07/10/23 - Coming Soon, Polybius 2041!
Hey! How are you? It's been a hot minute since I've done a blog post. Mostly because a LOT has changed in my life. I got a new job in the last year and just this past April, I moved after being in the same place for 14 years. It's a BIG change! But, the great news is, now that I've made those changes, I have more time to devote to this fantastic hobby, creating weird and awesome content for you! If you have been around, you were able to see the first two parts of an Audio Drama trilogy, Polybius 2021 and Polybius 1981. I absolutely had a blast putting those together, and I'm sorry I didn't advertise them that much. But, the good news is, the third part of the trilogy, Polybius 2041 is premiering Sunday, August 13th and I'll be playing the first two parts before the main event. So, you can see the whole trilogy in one night on Twitch! Additionally, I had so much fun putting these together, I decided that after the premiere, I'm making the entire trilogy free to watch on my YouTube page! So, even if you can't make it to premiere night, you'll be able to watch it on your own time. The first trailer will be coming out soon. Stay tuned!
03/13/23 - NEW YEAR, NEW EBC PART II
So, I presented a lot of the new changes to the EBC channel on our "Grand Re-Opening" Stream on March 5th. The majority of those changes included the viewer experience on stream during lives shows on Twitch. But other things were mentioned as well, including the new VOD Archive on Youtube. If your interest is to check out our past shows, the playlists on Youtube making finding what you're looking for easy. There are still more changes coming as I revamp some of the look and feel of the shows and vary what types of shows I'm doing. But, for now, I have to put all that on hold and focus on two things: one, I personally am moving in the next month and, two, our upcoming Audio Drama, Polybius 2021 that airs on Sunday, April 2nd. If you're a fan of gaming (especially arcade gaming), you'll really enjoy this story. Check out the Schedule for the latest trailer and information. And thank you for your continued support. The best is yet too come!
02/19/23 - NEW YEAR, NEW EBC
Howdy folks! It's 2023 and after a longer break, I'm getting back to regular updates and finally able to focus more on content production. Big changes are underway and I want to invite everyone to stop by the channel for our "Grand Re-Opening" on Sunday, March 5th. It's still the same old cantankerous EBC channel you've come to know and hate, but I'm updating a lot of things, including migrating the whole EBC archive over to youtube where the majority of it will be freely available to the public! Plus, I'll be doing my first ever speed run attempt on Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and submitting it to speedrun.com. Hope to see you there and we'll have a lot of fun!
12/25/22 - HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND BRIEF UPDATE
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! May this Holiday season and 2023 bring you all that you need. I've been trying to catch up, dealing with a new job and still putting out new content. I hope to completely catch up with a new archive loaded into YouTube and a bunch of awesome content for you by the end of January or middle of February. In the meantime, mark two dates on your calendar ... Sunday, February 5th for EBC's Winnie The Pooh, Part 2 and Sunday, April 2nd for our next audio drama, Polybius 2021. Times should be correct on the Schedule at least 2 weeks out from each show. Thank you for your continued support!
09/26/22 - REALMS UNKNOWN: MANIKIN
EBC's 7th Audio Drama, and the second installment in the Realms Unknown series, has been announced. Manikin will star the fantastic voice talents of WitchWhitney and SleightofGame! Mark it on your calendar ... Sunday, October 30th, 8 pm ET @ twitch.tv/ebc2021
09/26/22 - ARCHIVE UPDATE
If you've been checking in with this blog for EBC updates, you might have noticed that there's a big gap between my last update and today. Part of that is because the Video hosting service I've been using, Vidyard, has put new restrictions on the size and number of videos I can have there. So, I have to migrate my whole archive to YouTube. This includes the newest Audio Drama, Calm Violence. I will be doing a major update in mid-November with all of the archive updated with YouTube hosting and new Patreon-member-only pages here on the website. So, look for everything to be caught up then. In the meantime, I'll be uploading the videos one by one (there's about 100 of them LOL) to the new host before we do anything else. Thank you for your patience.

01/05/22 - HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year y'all. 2022 is upon us and within a month, EBC will be on full steam ahead. Just about everything is in place after months of hard work to create the infrastructure behind regular content production. Two notes moving forward ... First, the web store will be phased out at the end of the month. For the last 3 months, over two major productions, we had the web store for immediate purchase of the audio dramas after the Premiere of each. But starting with our next production, The Threat Of They, you can receive your own digital copy by subscribing to the Patreon within 48 hours of the Premiere, and that's in addition to everything else you receive as an EBC Patron. Second, I can't thank enough the kind and generous people that have made these productions possible and I highly encourage you to check them out and support them as well, even if it's just a follow. That's Iznib, WitchWhitney, Ingle_Duem, LegionKaje, ShortnSweet, Millegeo, Mad_Tinkerer, and StarRoadGameCafe. THANK YOU! And we hope to see you at the Premiere of The Threat Of They on February 6, 2022, starring Mad_Tinkerer, Ingle_Duem and myself.
12/27/21 - OUR FIRST NAMING RIGHTS SPONSOR
For those souls that wish to support the EBC Theater, our Tier 3 (Orchestra) Patreons receive naming rights for a minimum of a month to our Virtual Theater. Our first sponsor is WitchWhitney and she has decided to name it the WitchWhitney Wounded Warrior Project Theater in support of United States veterans that suffered injuries during their tours of service. Check out The Wounded Warrior Project here and thank you Whitney!
12/24/21 - EBC'S NEXT MAJOR AUDIO DRAMA PRODUCTION
If you didn't catch the news at the premiere of Christmas Insanity, our next major audio drama production is already in the works with a tentative premiere date of February 6, 2022. Watch for more details on The Threat Of They, starring Mad_Tinkerer, Ingle_Duem and Mr. EBC himself, Scotty!
12/24/21 - FIRST TIER 2 (THE BALCONY) POST ON PATREON
Uploaded the Streamer Ads created specifically for the audio drama premieres, Trailers for The Devil's Gift, The EBC Halloween Special and Christmas Insanity, and a stand-alone version of The Devil's Gift (not the full VoD available on The Archive). Check out the EBC Patreon here.
12/22/21 - WEBSITE DESIGN & FUTURE UPDATES
Changed the Co-Creators page to the Connections page and added links to Twitch and Peak Performance, our Community Leaderboard site. We also have two permanent Discord invites that will be posted soon on the Connections page. Also combined the Patreon page and the Webstore page into one on the Support page. Coming soon, our first Patreon post for Tier 2 (The Balcony) will include Streamer Ads for WitchWhitney, Iznib, Ingle_Duem, Millegeo and LegionKaje & ShortnSweet plus some of the Intros and Trailers I've created over the past 6 months. That update is expected Friday, 12/24.
