Aaaand, just by way of a follow up to that last post, the first analytics update since good ol' Octy gave me a mention on her channel have come in. Here are the lifetime analytics for my subscriber count. I figure this is worth sharing because it shows the appreciable benefit that outspoken...

Well, good gawd... when one of your favourite Youtube channels mentions you in their own videos. I figure this is worth a share for reasons besides ego-stroking. Some of the other channels featured here are really good.

Superfast and kind of unexpected update, which isn't really to do with the channel. If any forum users are attending EGX in Birmingham this weekend, I'll be there on the Friday and Saturday. This has all come about sort of at the last minute, so I'm currently scrambling to make sure I'm in a...

Somebody has loaned me a copy of Dead Cells for the Nintendo Switch, which struck me at first as an uncommonly generous gesture. I figured I'd play it for a week or two and then knock out a review so that Filip Miucin can plagiarise it (ZING!) Aaaaaand then I discovered why I'd been given the...

Oof. I done a big one. This week's review, which took more effort than it should have considering 75% of it was finished last year, viewable now. Giving you guys a little bit of early access, as it won't be visible on Youtube properly until 6:00pm. I've not reviewed anything for the Xbox 360...

Okie dokes! The latest video is up now - and it's a re-jigged and re-mixed version of my review of ASTEROIDS for the Atari 7800, with improved audio and a marginal tweak to the video settings. I'm working like mad to get next week's video ready, which is going to be a bit of a Monster. After...

By this stage, it seems like it's just a built in part of the Youtube experience. It is indeed pathetic, but if the site provides the mechanism for it, people will dependably jump on it. I've killed visible ratings on videos now, and that seems to have deterred the day one insta-bombers. You...

That does indeed count for a lot! Views on these videos are pathetic at the moment. Of the ones I've made public so far, only one of them has hit as many as 30 views, and I've already had a couple of attempts at open trolling / dislike bombing. So to hear that folks are enjoying them at least...

Ha! Cheers! This was actually quite a tricky one to put together.

This week's review is up! Warning: contains Hugh Jackman. And shirtless Hugh Jackman. Well, digitally recreated shirtless Hugh Jackman. Whatever - brace yourselves, ladies!

This is the best sentence I've read on the internet all week.

The video I worked on yesterday is now live. It's a thorough dissection of the Sega Game Gear version of BUBBLE BOBBLE.

And my level 18 Imperial will be found alone, minus one eye and an arm, shaking in a cave somewhere... muttering "this is a war... like any other..."

AAAARGH! For god's sake, somebody rescue me from Skyrim! I just got married, built a house and filled it with cheese and killed a floating alien testicle. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER A MONTH!!!

Advance tease of a video in progress. Like, LITERALLY a work in progress.

New video up! This one's for Nintendo Switch owners with tastes that skew towards indie games. It''s a review of SUBSURFACE CIRCULAR by Mike Bithell.

Ah, but you have! Tackling issues with audio levels proved to be a MASSIVE task prior to launch (I'm now left with something like 35 project where I need to either re-record audio or remix it) and your comments a ways back were actually very helpful. I had to collate a lot of different input...

My bad! Checking things over, I see that your thank-you credit is actually appended on another video. Sorry about that! Just to be transparent here, I added a brief 'thank you' at the end of my first couple of videos to mention folks who had given feedback and comments that helped me to zero in...

Cheers, Phobos! (Incidentally, I hope you spotted you got a mention in the special thanks at the end of the video!)

Just a quick update, guys and gals. It's early days in this venture, I know - but performance for this video has been ABYSMAL. 12 views. TWELVE. And now Youtube has killed it stone dead in search thanks to its crappy algorithms. I'd ordinarily write off poor performance as a case of folks...
