Early access Rats & Tat video

Henlo everyone.

Just a quick little Rats & Tat video. Oric wasn't entirely keen on it, I think he prefers tat items that can be easily nibbled.

Pleased I got this thing working though, even if he isn't.

As always, thank you so much for your support. Proper video review coming soon!

R-Zone Review Teaser

I'm working hard on my next video, and for a little teaser of how bad this console really is, here's Nostalgia Nerd losing the will to live.

This review is going to be one of my ambitious ones, with the kind of greenscreen nightmares you can expect from my style. I'm trying to get it finished asap <3

Early Access - Computacar

I did another video about gubbins. It's really quite gubbinsey. Can hardly manage all the gubbinseyness.

There is another proper video about a console coming soon, but it involves multiple characters and greenscreen so there's a bit of work yet!

Once again thank you so much for all your support. You give me reason...

Ask me questions!

Hallo everyone <3

I have never done a Patreon Q and A. I know they aren't everyone's cups of tea - and tbh I don't think I'm interesting enough for them - but I think it's about time I let you guys ask me whatever you wanted and I'll answer them on a video.

Questions about anything is fine, I most enjoy daft qu...

Bezerk - Early Access

Hi everyone. Here's what I hope is an interesting video about something that caught my interest a couple of months ago and I've sort of picked away at it since. 

I'm not an expert researcher or anything, but it was fascinating to dig into this one. 

Also, once again, thank you so much for your support. I...

Early Access - RATS AND TAT Tomy Water Games

I'm unofficially dedicating this video to my sweet ratto Beatrice, who died this week. She was an absolute natural in front of the camera and also just generally the sweetest baby ever, but my newly named "rats and tat" series must continue. This time, Pancakes is taking the reins. Despite the fact he clearly, clearly doesn't...

New video! Review of thomas the tank engine on the c64

So this one started from me trying to play the game on a stream, and shouting myself hoarse telling Percy to f*ck off. When I discovered there's also a 'normal' version (I had been struggling with the easy version) I had a go in my free time, and this video is the result.

I used to really like Thomas the Tank Engine whe...

A note on my most recent Extra vlog

Hallo <3

Last night I posted this video, and to be honest I wish I hadn't given the intense anxiety I've had all day about it, but I figured it might be a good idea to post it here since I know a lot of you guys have at least some negative experience with self-harm.

I am fully aware that by making videos like t...

Granny's Garden

THIS VIDEO.

THIS BLOODY VIDEO, I SWEAR DOWN.

REMIND ME NEVER TO DO A GREENSCREEN VIDEO EVER AGAIN.

I bit the bullet and I've ordered a lapel microphone today to use in future videos. My front room is so echoey and I don't really want to put sound panels all over the walls. 

But anyway, despite all...

Quick reminder

Hai everyone

This is just a quick reminder that YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL. I would be lost without you. It's not just the fact you help me pay my rent - it's the fact you give me a reason to keep going, keep making videos and you give me a reason to smile.

I am so greatful to have you. You make me feel so lucky. 2019-02-12 14:10:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Working on my next video

Hallo everyone. I'm trying to be a bit better at updating you guys on what I'm up to - so here, a raw screengrab of me being mardy from the video I just filmed for my next vid. I am exhausted, this one really took it out of me. My greenscreen is so rubbish, as you can see, so very much looking forward to spending ages editing...

Quick stupid video while I'm getting better

Wow, you guys are incredible! I really thought since I've been offline that I would lose patreons - I am absolutely blown away to see I have more than before. Stop making me cry, you lot!

As you might have gathered, I am very very ill at the moment with the depression and the anxiety is kicking my arse. However, I have ...

Ghostbusters - with Paul Gannon

Hi everyone.

As you might have gathered, I'm having a bit of a grim time at the moment with my personal life, so video production has been pretty low. As always, I am doing my best to keep going with things and I'm really hoping to be back on my game soon. I have a couple of short and silly videos ready to schedule but ...

Overdue thank you

Hi everyone,

So I would say at this point, I am more or less settled in to my new home. I still need to sort out a new vets for the rattos, as Beatrice is getting a bit poorly in her old age and quite wheezey - but I did drag myself to the doctors to get medication sorted after about 5 days of thinking about it. Isn't it bizar...

The Entex Select-A-Game

Bloody ages ago, my long-suffering friend Quang brought over a couple of Entex consoles for me to review. I sort of had them for like 2 months and then when he asked for them back, I filmed reviews on them in a blind panic. This is the first of those reviews.

