Firstly a massive thanks to the people who have watched my videos over the past 2 years, as well as those sending me replays. It is much appreciated and as the channel grows, it really does inspire me to keep going, and it is something I enjoy. When I first started (over 2 years ago) part of me did think, "Why would people watch a genuine 48%er making videos?" For some reason - you did and for that I am grateful.
This year the channel has sort of changed into a "Viewers' Replays" channel more so than my own games (which more often than not are very uninspiring!), and my clans battles - a massive thanks to those who send me epic games (win, lose OR draw), as well as being fun to make, I think it has helped my, and others' game play as well.
To the Knuckleheads who use cheats - thanks for putting the replays on the websites like wotreplays, your stupidity has helped my channel grow almost as much as good replays! Much obliged!
About me - 42 year old simple Aussie guy battling through the Melbourne weather. Computers are not my speciality but google is a wonderful thing, and everything I make has been learnt from trial and error, rather than expertise. I try and make the replays interesting, offering funny (at times) comments, and often surprise when I see a great idea/tactic working well.
Thanks everybody for your support - hope to keep doing this for a long time yet!

... apologies to those who sent me 9.15.1 replays which I didn't record in time (there was about 5 left when I updated to 9.15.2, which doesn't show them) - but at this stage the website which hosts old clients doesn't have one for 9.15.1 and has indicated he won't as he'll be winding up the website due to lack of funds. If this changes those games will be the first thing I do.
