NOW THE WEATHER...

Here's something that I thought lost to the mists of time - a short clip from a sitcom pilot I wrote in 2006, starring Mark Heap, Tim Key, Ingrid Oliver, Marc Wootton, James Lance and others. 

It was off the back of this that I asked James and Ingrid to be in Biffovision.   Mark Heap played a desperate weather reader who yearned to be a newsreader.   

There's loads about it that's great, but I can see why it wasn't commissioned for a series. It's big, and ...

SORRY ABOUT THAT LAST VIDEO...

Hello hello. Sorry - I took down yesterday's exclusive vid shortly after putting it up, as I noticed that the grading was messed-up again. It's fixed now (should be done processing shortly).

In other news, while I have you, I'm happy to report that Digi's Mr Hairs - Tim Moore - will be in attendance at the live show on July 20th. He's going to be doing a panel with Super Page 58's Chris Bell at the "Chunky Fringe" event the afternoon before the show, reminiscing about classic-era Digi. ...

BIFFO AND LARRY SITTING IN A TREE...

...T.A.L.K.I.N.G...

Me again. Sorry if you're getting annoyed by all these videos. It's just easy to share them with you as I upload them, and - as said last week - I'm trying to get ahead so I can focus on Digitiser Live over the coming month.

This is one with me and Larry, and a smidgen of Gannon, talking about the games we've worked on (as well as revealing how much we got paid). As always, it's processing as I type this, so it might not be ready for 15 minutes or so... Dependi...

THE KISSING EPISODE RE-UPLOAD

Apologies to those of you who tried to watch the latest exclusive with the Nintendo Love Tester. When I watched it back I saw there were some issues with the grading. Now fixed! 

It's currently processing, but should be up shortly...

BIFFO AND GANNON KISS!!!

My attempting to get ahead on Digi videos continues - so here's your FOURTH exclusive of the week... and in this one Gannon and I finally kiss... and you find out definitively who I love more: him, Larry... or my wife...

NEW VIDEO - PLUS LIVE SHOW NEWS!

You third new video in a week?!? Crikey! I'm trying to get ahead with these, as I've got a bunch of day job work to clear before I can get stuck in properly on Digi Live, so there'll be more to follow.

Anyhoo... video? I'm not yet sure whether I'll put this one out publicly, as it's a bit of a departure... so it might be an exclusive for your eyes only. But we'll see.

SURE SMELLS A MEAN PINBALL!

Another video comin' atcha! This one has me and Gannon "reviewing" Tiger's Virtua Cop handheld light gun game... and me shoving a ball that smells of poo in Gannon's face in a desperate (but failed) attempt to make him vomit. I did try...

It's still processing as I write this, so give it 20 mins (or light a match - haha).

"HILARIOUS" PIRATE JOKES MARATHON!

Here's this Friday's video a few days early. First one we've done with Larry in a while, but rest assured that Gannon will be back next week.

As always, share if you can. Growth is steady but slow, so please help where you can. Thanks, loves!

ANYONE FOR TENNIS - AGAIN?!

Hello! Well, I'm a bit silly. If you'd watched the preview of the tennis game vid, you'll notice I let slip a pejorative term for people of reduced stature. I mean, I did immediately shout "NO!" the second it slipped my lips, but I hadn't meant to leave it in, and had thought I'd edited it out.

And then yesterday I thought I'd re-uploaded it without that bit... but turns out I'd re-uploaded the previous version.

I'm an idiot, but I don't wish to cause anyone any offence, even inad...

ANOTHER NEW VIDEO??!? REALLY?!? THREE IN A DAY!??!

Don't say you never get anything for your generous patronage - here's another video, more than a week before the hoi polloi get to see it...!

It's the Nintendo Ultra Machine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-ZnbN850rU&feature=youtu.be 

DOUBLE VIDEO BONUS HELL!

Hello, chums! Here for your delight and amusement are BOTH this week's videos, which sort of form a loose two-parter. 

Ish...

In the first, Gannon and I look at Tiger's Sports Feel Tennis game - and make an outrageous offer - and in the second we play a Virtual Derby horse racing, and I nearly self-immolate. 

