It appears she doesn’t know what “pixel perfect” means, as the way she’s used it here suggests it has something to do with how the game looks. It’s got nothing to do with that! It either refers to the sharpness of an image used in print publications or else it can sometimes be used to refer to the accuracy of things like collision detection in game development. It has zero to do with a game’s appearance or graphics, which is clearly the way she’s used it here…
yes mate i would use it discuss certain jumps in manic miner, for example, where you would have to be “pixel perfect” in your positioning or you’d not make them. you can’t say “the graphics are pixel perfect” that’s fucking nonsense.

The Power ON/OFF SWITCH has suddenly morphed into a button????
Blimey love, if you can’t even distinguish between the 2, then a book about video games is not one she should be attempting to write..
Or write a book period.
Just refund the money Octavius, it’s never going to happen.

She has 373 monthly patrons paying a min of £5 to her, in exchange for, as of today, 3 excuse filled posts about why she’s not done much, since October.
Theft. Absolute theft.

And as I was just about to say it myself, you said it – The SNES has an on Switch, not a button! She really should know that the audience she’s writing this book foot would sniff this lie out like rat piss in a rug.

Late to this party as Ive just found this site – I was wondering where the hell you’ve been hiding George!
In her defense [ takes a deep breath and steps back ] I genuinely think most – note – ‘most’ Retro gaming youtubers start out with the best of intentions, and when the viewing figures start to creep up, and pound signs look as if they could be a real possibility, then slowly but surely, you can see the style of the content change, and the candle of genuine enthusiasm slowly starts to go out.
She definitely started out with a certain channel persona in mind but twisted it into something else after realising that being the poor frail little waif with emotional problems was like catnip to the thirsty incel audience who think she’s (sorry, they’s) gettable in exchange for money and gifts.
Her twitter paints a picture. For every “oh woe is me” tweet – usually explaining why she’s not bothering to stream yet again – there are dozens of platitudes from the inevitable roster of chronic masturbators and purple bearded child-endangerers, all falling over each other to be noticed. To which, she doesn’t remotely acknowledged them. Not a like, not a reply, not even a later tweet thanking everyone for their support. She just counts the Patreon and knocks back another chablis, and merrily murders another small furry creature out of her Elmyra-esque rodent torture dungeon.

Isn’t Paul Gammon’s book about his Ghostbusters costume (which must absolutely reek at this point) in a similar state of Unbound hell? I know his tiddies aren’t quite as big as Octy’s, but he’s still an absolute bloody chancer.

Theres something very horrible and half seedy feeling about this book….I used to quite enjoy looking at her and her cat ears back in the day but, I cannot forgive not calling a switch a switch thank fuck she wasnt going on about the Mega Drive!!
yes mate it just feels grim, the whole thing feels grim and as if she’s trying to reinvent herself as some kind of self hate guru. it’s utterly bizarre and it’s NOT what anyone signed up and paid for !

Someone should release a book on the rise and fall of the UK retro grifters. Ironically cash in on their shameful antics.
click your “Hi, U4ria” bit in the top right of this site mate then in the page that opens scroll all the way to the bottom. the option is right at the bottom, it’s a bit confusing as 1/2 way down there’s another option that has something to do with “gravatar” but ignore that and keep scrolling down ! seems you have one now anyway, somehow !
I don’t see anything saying hi, u4ria on the website m8, its probably down to the extensions i use for privacy. I sorted the avatar out using Gravatar so all’s well that ends well,
it’s in the top right usually mate i think there’s an options thing or something i don’t know how it looks for others tbh mine maybe just says hi, george because i’m admin !

Jesus wept.
I’m 50 – last night I played Donkey Kong Country for the first time in 10-odd years and realised that a game I used to be an absolute genius at, now I’m old and crap with the reactions of a stoned sloth!
George, have you ever done a review of any Donkey Kong Country games?
i have never really put much time into those games at all mate, i’ve never reviewed any of them but that could change ! mate i used to be able to finish super star wars and the others in the series without losing a life and usually with earning a couple of extra lives. played that recently, found it quite difficult i’d completely forgotten how to play ! i would quite like to get back into those games and get good at them again, most of the games i played when i was younger i’m still good at but i was rubbish at star wars !
it’s already in bits mate it has the side off with parts hanging out as i tinker with it !

sorry about that mate we are working on a solution to this streaming issue ! really sorry ! if you could share the extension here maybe others can use that too but i understand it’s far from ideal
well that is true mate, there will be a few of them here and watching this who’re regretting the day they did so ! when it comes to a book, i would not dare to market one unless it was finished and just a case of raising funds for printing. just because these amoebas in the uk retro scene shit out books ten a penny it doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. it’s easy to write a bad book, of course, but writing something worthwhile is definitely an art and i’m not seeing many artists out there !

