Commodore History Part 3 - The C64
Here's the long awaited part 3 of Commodore history. However, this episode was so large I ended up splitting it into 2 parts. So here's the first half, and expect to see the second half in February.
8-Bit Keys Award arrives
Strange that they changed the design, so now it doesn't match my other one! Anyway, thanks everyone for help in reaching this achievement!
C64 documentary and Planet X3 Poll
Just FYI - I've started on the long-awaited Commodore 64 documentary. I've put this off for a while because I knew it would be a huge project and take some time to make. Also I figured it may be the most important video on my channel, so I wanted to make sure I got everything right. I haven&...
Planet X3 development blog Part 1
So, I promised I would keep people more up to date on my work for Planet X3, so here's part 1.
Meet the Color Maximite Computer
I hope people don't get tired of these little hobbyist computers. I thought this one was the most interesting yet.
Modern Toy Keyboards
In this episode I take a look at some of the modern toy keyboards. I will probably not release this to the world until tomorrow because I'm concerned about YouTube flagging this video for a cover-song I did.
8-Bit Unboxing December 2017
Enjoy! I was actually close to being done with an 8-Bit Keys video, but had to put it on hold to get this one out on time. So expect to see that in a couple of days. This will go live when I'm done with the subtitles and thumbnail.
1982 Commodore Christmas Demo
I decided to make a Christmas related episode this year, so here it is.
Ad-Lib for the Parallel Port
I just finished this video, but I might not release this version. Towards the end I tell everyone my shipment has been stuck in customs and it just arrived a few minutes ago. So I might re-edit that part. Nevertheless, you can enjoy this version for now!
Update for December
I'm taking a little break today, so I thought I'd give you an update on what has been going on and what I'll be working on this month.First of all, I just spent the entire day yesterday (from about 10:00am until 10:00pm) packing and shipping the remaining Planet X2 backorders. What happe...
Unboxing November 2017
A few interesting items this month! Will go live to the rest of the world when I finish the subtitles and thumbnail.
Planet-X2, The Making Of.
OK, so this video has been a long time in the making. I've spent the last 3 days editing it. There are lots of surprise guest stars. I hope you enjoy seeing how the game was developed, even if you don't have a C64 to play it on!
Full Sized K9 Replica
This is a bit unusual for my channel, but i think you'll like it. One thing I should mention to anyone wanting to get a boxed copy of Planet X2.... Well, I've already sold 70 copies here in the USA and I haven't really advertised much other than here on Patreon and my facebook page. I ha...
Planet X2 finally revealed!
So the first review is out! By the way, I had no influence on this review, I just sent Modern Vintage Gamer a beta copy and asked him to review it. I really wasn't expecting him to do such a great job on the video. I will be doing a video about this on my own channel, but I'll be covering mo...
Assembly and Review of PE6502 hobby computer
This was planned for next month but got bumped up to sooner since I had to temporarily shelve several other videos that are waiting on parts to show up.
Game Reviews: Logjammer, Almost Hero, and Coffee Crisis
To be honest, this was sort of an unplanned filler episode. I have several other episodes partially made but on hold for various reasons such as waiting on parts to be delivered. So anyway, I hope you like it.
Unboxing October 2017
Enjoy. I got a lot of really neat donations this month! I look forward to making episodes out of these items. Still need to do subtitles and thumbnail before release to the world.
Quick video... Wormcam and Arduboy
Just a quick video after returning from Portland. After the unboxing video in a few days, we will return to our regularly scheduled programming.... I'll finish the subtitles and main thumbnail tonight and it will go live to the rest of the world.
Update for October
You may not be seeing another video the rest of this month, so rather than leave you hanging, I thought I'd give you an idea what is going on.First of all, I'm getting ready to leave for Portland in 2 days for the Retro Gaming Expo. I hope to see some of you there. So that's going to eat...
Laser XT Restoration
This is a precursor to a documentary I will be doing in a few months on the Laser Compact computers. Had to get the XT working first.
Commodore History Part 2 - The Vic-20
I've been working on this video for 2 weeks. That's not surprising considering it is almost 30 minutes long. I hope you enjoy. It will go live to the rest of the world tomorrow when I'm done with the closed captions and new thumbnail.
September Unboxing 2017
Will go live as soon as I'm done with thumbnail and closed captions.
Yamaha PSR-6 Restore and Review
Sorry it has been a while since the last 8-Bit Keys episode. I try to do at least one per month, but last month I just couldn't squeeze one in. So here's the episode for September. I hope you like this, but I think the one I have planned for October will be more entertaining, though!
Mini Tabletop Arcades - Old vs New
Doing a little repair work on some 1980s era mini arcades, followed up with some reviews of some more modern devices. Video will go live tomorrow morning to the rest of the world when I'm done with subtitles and a proper thumbnail!
Which music format do you prefer?
So, Anders Jensen and I were discussing the other day about bringing out new albums. I have offered my album on CD, whereas he has been offering his on Cassette. We also talked about vinyl. Interestingly enough, CDs are actually cheaper if buying by the hundreds, where less than a hundred and casset...
Commodore History Part 1 - The PET
Whew.. This video took me 8 days straight to complete. Possibly a record. Much time was wasted struggling with capturing video from emulators and other things that wouldn't cooperate with me. I could have probably made this video twice as long, but I settled on 20 minutes. I actually think, whil...
Septemer - T-shirt-a-geddon and other misfortunes.
Well, September has gotten off to an odd start. I planned this month to be my big "Commodore" series, and hopefully get another 8-Bit Keys episode produced as well. I had the unboxing video finished on August 31, so I figured I had the whole month to work on this series. Well, that hasn'...
Unboxing August 2017
Sorry about the weird thumbnail, it grabbed the oddest single frame out of my video. I haven't uploaded the custom thumbnail yet.I am not going to release this until tomorrow sometime. I wanted to make sure everyone here thought I tactfully addressed the issue with unwanted donations. So let me ...
Commodore PET repair and restoration
This is another one that took longer than expected. Hope you enjoy! It will go live later today when I'm done with the thumbnail and closed captioning.
Advice needed on unwanted donations
I have a problem that seems to be escalating lately. I've asked a few people already on opinions of how to deal with this, with some conflicting answers. So I'm now asking for more opinions so I can get a wider range of answers.Here's the problem, I've been getting a lot of donations...
