BIGHMW Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Well, The series debut (Episode 1) will be filmed tomorrow morning, and then after a subsequent backlog of future episodes will also follow so I have enough for at least 4 episodes, to start off with, I hope you guys will enjoy it, it wil be more polished off than any of the episodes of The Atari Report ever were, in fact I picked up some great pointers, including capsulizing each review of every game (during each episode) to under 5 minutes, and yes, it will be pre-scripted (to take up @Gunther's advice on doing so), and, a new look at our new set, can be seen right here: See you tomorrow!!! Have YOU Played Atari Today???

BIGHMW Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 ....and if you were wondering where the music came from on the intro it is an excerpt of "Amp" as performed by Fluke from their 1997 album "Risotto" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even filmed the episode yet, I am going through yet another financial crisis again, I only have 70 cents in my account and no money no gas and I hardly have any food to eat, I just might have to settle for my flashback 9 and part ways with everything else, as the bank keeps going after me with all of these overdrafts and swallowing up entire paychecks, that and also I owe 2 months of internet and also my phone bill. Indeed it may very well be the day of reckoning when it comes to my classic gaming days. I already have the Retro-Game-Boyz controller up for sale along with my ColecoVision, the 5200 (and the Atarimax and the trak-ball too) might be next as well as everything that I got for it over the years here on AA. I DO need to pay rent monthly,and unfortunately several other Bill's also get debited that same week, Peacock, Hulu and car insurance are also direct-debited and that and gas and it has left me in a severe hole, so I am thinking about posting them all up for sale by tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Well, we'll try to get things going later on this morning but I do have to clean myself up so I can be presentable on camera, but yes I am not going to let this bother me, I just have to suck it up and get this thing done, in fact I have already picked out the game in which will be first on this series, in fact it'll be the very same one we were going to feature on The Atari Report, @glurk's 5200 version of Barnstorming, and yes it indeed be well done and up by this afternoon, I know, you're wondering why not Rob 'N' Banks instead. Simple. I want to wait @Ryan Witmer to come out with the finished, final version and that is complete and done so I can give a thorough but concise review of it, and, every review will be a serious one (no more skating around giving out an honest opinion at the expense of sparing anybody, and I will of course feature my thumbs up/down rating as I did on TAR so I look forward to getting in front of the camera and looking good for all of you to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traxx Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Still plan on doing the 5200 report? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGHMW Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 One episode in the books, I just have to do the in-game voiceover, but yes WE ARE getting things done finally. I am also working on thumbnails for each episode (namely the episode number and the game title we are featuring) I also have to film a few episodes of my hard-hitting commentary series "Ray Jackson - My 2¢" as well. I want to have a backlog of episodes of most of my miniseries on both my Ray Jackson YouTube channel and also my BIGHMW TV YouTube channel as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 I have to redo the coverage (the hosting part at beginning and end segments) and add in the ingame voiceover but we are shooting for an October 1st debut, this allows me to have a backlog of episodes to be filmed this coming week like I already did with "My 2 cents" last week on my Ray Jackson YouTube channel, but yes it will be out, so fret not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, that'll make a great history lesson on what goes on behind the scenes and what goes into the making of a game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
