Friday Talkie: Promo Video, About Shoutouts & Thanks



I talk about the promo video I uploaded earlier today, what it's all about etc and how such things could help the community in light of how hard it is to get noticed these days.

I talk about shoutouts, and how they are by no means compulsory, and everyone is free to not do them if they don't want to, without being thought badly of. I also talk about how they can also benefit the person doing the shouting out, and not just the person who is shouted out.

I say a great big thank you to David, Ensor42, for sending me some really great games, and a very interesting looking book.

Friday Talkie: 2nd Hand Games, Skyrim Fix, Youtubers' Expectations.

I talk about a possible agreement between retails and publishers to share profits from 2nd hand games sales.

Bethesda have finally fixed the PS3 version of Skyrim... and about time too.

Possibly unrealistic expectations of youtubers, be they viewers, or video makers.

Game Videos Playlists

Game Videos Playlists

On all of the system review pages where I have gameplay videos, but haven't yet got round to producing dedicated webpages for them, I've included links to my youtube playlists from those gameplay vids.

Damn... that was a bit of a mouthful.
What that means is, if you go to say... my Atari 65XE page, I don't have any dedicated pages on this site for Atari 8 bit gameplay videos, so I have put up a link to my Atari 8 bit YouTube playlist, where you can find lots of videos (by me) of games for that system.

If you're in this video and I haven't named you, my apologies... I was completely not on the case through lack of sleep. I know there are people who I know, and spoke to... but names evade me. Please a leave a comment and I will name/link you.

I'd like to say a huge big thanks to Dave, Retr0Rewind, for taking me along with him, and excellent work to Martin, murfadurf83 for setting up such a great event. Nicely done!

Interview with Mike from tipsandinfo @ YouTube / BigtimeStars.com

I recently had the great pleasure of being invited to talk with Mike on the "Interesting People" slot at tipsandinfo, part of BigtimeStars.com.

We talked about how I got into retro collecting, retro and modern gaming in general, and all things in between.

Here are the 4 parts of our conversation.
