Hi All!
We at SAIM Industries are determined to make the next six months of social isolation due to the current pandemic a positive time.
First of all, because Ihasnotomato and I (Mabeanie) record Hollow Knight and Twilight Princess together in person, we will put both series on haitus until the pandemic ceases. This will start once we run out of episodes from the last recording session. We are taking this very seriously.
Secondly, Akirasora will hopefully join me in doing an A.M. Industries series of Civilization 5.
Ihasnotomato will get to do whatever PC series he wants with either the three of us or himself and either myself or Frank (Akirasora). We will be doing mix and matching of different combinations of game and hosts to turn this period of social isolation a positive period for SAIM Industries. Bringing Frank back into the mix will be a hugely positive thing for us, as we started the group with him.
We will post further updates if our plans change. Frank is in the United States of America and is in social isolation, like we are strongly encouraged to do in Australia.
Let's make 2020 what it was supposed to be!!!
See Ya!
Stephanie. Akirasora. Ihasnotomato. Mabeanie.

Bye-bye Borderlands for now
Hi All,
Yesterday we had another recording session. It was for the Hollow Knight SAIMstralia Day Special, but Ihasnotomato had a new idea. Not only would we be recording the special, but it would also serve as the hour-long first episode of a new series replacing the Borderlands games. He's tired of playing Borderlands and wants to do something else for a while.
Beginning this week, we will be running Twilight Princess and Hollow Knight as our two series. This also ends our PC Gaming Series because Hollow Knight is being played on the Nintendo Switch and so both of our series are now console games. This might make things a bit messy when we eventually finish Twilight Princess or Hollow Knight, because either game could have whatever we feel like as the successor game. We will deal with this when we come to it.
Anyway, I am happy with the quality of all upcoming Twilight Princess and Hollow Knight episodes. We talk about some interesting stuff and the gameplay is quite good as well.

Sixth Annual SAIMstralia Day Special will happen
Hi All,
Just a quick post to let you know that we will be returning to Borderlands 2 in place of 3 starting next week. We will also post our sixth consecutive annual SAIMstralia Day Special in which we will play Hollow Knight, which was made where we live in Adelaide, South Australia!
Usually it's not easy to find an Australian-made game to play for the special, but we have a few choices this year and we've organised a day, which just happens to be Australia Day itself.
So look forward to that.

Been busy, y'know
Hi All!
We at SAIM Industries hope you're having a good time. Obviously we haven't posted any videos so far this year, but that's because we're real-life human beings who have stuff going on. I (Mabeanie) have been doing the working a proper job thing while Ihasnotomato has been reorganising his life into a format that he's happy with. Further detail on the latter is found in a blog post on Tomato's Patreon if you have a dollar to spare. Otherwise you can wait for the Twilight Princess episode in which we talk about our resolutions for 2020.
This brings me to the next point. We did have a recording session in which we recorded some more Twilight Princess. Tomato also told me that there is more Borderlands 3, but he's been reorganising his life like I said, so bear with us while we get ourselves sorted for the long year ahead.
Stephanie's on holiday at the moment, timing it perfectly alongside our real life dilemmas. Some time in the next few weeks, we'll get back into regular uploads. Hopefully we'll find a game to do for Australia Day and also set aside time for recording it. This would be our sixth consecutive annual SAIMstralia Day Special.
Meanwhile, SAIM's step-sister Pickle-Shaped Peanuts is uploading videos every Saturday and it features Mickell Pickell and Angrove playing V8 Supercars 3. Their dynamic is awesome and hilarious. I orchestrated the whole thing.
If you don't care for off-brand SAIM Industries, I have been posting content on my Mabeanie Talks channel every Wednesday in a series with Ihasnotomato called Mab and Tom, in which we talk about stuff. No limits really. We talk about me and my YouTube work, but also about anything else. When I don't have a Friday afternoon shift and the house isn't too noisy, I record myself yelling at video games and being philosophical in my long-running show Friday Night Fun on Mabeanie Games. The video quality is intentionally bad because I don't want to wait 5 hours for a HD render of me sucking at video games for 50 minutes.
Anyway, check those out and if not we'll see you in the comments of Borderlands 3/Twilight Princess soon enough!

