Post TUF debriefing
🕑 Added 2023-10-08 22:04:52 +0000 UTCGood evening Just Bleed crew!!
So TUF is done and I can properly take a minute to try and write an actual update where I don't have hyper ADHD brain trying to focus on 10 things at once.
It's a relief to have the video finally done, It was a lot of fun to make, but given the massive amount of stuff to cover, it was stressful too as I was constantly worried about missing stuff or if i should really be covering all of the series instead of just the ones I find interesting, but it's done now, and to quote Max Holloway, it is what it is.
We broke records with the live premiere, with an insane 2.4K viewers at once! I still remember when the McGregor video premiered, and it had 300 live viewers, I genuinely never thought I'd break that record! So 2.4K is absolutely fucking wild. Thanks to all of you who turned up for it despite already watching it on here!
Should anyone really want them, I'll be uploading the AI art that was used in the video here. I wasn't really sure about whether or not i should use AI art as the ethics are a bit iffy, but in the end it was simply a cost/time thing, in that the sheer amount of time and money it would've taken to get an artist to make so many stupid fucking pictures of Tito would've cost me more than I can afford, and delayed the video even longer.
Anyway, should you want them, here's a rar file of everything used in the video:

I think next I'll be putting together a full supercut of all 3 TUF episodes, and to balance things out, I'll be looking for a real artist to make comic style panels for the Leben/Southworth/Koscheck debacle in TUF 1. That whole segment got the first video hit with an adults only rating, so the best way around it is to get creative and just try and animate the whole thing. If any of you are artists, please, hit me up! Send me on a sample of your work! Obviously, any work will be paid work, not "paid in exposure". I'd love to repay you guys by picking an artist from your ranks rather than just hire a rando on Fiverr.
Also, there are a bunch of you I need to DM here as we were chatting and then the video really went into crunch mode and i couldn't keep up with it. So i apologize for that!
So speaking of what's next, what's next is a break! Myself and Mrs B have like 4 days holidays booked on the 19th of October, so it's down time for a while, then holiday. I'm not sure if there will be another video of this scale between now and Christmas to be brutally honest. It's not burn out or anything, it's more that I just really want to do an end of Year Christmas wrap up video. Even though they traditionally do fairly low numbers, they're just fun videos to make! And in order to do it properly, it will easily take around 5 weeks of work. So it wouldn't really be possible to do a "real" video and an End of Year video without completely burning myself out.
Aside from that, I have another cameo coming up in Mixed Martial Academics next video (at least i think its his next video..), and outside of videos, I have a partnership with the martial arts company Xmartial in the works, who are going to be producing a line of Blownapart clothing for training! Shorts, spats, rashguards etc. So you too can wear the logo of a guy who totally sucks ass at jiu jitsu while you train!
I'm also looking around for artists again to work on some new ideas for tshirts and stuff too. Again if any of you are artists/designers, hit me up!
Aside from that, its time to catch up on Baldurs Gate 3 which i didn't really get to play much of, and that new Cyberpunk expansion which is shockingly fucking great so far. I kinda need to take a month or so and pretty much do nothing but consume music, movies, books, games, watch all the fights i missed, etc etc as that's where the majority of my ideas comes from!
Oh and stream of consciousness thought but there was discussion over on the discord about having a just bleed gaming night some time. Maybe we all get together and play Tekken or Twisted metal or something. So keep an eye out for that!
I actually paid cold hard cash to watch Rizin Landmark 6 last week, which makes it the second PPV ive bought in my life haha. The first Being Rizin's NYE card last year. Landmark 6 was pretty damn entertaining for the most part, 6 hours of MMA for $12! There was even a freakshow fight! Though realistically I'm just trying to desperately recapture the feel of PRIDE. I may have a JMMA addiction problem.
Fuck, anyway, that's about it for now. Thank you again, all of you, whether you only just signed up or whether you've been here for a while, thank you for sticking with me through this one. I know it was longer than usual in the making, but I hope the end product was worth it.
Just bleed,
Nap

That would be my ranking for their albums too, but I’d probably throw incesticide in there myself. In utero>Incesticide>bleach>nevermind

That Nevermind / In Utero analogy is so fucking spot on lol. (I've ALWAYS been an In Utero fan. In Utero > Bleach > Nevermind.
