Suppose this award-winning feeling is something I could get used to... 😆

New studio arrivals!

My new setup left my desk configuration changed, so I can no longer use my well-loved RØDE Microphones arm which sticks out and would impact my wall, so I opted to move to the Elgato Wave Mic Arm for ease of access and storing away. Also better use of room! Thankfully it worked out well without knocking things over.

I also got myself the Yeelight Libra2 light bar as I was keen on RGB backlighting and better visibility upfront when in darker surrounds, but without any need to stick RGB strips on or anything. Worked well with my Dell Alienware monitor and now my desk is finally in a good place.

Except the cables.
The cable management is going to need work!

Hoping to jump on a casual stream later this week to test things out. I'll let you know when I plan to jumo on in case anyone wants to jump on with me.

Since losing a lot of my data due to a hard drive failure back in November, I lost a bunch of my templates with it, video and thumbnail templates included.

So I had to resort to back to basics videos since, but I'm getting things back in order again. Slowly but surely, so I'm working on new video templates to enter a new era whilst replacing my bare thumbnails with the usual thumbnails I have, which'll make things look consistent again.

I've never been about overwhelmingly overloaded thumbnails and 😱😬😲 expressions, nor focused on virality, but I do enjoy consistency so it'll be nice to have that back.

A lil behind the scenes glimpse!

In other news, I pick up my new mic stand for my revamped setup soon and I may trial some casual streams as a return to form soon if you're keen!

Throughout my years as PokeCollection, I've involved a ton of my friends in some shape or form across my channels - whether in videos, the events I collaborated on and organised, or even work behind the scenes.

I wanted to take a moment to congratulate one of my friends, and his team at Geek Culture, for this awesome milestone, being that Geek Culture Brazil will begin supplying Flesh and Blood products and organized play support within the Brazilian market from June 2026.

Massive congrats to Matt and the team. It's been awesome to see the journey from the sidelines, even how far FAB has come since the early days, and how exciting for the Brazillian market!

In our journey to make Flesh and Blood a truly global game we are constantly looking at ways to make things bigger and better for all our players, collectors, stores, and fans. We have some exciting news this week with regards to distribution of Flesh and Blood in LATAM and Brazil… Yes. We’ve h...
