Octav1us King

Asterix Patreon only

Hallo

So there will be some mistakes, little editing errors etc but I just wanted you guys to have something as it's been a long while since I posted.

The eventual video will be longer and cleaned up.

I'm working on a couple more videos right now but I know my content output just isnt enough. I did think I should split into a channel as myself, as my Mr Louis King profiles have, but honestly since I'm struggling with output just accross what I have, I think I'll keep the...

The universe didn't want me to make a Wabuu video

Hello all.

This is NOT THE FINAL VIDEO - as I think I said in a previous post, I tie myself up in knots and make myself sick over 1. not finishing videos in good time because 2. I spend a million years doing pointless things like try to make my teeth look less gross in post which 3. gets me upset and how long a video takes to make which means 4. I feel awful that I don't have a regular video release schedule and yet continue to have amazing fans who keep supporting me despite my chro...

Made a video about an AWFUL NES Muppets game

Hello there,

Here is a video I finished today about an NES game I played on my Twitch stream a few months ago, and decided it was so boring I had to give it the Octavius treatment. It's a bit longer than usual but I hope it's not dull.

  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Thank you so much for supporting me and my Octavius content. It's really become a good laugh for me now, I'm less anxious about posting videos and I have fun making the scripts and filming t...

Dinosaur Adventure

Hallo everyone,

This one is a few days later than planned because - and I kid you not - rats happened.

While I was doing my penultimate edit runthrough for this one, my insane rats Pop Tarts and Skittles got onto the desk and managed to change the timeline output from 1920p to 1440p and I didn't notice because I am an idiot. I realised after exporting when I saw my intro title was cut off at either end. So I'd edited about 1/3 of the entire video in the wrong resolution, which me...

Punchy!

A regular viewer showed me this awful ZX Spectrum game and I suppose it's about time I make a video about it.

Sorry about the poor quality visuals on the talking head segments. I'm working on that.

And as always, sorry for the weak interaction with viewers. I hate the fact that I can't explain it without sounding like I'm blaming other people for my PTSD. I've recorded so many videos explaining it then deleted them just in case they get taken the wrong way.

In any case, her...

Yolanda

Hello everyone.

It's been a little while for Octavius. I've had a lot of emotional issues to work through and to be honest, the considerable struggle I have had for a long time about simply putting myself online has escalated this year for reasons out of my control.

I've however been enjoying streaming on Twitch, although I know my OOC content isn't for everyone I find it much easier because I'm not subject to the toxicity I am when I cover retro games. I get it - it's the intern...

Dragon's Lair - early access

Hallo

I had a bit of a laugh with this one. It's fun to get back to my crappy greenscreen roots. I think I'll do more of the same, if you like it.

Thank you for supporting this channel and the stupid character. I have a real love/hate relationship with her/him but now that I'm concentrating on making videos that I find fun to do rather than trying to keep an algorithm happy it's much better for me.

Continue to be awesome

Janis the Little Pig (more Dingo bobbins)

Hello all,

Another early suffering - I mean - video for you. I did my best with this one, but struggled a little to make it engaging and fun because the film is so bad but still seems like a significant Dingo bobbins, so here we are.

I am writing this having just got back from my second ever gig, which was attended by wonderful viewers and, while it was very rough and silly, I enjoyed a lot. The confidence you give me is something I never thought possible.

I just want to rei...

Zoo Race

Hi everyone,

Here's another vid for you. I've been very sick the last three weeks, but I'm back streaming again hopefully. I have another Rats and Tat to finish and I'll start on another game review soon.

Thank you as always for being the beautiful people that you are.

Rats and Tat (early viewing)

Hallo everyone. I hope you are okay and having a nice time.

Here's the return of Rats and Tat.

I have to admit I'm continuing to struggle. Last year was incredibly rough and there's still shockwaves from it. I have now developed such a severe anxiety about posting videos I become physically sick about doing so. 

Thank you for continuing to support the channel, my twitch channel and me.

Louis

Bionic Granny (early access)

Haaaaaaaaaaallo.

I really am sorry it's taking so long to get back in the swing of things. It's slow, but I'm getting better.

I don't have another Octavius review I'm working on yet so I think the next video will be a rats and tat, which I haven't done in literal years because I was scared of the shitty comments about my rats from trolls. I realise now that's silly - I need to make content that makes me happy to make and my rats are cute, so.

Apparently everything is cool wi...

Another daft video of me forcing a friend into utter bobsters

Hi everyone, 

Just another quick one. A nice edit of when I got Peter (Nostalgia Nerd) to play Action 52 on a livestream. He had commisioned a script/video about the game for his channel at this point but had refused to play it, which I figured was ridiculous. He was NOT happy, and as you all know Peter is quite funny when he's angry.

You continue to be the energy that keeps my light shining. Or some other such platitudinous, but sincere, metaphor.

New proper review by ...

Edit of when I got Ashens to look at gross food cards.

Hi everyone. I hope you had a lovely christmas and a good new year.

Again apologies for not being able to update much. I'm aware this is the reason my channel isn't growing. Ironically, the idea of my subscribers going up at all fills me with dread. Every time I go to change the visibility on a video to public it affects me considerably.

This is a "quick" video where I'm not being Octavius, I'm me. Which is even more scary. This was streamed mid last year. I have a couple more str...