Very information-heavy, this one. Don't worry though, the...

Tiger After Burner

I bagged this off Mr Biffo after we finished studio filming of Digitiser in June because it looked utterly mental, and I remember it being the Argos catalogue when I was little. 

Just look at the state of it.

The Dark Room Review

About 6 months before I started my channel, I saw The Dark Room show in a dingy pub in Soho. It was hilarious. John is a fantastic comedian, and when I started my channel one of my goals was to work with him one day.  So I am delighted to have been able to make this video :D

The Dark Room has got a bit of a cul...

80s Robutler Robot - early access

Hallo :)

A lovely fan sent me a robutler after I tweeted a photo of it commenting about how utterly awful it is. So I had to make a little video about it.

Thanks as always, guys. I'm trying to up video production, and Retro Princess is helping me out regarding admin and keeping in touch with fans - but please bear with m...

Another show and tell video - R-Zone SuperScreen

Hallo

Another early access video, this time just looking at the R-Zone SuperScreen. It's so unremarkable that it doesn't really warrant a full scale review, but I had to show how UTTERLY AWFUL it is anyway. Also Beatrice is there.

Again thank you to all you amazing people supporting me. I have a month left in London and ...

Gamecom Review - early access

Hallo

I nearly had a breakdown making this bloody video. I took it upon myself to play each and every one of the bloody games.

Once again I have to say THANK YOU to all you amazing Patreon supporters - I'm still geared up to move out of London next month and somewhere actually affordable, and you are making that possible...

Show and Tell - Inside the Personal Computer

This is the first of my show and tell videos. Basically, I have a small amount of gubbins which is interesting but does not have enough information available about it for me to make a full video about it. So, I'm just going to show them off. 

This is the first item, a book I bagged off eBay a couple of months ago and was ...

The Atari Jaguar Saga (early access)

This video was a real labour of love. So much went into this one that I'm very pissed at how bad the sound turned out. Currently trawling the internet for one of those clip on mic badlads, since the one I had was eaten by the rats.

Again, THANK YOU everyone for your continued support, I would be nowhere without you. Last month...

PF Magic's Catz (and Dogz) review

Well, here I am - finally uploading a video since forever.

I have to say, so far the sheer depression of hitting 30 has smited me damn hard. I don't have the mortgage, the marriage or the plans for a family I expected to have at this age. I'm living alone in a house I can't afford the rent for and am scraping together cash to ...

With Eternal Thanks

Hallo!

Just peeking out from my smol break from being online to say thank you in massive abundance to you lot. 

I am currently desperately trying to move from London. However, as Patreon money just about covers the rent and Youtube money goes straight to council tax, I can't save for a deposit on anothe...

Palmtex Supermicro Review - Early Access

Another video I'm chucking on here so I can stop being all anxious about it. Whenever I have a video done, I just worry about it constantly before publishing it, so this is stopping me from agonising over it.

Once again, THANK YOU all my lovely patrons :) embarrassingly, your donations are my sole source of income and it's bec...

Barcode Battler - Early Access

Hello lovely patrons :)

I wouldn't normally release a video so soon after the last one, but as I'm filming for Digitiser all this week I sort of just want to get it out there so as not to worry about it. 

You may have gathered already, but I have failed university. So basically, it was a giant waste of ...

Casio Loopy Review - early access

Henlo patrons.

First off, apologies for the radio silence on my end. University is killing me. Honestly, at this stage I just want to get a pass, just that would be enough.

Secondly, I will be London Play Expo in August. As always, disclaimer that I am hugely shy and anxious in person so PLEASE don't feel bad about appro...

Guide to Amstrad's Roland - Early Access

 The lovely Retro Man Cave asked me to do a 2 minute video about Roland. It ended up being 10 minutes. Because I tend to get a bit too involved. So here's the full version for my channel :3

This also marks THE LAST VIDEO TAKEN WITH MY CRAPPY VIDEO CAMERA!!! WOOO!!!! 

I am offline at the moment mostly because of...

My Brain is Melting

I recently got a whole load of new patrons, along with a massive bunch of new subscribers. I don't know where to start. <3

Back when I had just a small handful of Patreon supporters, I was thrilled. Now, I feel a bit like this is a dream. Honestly, I think at some point you guys are going to realise I am actually quite rubb...

RAMBLING THANKYOU FROM AN UNFLATTERING ANGLE

Sorry for how awful I look in this. But I had to do a thank you.
