It's the 31st of December - it's time for another summary!
As the tradition here as always, this marks the 6th summary on this blog.
In tradition, I (and the rest of the Rayque3 Staff) wish you a great 2017. Unfortunately 2016 has been a year quite similar to 2015, and I hope that 2017 can make a change in that sequence.

Did you know...
- That despite Mario Party 7 - All Mini-Games has been the most viewed Rayque3 video to date, during September, Kirby's Return to Dreamland - All Mini/Main/EX Bosses, gained more views during that month, making it one of the few months in our channel's lifetime that Mario Party 7's video wasn't on first place?
- If we would exclude 2008 (because we've started during the Summer), 2016 has been a year with a lot of declining stats? Not only has this been the least productive year in terms of released videos, we obtained less in everything except for shares (which is the only stat of improvement over 2015). However, proportion wise, we did gain more views through Youtube's homepage and more views from the North America (Mexico and Canada included) and West Europe.
- Even if 2016 has been a declining year in comparison to 2015, 2015 was our most successful year on our channel to date? Even with the current stats of 2016, the only two years on our channel that were more successful than this year were 2014 and 2015.
- This is the first year since its release to not have included a video from the High-Dex-Hero series? There had been several videos planned, including Chaos Zakum (before Zakum the Newborn update), Chaos Horntail (before Heroes of Maple update), Pink Bean (unassigned schedule) and Normal Magnus (before 5th Job), however, these never came to production. Hopefully I'll get back to producing High-Dex-Hero videos next year.
- 2016 released a new Multirandomness video? In 2011, 2013 and 2015, there were no Multirandomness videos released on our channel.
- Proportion wise to our total upload views and subscriber count, 2016 has brought almost one-fifth of our views and about 15% of our subscriber count?
- Despite we're Dutch, the Netherlands is only at the 12th spot in the ranks of most views per country? That is an overall increase by two, because in 2015, our country was on the 14th rank.

2017 seems like a promising year for new LEGO® pieces! However, out of the entirety of 2017, I am most curious to The LEGO® Batman and The LEGO® Ninjago movies.

- This year has been a successful one as for my Gaming wishlist! Not only did I managed to purchase LEGO® Dimensions and CITY Undercover, I also got myself a new capture card and a replacement for my TV. It seems my Hauppauge wasn't starting to malfunction after all (phew!) - after some thorough testing, it seems my Component Input of my TV was fused... Anyway, I also got my fourth GameCube controller (about time!) and I got the American version of Megaman ZX Advent (because the European one was such a letdown to remove the corny voice acting).
- While I haven't been able to finish Xenoblade Chronicles X with a 100% Survey Rate, I did get close to about 80%.
I just had way too much fun with all the other content of this game which doesn't count to the Survey Rate. And to be honest, there's nothing wrong with that!
- Despite EMS requiring a lot of my attention in the second half of 2016, I did manage to find some spots to play Team Fortress 2. I am currently Level 42 at Casual Mode. My Demoman clock is on 456 hours, which is just about 40 hours this year. However, I have been playing Engineer more often to support my team, which is why my Engineer clock has 118 hours! I haven't been able to get my Stickybomb Launcher to Hale's Own, but I did manage to get my hands on a Strange Hong Kong Cone, Merc's Muffler and Battery Canteens - this makes my entire Demoman loadout (except for Taunts) consists of only Strange-ranked Items!
As for next year, hopefully...
- Will I be able to finish my two Mk projects? I hope I can, I've just been incredibly busy with everything and nothing... Hopefully you can spot a few changes to the Hailfire Droid somewhere on this post!
- Will it be a successful year for our Youtube channel?
- Will Youtube allow me to finally upload my Xenoblade Chronicles Single-Part-Video?
- Will it also be a successful year for my EMS career?
That's it for this summary! Took me about four hours to write.
Luxatus Patella and I wish you a fantastic 2017!
