Unbound is Undone!
Sorry about the weird quality of the gameplay in this video. Presumably an issue with capturing the shader (which looks absolutely fine prior to going through OBS). It’s the audio that counts, though!

Missed your videos George, hope your health recovers quickly mate. Another great video, we can always rely on you to cut through the bullshit and tell us what’s really going on. Hugely predictable of course, the usual grifters strategy, delay long enough and another excuse will surely come along to bale you out for doing precisely FUCK ALL and ripping everyone off.
Wondering of you have any plans for a Barcadia update? As far as I can make out it closed temporarily for a month in January for an update, and four months later it’s still closed, all the borrowed cabs have been reclaimed and its being used as a storage unit for retro gear no doubt donated by the gullible and waiting to be listed on eBay for a tidy profit! Another one that was depressingly predictable but still entertaining in the same way a B-movie horror film is. You know everything’s gonna go to shit, it’s just the anticipation of WHEN it’s going to go to shit that keeps us hooked!
I guess on the bright side there’s always a never ending flow of self-promoted narcissism from these YouTube grifters and we can rely on George Bum to expose it!
All the best, mate!
Peter now has another (third) video production company. First one struck off, second anytime now.
No announcement about the failure of Barcadia.
Multiple video production companies goes mostly unnoticed by his YouTube viewers.
Why does he bother? He’s such a talentless little wasteman. He should just get a normal job and stop trying to pretend he’s actually got enough skill to steer a startup through an incredibly competitive marketplace that’s full of people much smarter and more savvy than him. He’s a berk!
Anyone interested in playing a game of guess the unbound author? I’ll start – “what really went on with Unbound, how they ripped off authors financially, sat on projects they weren’t interested in and gave no feedback to my and others work – there are tonnes of authors in the same problem as me. I turned my book over to them in 2023 – they didn’t touch it for a year. I had to pay for my own editor to do the work Unbound where meant to do themselves with the funds raised. So i spent two years trying to get them to do their job and release the book, which they ignored and then went into administration leaving me and SO many authors without anything to show for their work. So whilst you focus on my book and issue’s therein, i’ve spent years of emails begging them to do something with my book and was ignored. I can’t get access to my backers, but fighting with data protection to get those details to send the book, digitally to those who supported me, recording an audiobook myself to send out and still self finance a live show to do what I can. So no, i didn’t just sit back and take my time, i was constantly trying to sort this crap out. Its 15 years of my life and I’m going to keep fighting to get the book out and make sure no matter what happens, those backers get the book. so thanks for your concern,“
“Anyone interested in playing a game of guess the unbound author?”
No, although I’d love a game of “Pin the tail on the wanker” now that you’re here.
Checking today the site is back up, as are all the book projects available for pre order and related blogs etc. So good for consumers who have backed.
Looks like some of the unpublished books aren’t showing up or showing up with little to no information.
Another company promises something and then takes the money and runs.
Sorry to hear about your bad health, but I kind of been in the same boat as I had a stroke a week before Christmas. Hope you can feel better soon.
By the way I did laugh today when I heard the 3 YouTubers (Tipster, Review Tech USA and the Quartering) who supported Lady Decade have either deleted their channels or are in financial ruin. Karma has come to bite them on the arse.
Jeez, mate, I didn’t know that. Really sorry to hear that, mate. Yes, none of us are getting any younger :-/ Are you recovering okay now? I hope so! Yes, the reason Tipster has gone into hiding was/is very creepy/odd. I know Rich Review tech is always floundering, but I think he has his CRT business (or not? I’ve not been keeping up). The Quartering, sadly, still seems to be kicking around. Do tell more on that if you know the gossip!
I hope you are doing okay now, mate, anyway 🙂 All the best!
Yeah, losing weight and trying to take it one day at a time.
Thanks for asking.
Do not despair though, she’s going to the Edinburgh Fringe!
I see it’s “stand up” now, rather than music. Good to see that “epiphany” from last year that she was actually a musician lasted all of a few months.
She’s a perfect stand up for these modern times, when comedy is all but dead. Stand on stage, say totally fucking unfunny stuff and play the DEI card and get applause from a pack of spineless cunts. Then again, comedy can be a totally cut-throat business, so let’s see how long this particular nonsense lasts. Anyway, whatever happens, we know that it’ll be bookended with lots of “U OK, HUN?” and plenty of donations.
Jesus Wept. Not again. Last time there was an audience of about 2, and that was on a good night. Living in Edinburgh myself I know the feeling of walking into a quiet boozer during the Festival to find some would-be thespian has set themselves up in the corner. We try to ignore them in the same way we do the occasional crazy arguing with themselves. I remember one pub used to have a note on the door- Folk singers ever Thursday night – turns out it was a warning rather than an advertisement.