Suffice to say, these are two of the most shambolic, scarcely-gaming-related, filthy and unprofessional videos we've done to date... and consequently are two ...

NEW VIDEO and QUESTION REQUEST!

Thanks for all your Q&A questions. If you've got any more, please post them here asap, as Gannon and I will be getting together tomorrow to do some filming. We'll do our best to answer them all.

Most likely I won't make the video unlisted when it goes up, as the last one seemed to help drive some new Patrons over here. Hope that's okay.

In the meantime... here's the latest vid. I'd been putting off sharing this one, as I remembered it as being a bit low-energy, but it's actual...

NEW DIGI MINI POUR VOUS

Sorry I never got this to you sooner - I'm a bit behind with stuff, being, as I am, in the midst of what is traditionally my busiest time of year, right before all the CBBC shows go into production - but here's an early look at this afternoon's Digi Mini...

Howdy chums!

Feels like a good time to ask for some more Q&A questions if you've got any - I'll answer them all in a forthcoming video. Put them in the comments below!

NEW VIDEO - AND LIVE SHOW NEWS!

Firstly, thank you for all the nice words about the last blog post. Really, really appreciated, more than I can realistically say.

Secondly... we're very low now on tickets to Digitiser Live. 

I'm blown away by the response - we're on course to have every seat filled, which is amazing, and slightly terrifying. I'd hate for anybody to feel they'd missed out, once they hear what we've put on. 

We've pretty much nailed down the running order, we know roughly what we'r...

SO, ABOUT THE NEWS...

By now many of you will have heard the news that 16 year-old Mya-Lecia Naylor has died. While you may not have heard of her, she was cast last year in one of my CBBC shows, Almost Never. 

It looked very much like she had quite the future ahead of her, and had recently landed a role in the forthcoming series based upon The Witcher. 

I actually heard heard the news a day or two after she died, and to say we were shocked is an understatement. You might, at a push, expect to...

NEW VIDEO! NEW NEWS!

Hello boys and girls! Here be this Friday's Digi video for you. It's slightly less bonkers than usual, but I rather like it.

You've probably seen that the tickets have sold rather well, which is gratifying. It never ceases to amaze me that, while Digi might not be the biggest gaming website or YouTube channel, we...

EXCLUSIVE VIDS, TICKETS AND PIGS

Hoooo-ya! 

Firstly, there's an exclusive ep of Digitiser for backers of the Kickstarter. I dunno if all of you backed the show, but if you missed it... here's the lovely little video of me, Mr Hairs and Superpage 58's Chris Bell being interviewed by Jenny and Octav1us:

NEW VIDEOS AND FREE TICKETS?

You may have heard that we almost have a date for Digi Live. Hopefully there'll be some confirmation on that tomorrow or Wednesday, but those of you who've been a Patron long-term will be messaged individually with the offer of a free ticket, as a thank you for supporting Digi for so long.

Though the hall is a decent size, seats are limited, which sadly does mean we will only be able to offer one guest list ticket per person (but you will of course be able to purchase additional tickets...

DIGITISER: A WARPED REFLECTION

Self-concept. We’ve all got one of those. Basically, it’s the beliefs we have about ourselves.

These include personal traits, values, our role in society, even the things we believe about our body… I’m a good/bad/strong/weak person… I’m fat/thin/ugly/beautiful… I’m clumsy/I’m a gamer/I’m not a racist/I’m kind and generous/I’m selfish and mean… those sort of things. 

Obviously, there’s a ton more to it than that – it’s tied up with self-esteem, ...

THE IMPORTANCE OF DOING DIGI

I've sometimes alluded to my day job, but rarely talked about it openly. I have started doing so a little more of late - in fact, I recorded an episode of Barshens a couple of weeks ago, and talked almost exclusively about writing kids' TV, which made a refreshing change from talking about Digitiser and old games. It has even gone the other way, and I've recently added Found Footage and Digitiser The Show to my day job CV. 

So, why only now? Early on, when I was trying to establish...

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

Hello, you lot. Remember those questions you posed a while back? We went and answered them. Hope you don't mind that this isn't exclusive, as I'd originally intended, but I think that there's stuff in there which is worth sharing with the wider audience.
