Hi All,
Mabeanie here again to tell you how I feel about tags and why they disappeared from videos I uploaded, and then again why they're back.
I originally tagged videos because I believed that it contributed in videos getting more views, however I started to notice that some videos that Frank made for AIM were getting more views despite not having tags, and in some instances they didn't even have a description. So I stopped because I didn't think it mattered anymore.
Now I tag videos because it will help people, who are interested, find videos related to their topic of interest. If you type in 'sex' into the search bar on our channel (not the YouTube search bar) you will find a bunch of Poke'mon Colosseum episodes because apparently we talk about sex a lot. We're probably compensating for something. Apparently if you type in 'butt' you still get a lot of Poke'mon episodes. If you type in 'women' there's a bit more variety in that there is a lot of Sonic Adventure DX episodes. I don't know why. Try typing up random things and see what comes up.
Okay done.
Bye All!
Stephanie. Akirasora. Ihasnotomato. Mabeanie.

Correction Update

Saturdays will continue to be Civ 5 until further notice
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will be Tf2 > Overwatch (PC gaming series)
Tuesdays and Thursdays will be Banjo-Kazooie > Pokemon Colosseum (Console gaming series)
Saturdays will continue to be Civ 5 until further notice
The Reform will happen
Hi All,
On Saturday Liam and I went to Avcon in Adelaide and on the bus ride there we decided to make the AIM channel more IM-centred because Frank is unlikely to be available for recording within the rest of the year and the foreseeable future. Frank described his life as being no different to when he first settled down in America. So AIM will get a big reform regarding the schedule.
Currently the schedule is like this:
After the reform we will see:
Banjo-Kazooie Catch up > Overwatch (drunk with Ben). Begins either Thursday 21st of July after Banjo ends or Tuesday 26th so a full week of it is uploaded.*
TF2 > more TF2 > Poke'mon Colosseum > Worms Inbetweenie > Next CGS game.** On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Civ 5 > More Civ 5.*** On Saturdays.
Liam spoke about doing a 'PC gaming series' after the next Console Gaming Series is done (it will be relatively brief anyway) so we'll see what happens. We didn't really discuss that far ahead because obviously we've got the next two months recorded just about.
Liam also spoke about changing the imagery of AIM, such as the much-needed outro card for IM Industries.
Basically the reform will put Frank in the background. Officially he is in the foreground with Liam and I, but in reality he is in the background and is only relevant when we talk about him rather than with him. We last spoke to him verbally in February when we recorded Hotline Miami. Frank had called Ben on Skype and so we ended up talking to him until we thought we could ring him back on my Skype. It didn't work.
So that's everything that I have to say so far. Maybe I'll do an animation soon, but it really depends on whether I can be bothered or not. I have to find a clip that makes me really want to do it.
Bye All!
*Personally I believe that Overwatch should go up as soon as possible, however Liam is very busy with Ihasnochille, Uni and basically 4 out of the 6 videos that go up on AIM right now. He's coming over today, so I'll get him to give me the Overwatch stuff to edit.
**The next Console Gaming Series will be kept secret until the first episode goes up.
***Civ 5 will continue until the end of the game, which will end either by our world domination victory or the beginning of the year 2050; whatever comes first. We haven't disabled any other victory conditions, it's just that domination seems more likely.

Panic Defense
Hi All,
Yesterday I tweeted this:
The trailer needs to change and we've been a bit lax when it has come to making the new one because we want to do one that is different to the ones we've done before. The trailer is more than 50% outdated, with Synergy, Left 4 Dead 2 and overall Akirasora being out of the picture from more than 9 months. Portal 2, Metroid 2 and Quasar in general haven't been uploaded for roughly the same amount of time. IM Industries is pretty much the only thing that is relatively accurately described in the current trailer, although I did have the thought that we don't do many PC game one-offs. This is probably true because TF2 was a recording session I was thinking about turning into a montage video, but obviously I decided against it. Lastly the schedule is out of date. At AIM Industries we tend to change things quite often and the schedule in particular isn't updated as often as it should be. In fact, there is a blog page linked to from the channel that needs updating. Overall, we need a new trailer.
The other point that I wanted to make is that Akirasora hasn't been in a video in more than 9 months, however we did speak to him in February when we recorded Hotline Miami. His lack of a presence got me thinking that maybe we should kick him out of the group, however I tried to emphasise that we just need to get Frank's view of events. I emailed him yesterday and he has since replied, explaining that he has a limited internet connection and so can't record videos with us and that his headset doesn't work anymore so he can't talk to us. He seemed very confused about my sudden burst of panic (or whatever you want to call it) and from the sound of things nothing has changed for him in 4 months. I replied immediately (after calming myself down from the sudden realisation that he is a person with feelings who may as well have been living under a rock since we last spoke to him), and said that IM will have to take a much larger role in the operation of the channel as we've been running under the assumption that at any moment Frank could become available for recording. From the sound of his email, this isn't going to happen for quite a while. I also said that we should definitely keep communications going between us.
Liam will be coming over to my house this coming weekend and we will work on the trailer for AIM Industries. I expect that we will also iron out any misconceptions about the current situation.
Lastly, I find it important to work out what triggered my burst of panic. We have gained subscribers since the launch of the TF2 series, with 2 subscribers being gained in the last 30 days and 1 in the 30 -day period before that. One of the new subscribers, our most recent actually, commented that he likes our TF2 stuff and so he subscribed. This got me thinking that IM Industries, as a section of AIM, has gained support rather than AIM as a whole. The subscriber gain, the comment (I guess) and the need for a new trailer probably triggered the burst of panic inside me, and so in my head I declared a state of emergency. Right now, I believe the state of emergency is over, but AIM will have to change. I still feel a bit uneasy over this situation.
Thanks for reading,
Bye All!
Yesterday I tweeted this:
Basically I've been bored at home. I have tons of editing to do, but it's a matter of being bothered to do it. Yesterday, I don't know what triggered it (but I'll touch on that later in the post), I had a spike of thoughts that AIM needs to change, for better or worse.I just sent a very sincere email to @Akirasora34. I feel like thins are getting bad as it's been 8 months since we've contacted him.— Mabeanie Beanie (@MrMabeanie) July 12, 2016