Well here’s Sarah’s post on it all.
Going to do a couple of live streams to fund it. Why can’t she pay for it herself?
Was just reading this thread and had to re-read that bit! I mean up front and blatant grifting, but seriously what if no one donates?, Is it then their fault that you cant go?
Because why pay for anything when a pack of stupid cunts will fund it all? That’s her modus operandi these days. She’s a horrid vampire.
Why is she speaking as if there’s a book to be published here? She never wrote more than a handful of paragraphs. This Unbound situation is surely perfect for her, as it gets her out of ever needing to prove she wrote the book (which she obviously never did).
I am hoping Boundless do come through and just blanket send out copies to backers of books that were all ready to go. There is actually a project I backed on unbound which had a release date and everything all sorted so I’m still just expecting a copy to arrive (and so do the authors). So if a book wasn’t actually written, and remember some people would of backed high tiers. I would either want my money back or a promise of said book, just a bit more delayed. I would NOT be expecting to ‘donate’ again so the author could find an alternative publisher.
I found a video by the author of a book published by Unbound. There’s a lot of preamble before arriving at the current subject of administration so you may want to skip ahead.
It’s a different scenario when they’ve sold finished books on behalf of an author and owe them outstanding royalties, but interesting nonetheless. Apparently, Boundless could retain the copyright to work-in-progress books previously due to be published by Unbound. To cut ties with Boundless and find a new publisher you’d have to buy back the rights to your own work.
In Sarah’s case I’d imagine she’d struggle to find a legitimate publisher who would be happy to print unfounded accusations against named, living individuals concerning alleged sexual abuse that was never tried in court. Given the synopsis of the book it’s really no wonder she came to be associated with an unscrupulous organisation such as Unbound.
I really can’t understand why these people didn’t just self publish? It’s not like she’s not good a legion of pathetic bastards lining up to enable her, time after time.
I’d imagine people are lured in by the promise of having all the boring stuff taken care of for them with no upfront risk for the author, much like the Dragon’s Den model. Which incidentally also features dozens of examples of reinventing the wheel. And sob story grifters.
Bring your untapped creative genius, we’ll handle the rest! All the complicated businessy mysteries you wouldn’t understand because you’re a zany, freethinking artist with more worthy dreams to contemplate. It would be a tragedy not to share your heartfelt passion project with the world!
Problem is, if you don’t share their vision at the editing stage or legal issues crop up (curse you real world!), you hit a brick wall constructed with stalemate.
Really sorry to hear you’ve been through the wringer, healthwise, George – great to have you back with another video, always a treat
Sorry to hear about the ongoing health issues mate, keep on keeping on. I think this will be bad news all round, as the ‘creators’ who haven’t delivered what was promised will use this as an excuse to shill yet more money in donations. Honestly wouldn’t put it past some of them to set up another fund me off the back of this to ‘finally help me get published!’ and those that have given their actual money to projects will get nothing back.
Speaking of business failures, is there any news on Barcadia? I’m surprised they haven’t gone through the hoop yet.
Barcadia a few weeks ago. This is where the arcade cabinets were.
This looks suspiciously like the Nerd turning it into his own retro cave, doesn’t it? “Cheers for the money setting me up with my own bar, now I’ll just use that to house all of my stuff I can no longer afford to keep at my office.”
Indeed
It’s mad that we can actually see stuff in there, despite the jungle decor being so dense and realistic, eh?
It has.
looks like it
btw forgot to mention it on my previous post… sorry to hear your health’s been extra shitty lately. Take care mate
It begins already… (Sarah on Threads)
“Unsure of next stream. Had some pretty shitty news professionally and also personally things are shit.
Will update when I can, but in the meantime no stream tonight.
X”
She really is hopeless, isn’t she? Like God damn woman, get a grip of yourself. Her Threads feed is largely just apologizing for canceling yet another stream or otherwise saying how miserable she is.
The pity pounds keep flowing in (and piling on lol). Wine doesn’t get any cheaper, mate, and she’s got pathetic bastards to keep ensnared.
The lying grifters with unpublished dross will love this turn of events; it’s practically a get out of jail free card. The book was finished and ready to go, honest, but unforeseen circumstances, totally out of my control.
Quite so, mate. “The editors who were editing it got edited out!”.
100% this’ll be trotted out as the excuse, conveniently sidestepping the very obvious 350lbs Kim Justice sized elephant in the room that, at least in the Sarah’s case, the book should have been done years ago.
