Update on videos

OK, so I just thought I've give you guys a little update.  I was out of town last week for a funeral so I didn't get a whole lot accomplished.  I'm back to work on "how old school floppy drives worked."  After some of the backlash on the tape drive episode, I went back to the drawing board.  I re-wrote parts of the script and I'm reducing the number of minutes that the guest stars are on screen, as well as the number of movie clips.  The focus for this episode will be mo...

Deleted Scenes from Cassette Tape Video

I had this scene that got left out of the last episode, thought I'd share it here. Plus a few other thoughts.

Channel Trailer and Production Updates

Hey guys!  I'm in the middle of 4 new episodes right now.  Taking longer than anticipated, unfortunately.  However,  I have some great guest stars coming in two of these.  Some you've seen before, such as Clint from Lazy Game Reviews, and some new ones you haven't seen on my channel before.  I've also finally been granted permission to use some great music by artists such as LNDRMN and PSS-270.  In the meantime, you can enjoy this channel trailer I put together...

Watch a tour of 8-Bit Guy's studio

I put this together in all of about 10 minutes... My way of saying thank you to my patreon supporters without taking time away from "official" projects for the channel.

Update for June

Hey guys, I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank everyone for their support.  I also wanted to tell you where some of the money has been going the last 3 months.   I know things have seemed at a standstill for a few weeks.  The two videos I released on 8-Bit Guy this week have both been in the works for the last 6 weeks simultaneously, along with the last 2 episode of 8-Bit Keys that I managed to do in between.  So I've actually been pretty busy, even though it do...

Perks, rewards, etc.

Hey guys!  I really appreciate your support of my channels.  A lot of people have asked about perks.  I guess I'm weird.  I have supported a few dozen kickstarter campaigns and I always choose NOT to request any perks. After all, I want all of the money I donated to go towards the production of the project I'm supporting.  As such I didn't create any perks for my Patreon either.  I know I haven't really posted much here.  I feel like any time I spend here creat...

Upcoming 8-bit keys episode

The CGA graphics episode is about 90% done and should hopefully be complete tomorrow.  I've also been working on an episode of 8-Bit keys that is about 50% done where I will dissect the music from the game WarHawk and show you how it was made, then re-create the music on one of my vintage 80's keyboards.  Here's a sneak peak of the musical score:

New episode coming.

I appreciate everyone who has donated.  I thought I'd give you a little preview of what is coming up next.  I'm about 80% done with this episode.  I think many people will be surprised at some of the things they see in this one.
