ROUND-UP: FROM THE PEN OF MR BIFFO

26/9/2015

We've had a few lovely emails of late saying that Digi2000 is going through something of a golden period. 

If this is true, then it's likely to be a combination of me having less work on in the day job - thus being able to concentrate on making the site as good as I possibly can - and really, really, really enjoying doing it. I've honestly missed Digi so much, and it feels like this new version has finally clicked into place. A massive thank you to everyone who has supported it this past year, when I was, in all honesty, struggling to fit it in.


It's a genuine privilege to be able to do something that people seem to love, and to have people take the time to express that - and I'll never take it for granted in the way I might once have done.

STRESS
I know we stress this regularly, but Digi2000 hitting its stride is why your donations and support are so important. If you don't wish to become one of our sponsors, we now have very affordable t-shirts for sale (they're going fast - £12 plus P&P, and every order gets a free Mr T sticker while stocks last). If we can shift the current order stock, and turn a profit, we'll be doing further designs (plus other merch) in time for Christmas.

Importantly, it'll help this site keep going. Currently, almost everything we're making is being ploughed back into operating costs (setting up the shop and ordering the shirts alone cost around a grand, plus we buy all our own review copies - and currently, I don't have any other ongoing income). One day, I hope, we won't have to come to you for hand-outs.

If you can't afford to contribute, or object to doing so - which, as I always say, in completely fine - what's just as important is your help in spreading the word, sharing articles on Twitter, Facebook... wherever thou doth frequent. And it'd be great if you could subscribe to our YouTube Channel and share stuff from that too - it's starting to find its feet now, I think. It can only get better still.


Far be it to parp my own harp, but the list of features and videos below is just from the last fortnight, and pretty impressive. If you don't think such content is worth anything - be it your time or kind donations (PayPal or Patreon both warmly received) - then, well, it seems a bit strange that you'd be reading this far. Simon...?

Look now - just bloody look at this lot... Frankly, it's ridiculous:

Finally... a gentle reminder that I'm going to be at the Play Expo in Manchester on Saturday October 10th, doing a chat on stage with the chaps from Retro Gamer, at 1pm. Tickets are available here. I'll be handing out some free Digitiser2000 gifts to anybody who comes along and says hello (at least, until the gifts run out)...

I think that you're sorely underestimating just how much in operating costs you can cover through providing blowjobs down at the docks. Sailors are loaded, man. And helping them unload is a proud, noble and profitable, tradition. The things we do for love ...

It's really more of a calling than a business venture for me.

I contribute every single month and you didn't even spell my name right on the special thanks page :(

Oh gawd. I'll fix that now. What's the correct spelling Neil? Email at digitiser2000@gmail.com if you want.

Kirby. You've got me down as Kirkby (a small town in Merseyside) and gave me the nickname Kirkbygoesbananas.

I thought it might have been an ingenious ploy to make me actually go bananas. "How ironic..." etc etc.

Neil - you now stand proud and corrected.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that this whole topic reminds us of Luigi's Mansion on the GameCube. Being the younger sibling I was already used to the character and a game where you wander around a house sucking ghosts up your vacuum cleaner was a real breath of fresh air.
My theory, newly formed, is that Luigi was trying to find the ghost of his father and thereby impressing his dominant older brother.
If only he'd been aware of the fact that,
"The toast is a ghost and your daddy is in the toast"
Sad times.

Honestly Biffles? This return of Digi has been bloody marvelous. What's great is that it remains absolutely unique even in the face of the internet age, which says a lot. Gonna be chucking a donation in come payday, buying a couple t-shirts and getting that fucking joke book. Just keep it going, more and more people are beginning to love it.

Ah, thanks, Cheesey, for the nice words. Hopefully it'll continue to grow.
