This was kind of a spur of the moment video. I put everything else on the back burner to make it, since it's a new release product. Miraculously, it only took 2 days to make, which I think is a record for me. Anyway, this product combines the SAA-1099 and YM2151 chips from the Commander X16 into an ISA...

Here's what I've been working on for the last week. I'll finish the subtitles and thumbnail tomorrow morning and release to the world.

A while back I mentioned that I had some minor involvement in the TV show Young Sheldon. So that's finally revealed here, along with unboxing my gold play button and a few other surprises.

This is due to the numerous requests to more fully review these keyboards. But there are a few other little surprises in here. Subtitles are synching now, and I hope to have the thumbnail done in a little while and maybe release this tonight or in the morning. I have already started work on a very special 1-...

getting ready to head to Austin. I'll release this to the world tomorrow morning.

I think the title speaks for itself.
UPDATE - I have re-uploaded and replaced the part some people found offensive.
Here's a short little video, but I thought the topic was interesting and worthy of a video. I hope you like it!
This has been an absolutely insane week for me, involving travel to Portland, where I filmed this speech, along with my father passing away, and returning home to a funeral and a tornado. <sarcasm> So, yeah, fun week. </sarcasm>
Anyway, much like the speech I did at the Let's Play expo about AST,...

Here is a new video for you. Hope you like it. Will go live tomorrow.

This is a video that took a bad direction once I started filming it. Hopefully you still find it entertaining!

In this video I discuss many things including:
-Vintage Computer Festival MW in Chicago
-Secret upcoming surprise with TV show
-Car accident
-Upcoming videos
In this video, I review 5 new games for Commodore VIC-20 and C64. I will be following this up with a Patreon-only video in a day or two explaining what has been going on around here behind the scenes, so stay tuned for that. This will go live tomorrow to the rest of the world.

Settle in for this one, it is 45 minutes long. The original edit was closer to an hour, but I ended up cutting some of it out. About 5 minutes of what was cut was me discussing the current licensing situation of the Commodore Kernal. However, there was a last minute change on that, which I am not at liberty ...

I mentioned I was working on this video weeks ago when I was doing the restoration of my Macintosh LC-II. And here it is. It ended up being not as exciting of a topic as I had hoped, so the video is a bit shorter than usual coming in around 14 minutes. However, the video I'm working on now should prove to be very ...

I did a panel on this topic late last year at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, which everyone seemed to enjoy. I always wanted to turn this into a video, but I just didn't have enough multimedia to do it in my traditional style. So, I presented the story again at last weekend's "Let's Play Gaming Expo" in Las Colin...

I have a new video totally filmed but need a day or two to finish editing it. In the meantime, here's a little video update on some things you might find interesting including updates on my family situation, the studio situation, the Commander X16, and other things.

I know I said the Apple IIe card video was going to be next, but some locals wanted me to squeeze this video in next. So here you go!

Just a bit of a filler episode, but it was something I needed to do before I could make the next episode, which I think will be pretty exciting.
2019-07-21 19:56:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. I don't have time to do a video or audio segment, but I wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on. Some people may have noticed my web store is shut down with a notice about a family emergency. So, I'm going to give you a run down of the current crisis. This is not a plea for help...

Just a long overdue unboxing video before moving on to more interesting projects. Should go live tomorrow.

This month I'm trying audio only. Here's a breakdown of topics in case you want to skip something.
00:00 - Discussion of Planet X3 orders
05:10 - My wife's knee injury
06:45 - Change of direction for Commander 16 project
13:53 - Challenges of coding a kernel
15:32 - Upcoming video Projects
16:43 - ...
Been working on this for almost 2 weeks now. Glad to have this behind me. This one is really long, coming in around 42 minutes. The script was originally even longer, at over an hour. But I managed to cut it down. I actually think I should have cut it down even more. Anyway, I guess I'll wa...

I was hoping to have this finished in May. However, my wife broke her knee playing soccer 2 weeks ago (more specifically, snapped two ligaments, so she can't move her leg) and is awaiting surgery to get it fixed. This has really slowed everything down around here since I have to play full-time nurse-maid and drive...

This was a somewhat time-sensitive video so I needed to push it up to the front. Now I'm going to get back to work on the Commodore PC documentary I started a few weeks ago.

This is a bizarre keyboard. I won't spoil anything, just watch!
Hey guys. This is, regrettably, another sort of filler episode. But this is one I sort of had to make because I wanted all of these machines to look good for the documentary I'm filming. On the bright side, I have 3 new videos that I've been working on for a while, but couldn't finish until certain ducks fel...

We finished the kickstarter fulfillment a few days ago. And now I'm opening up general sales. I haven't mentioned this publicly yet. I'm trying to get caught up with some video work and also have some extra boxes assembled for when the rush of sales comes. So, I'm telling my Patrons first. In a few day...

Hey guys! I won't lie, this is definitely a "filler" video because the main videos I'm working on are on hold waiting on stuff. So, I needed something to fill in for this week. Hope you find it interesting!

This was a little something I started work on before I left for Germany. Just finished it up today. A little off topic from 8-bit stuff, but still a neat device with a neat history.
