Here's Sunday's video for you a couple of days early... featuring the first full on-screen appearance from my wife, Sanya.
It's utter, utter chaos... and probably one of my favourite videos we've done. Also surprisingly safe-for-work!

Hello y'all. I had a comment posted on the Digi Letters Page this morning, which sort of hit upon some stuff that had been going on behind the scenes, and which Sanya and I have been talking about quite a bit.
Here was the comment:
"No offense, but I'm getting a bit tired of the Biffo/Gannon videos constantly, they feel rather empty without the others. Will Octav1us and/or Larry ever be making another appearance, or have they been kicked off the show now?"
Now...

Here's the video that's going up on Wednesday, with the sound semi-fixed. Have fun!

Thanks for your kind comments on this morning's post. It's not why I write them, but it's appreciated nonetheless.
Anyhow. I'm burning through these video edits now I'm back. I just want to hurry up and use up all these ones with the out-of-focus camera! But anyhow - here's the video which will be going public NEXT Wednesday for you. And yes: we do get electrocuted in it.
2019-09-05 16:06:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo, yeah... I'm back. But I'm also not really back. Or sort of semi-back. If my time away demonstrated one thing... it's that it's going to take more than a week in Mallorca to recharge my batteries.
It's weird. I've always gotten exhausted around August, taken a holiday... and then been raring to go again... but this year I'm genuinely teetering on the verge of burn-out.
Actually, that's not entirely true. It's the part of my brain which does written stuff - long-wind...
2019-09-05 09:58:02 +0000 UTC View PostOh! I'm back! Thanks for waiting for me, everyone, and all still being here.
Slowly getting up to speed again, and written-word Digi will be back to normal service soon., In the meantime - hey! Here's Sunday's Digi video several days early. It's a sequel to the recent Pimp My Prank!

Before I disappear on my summer holiday for a week or so, here's one last Digi Mini for you. Sorry you've not been getting these earlier, but I got a little behind with them.
No vids or website updates now until a week on Wednesday, but this should tide you over until then. See you on the other side, gang!

Gannon and I had a very successful day of filming yesterday. Quite possibly our most out-of-control, chaotic and funny yet.
And then we checked the footage today, and the main camera was out of focus for the entire session.
The focus settings had been changed for Digi Live... and we didn't think to change them back. Deeply annoying, a real FML moment, and it means that the next batch of vids are going to be a bit variable in picture quality. Really, really sorry about ...
2019-08-16 15:33:20 +0000 UTC View PostThis Wednesday's Digi video is now available for you lot to have a watch of.
I make no bones about this one being a bit of a chore to edit - it's Gannon droning on and on about bloody Ghostbusters again - but we're not filming any new ones until Thursday, and I'm down to the dregs now.
Just kidding, of course. I'm sure it's an excellent video...!!!!!

I have, though, got a bit of my mojo back, at least as far as writing stuff for Digi goes. Hope you enjoyed the articles.
Anyhow... the YouTube channel continues apace. Here's the latest, due to go up Sunday. I think it's a particularly funny one, and Gannon and Larry were on filthy form. As always, if there's anything you can do in terms of helping share it... that'd b...
2019-08-09 16:50:13 +0000 UTC View PostMy uncle died yesterday.
It was sudden, in his sleep, and he was 83, a decent age. He'd always smoked and liked a drink, but there are strong genes in that side of the Rose family. My dad - my uncle's brother - is 85, and though he had a small heart attack a couple of years ago, he's in remarkably good shape.
My grandad - their dad - was 90 when he died, and would've kept going if he hadn't broken his hip. The doctors hadn't noticed it, and it was only after months of ...

Might actually put this out before yesterday's one, as it has all of us in it, and it's lots of fun. It's the first part of the Q&A that I asked you questions for a while back (be warned: we didn't get around to answering all of them, as we waffled on so much, and it went on forever...).

2019-07-30 14:33:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello gang. So, apologies again for the lack of written Digi content of late. Hope you understand, but I'm knackered.
Apart from doing the Digi Minis, and Digi Live - which was far, far more work than its chaotic nature might lead you to believe - I've not really had a break since editing together Digitiser The Show since last year.
On top of that... I've still been doing my day job. In fact, already I've written 11 episodes of kids TV this year, with another two still...
2019-07-29 15:25:14 +0000 UTC View PostSo even though Phase 1 of Digitiser The Show is coming to a close... the videos still keep on coming.
No gaming content whatsoever, but this is one I'm sure many of you will be interested in....

Hola, all. I'm still completely knackered, so no Digi post again today. I'm just glad I've got a bunch of Digi Mini videos banked so you all have some stuff. What little creative energy I've got left I'm trying to funnel into the last couple of bits of day job I need to get done before I can have some sort of break over August to recover from the past 12 months.
Hopefully those of you who were at Digi Live on Saturday enjoyed yourselves. The reports since seem pretty much unanimously po...

Sorry about the lack of a video this past weekend. Digi Live has been a bit all-consuming (tickets still available, btw - though actually selling steadily).

Hello, you lot. Digitiser Live is just over a week away. We were sold out... and now we're not. Turns out the venue had installed two whole rows of extra seats without telling us!
This means that if you were on the fence about coming, and you're free on Saturday 20th July, able to make it to the Harrow Arts Centre in the leafy London suburb of Hatch End (excellent transport links), and fancy an evening of unparalleled gaming-themed comedy (plus additional 2019-07-10 08:37:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Something I noticed the other day is that my Patreon is currently at its highest level ever. For a long time it seemed as if the number of patrons was slowly declining, ever since I launched the Patreon, however many years ago that was.
And yet ever since Digitiser The Show - and particularly since I started doing the Mini eps - that decline has reversed. So, a huge, huge thank you to those who've been here since the beginning, those who've joined since, and everyone who ...

Speaking of which, we're hoping to get the entire Digi team together in the next week or so - me, Gannon, Larry and Octav1us - so if you have things you want to ask any of us, please leave the questions below.

So, you've hopefully heard that Digi videos are moving to Wednesday and Sunday. This makes no difference to you lot, as you'll still get them early. But I hope you all still retweet/share once they're up. Thanking you!
And here, two days early, is this WEDNESDAY'S video, a bumper edition in which Gannon and I waffle and waffle and waffle (the extra-long Q&A in which we answered your recent questions will be this Sunday's video)...
Hello you lot. Some early access for you - we've something special on the Digi Mini's coming this Friday: Gannon's exclusive E3 report from Los Angeles, a look at the MB Big Trak - and Larry almost throws up!

Video Game Game Show Show was chaotic. Five of us on stage, plus Steve McNeil, plus a bellowing audience... up on stage, with hot lights in our faces, it was sensory overload, and a bit like being in a gladiatorial bear pit. I came away from it feeling a little frazzled. And very sweaty.
You must try and get to one of Steve's shows, or Wifi Wars; the audience get to vote on who they think will win each game, as well as play along en masse via their phones, so it's one of the most intera...
