to do these sorts of things. Off to patreon I go!
"A famous directors musical movies"
..... Is it Frank Oz?
"A discussion of a popular Gaming Franchise"
Awww we gonna get into Candy Crush!
"A look at a Sitcom character"
.... George Costanza?
An Analysis of a long running tv show
.... West Wing?
Nah for real dude, I'm glad you're still making content and I'm going to check my bank account to see if I can help you out.
Also! (In Alan Partridge voice) Idea for a programme... "You Asked For It" where you have the host B-Mask answer a bunch of questions that patrons and ko-fi donators asked where it's a looser format, less having to do so much editing. They ask you questions like "Who's your favourite power ranger" or "Do you think Bill Murray should cameo in a Fantastic Four film and WHO should he play?" Or "Who's your favourite Ruttle? Is it Barry Wom?" And make it free form, informative and maybe themed?.... It must not, repeat, not turn into an all night rave
Thanks for the transparency with the update man! You do seem to have a very capacious library of subject matter you want to cover, whether it’s comics, video-games, theatre, etc. I’d broadly consider you a nerd-culture aficionado if anything else.
If you want newcomers to understand your channel a little bit more, then maybe segment your brand a little bit? Like when you do a retrospective about a game franchise, maybe dub it “Video-Game Corner” or if you’re incisively analyzing a critically-lauded, yet niche television series, refer to it as “Observing the Silver Screen.”
Obviously these are just hastily put together titles but segregating different topics might make new viewers a little less disoriented when they first arrive. You have a knack for editing and sharp commentary so it’d be a shame for people to overlook that just because the channel lacked an overall focus.
I don't really care. You will be talking about musicals, whether I like it or not. I won't like it.
Hey, as long as you're still here!
@@BMask You make more entertaining and informative videos than gushing about things that personally appeal to you. Of course I will keep watching.
Well, the like button is being weird and not recognizing my cursor, so I'll just provide other engagement.
Personally, all the content you've made has, at one point or another, been well worth the time to watch and absorb. I definitely don't have expectations of What's Next, and even little (and not so little) vignettes and peeks into your life and history are engaging.
Been here since the Sly 2 Retrospective and will not be going anywhere. Love the stuff you do and I'll take a look if I could support you further thru Patreon. Let's keep the gears grinding!
I'd suggest you maybe also get a PayPal link. I think if someone is going make a one time donation they would want it to be as frictionless as possible, more options would probably benefit that.
Its crazy how low the turnover rate is when you add one extra step for the user like creating an account or interfacing with a third party sites ui, and most people i know at least all have an account already.
Do you have any plans for a sly 4 video? Your sly trilogy retrospectivee vids are some of my favorite videos on the entire platform, if for no other reason than someone actually talking about those great games.
Oh yeah, I've been watching Alf again and I look forward to seeing you do a video on it in the future.
I just like listening to ur voice so
Also your new and random videos are fun and stuff (sorry im not like crazy wordy but yes)
Sly 4 video when
you are my favorite writer on here .cheers , bandicoot mask

Thanks!
My guy does an update video every 3 uploads fr
It really takes that looooong
Aw man I'm tempted...
I got you homie
He’s Back!!!!
Dang, I was already very intrigued regarding this year's content, but now I'm really excited. I sincerely wish I could help you out with donations, but as I may have mentioned on B-cord before, our economy here is in a pretty dark place, especially since everyone in my field got their paycheck cut nearly in half. But if I ever have enough spare money, I'mma throw that your way. If patreon and coffee still accept our credit cards that is x))
Fish people?

Look at that subtle off-white lavander colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god! It even has a watermark!
