On January 30th, the #GraphiteLockin will be all about YOU! It will be my one year anniversary on Patreon, and I want to celebrate with you. Here's what we have planned so far: This month we *WILL* get the cube map done and gone, and then we will put the Moonlight Map full time on my SuperSecretServer. Our Patron Hangouts for the months of November and December will be spent working on the map, to finish the Road of Awesome, and gear up for the PatronParty in January. During the Party, we'll work on building a Patron City at the end of the Road of Awesome, and all patrons will be welcome to build in stream! By the end of stream, we'll offer the map as a download for all the world to enjoy our work. I'll have a sign-up sheet for those who plan to be there, and we'll probably vote on a few steam games to interrupt the building tedium. There will also be game & swag giveaways all night long, I already have enough games in stock to have 1 game every hour, and there are whispers of other things... shhh.. I'm stoked, you guys. So stoked. If you have any ideas, PLEASE share. Let's make this a party to remember!

Send a #Huganartist to https://twitter.com/VANsDesign_ , I've sent the share the love donation. <3

I can't get over how supportive y'all are. This thing that I do, this "content producing" hobby of mine is one of the most important things in my life right now, it is my thing for me, where I get to relax and recharge and be creative... and you help me make it happen every month. This means more than words to me. I'm on an Artists kick for the Share the Love donation, and this month we'll be hugging Van, the guy who made my killer intro. He seriously undercharged me (IMO) for the classy work he did, and deserves recognition for his skill. When the monies clear my paypal, I'll send a little his way and let you know. Many of you have said you don't mind how I spend the monies I receive, but I feel an upfront policy can be healthy and helpful here. My internet bill went up slightly so that I could have the freedom to change my ip when ddos'd, $130 of what I receive now goes to that. I am watching for a data-cap & contract free alternative, so far nothing. Fingers crossed for fiber! ;) $20-30 each month goes to the community via ShareTheLove. Every month a few payments don't get processed, on average about $12' worth, also subtract approximately 9% for all the fees. I am now setting aside a portion of the remainder for minecon/playoncon/other youtube related meetups. And if I have any left over, I'd like to use it for a once-a-week yoga class. I need a group for exercising, and none of the other options even remotely appeal to me. I just took my first class today, and I'm sold. This is a thing that I need, to help me find center and focus and energy. The impact on my youtube life may be indirect, but I am not sure I'll be able to youtube if my seasonal depression gets out of hand again; this is a measured preventive step. Phew, feels good to get all that out there, if there's no new business, I'd say this meeting is adjourned. <3 hugs and chocolate, and fist bumps for those who don't like either.

The next console reviewed will be the Sega Master system. Launched in the 80's it went head to head with Nintendo's Nes/Famicom. The console itself sold roughly 10 -13 millions units during its lifespan, not including the sales from Brazil from most recently as 2012. The System saw the likes of Sonic, Mortal Kombat and Alex Kidd.
