Chris has had many ideas for his YouTube channel, many of which get canned early or never see the light of say to begin with.
Videos
- As he revealed on his March 8th, 2019 birthday livestream
, Chris had planned a series of reviews on all 13 episodes of the anime adaptation of High School Of The Dead back in 2013 to 2014. He had started this series with a review of the first episode and had even planned to get a friend of his to portray Koichi Shidou as the main villain of the series. However, he felt the first video was not well made and ended up deleting it, scrapping plans for the series entirely. - Chris implies in Top 10N Scary Moments in Video Games (As A Kid) that his experiences with the vine in Tarzan's Kingdom Hearts world could be a video of some kind by itself. That was 6 years ago.note
- For a short while, he had a series going called Kingdom Hearts II Versus where he played Kingdom Hearts II with his friend Badman Reviews at the same time to see who could beat the game first. It was cancelled before it was ever finished, and eventually was privated.
- Pros+Cons and Fiddles were both supposed to be recurring segments that ended up only lasting a single episode each, and in Fiddles case, ended up privated.
- He planned to follow up his Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U with videos reviewing the stages in each previous Super Smash Bros. games as well as Smash 4's DLC stages, but he never did. Eventually he would return to the topic in "Every Smash Bros Stage Reviewed in 10 Words or Less", 3 and a half years later.
- At one point Chris had planned a video where he would’ve discussed music he wanted to be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and was even taking in requests on Twitter. However, with the reveal that Ultimate would contain roughly around 900 music tracks, the video was promptly scrapped.
- A Super Smash Bros. month was teased at the end of his Final Smash Ultimate Direct reaction. However as he stated in his Smash Ultimate review, he promptly became bored with the idea after releasing Every Smash Bros Stage Reviewed in 10 Words or Less.
- On a livestream, Chris revealed that a company had contacted him for a sponsorship involving tasting Japanese candies on the condition that whatever video he made on it had to be solely about the sponsorship itself. Because of this, Chris turned it down as he felt it did not fit the image he had built for his channel.
- During a live playthrough of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!, Chris showed off the first few paragraphs to a cancelled video on Doki Doki Literature Club! mods.
Livestreams
- Chris stated on a stream that he has considered making a VOD channel for his streams in the past, but ultimately decided against it for the time being as he believes he doesn't have a large enough viewerbase to justify it.
- There have been several games that Chris has started streaming that he has not beaten (at least on stream) due to getting bored with the game, wanting to play different games, and/or technical issues on-stream killing his desire to continue. Examples include Dead Rising, Super Castlevania IV, NieR: Automata, Dream Daddy, and Yooka-Laylee.
- Chris started a weekly Twitch stream segment known as Smash Ultimate Weekly News Week soon after Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was officially announced during E3 2018, with the idea being he would go-indepth about the information revealed up to the game's release. However he soon realized the weekly updates on the game were nothing substantial and mostly consisted of repeating already confirmed information which gave him very little to talk about, leading him to cancel the segment after 19 weeks.
- He had plans to stream Kingdom Hearts III on Critical Mode while also giving his thoughts on the game as a sort of live-review. He streamed it once on June 2nd, 2019 before cutting the stream off short and putting all livestreams on indefinite hiatus following a Creator Breakdown on the stream. He later revisted this idea when the Re:Mind expansion was released.
Miscellaneous
- Chris had a sub-plot going through some of his earlier videos that was scrapped as he believed it wasn’t going anywhere. All that is known about it is that it involved an evil doppelganger of Chris inspired by Kid Icarus Uprising and Chris wearing one glove on his hand for an unknown reason.
- He had written the script for the Nicktoons Unite! review sometime in 2012, but never did anything with it until 2 years later.
- Originally, his Smash Bros Stage Reviews video on Smash 3DS would’ve had a different ending joke. However, as he realized it wasn’t actually all that funny, he removed it and replaced it with another edit of Kirby flying the screen. What the original joke was has not been stated.
- Top 5 Blind Game Purchases was going to be called Top 5 GameStop Misadventures before he knew what he was actually going to title the video.
- The same company that contacted Chris to do the Tits n Tanks video contacted him again shortly after for another sponsorship, however he declined the offer.
- He had planned to put Shrek: Super Slam into Top 10 Worst Fighting Games believing its popularity online being soley based on Shrek's Memetic Mutation, but upon playing it he realized that it wasn't a bad game and thus couldn't put it on the list.
- He had originally planned to have one of his female friends appear in Top 10 Persona Bosses wearing attire similar to what the Velvet Room servants wear. Ultimately he decided against it as he didn't want to have
someone see them walking into his room wearing those kind of outfits. - The original name he had picked out for his channel's rebrand was "JustChris," as he wanted the channel to not be associated with any specific pre-existing franchise and wanted it to be just about him, Chris. He passed on the name after discovering it had already been taken by many, many other people, and went through several more (currently unstated) ideas before deciding on "NearChris", a play on the phrase "near miss" that was the only one not taken by a large amount of other individuals.