"Holidays"
Hi All,
While I'm waiting for the Top 10 Videos and Video Of The Month of May, I realised that I haven't properly filled everyone in on what's been happening with AIM lately.
Firstly the TF2 series has gone well so far, and we've even recorded more, and the thumbnails just seem to get better every time. Definitely a good change in pace, making every video special.
Secondly there was a week of no videos being a thing, because Ihasnotomato was on holiday to Darwin for a bit (I'll embed his tweets), and now that Liam's back from holidays he has Uni stuff to work on and so he's got less time to upload videos. Our holiday times are out of sync; so when mine begin, his end. There is more Civ 5 and Banjo-Kazooie that has not been uploaded yet, but we'll have to rearrange the schedule once Banjo-Kazooie is over and we'll definitely continue the Civ 5 game.

So just letting you know I've gone to Darwin for a week so I'm afraid there will be no uploads this week— Ihasnotomato (@Ihasnotomato) June 11, 2016
Lastly, we have not been able to record more Poke'mon lately because I've been involved in my house's renovations and so there's no full day to set aside. We might be able to arrange recording sessions for a few hours a day, but the problem is that I'm not in charge of the renovations and so I can't predict or arrange for the renovations to not take place. I can merely seize opportunities as they present themselves. Meanwhile, anything online multiplayer will be a better choice, so maybe more TF2 or Gmod or something.Toot toot motherfuckers I'm on a train— Ihasnotomato (@Ihasnotomato) June 15, 2016
Sorry about there being no @aimindustries videos in the last few days. @ihasnotomato is back and we're hoping to record some more tf2 soon.— Mabeanie Beanie (@MrMabeanie) June 25, 2016
So for me they're not really holidays at all.More TF2 on its way next week! Pretty revolutionary actually.— A.I.M. Industries (@AIMindustries) June 25, 2016

Holy Show: New Stuff
Not a fan of swearing.
Hi All,
There will be a new show on AIM next week featuring Ihasnotomato and I playing Team Fortress 2. The thumbnails will be amazing:
Oops, I need to fix the second one. They look freaking awesome and are colour contrasted, just to prove that doing Art wasn't a total waste of time in High School.
That's pretty much it.
Bye All!

Just a little update
Hi All,
It's been a while and a few things have happened so I thought I should do an update to let you all know what exactly is going on.
I went to a party with Liam on the weekend just gone and he acknowledged that he missed a day of uploading Civ 5. He did upload that weekend's episode though, but I wonder if he plans to upload the one he missed. In the video manager it shows that he attempted to upload two episodes; episode 13 and 14 of Civ 5. I don't know what went wrong, but obviously 14 failed and so he had to upload it again.
We've both been very busy with University, as its the end of the semester and so stuff's getting tense with major assessments and tests. Nevertheless we are both approaching the last assessments we have to do and from what I heard from Liam coupled with my own study situation, we should be able to do another recording session either late next week or the week after, depending on when my only exam is.
I did get worried that we weren't getting any views on Poke'mon Colosseum and so I thought that we should try to draw more attention to the series. It took a few days for all the episodes that didn't have any views to increase to 1 view, so I'm satisfied.
I don't know how many episodes of Banjo-Kazooie are left, but the number of episodes we have left of any series are one of the key factors in determining what we record as well as where.
That's everything. I did tweet about a few episodes that we've uploaded which I thought were pretty good, so I'll embed them in this post.

New stuff
Hi All,
Yesterday I went to Ihasnotomato's house where we recorded some Banjo-Kazooie for AIM as well as Cooking with Kylo Ren; the first skit for STAIM WAIM.
While I was there I made him make the new AM logo and now I have just applied it to the blog background.
It feels like there's a lot to talk about, but there isn't. STAIM WAIM skits will come out when we think of new ideas. Banjo-Kazooie will be uploaded in addition to Poke'mon Colosseum and Civ 5. We have no plans to record more Banjo-Kazooie as we only played it because Ihasnotomato needed to get back up to where he was at in his Let's Play, but he didn't really feel like doing so.
Bye All!
PS: Liam's thinking about making a new AIM logo.

Ihasnotomato editing Civ 5
Hi All!
It has certainly appeared that I edit and upload pretty much all of the AIM stuff at the moment because it's all recorded at my house. This changed on the day we last recorded Poke'mon and Civilization 5 when Ihasnotomato offered to edit Civ 5, which will be an interesting thing to see happen. He has a different editing style to me and at the same time the recording session was very different to the last one, so I certainly look forward to seeing his episodes.
Thanks and Bye!
