Hey everybody! I've been busy getting to work on all fronts!

I'll start the news post to say I got to visit with @Fro as he was passing through Texas over the weekend! We got BBQ, talked about his weightlifting competitions, and more as he and his family settle into their new home in a new State.

We neglected to get a picture to mark the occasion, so you'll have to take my word for it that it totally did happen forreal, he's not fake, he just goes to a different school! My wife was there too, she can back me up!

Thanks for visiting, Coach!

The next installment of my sci-fi war novel will be up on Amazon Kindle in late August. "Umbra's Legion" returns to the setting that was kind of the start of it all for my faction in this intergalactic collaboration. What was first published by Fred Patten as "The Destruction of Ismara" is going to be completely reworked. This is going to kickoff a saga that's gonna turn some heads.

I intentionally chose that deadline because I'm going to need a break when Armored Core 6 comes out on August 26th, I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS STOKED FOR A TITLE IN YEARS, YESSSS LETS GOOO

I've been collaborating with a lot of Explosm alumni, and here's where to find 'em!

For starters, @TheBackNine just dropped it's latest episode! I play the role of Bobby Pelican, so be sure to check it out and Vote 5!

Bill Jones will always post on Newgrounds before he uploads to YouTube, so be sure to give him a follow here on NG and a subscribe so you can stay on the front lines of his great golf cartoons!

In addition, I've also been given the incredible opportunity to animate on Mike Salcedo's Number Lore saga! I've already filled in for a couple of shots on the third installment. Check out the first and second, here!

Due to his immense popularity on YouTube, he actually plugged a recent channel of mine, and my subscriber count has swelled to a thousand subscriptions in a very short amount of time. To commemorate the moment, I made a thank you video for hitting 1K subs!

It was a really big deal for me! But then I got to thinkin'...I had an older YouTube account. One that used my original moniker, Phobotech. So I dug around, found the password and checked how it was doing.

Oh.

In fact, as I'm typing this, it's 20 subscribers away from Two Thousand subscribers.

Something happened four years ago where I just up and stopped uploading C&H Animatics. So what I've begun to do is pick up where I left off, and keep uploading animatics until I have nothing left to upload from old archives!

Then it'll be a tricky balancing game as I have the three main hubs. My new YouTube account, my original, and Newgrounds, here!

I do have a long-term plan where YouTube will have exclusive content and Newgrounds will have exclusive content as well, but I do have plans where I can upload certain things on both platforms at the same time.

I'm thinking of keeping the new Geoff Galneda profile shiny and professional, the Phobotech platform rough, shitposty, and behind-the-scenes, and keeping my Newgrounds platform as all-around creative and original as possible.

Animation and art go here, experiments go in Phobotech, more polished video content goes to YouTube.

And that's pretty much it! Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. I'll have art and animated collab segments to upload here soon!

Keep it cheesy, and thanks for stopping by to read all of this!
