^^ V1's first day on the job :P (from the Making of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game)

Hey brahs & bras, WHAT IS UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!

Here's what's going down in groovestown this week:

AXCLOOSIV Nogger U Film Review #3: Being video edited at the moment! Will try my best to get it out by this Sunday. It'll be a whopping 45 minutes!

OSW Live: No progress yet :( I've contacted Gimmick Tree/Brad again re: the footage with several options. I'm spending the next few days prepping the splicey splicey. If there's no movement by June I'll reconsider other options - I'm still holding out hope to get the footage, because it'd be SO much better with it!

TNA Lockdown: Our next episode! We're recording this next week, and will be out sometime in June. Destination X should hit YouTube this Saturday!

Sending stuff in the mail! I've run out of gold foil so I'm ordering more. It sucks to run out but I'm also real proud, lol. It's like crashing the website due to traffic :P Hopefully get them in this week or next and we’re back in business. If you haven’t received yours and you’re moving house please PM me or leave a note below!

Download episodes! I've updated the folder with the ECW story arc!

And personally:

After giving his 8-week notice (JAYSUS!) V1 is now free to work on OSW full-time!! We had steak in FXB's to celebrate!The plan is to help me with OSW episodes to get them out on a regular basis and also spearhead new videos - whatever he's passionate about (which makes for the best videos!) I'm gonna be teaching him how to video edit and we're looking into buying him a new editing rig. If that's something you know about please let me know! 

Found an apartment outside Dublin (not above a funeral parlour sadly, lol) so I can get better work done. Pulling teeth getting broadband out in the schticks -- it's so weird how useless your stuff is without an internet connection! Stuck using my shitty mobile data which could only load text so I gave up. Ever go 2 days without internet? I've never been disconnected from you guys more than an afternoon so there was some serious separation anxiety! Lol

I have turned full-on hipster getting a turntable! (clicky for video!)

Video of it in action! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4awg9dKvbsw 

The fucker's heavy! It's an AT LP120, the speakers are Mackie CR5s, and the record is the No Man's Sky soundtrack! That's by 65daysofstatic and I'd highly recommend listening to it! I got the CR5s because they have bluetooth, which is super handy for playing stuff through your phone! I hear it's not good to have the turntable and speakers on the same table so I need to find some kind of cabinet. I've never had a record player before, only used the one in the radio station (where I do Super OSW 64 ) a few times. Decided to get a few more after Chris sent me the Streets of Rage soundtrack record (video here!) :P I LOVE the massive artwork and tactile feel of vinyl but there's no way fidelity is better than wav/flacs, lol. Hilarious to hear crackles and pops of imperfections/dust on the record. ("Hey! It's that noise rappers put at the start of their songs!") Also the run time of a side is like 30 minutes, ha ha! Yes, sides; the No Man's Sky soundtrack comes on 3 sides (the 4th one just has etching and is unplayable). I love how the format promotes listening to the whole album rather than just shuffling through tracks. Something to listen to while sipping craft beer and re-reading the label after every sip!

Anywoo congrats if you've made it this far! Catch ya on the flippy!

That's my Saturday night sorted. Cheers lads. ; )

Nick Horacek

It's a 2 week notice in the states customarily to quit a job. I wonder if V1s coworkers had the same reaction that my friends would if I said "yeah I'm quitting to work on this online review show," Did he tell them you can take this job and re-staff it?

Anthony Jones

Glad to hear it's going well sir! And the turntable is fantastic. If you need help with sorting the editing rig (if someone hasn't already offered super fast!) let me know, I can offer a few pointers as it's what I do for a living.

Steve C

Sweet! I've never had my own record player either, I wasn't allowed to use my dad's so I'm not very comfortable using them. The radio station I worked at had one too but we were a talk station so I didn't have any excuse to use it. I'm glad you're still loving the Streets of Rage soundtrack, it's one of the best ever!

Ciarán McFarlane

Steve living the dream! Now he doesn't have to go outside as HoboV1 anymore.

Scott Elizabeth Baird

Nothing worse than no Internet. I'd rather have no running water in my house than have no Internet. I'd rather wash myself with a rag on a stick and suck moisture from the bathroom skirting boards, just so long as I can go on Facebook and check my emails.

Tyler Hatfield

So happy for you guys and looking forward to the film review.

Marijn

Dear noggers I'm very happy OSW is going in the right direction. Up and atom! I have confidence in you guys. Keep on trucking and don't burn yourself out. Also, where the fuck are the MGS reviews? V1 better get on that.

HairyKnacker

Brah- as long as you have the speakers on isolation platforms-which it looks as you do, same table is not problemo- bass reverb can cause the needle to jump if speakers are too boomy.

HairyKnacker

I have my turntable on an isolated plinth- cheapo granite chopping board from B&Q I think and it totally helps with the playing of most things- especially generic biddle music which is a must

Al

Jay now that V1 has stuck it to the man - if someone mentioned lets-plays, say 3 times in a row, would that be added to the "to do" list?

Kyle Forbes

I picked up the LPs of Streets of Rage 1, 2 and Shenmue. Tremendous stuff.

Kyle Forbes

Also, congrats on all the goodtimes.

Tiki B

So does this mean more Metal Gear reviews? Still waiting on MGS4! ;)

Stephen Wilson

cans of coke all round boys. congratulations on all your success!

Spenglobibble

Funny how the only redeeming thing to hear about No Man's Sky is it's music, and I'm STOKED to hear there's a new movie review out soon
