Why did he go with Linkara19 of all things?

is the Contest of Champions over already or is it going to span half of his fucking show?

Storyline
At the time of this writing, Fes (the physical actor for the Bandit Chief) and I have had a big planning meeting for filming the finale to the Contest of Champions.

In case you didn’t see my announcements about it elsewhere, the Game Show Reviewer and I have decided it would be best to not work on the Space Race portion – the missing segment of the Contest – until I put together the compilation video of all the storyline segments. The reason is pretty simple: the effects work. The race is effects heavy unlike any other we’ve done – it’s a fairly long script for it as it is, but since it’s either green screened cockpits or spaceships doing a loooot of spaceship stuff, it’s all CGI and he’s one dude doing it all. He already had to delay a lot of work because he got married back in November, but we estimate it’ll take waaaay too long to finish this if it’s our priority and we both agree on one thing: this storyline needs to end.

The Contest of Champions was supposed to be a fun, quick, easy storyline but things have just kept conspiring to screw it up – the pandemic, needing to rely on other actors, the amount of effects necessary not just for the race segment, but ALL the segments. It technically began in 2017 and we’re now in 2023. A third of my show’s existence has been devoted to it and I’ve had to put off other storylines I’ve wanted to do, cut a bunch of content I had originally planned for it… and yeah, this just needs to end.

We’re filming the finale, going to try to make it as fun and entertaining as we can, but one way or another we’re moving on from this. I had originally set a deadline in January to have it done by then or else just make a video explaining what was SUPPOSED to have happened and just make that the canon ending, but after all the investment into this finale, the only way I’m going forward is by finishing this.

Once it’s done, we’ll move onto the next storyline – the Architects of Mirrors, which is considerably simpler, less effects heavy, less other actors, and finally resolves a few things in the background that have been simmering. I appreciate everyone’s patience during all this.
