CHEESY VIDEO!
Second vid of the day, and a very early exclusive, as this one won't be going out for a couple of weeks. It's the second taste-test that Sanja and I filmed recently. Rather keen on this one.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES UPDATE
So, today is Digi filming day. We've got some new lighting - which we started playing around with the weekend before last (you'll have seen the results of our experiments in the Iceland taste test vid). We're slowly getting production levels up to a point that I'm happy with.
We're also trying some different things today - a few game formats that are our own, and very silly. Gannon and I both enjoyed the Game Off card game we played last time we got together, so we're going to try some ...

Hello Patrons! I've given the Digi/Biffo Patreon a bit of an overhaul. I've added an extra tier, which is for anybody who is paying $5 or more a month. I've been toying with this for a while, because I've been wanting to write more regular, more personal, blog posts - and possibly vlogs - that didn't fit elsewhere. and didn't feel entirely comfortable doing it when they'd be accessible to those who might've just signed up on a whim, or out of curiosity. It's going to be the sort of longer-for...

Hello $5 and above Patrons! From here on you’re going to be getting blog posts that are a bit more personal than I’d ever put on Digitiser, and which don’t necessarily fit with the whimsical tone of what I do elsewhere.
I was doing that already on here of course, but I always worried that there might be those who just pay 70p a month who were only there to gawp, and it risked them sharing...

ANOTHER New Video?!?!
Hey yo. Me again. Sorry for flooding you with stuff, but I'm back at work next week, so trying to get ahead with editing. Here's the ep that'll be going out a week on Sunday waaaaay ahead of its public premiere.
It's kind of a bumper edition, which includes a second round of Game Off, among other things... Have fun!

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO FOR PATRONS ONLY!
Here's a Christmas leftover for you: a sequence which I started putting together for the Digi Christmas Special, but never finished. Because, frankly, it wasn't good enough. I planned to get somebody to do a proper voice-over on the finished version, but then abandoned it altogether because the idea wasn't strong enough. I did the BVTV sequence instead.
Enjoy!

NEW YEAR MESSAGE - AND PLANS FOR 2020!
End of the decade, then. It’s been one heck of a one for me, starting with getting the gig as lead writer on 4 O’Clock Club – a show I’m hugely proud of, which comes to an end next year – getting a couple of other co-created, lead writer, shows on CBBC, meeting my later-to-be wife, writing a terribly-received film, rebirthing Digitiser, starting a YouTube channel, meeting Gannon and others… I’m ending the decade in a completely different place professionally, creatively,...

Phew. Blimey. This was a lot of work. I've been tinkering with this episode for weeks.
Originally we'd had a completely different idea for the Christmas special, but the nature of it meant that due to the injuries Sanya and I have been recovering from meant that we were forced to abandon it. A shame, but I remained determined to do something a bit different, built around the framework of a mostly regular Digi Mini.
In actual fact, while this may be different... it's also kind of f...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-check-it-out! New Digi vid time - and it's another Biffo/Gannon/Eli threesome. This time we're sort of doing some actual gaming stuff, as we look at a bunch of old Tomy handhelds. Inevitable diversions ensue... Observe it below.
Now... in other news... I've been thinking about what I can do to give a bit of extra value on Patreon, especially as I want to take on less paid, day job, work next year. We've only got the one tier, and though it's obviously only a suggested amount...

Starting this Sunday, and going through to the end of the month... we're giving the Digi videos a bit of a festive sheen, which will culminate in a special extra-long episode the Sunday before Christmas. There'll be a bit of something for everyone, I think, whether you're a fan of Digi or Found Footage.
Anyhow, this weekend's ep features Eli from Cheapshow and Barshens, and it's the first of our post unboxing videos that I felt was strong enough to put out.

So... after a lot of soul-searching, and an extremely challenging year... I'm pulling out of a lot of day job work for next year.
I had a guaranteed commission for a third series of one of my kid's shows, but they were pressuring me to start work on it immediately, and simply... I'm not ready.
It has been an incredibly stressful and demanding series to work on already, and though it would've meant I had a guaranteed income for the next 12 months, a mixture of still rec...

Hello gang. Here's your early access to Sunday's video, the last of the Ashens eps (at least until he decides to grace Digi HQ once more). It's another taste test - and this time we're eating disgusting Pringles.
We've got some post-opening eps that I need to edit, and I'll most likely make those Patreon exclusives.
For now... enjoy!

Hello, you lot. Been a while since last we conversed privately on here... How you all doing? Alright? Good.
Anyhow - here's a new Digi Mini for you, which will be going up for general consumption this Sunday.
It's just me and Ashens this week (with a cameo from Gannon), doing one of those weird food taste tests that everyone does. Some of the usual mania is reigned in a little, but it makes for a pleasant change of pace. Good to mix it up.

THE FORCE WAS WITH US
Hello all.
So, I'm flying back home this evening. It has been an eventful trip to say the least.
Some of you are probably aware that two days into the trip, we were involved in a major car accident, which left Sanya with a broken collarbone, and me with a serious avulsion (basically, a cut where all the skin has been ripped away, down to the tendons/muscles/bones) on my right hand.
We're healing well, but both covered in bruises, and still - more than a week on -...

H'okay, chums. Here's the last thing you'll be getting from me for a couple of weeks.
It's the video that the "controversial" photo came from. I'm not going to make it available to the wider public - so please don't go and share it everywhere; it's just for you - but I think, in context, it's completely fine.

Digi's YouTube audience seems to be waking up to the fact that the channel's shift away from video games might not be a temporary thing. In the last week we've had the first comments saying that people miss us talking about old retro gaming tat.

I love reading the comments - good or bad - because it's how I interact with the audience. I wouldn't read them if I couldn't take the bad ones. That said, probably one out of a thousand does get under my skin, and make me feel I need to address it.
