December 1992. Bad Influence jets off to Electronic City. aka Akihabara. We also get a juicy glimpse of behind-the-scenes at SEGA HQ.
I threw this old SD recording into a CRT shader in RA and it did wonders for the clarity.

This #ValentinesDay, find someone who looks at you the way this bannock spade does! 😍
Heart-shaped bannock spades were often made and given as love tokens to wives and girlfriends. Much more useful than a box of chocolates...

The trailer for “HBO’s Mario Kart” (it’s a Saturday Night Live skit, duh) somehow retroactively makes everything involved with it and its source material and inspirations for parody somehow better than they already are

This is one of the more extraordinary pieces I've put together. I interviewed - a man I've strongly disliked for decades - about why he sued Pokemon to stop using Kadabra 20 years ago, and...accidentally ended up really liking him.

New video! Operation Wolf for the ZX Spectrum. What will 45 year old Binni, experiencing the game for the first time, think? Had a lot of fun editing the intro. 
Special thanks to @VioletBerlin, @JAMOGRAD, @richiehead and @BuddypalsTweets for the help!

Or, you know, you could back my Patreon in amazing numbers, so I can focus on raising the profiles of unknown indie games and developers, and turn the entire thing into a profitable business, hire writers, and change the world.

This was the most ridiculous it got for me in 2022 so if you haven't seen it, have a look. There'll be more eps of Digi Level 2 from in 2023 and I can't wait to watch them.
