Definitely not a hidden gem. You should check out some of his ebegging history!
** Retro Gaming/Hardware YouTube Channels **
Is this when his house flooded?
Yeah, and he wanted to do a road trip across the US. Asking for viewers for money to buy a RV and whilst on tour, he could arrange meet ups etc.
I used to watch a lot of his videos, but I really went off him after the flooding/mold incident. I'm sure he had insurance and isn't short of a bob.

The same really, not as interesting as he used to be
God awful lol
I'm enjoying Mancubian Candidate who plays Doom and Paladin Gaming who plays Freespace 2 among other things.

Unless he is the selling those games in mass quantities is there any point? I'm sure all of these content creators with a high subscriber count have an influence on retro software and hardware prices each time they post a video.

What a game!!!

I doubt he does that specifically but with nearly a million subs, this is a byproduct whether delibrate or not.

Ooh, I like a bit of Doom, thanks for that.
I do remember him e-begging for people to fix the leak/damp in his basement. Immediately unsubscribed

Haha, I remember that happening to him! Was wild. He got it fixed and then moved to a new house shortly after. Can only imagine he didn't have much faith in the repair! I don't remember him e-begging though? Did he just ask for cash outright?

+1 for Adrian's Digital Basement.
Has just the right blend of amateurish "looks like he kind of knows what his doing but frequently makes schoolboy errors, but clearly knows about some things, just not sure what exactly", hobbyish retro dismantling/rebuilds/repairs, often of stuff which has literally been left out in fields for years. It his is enthusiasm which carry's the channel, he keeps all his mistakes in, but it emphasises a feeling of honesty and genuine enjoyment of just tinkering with old computer gear. I started with his Amiga stuff but have since subbed and just watch all of his stuff as it comes now.
