It didn't get worse, more people just whined about it that it excluded women and blah blah blah 😂 the kind of women who were part of it are excluded from the modern nonsense culture but that's fine 😂
Used to watch GamesMaster and Bad Influence and I enjoyed those days. My only gripe with GamesMaster was since I was an Amiga owner and never owned a Mega Drive or SNES it kinda felt like it got snubbed quite often even in the early days of the magazine.
Just tried PCBWay for the first time a couple weeks ago. Shapeways has shuttered, which used to be my go-to for fabrication. I needed to 3D-print some little mounts to hold an acrylic sheet with the aircon exhaust tube where a window screen goes, and a two-part exhaust air funnel for a Pentium Pro with a passive heatsink, so it could use the case's rear fan for the job instead of trying to find a Socket 8 HSF. The nylon prints turned out great, and cost wasn't bad -- in fact, half of it was shipping, which... well, what can ya do. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Certainly helped relieve the panic of not having a fabricator anymore.
Wordstar / Wordperfect : I'm 46 years old and I've never used either of them. I learned to type on MacWrite, went on to GEOS on my C64, then to ProWrite on the Amiga, finally to Word 95 on Windows 95. Wordstar and WP were for DOS-heads
Thank you guys very much for introducing me to the RoseTintedSpectrum channel ! ..been laughing for hours now. Great stuff (if you enjoy a healthy dose of sarcasm) ! And yes, i was around for that time period. Over here in germany the ''computer shows'' were equally awkward and totally not completely industry financed... Everyone ''gaming'' at the time rolled their eyes at the lame TV attempts to show stuff you can't _really_ show.
I was too mature for Gamesmaster and Bad Influence, I used to watch Bits! But my first memories of TV shows with people playing computer games were, Get Fresh, which did this bit each week with Starglider, and a kids' game show called First Class, which had rounds where people played Paperboy, and Atari 720°
Bits was distracting, at times. I recall an attempt to focus on a snooker game review, when Bouff interjected, "should I pot the pink or double kiss the brown"? It was too much for my adolescent mind.
ISA I pronounce the way RTS did. I have vague memories of using an 80 column word processor on the C64 and a 64 column word processor on a Spectrum. The next I used was Protext on Amiga (use escape codes for formatting) then Wordsworth, the first WSIWYG word processor I saw. I used Word 6 once for a presentation and once I got my own PC I tried the included Works, hated it so got a dodgy copy of M$ Office. These days it's either Libre Office or Google Docs. M$ was left in my dust trail in 2006 when I made the switch to Linux 😉
I don't know what the first time I saw a video game on TV was. probably just a commercial for a random game. or a game being used as a movie background prop maybe it was a news segment warning about video games addiction. I don't remember any gaming TV show in my region until 2003. but maybe there was one but I forgot about it. I do remember one of those game shows were you had a green screen and an obstacle course with some video game like graphics you know what I mean. there were a lot of shows like that in the 90s
I went to see Games master live with a girlfriend, must have been 1993 / 4ish, blimey. Fab industrial looking set. I thought it would impress her lol. Eeeep she was bored lol. I was an enthusiastic gamer, she was not. I had a 486 DX2 66 PC at the time which played Doom ok. Played a lot better at University though.
The Alone in the Dark remaster that Dave mentioned had me intrigued but checking the TWIR reddit the youtube video has been removed. I think I've found what this is though if anybody is interested. There's Alone in the Dark Remastered by TatouTeam on itchDOTio website. v1.0 released 1st August. Download is 555MB Windows version. It's free but you can donate as well. I haven't tried it yet so no idea what it's like. From what I can tell it's using Unity.
Paul gannon made an appearance and he is a member of cheapshow the economy comedy podcast, , if you know ashens then your part way there or mabe even know who im referencing
The Kia Picanto GT has a 3 cylinder turbo engine and an awesome little pocket rocket. My son Luke has one. Oh also... Yeah I met Neil. 😁
good to see waldo and statler out and about (about 5 mins in)
Loved Dave's cyborg monocle! :)
What a lovely episode! Well done Rosie!
I do miss the "lads lads lads" culture of the 90s. It got worse in the 2000s though.

Gamesmaster is slowly reappearing everywhere , so glad its getting a newer audience after all these years , rose is a legend 😊

WOW 178k views! I really hope this is the start of Rosie's channel blowing up ❤❤❤

Information Superhighway! 😎
I loved watching those Bad Influence videos, very funny!
Good to hear!

I think younger people probably don't even know what kids Saturday morning TV was 😅😊
Yeah, that is a shame IMHO. - Dunc
Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, that is all 😌

As a kid growing up in the UK, I had a speccy 48k, then c64 and then Amiga 600. I'm a software engineer these days. It made me who I am lol
I watched that gamesmaster youtube vid - never expected to finish it all but I kept watching. Last time I watched it was in a school blazer

From the title I thought i was going to see Dominik Diamond as the guest host
Nothing better to start the day than delicious disappointment
😂
I'd like to see Cyberpunk 2077 on a CRT, Dave. I think that would look stunning, colour wise.
AFAIK, the original Doom game had a built-in frame cap at 35fps.

There is no "Z" In "ISA" 😛
I was literally furiously typing, "did Dave mean Blondie the band owned the print, or did he mean Debbie Harry", but thankfully, Rosie put him right 😂
Furious!
@@ThisWeekinRetro absolutely 🤣
The super Nintendo is also referred to here in the US as the SNES
In the UK we have many wild foxes.
Now you share another one 😂
True, but I don't remember anyone from my childhood referring to them as "Nezz" and "Snezz". It was always "N-E-S" and "S-N-E-S".

The games mistress
What is Rosie's real name
David
Would he prefer that to Rosie?
The greatest era of gaming was the late 70’s through late 80’s. You had to have been there to experience it.
Doom never interested me. I kept playing Wolfenstein 3D until Quake came out with true 3D.
