This is a really shallow comment but your humour, voice, and dialect go so good together. So pleasing to listen to. Of course your content hits me the right way as well :) Your background music also works extremely well for me, being a long-time fan of Django and jazz manouche in general.

That was very nice of you to say. I'm glad you like it, I try to this stuff in my own way.

I looked up the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Trip Advisor after watching your video! It was an entertaining read. Someone had the shower rail fall on her head. Another guest puts under the "Positives" of their stay "Many of the holes in the walls and a lot of the mould has been improved".

Great video, and I even spotted myself in the panels/talks room getting rained on. It was my first visit to Play Expo this year, and I really enjoyed it. I even somewhat lucked out with my room; it was clean, had a window (yes, other people's rooms didn't!) but the following morning I found it had paper-thin walls as I was rudely awoken at about 8am with the guy next door doing a massive fart. Ah, only at The Norbreck.

4:58 - 5:02 there I am with my signed backwards doom cap! I was hogging the neogeo trying to keep it free for RoseTintedSpectrum 😂 was lovely to meet you and chat about ukeleles! 😁

It was lovely to meet you too. Hopefully we will get to meet again at some future event.

"Raining inside" "First person study on e-coli" Nice to see Blackpool hasn't changed in 30 years... All that was missing was a surprise dose of the clap and it was the holy trinity of Blackpool experiences.

I think you were overly excited when you typed the title lol

Not mentioning the beach on a gaming video in Blackpool would've been impossible in the early '90s. I dunno if you'd been back then, but every second shop along the beachfront seemed to be an amusement arcade. Remember my dad trying to drag primary school me away from Super Street Fighter 2 'cause it wasn't on SNES yet and our local arcade still only had the original.

Great video. You look like you were using some kind of Steadicam attachment for your camera or it could've been a phone. I always love when you upload a video. Entertaining and informative. Defo gonna be at next year's playexpo. I just spotted your new video on token ring. Keep up the brilliant work.

I used a smart phone with a gimble to try and kee0 it fairly steady. The camera I normally use, does not adapt quickly to changes in lighting, and focus. Its not what you would call a run and gun camera. You have to setup your shot carefuly with it.

Thoroughly enjoy your trip through the Expo, shame I'm on the other side of the pond. I checked out Trip Advisor about Norbreck Castle, sounds like a fun place to stay.

Cracking video fella and appreciate the nice comments about my panel talks. For me these events are all about the people, meeting old friends and making new ones. Did we catch up after one of my talks? I did meet a lot of new people which is always bloody ace. :-)
