An update

Hello everyone,

I've been thinking very seriously about what I'm doing with Octavius. For the last couple of months, just the thought of opening my editing software makes me feel sick. And then I think about you lot, supporting me and getting nothing back, and I feel worse.

Performing a song for you

I am suffering from a severe anxiety about uploading videos at the moment. I'm trying to get through it by uploading this and sharing it with you.

It's raw and unedited, but the it's the thought that counts! Also, to be honest, part of the CBT therapy is to...you know, accept that things ar...

I'm now attempting to become an author

Hello you utterly gorgeous bastards.

So yesterday the campaign page for my book went live, and I wanted to give you guys first dibs just in case it's of interest to you. 

In addition, I want you to know that I'm very much more active on Twitch right now and you can find me on the...

Club Drive - Early Access

Hello there you beautiful bastards <3

Here is a review of literally the worst racing game ever, ever made. I mean, it is shockingly bad. Unreal. So I had to do a video about it. I really hope you enjoy it <3

In terms of a Sarah update, I appear to have levelled out a bit after s...

Rats and Tat video, and important info

Hi everyone

Here is a new rats and tat video. I'm afraid the sound is shagged, I'm just going to bite the bullet and splash out on a decent microphone. Anyway, I hope at least seeing Oric makes you smile!

It is with regret I have to inform you that I am no longer able to read emails o...

My depression talk

Hi everyone,

Here's an edit of last Sunday's depression talk, with an attempt to at least reduce the crapness of the audio.

I probably will but this on my channel for everyone else at some point, although I'll be honest I am TERRIFIED. This whole stream was very intense, especially si...

Spud's Adventure - early access

Hello you lot

I hope you are looking after yourselves in these somewhat troubling times. 

Here is a new review video. My friend Quang mentioned it last year when we were discussing rare Game Boy games, and it's such a bizarre premise I HAD to take a look. 

Now the actu...

Rats and Tat early access

Oh hai

I hope you are all doing okay in these bizarre times. It's all a bit scary, isn't it? Which is why I am moving to be streaming every day to provide some entertainment to people self-isolating. As an expert self-isolator myself, it feels right. 

As some of you may have hear...

Early Access - Game Boys

Hallo you gorgeous sensual lot.

Last year, to cheer me up, my friend Quang came over with a bunch of his Game Boys. And he showed me them. And it was awesome.  I finally got around to making a video about it.

This is more of a basic overview of Game Boys rather than an in-depth l...

What do you want to see?

Hallo.

I am very conscious of the fact that I don't create any Patreon-only content.

Recently Nostalgia Nerd started taking vlogs of whenever he's hanging out with me, and while it is irritaiting having a hyper, bearded gent shoving a camera in your face (he knows I love him really), ...

Play Expo Margate 2020 talk

Hello everyone

This Saturday just gone, I did a quick presentation that is to form the basis on what I hope will be a much better talk. After the week I'd had, I was in a bit of a state. But I won't beat myself up too much, because I did after all get up on the stage and do it.

I have...

Early access - Home Computer Museum SPECIAL SHOW

Ey up.

My video about the Home Computer museum in Helmond turned into twenty minutes of just sheer stupidity. But it's still pretty sweet to see such lovely computers.

Now my specific interests are far more in consoles and games rather than computers, but it was still great to see so ...

Quick, gushy post

Hi everyone. 

So, I finally made the mistake of looking up a smear video someone in the community did about me when Mr Andrews attempted to take down my channel. It was something I wanted to do, because the anxiety to do so was insane and I figured I will be better after watching it. 2020-02-10 15:49:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Early Access - THE MIGHTY DYNOVISOR

Ey up, you highly sensual lot.

Here's my follow-up on the Jaguar VR, with the Dynovisor. It was *kind of* what the Jaguar VR was going to be, if the Jaguar VR was going to be baubles. The one I have was kindly given to me by ReEnthused. Using it was....an experience.

I really hope you...

Quick message for Patreon supporters

Hi everyone,

Just a couple of things I wanted to say to you lot specifically.

