More videos would definitely be good, but I can understand the “work” involved in getting them put together and upload so it's not necessarily practical to do more. You keep churning them out as well mate, whenever you can. Was very interesting watching your pick-ups vid, where you got Out Run 3D. Was good to see one of the harder to get hold of titles, price info, etc. Prices, prices, prices. That's what we need. Also watched your Road Rash II vid - good stuff. I used to love that game back in the day.

Thanks. I try and keep a regular enough schedule, which I why I can appreciate the time it takes I can't even begin to imagine the additional time it would take to do proper production (at least until you get proficient at it). I agree with you about giving prices. I think it helps give people an idea of what price stuff can be picked up for and that you don't have to pay the terrible eBay BIN prices. Road Rash II is of course an awesome game

Thanks for the kind words guys, really appreciate it . Now then, suppose I should answer some of the stuff mentioned! Firstly my video view count. I don't really "PIMP" my video's as much as I used to. When I first started doing decent enough quality videos I pimped them allover the net, the first one I pimped (40 winks) has well over 1,000 views. At the moment, and on that channel I suppose, my primary reason for making the vids is the enjoyment of both playing games and filming them. I only advertise my SMS playthroughs here, nowhere else - because I primarily want you guys to see what the games are like. This is my favourite site on the web after all. Basically as long as a few people who appreciate the games are watching my vids then I'm happy. Prices paid. You guys really want to know how much I paid for my SMS games? I've only bought about 4 this year, I pretty much finished my set years ago! I'll make a concious effort to mention how much I paid for games in future vids, but to be honest price doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm one of the crazy collectors who doesn't mind forking out for something I want after all! Frequency. This is one of those tricky ones. I suppose quality comes into this too. At the minute I work 4 days out of 8 - 2 days, then 2 nights, then 4 days off - although the first day off is spent sleeping after a night shift so doesn't really count. So I do have quite a bit of spare time . That time needs splitting between my wife and kid, DIY and then finally gaming. I could probably finish 2 games a week, but add in filming said games and it takes a 30 minute game into a 3 day game. I keep my vids simple at the minute, I just trim the crap off the start and finish and chuck it up. But, I'm shooting at a worse quality than I'd like and that's down to time. My canera can shoot full 1080HD, but I choose to use 720, this cuts the upload time in half literally. at the minute a 20 minute vid shot in 720p takes around 2 and a half hours to upload, shoot in 1080 and you're talking a minimum of 5 hours! Add in the failed uploads and stuff and it can take a full day just to get a vid online... It's in the works . I was actually gonna get in touch with you some time soon and ask for a little help making an intro . I've pretty much settled on a channel name and will be setting up an account later in the week Basically, if I'm going to do this I'm doing it right! And that means getting some expensive bits of kit. First off I need a decent tripod - surprisingly expensive! Then I need a decent HD video capturing device, I will not use emulators to make my vids! I'll also need a decent mic to capture the commentary, and finally some decent video editing software. At first estimate that's around £300 worth of gear. On top of that I need to learn how to use the editing software, and as many of you know I'm a complete novice when it comes to computer stuff - luckily I'm a quick learner . This is all going ahead, and hopefully I'll be ready to show something much better in the new year - I'm still catching up financially from my wedding ! If you want an idea of what I'm planning, go watch some of the Game Center CX videos on YouTube, just swap the famicom for an SMS and Arino for me . I'm much better than Arino at games too . When this comes together I'll be asking for support all over the place, I'll be pestering you to feature my vids on your sites, write blogs about them and shout them out on your YouTube channels! May even get a proper Pimp suit ;D!

Haha, I can see it now.
"Hallow YooTube!" And then there you are in a psychadelic pimp suit with matching hat and cane! ;D

Yeah, sounds great. Actually, be a crime not to do it - you've got the personality for it, and I suppose the game collection isn't bad, either. A shame that I've caught ninjabearhug after he's finished the Master System stuff and is winding it down. Still, the collection is there, he can always feature it - variants, rare stuff, boxed sets, etc. Anyway, I notice meu2 has come through, right on cue, with 2 Master System pick up vids. Think I'll go and make a quick cuppa, and see what he's got. I always thought it was more - Hellow Yow Towbe. The way he always adds an R to 'Master System' is growing on me as well. Sega Marster System.
