Patron email address

Morning folks,

I had a few messages informing me that the Patron email address wasn't working. Turns out, even though I'd set it up on my server, I hadn't registered it as a an official addre...

Accidental Win

I seem to have "accidentally" won what appears to be a brand new Mega Drive at auction.

Anyone fancy seeing an unboxing?

Mystery Amiga Console

(Apologies, I re-uploaded as there was a potential privacy issue with the first video)

So, here it is. The outcome of the mystery Amiga console hunt.

A hunt which started in our Discord...

Bitmap Books

I was recently sent a load of Bitmap books.

Now - as I'm sure you're aware - recently for me, is about a year ago. If not more.

SO. Finally. Here they are, presented in a video, both fo...

Things from the National Museum of Scotland

So, I'm back from my break to Scotland, which was incredibly refreshing, but also quite interesting, thanks to the Museum in Edinburgh.

Here's a few photos I took there, which may well featur...

Discord

I've had some messages of Discord links not working (again...), so if you're having troubles, please use this link to get on board.

I'll need to set your levels manually once you're in, so if...

Ay'up folks,

I'm sharing this here and it gives you a brief overview of the revised tiers and any new  rewards you can expect.

If you're on a tier which has changed, I may need to ...

Patreon Updates

Hello friends,

I've made a few changes to the Patreon rewards here. One, to make them more manageable for me, but two, to *hopefully* give them more value for you.

I'll be posting updat...

Aura Interactor Cushion

Here's a video about a cushion that vibrates. But not in that way. Well, actually, yes, in that way.

But it's actually pretty good for gaming too.

Oh, and it came out in the 90s, so tha...

Deserted Gaming Convention

I went to Play Expo Manchester at the weekend, and indeed, saw a few of you fine people there. It was a great event, great to meet a load of people and great to see so many consoles and rare comput...

Evolution of Snooker Games

I don't usually manage to get a video out whilst it's relevant, yet here we are, coming up to the World Snooker Championship final, and here's a video about the very same subject.

Marvellous....

What went wrong with the C64 SF2

Alright, it's time for another dose of Street Fighter 2. This time I'm looking at the tragedy of the Commodore 64 version.

I had to play this game for several hours, so BE GRATEFUL.

Thrifting Season is Upon us

Yes. The sun is up and bargains are out there, waiting for someone with an obsessive collecting need to snap them up and place them in a shelf for years to come.

April Unboxing

Ay up.

Second video for the day. This one is catching up on the post from the last few months.

Some EXCELLENT items here. Many of which deserve their own follow up videos.

That's ...

How the Internet crossed the sea

Afternoon folks, I hope you are well.

For your weekend viewing, I present the story of how the internet got across the sea. More specifically the Atlantic ocean. 

We begin way back...

Game Versions of 80s TV Gameshows

I recently got hold of some ZX Spectrum versions of classic 80s TV Gameshows. I'd played most of them in the past, but wanted to refresh my memory.

In hindsight, I think I preferred it being ...

Little Computer People (attempt 2)

Hello again folks. Here I present the second, and hopefully final version of Little Computer People. This time with LGR's added vocals, and a few changes here and there.

Enjoy.

Little Computer People

AT LAST. It is time for a new video.

Well, almost. This is the first edit of the new video, and will change for final release; mainly because I'm waiting for Clint (LGR) to send me a voice cl...

Turn Your Wii into a DOS Machine

Hello everyone. Apologies for the disappearance. I didn't intend to be away for so long.

But FINALLY, a new video is here. This one was a struggle to make - I'm not sure entirely why - but I'...

Recycling My Computer

Time for another bit of fun. You've no doubt seen the GIF of the chap who puts "My Computer" into this Recycle Bin, only for his PC to disappear from existence.

So, I thought I'd try it out f...

Playing Zool 2 on a CD Player

It might seem like click bait.

But there's also explanation lurking within.

THIRD TIME LUCKY

After changing the first version, THEN uploading the wrong version, HERE is the final version of the Densha de GO! video.

Don't say I ain't professional ;)

It's time for some TRAIN action

Trains. I love trains. Vast, hulking engines that could smash a car to pieces.

Also, Japan loves trains, so it's fitting they have a set of games based around driving a train. They're called ...

Happy New Year!

Huge & special thank you to everyone who has supported my work over the past year.

It means a hell of a lot to me, every single day. I have many, many plans for the channel during 2019, w...

Christmas Unboxing

I hope you all had a splendid festive period, but now it's time to open the post, and December's post (well, the last 3 months or so to be fair), is quite substantial.

So, let's get into it.<...

Festive trolling

A tale of Christmas trolls.

1986, you wouldn't necessarily expect it, but Father Christmas was online, working through letters. 

Obviously, he wasn't immune to a few odd emails, as...

Book Signing Factory

If you ordered a signed book and don't have it yet, do not fret....

I had to wait for some new packing envelopes, which have arrived, and now I have a book signing operation in full effect.

Windows 3.1 Advent Calendar

Welcome to the horrifying world of the Windows 3.1 advent calendar...

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

PS Classic

This one is going out immediately, as time is of the essence, and this console will undoubtedly be fleeting.

If you have one, you probably understand.

If you don't, congratulations.

What's in the Box

I recently won an auction house auction, and here is the prize. Well, two rare (and in great condition) prizes to be exact (along with some other gubbins).

Join me in this SPECTACULAR unboxing and t...