2019 was a good year for SAIM
Mabeanie here a with a big load of numbers for you.
2019 was indeed a good year. We gained 44 subscribers, currently sitting at 277. We got 3035 views and 241 likes, which puts 2019 into the all-time top three years for SAIM. Keep in mind that we've been operating this channel since 2012. 3035 views is third best behind 2015 with roughly 3900 and 2018 with 3500.
From the picture that I've put up the top there, we've been steadily improving from a shocking 2016. We actually did a review video for that year. Here it is:
Also I don't know if YouTube is broken, and it almost certainly is, but the demographics find us at 100% female audience. So that's almost certainly wrong. We had 0% in 2018 and 6% in 2017.
We posted roughly the same amount of videos as last year with 174. It's been a pretty chill year in terms of content, with Mario Sunshine, Metroid Fusion, Mario Odyssey, and Twilight Princess being the console games, and then Borderlands 2 and 3 as the PC games. We also did a one-off Minecraft video and two rounds of Worms Inbetweenie.
Who knows how 2020 is going to go. We plan on continuing Borderlands 2 and 3 and also Twilight Princess. We have ideas on what we want to do after Twilight Princess, but there's heaps of Borderlands to go through and so we're not too fussed. We usually get it sorted out near the end of the series. We'll also probably do a SAIMstralia Day video, but we haven't discussed it yet. It's been difficult the last few years, but we haven't been looking super hard.
Overall, 2019 was our second best year of all time, second to 2015 which isn't too far ahead of where we've been in the last year. It's hard to predict the future, so we can only go with our plans and hope that things work out. Optimistically, I think that 2020 could beat 2015 and become our best year. On the other hand, we did have the 2016 experience but it's hard to be sure of what contributed to the results that year.
Anyway, enjoy those numbers.
Bye All!

Schedule changes for Twilight Princess
Hi All,
The first episode of Twilight Princess will drop on Wednesday, and so episodes will go up on that day as well as Saturday every week. Because of this, we've also swapped the first two days of the week so that Mario Odyssey is the first series, then Borderlands 3 the second, and Twilight Princess the third. Then we do that again for six days per week of content, with each series getting two episodes per week.
We didn't want to change the schedule too much, but also didn't want to put any current series on a haitus to accommodate for TP. When I think about it, Borderlands 2 is on a haitus just because we have more episodes of Borderlands 3 to post. When that runs out, we're gonna get back to Borderlands 2 so that the story happens chronologically for me. But also we'll get more Erren so that will be nice.
Some of you might be wondering if we're concerned about the Federal Trade Commission of the United States and the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act in regards to pressing issues with YouTube and the settlement that they've agreed to. We are, but we're not doing anything too big until we're sure of whether we should make any changes.
But anyway, Twilight Princess was a good lot of fun and it will be a great series. Look forward to that!

Twilight Princess is getting closer
Hi All,
Ihasnotomato and I (Mabeanie) recorded a conversation for an upcoming series on one of my channels last night, but we also organised the day that we will record The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD for the Wii U released in 2016.
This has been five years in the making as first of all we had to recover from the loss of what we thought was a great recording session in late 2014. For those who don't know, we originally recorded Twilight Princess for the Gamecube, but our audio recording for our voices failed and so we lost that crucial bit that makes our videos our own. We were very upset, but we wanted to eventually come back to it. I think that we will discuss the original recording session at the start of this Twilight Princess HD one. Then we can move on, talk about the game, and have a good time. Both of us are quite fond of the game.
Anyway, that's your update. As usual, we will continue to post Borderlands 3 and Mario Odyssey three times a week, but when Twilight Princess starts you can be sure that it will be in there.

Back On The Road
Hi All,
After the rough year that 2019 has been for us, but certainly not the toughest year, we are now in a position to be posting lots of great videos on a regular basis.
My computer issues are over, but my days of spare time are irregular. Nevertheless, we have Stephanie to do the editing and all we have to do is record Mario Odyssey.
So look forward to some more Mario Odyssey content by the end of next week, and we'll be pumping out heaps of stuff. We'll also be recording The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess later this month as planned. The year has just flown by.
Anyway, that's everything.

We can do Borderlands 3, but.
Hi All,
Today Ihasnotomato text messaged me to organise our Borderlands 3 series, which has snuck up on me a bit. I won't be able to play the game on my own computer, so we'll be doing a single-player campaign on Tomato's computer at least. We may also have Erren involved, as he has expressed interest. If anything, at varying times we will have Tomato's character and then myself and/or Erren.
We haven't discussed when exactly we will be releasing episodes of our series, but we will be recording on the 14th of September (day after release). I think that Tomato would push himself to post the episodes as soon as he can, and possibly prioritise it over his own projects. He will also likely post a quick video on his main channel to get people to come and watch our series.
Nothing else has progressed much. My computer is still taking a long time. To elaborate a bit more on the actual issue, the computer can do low-power things like post things online, but sometimes it gets sluggish when doing PowerPoint presentations, Photoshopping, switching DVDs, and mid-power things like that. I have not bothered trying to play a game or edit a video. That sort of stuff takes more power.
Anyway, that's the update.

Apparently not
Hi All,
We haven't been uploading videos for the last few weeks because of the following things:
Sorry!
We haven't been uploading videos for the last few weeks because of the following things:
- My computer issues mean that I can't do much work for SAIM.
- Stephanie is on holiday.
- Ihasnotomato has his own stuff to do, did a lot of the work for a while but got tired of it, and now we're just waiting for my computer problems to end.
Sorry!
