The gang watches a short to learn about laws and mores of society and how they can impact their everyday lives. Of course no one pays attention and they proceed mock, insult, and berate each other in a game of UNO!

This is the one for which Facebook closed our account!! WARNING: Apparently, it's bad for society.

The streaming software used by the gang has an easy to use, straightforward design. A pot smoking monkey can use it. Albeit, it would have to be a well trained monkey with a more than average IQ and its trainer would need saintly patience. Let's just say it is simple.

A year ago Steve dived into the software full on and learned it. Completely. Since, the system has been tweaked, test, relaunched, and tweaked some more. It had been converted a bit for the T-Day Marathon and had a total overhaul during the end of year holidays. For all of season one, all of previous versions had been saved and a new one created. Or so he thought.

Last night, Steve discovered he'd been doing it wrong. Sometime during the year Steve had mentally transposed two settings and their uses.

TLDR: Steve is Dumber Than a [Well Trained] Pot Smoking Monkey

It seems there are two important factors within the software that the user can save different variations; the profile and the scenes. At the beginning, Steve knew full well that the profile has the account information (e.g., Twitch Login) and the Scene Collections has all the different scenes the viewer sees. The latter being the most complex and the more time consuming to set up. It took over five weeks- evenings and weekends- just to get the scenes made! 

During all of the tweaks, it seems Steve had failed to remember this simple difference. Whenever he made a change to the scenes he saved the profile, made a new one, and then made the changes scenes. Knowing (wrongly) that he could always revert to the previous profile. Fortunately, the back ups were never needed. The changes that were made "worked".

For season two the gang is planning some big changes. Therefore, Steve saved the Profile and made a new one. Then proceeded to delete EVERYTHING and start a new Scene Collection. There was plenty of time do so. The new setup only needed a few scenes. With twenty-four hours until live streaming the new scenes would only take a couple of hours- at most. It only took sixty seconds to delete a year's worth of work. 

Suddenly, Steve's knowledge of the software properly reset and he checked the old version to be safe. He discovered one Scene Collection and nearly a dozen exact duplicates of Profile settings. 

Everything Groovy is Better!

Several hours and some tears later, with the inestimable help from Smappie, Steve managed to do two month's work in a few hours. The result may not be apparent to the viewer, but the setup is a lot cleaner and refined. The operation of the streaming software is more logical and should be more streamlined. This is a good change despite the utter failure that prompted it. The adding of new content should be a lot simpler. With little dedication and a lot of luck, the Groovy Gang's content will be much better. 

Somehow an alien member of the Lollipop Guild bestowed useless powers and a fancy outfit to a crosswalk attendant from the west side. With these "powers" she can magically appear in strangers houses to lecture them about safety.

Then we play some SORRY!

This weekend we are doing a trial run of some new content.

Saturday, March 19th at 6:00 pm CST we will be streaming and riffing a short as usual, but afterward (providing there are no catastrophic failures) we will be debuting one of the new projects we are rolling out.

The next evening, we will be testing another project. We may stream periodically. If you'd like to watch the mayhem be on the lookout for any notifications from Twitch if you have subscribed. If you haven't why not? Go to our Twitch Channel and click FOLLOW.

Even after nearly a year and 68 episodes we are still finding our groove. We still enjoy watching moovies together but we crave more. The first of May will mark the end of our year of streaming so the gang will be trying out other content by may of 2022. Specifically, we'll be doing some gaming as well. We'll even try it out on Sunday evenings.

Stay tooned and check our Facebook page for more up to date updates.

Bad touch! 

It turns out Fireball XL5 is copyrighted! Whenever the episodes were posted on our YouTube channel there is a notification that the any monetization goes to "another party". Big deal we aren't monetized yet anyway. However, if we do a live stream of the show YouTube has no way to distribute any funds to the rightful owners. Doing so, got us a verbal spanking from YouTube. If we do it again we get a ban. Suffice to say we wont be streaming to YouTube unless the programming is 100% in the Public Domain. 

The gang riffs The Soap Box Derby and a creepy dude.

Parents, get your kid a bicycle!