Love when you go and look at the book on unbound the publication date is TBC.
yes mate as yet unwritten with no ETA in sight because apparently it’s hard to write stuff. unless, of course, you’re writing stuff for your boyfriend to make $$$, that’s okay. no point writing something you’ve already been paid for, is there !? unreal !
Ooh-err! I was obviously way out then. I saw he appeared to have a couple of kids and a missus, even though this woman went with him on a few trips. Best to leave it there as it’s personal affairs and their offline privacy should be respected. My mistake, apologies to those concerned.
yes mate there’s been a lot of salacious gossip about this pair that i choose not to engage in. i work with what i am presented with, for the most part.
I use to think that she was his wife when i watched a few of the video with her in them, until i found out about Octavius from Georges videos about her (No, really i had never watched any of her videos because i had an idea what they would be like from the thumbnails) but hes defiantly hanging out the back of it or it is some top level “retro” conspiracy and it is in fact his wife and shes playing the character single to keep the Simps and undesirables engaged and throwing cash at her. Lets be honest he is the type to be a Cuck like Top hat twat for the subs.
i don’t really know anything about this mate but it’s well known that they’re partners, although i think NN had a family/wife prior to that but that’s going on hearsay as i’ve not really looked deeply into it. however, it’s obvious that they’re in cahoots, another couple devoted to their earning potential and their own insufferable narcissism !

I’d buy it.
one of the pricks would probably sue, or they’d push a class action suit together ! :p
Use a kick starter campaign to overtly raise funds for a shit hot legal team to protect the project.
Lol, I just noticed the Octavius character art, Who ever drew that i salute you.
PS.. still cant find the option to add an avatar. Someone might have to draw my a diagram in crayon.
u4ria – go on gravatar.com, that’s how mine’s done.
It works fine across multiple websites.
Thanks love,
click your “Hi, U4ria” bit in the top right of this site mate then in the page that opens scroll all the way to the bottom. the option is right at the bottom, it’s a bit confusing as 1/2 way down there’s another option that has something to do with “gravatar” but ignore that and keep scrolling down ! seems you have one now anyway, somehow !

Is my Scuba Dive review going to ‘surface’ (pardon the pun!)?!
Hopefully your diver’ll make it past that octopus bastard!
yes mate ! having some troubles with the pc today so uploading will resume tomorrow !
I do hope you’ve not had to dismantle it…I’d hate to think of your pc…in bits!
it’s already in bits mate it has the side off with parts hanging out as i tinker with it !
Anyone having issues playing this beyond the 9:25 mark? I’m stuck using my android phone atm and no matter what browser I use it gets stuck at the bit about AN SNES power button.
Yes I did, I ended up downloading the video using a chrome extension.
sorry about that mate we are working on a solution to this streaming issue ! really sorry ! if you could share the extension here maybe others can use that too but i understand it’s far from ideal
Yeah, that would be very handy. Been away from my pc for some weeks now, and I look forward to George’s vids 😉
Sorry should have thought on and linked the fekin thing

Cheers mate 😉
Any time you feel a bit depressed about how your life’s going, just imagine being someone who funded this book.
well that is true mate, there will be a few of them here and watching this who’re regretting the day they did so ! when it comes to a book, i would not dare to market one unless it was finished and just a case of raising funds for printing. just because these amoebas in the uk retro scene shit out books ten a penny it doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. it’s easy to write a bad book, of course, but writing something worthwhile is definitely an art and i’m not seeing many artists out there !

yes mate as yet unwritten with no ETA in sight because apparently it’s hard to write stuff. unless, of course, you’re writing stuff for your boyfriend to make $$$, that’s okay. no point writing something you’ve already been paid for, is there !? unreal !
Are they not siblings? I’m sure NN let it slip once, perhaps in the big move video where she’s grumpily unboxing stuff in the background.
not unless siblings sleep with one another, no :/
Ooh-err! I was obviously way out then. I saw he appeared to have a couple of kids and a missus, even though this woman went with him on a few trips. Best to leave it there as it’s personal affairs and their offline privacy should be respected. My mistake, apologies to those concerned.
yes mate there’s been a lot of salacious gossip about this pair that i choose not to engage in. i work with what i am presented with, for the most part.

he is an absolute cuck mate.
Bloody hell. Is there anyone in the uk YouTube retro gaming scene with integrity?
Did you not see her “Horace-gate” video? George covered it. It’s on this site.
Just watched it.
George did a fantastic job on that one.
… tumbleweed …
i think anyone with integrity isn’t part of the scene, if we are being honest. it’s all a hive of self serving scumbaggery !
Nailed it.
I still would love to see a full member list for the secret discord. It all comes down to making the sure the cash keeps flowing
it’s closed mate it was taken down once it became apparent i had some people feeding me info from it :p