Crabby Adventure video

Hello all,

I did a video about the best cover art ever and the game behind it. It's a bit underwhelming. I think the script was originally like 2/3 just going on about the box art until I realised that's a bit excessive and cut it down.

You continue to be amazing people. This has been a rough as hell  year for various reasons, but I'm still here. <3

Dingo Pictures Animal Soccer World

Here's another awful "game" - I didn't bother adding the gameplay because it's the exact same thing as in the other Dingo Pictures I looked at. And in any case, the main thing is the film which is AWFUL URGH.

Love you x

Battle of the toothpaste tubes

Hello everyone,

Here's another video. It's another odd game that I must admit, out of character I find charming.

Thank you so much for continuing to be amazing. I won't ever be able to express my gratitude at your support.

Early access: Mr Blobby video game

Hello you wonderful people. 

I'm sorry for the delay in this video. My computer motherboard gave up, leaving me without a way of editing videos aside from my laptop. My laptop and Adobe are not friends. It was like editing in slow-motion. In any case, I'm back set up with a desktop computer and already have another video almost done.

I am sorry for not being good at updating. Every time I come on this website I feel unwell with anxiety. The same for my Unbound page. It sucks,...

ZX Spectrum Eastenders

Hallo everyone.

One (1) new video. Yes, this was actually a thing. 

I am very sorry things are moving so slowly content-wise at the moment. I am slowly plugging away at my book and a couple of projects, and I'll be honest - I'm overwhelmed. My mental health is never good but recently there was another dive. It sucks but it's just how I am now I suppose. 

I'm working on another video already - that should be out soon. As always, you're most likely to catch me on Twi...

Butterfly on the ZX Spectrum early access

Hallo!

Stuart Ashen told me about this one a while ago, he seemed very keen to express how bad it is. So of course I was intruiged and did a video about it. 

I hope you are all well. I'm getting better than I was. Thank you so much for your continued support

Fluid on the PS1 (early access)

Hallo everyone. This has been waiting to be posted to Patreon like a week and I totally forgot because of depressionfaces.

There is another video due soon.

Thank you for supporting me xxx

Louis: what it's like to be chronically critically depressed

MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING ON THIS VIDEO.

Speaking as myself and my personal experience with the absolute rock bottom of the depression spectrum (which by the way I am NOT CURRENTLY AT, it's been 16 months). FYI, I am okay and this video is just a sharing of experience and not an indication that I'm about to go mental. 

I am unsure if I want to share this outside of Patreons however. I hope it makes at least someone feel less alone though.

Hallo.

Here is a video about an awful game, for your early eyefaces.

Thank you x

80s Armatron Toy

Hello everyone, here is a quick video I did about this bit of gubbins I've got. 

More game reviews are coming. I'm in a bit of a purgatory in regards to the quality of my equipment so please bear with me, I'm trying to push through with whatever concessions I can make for now but I have things like sound proofing coming to stop that awful echo on my oncamera stuff. Also a new pop shield since, as you can probably hear, mine was roundhoused by my idiot rats.

I just want to say...

This weird controlller thing

I was away a long time and now I'm back. I'll put an update video up shortly. 

More videos are on the way <3

About to cut most of the gubbins in here

Way too anxious/sick to explain in detail, I have to do it and then turn off the internet for a bit. I did post a video explaining the trauma connection to Octavius that I'm basically finally admitting to myself, nothing specific has happened to cause this, I'm just so tired of pretending I can do this just because I *should* be able to do this. I'm not capable of being a consistent content creator, so I'm drawing a line under that after about three years of flailing and now looking to accomm...

My rats made this video.

Thought I'd take a leaf out of better YouTuber's books and get someone else to write my script. My six rats did a great job, as you can see.

By the way, there is an actual proper video on the way - this one is just me trying to cheer myself up and hopefully making those of you who think rats are cute laugh x

The Not-So Amazing Virtual Sea Monkeys

Haaaallo. Here is a video about a rubbish game. 

My anxiety is in absolute overdrive at the moment, but there is another video nearly done that will be coming soon.

Thank you for sticking with me x

New early vid hallo my frens

This one was a SLOG. Every single game of the mega drive version of the Action 52 reviewed. Sorry this one took longer than expected.

You may have noticed I've also cut down some Patreon tiers. I KNOW that you guys think I'm worth supporting, but I personally really do struggle with imposter syndrome and don't think my content is even worth a fiver. Those of you who were waiting for a postcard will still get one btw - and I think with the mug too, but I'll look in to that.

The amazingly awful Tectoy 20 in 1

Here is the review I finally got round to doing of the amazing 20 in 1 Master System game myself and my viewers discovered last year while streaming awful games on Twitch.

Sorry about the random 5 minutes of black screen at the end, Youtube is still trying to trim that off but it's taking forever.

Keep being awesome okay x

Channel Update

Hallo everyone,

So first up, I am so sorry for the quietness. I am still in therapy but the main reason was my masters degree (second attempt - I was absolutely NOT going to fail this one!) which is now fully submitted.

Also, my girl JJ isn't helping me out any more because I'm ready to do this stuff myself again. She was AMAZING in helping me pick myself up regarding the Octavius stuff but I'm now in a mental place to actually manage myself.

Literally about to post up a new...