Thank you xx

Early access - Jaguar VR Headset

Hallo you gorgeous lot.

I hope you all have the most wonderful new year! 

Here is my full documentary about the Jaguar VR. This was a tough one purely because I wasn't able to find one that's working to play, although I did get to touch one. I was told by the owner that doesn't m...

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! I spent my new year's eve sat on the sofa with rats. Pictured: Officer Waffles and Professor Flapjacks. 

I am well on my way to being sorted out now in terms of getting myself back together. I hate how long it took, obviously, but what matters is I'm making pla...

Early access vid - Virtuality Games

Hi everyone, and I hope you are having a lovely holiday season!

This video was due out last week, but me being me I agonised over it for that long. And then had serious problems with exporting it. BUT IT'S HERE FOR YOU NOW.

I hope you enjoy it <3

We have lift off!

I just this minute finished filming the on-camera parts for FOUR SCRIPTS :D

I feel really excited to be back to work now. Just absolutely delighted. Really excited about getting videos done, very comfortable in my new editing suite I'm using, and just generally really up for the next chapte...

Octav1us 2.0

Hi everyone!

Sorry for going back up with Patreon without an explanation. I am officially making videos again!

I've been working hard on scripts that I had nearly finished before it all kicked off a month ago, so there will be videos very soon. I'm trying to give myself a set schedule...

Bye for now

Hi everyone.

On the back of everything that has been sent my way due to the IP troll, I'm closing down my Patreon account for a while.

Fact of the matter is, while I'm too unwell to make content, I don't deserve to be paid. I don't want to take anyone's money if I can't guarantee that...

Update

Hello everyone, and hello to my influx of new supporters.

Where do I begin? This past 24 hours has been...everything. Everything bad, and everything good. I haven't actually slept yet and am functioning purely on nervous energy, so please do bear with me. 

I have been promised th...

Rat.

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to say I'm doing a lot better mentally now. Still struggling a bit, but no where near as bad as I was. I want to say formally and seriously, thank you SO MUCH for waiting for me and giving me the support I so desperately needed. I am so grateful.

I think I'm e...

Another Rats and Tat - early access

Hi everyone

Here's another cheeky Rats and Tat video. 

I'm really sorry how unwell I am right now. I've finally thought screw it, and am seeking help actively - went to the doctor and just had a massive breakdown and he sorted me out with an urgent referral. I'm so sick of feelin...

Early Access - new Rats and Tat video

Hi everyone

This is the first video I've ever made with Vegas, and it will be abundantly clear that I have no idea what I'm doing. Please bear with me while I work out whether I want to stick with it or have a pop at Lightworks.

I have been really unwell mentally since my birthday, bu...

Every Action 52 Megadrive game in 13 minutes

Hi everyone,

I clipped together each game from the Megadrive Action 52 stream I did last month. Makes a nice enough video if you like seeing dreadful games.

I've been really unwell mentally since my birthday. I really do feel like I'm a failure, I'm old, and it's too late for me to do...

August Newsletter

Hello everyone, here is your August newsletter as written by myself (Oct) while two of my rats try very hard to walk all over the keyboard.

As you will have noticed, the reward tiers have changed. I am trying so hard, with the help of Retro Princess who is doing an excellent job of keeping ...

My Visit to Leicester Retro Computing Museum (patron only)

Photos (and video stills) myself and Nostalgia Nerd took when we went to look at the Virtuality machines at Leicester Retro Computer Museum!  

There was a lot of gubbins in a very small space. The owner of the Virtuality machines, Simon, kindly chatted to us after closing ...

Early Access Tiger R Zone

Hello everyone!

Here's a 29-minute video review of the R Zone. Including some dodgy green screen action.

So happy to have this one done, because now I NEVER have to go back to Premiere Pro again. Delighted. This would have been out weeks ago if it weren't for that program.

Thank...

Early Access Action 52 best bits

Hi everyone!

I clipped together each and every Action 52 game I played on the stream the other week down to about 12 minutes of me just marding at crap games. It turns out I swear a LOT. I really need to put a stop on that - I mean, I know it's Action 52, but when every other word is the F ...
