Name Update, RIP Shenanigans, & More!

---------Shenanigans. People seem to either like them or hate them. While they're fun to make, I hate feeling like I'm disappointing half or so of subscribers with each upload of those. Therefore, there are currently no plans to continue with them (however, HOWEVER, I won't rule out a yearly Shenanigan).
---------Channel Rename.
This was always in the back of my mind ever since I realized the Arkham "Rocksteady Studios" were a thing, a year or two after I made the channel in 2011. What I didn't expect was that ANOTHER channel would popup later on and overtake me. I check Search results every-so-often to monitor discoverability, etc., and only recently did I spot the Russian channel of the same name. Not only are they the first result, but you have to go down five entries until you get to this channel. A little problem :)
So, the plan is to finally bite the bullet at some point in 2018. The idea is to incorporate my PC usernames as well (as you may have noticed in 1 or 2 vids, they're under another "R"). Just as a heads-up!
---------Upcoming videos and scheduling
The upcoming No Man's Sky/Elite: Dangerous video also made me lean towards a change, mainly due to time. All videos on this channel aren't monetized, therefore I have work responsibilities as well as college. At first, I thought this wouldn't be an issue, as cinematics like Minimal Beat and Wipeout have been produced in 2 weeks (current schedule). Buuuut, the catch is that the actual FOOTAGE took far longer (couple months for Beat, 1 month exactly for Wipeout).
I didn't start to feel the effects of that until I started making this video (up next week). There were goals I had in mind, full-length features, a new end-screen, etc. But then finals were like "Hey :D" and work is like "I'm waiting for you," & suddenly I had a crisis on my hands, not to mention that I STILL don't have a freighter...
The point I mean to make is that I want to expand the schedule to allow for increment development of videos (like Stargate: Legends, a year-worth of off-&-on work). With the naming problem coming up, I figured that this would be the time to do it.
I THINK that's everything... Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

Alright, I have a suggestion. If you want to earn money from the videos you make, you might want to consider creating a Patreon page. And since you're VERY close to 1k subscribers, you may also do a special video like a giveaway, face reveal, extra awesome video, or any other trending stuff out there. If you want to change your channel name, make sure that it is something original, unique, and it should come from your soul. You can try gibberish words as well. And as for the length or speed of upload of the videos, it doesn't really concern me that much. Just keep up the good work and this channel will explode. And lastly, what was the game playing in the background? Thank you.
