Buck Rogers - Response from the Sinclair ZX Spectrum

[plan7a]

:D - ah no other computer but the ZX allowed you to sit through a loading of almost half an hour (okay, it seemed as long as that) only to have the hardware reset back to the beginning again, I kinda miss that, only kinda mind you, it was most frustrating but I never threw anything in temper as I could always rewind the tape and try again. Lol.

[MrCassavius]

that was a funny and witty video, thanks mate. Ive just recently started watching your videos and Im quite impressed, keep up the good work!

[thevisualboy37]

Well... this unintentionally introduced me to niceandgames. Thank you!

[InsideOutAnus]

You have no idea how hard this is to watch after drinking about 15 shots of whiskey.

[arioch2004]

Long live the ZX Spectrum 48k :D

[paulpetroleum]

@phreakindee inbox me your address, I'll send you one out :)

[paulpetroleum]

The Spectrum COULD speak....search Currah Microspeech...it was an expansion pack that went in the back of the lil thing.. :)

[phreakindee]

@paulpetroleum I am well aware, and I never said it couldn't. You'll note the Spectrum stated it didn't have a speech synthesizer installed, not that one didn't exist at all :)

[paulpetroleum]

@phreakindee I knew you would be your a spod like me..... ;)

If you'd like a Currah Microspeech btw I'll send you one, although you probably have one on the way. ...p.s great review :)

[blackblob500]

@phreakindee And can the specey play MW3 Noooooooooooooo

[blackblob500]

Rubbery Key are good specy but 

[blackblob500]

@blackblob500 ouY kcuS

[RasputinReview]

Who gave the Spectrum the personality of Sir Clive Sinclair

[Unlimited1Ups]

"And your will never know you died

because you died in your sleep"

Awesome vid!

[smelehani001]

We're is your sims 3 pets review?!?!?! I check online every 20 min. For it

[OldSchoolNYCGamer]

Sad to say that the Spectrum owns TI, and is the final word cause Clive Sinclair says so!

[VintageRKO]

good job as always.. cant wait for your Sims 3 pets review!

[smelehani001]

How do you pronounce your YOUTUBE NAME is it pronounced -pea-ra-kin-deee

[phreakindee]

@smelehani001 Just how it's spelled... phreak-in-dee (with the typical ph being pronounced as an f)

[Gmoooba]

Link to the Blood'n'Guts-game I mentioned earlier: lemon64 dot com/games/details dot php?ID=304

Just add the usual in the beginning and replace the word 'dot' with actual dots (and of course remove the spaces around that word) in two places.

[Gmoooba]

By the way, did you ever play the C64 game "Blood'n'Guts"? That would be a perfect gamevideo-review-material.. and probably to your liking in style.

[phreakindee]

@Gmoooba I actually have a disk of it for my C64, yes! It's pretty much awesome, I've wanted to review it for a while. I just have no idea when, or if, I'll get around to it.

[Gmoooba]

@phreakindee I see - I am glad you know it, should have known you would. You have probably hundreds (thousands?) of similar "want to review"-titles. Anything you review is of course good. Just in the remote case you didn't know about that game, I wanted to bring it into your attention. Must be hard to choose what to review next.. do you have a process for it or is it based on mood - or just mostly random? Or do you have a complete list sorted by priority?

[phreakindee]

@Gmoooba It's kind of sorted by priority, but it really does come down to whatever "feels" right that week. Also, games that are seldom, or never, reviewed by others will get priority. And it also depends how much free time I have, as bigger games or hardware reviews take far longer.

[Gmoooba]

@phreakindee Makes sense. Well, whatever the next one may be, I am looking forward to it.. (:

[HighTreason610]

Your speech synthesis sounds like it was made by a guy from liverpool. Oh, btw, I got a ZX Spectrum+ yesterday... Only because it was free, because Commodore 64 PWNS! I also got an Atari ST520.

[PseudoAutoVG]

Haha omg this was amazing. Hilarious and I loved the voice synthesizer. Favoriting this one for sure.

[extralargetuna]

buck roguuuuhhrs.

[potatoegirl31]

BLOODY HELL! Wicked! what speech synthesizer did you use? I used to do that with my TI-99 speech synthesizer (though I think this speech came from the Spectrum) ...make it talk in different accents, I especially liked to do Southern and BRITISH! you just gotta know how to spell out accents phonetically! "Oi did nawt bloody knaew theht, mayte Gor bloi-mey"

[phreakindee]

@potatoegirl31 Since I don't have a speech synthesizer for my Spectrum, I had that little bit in there about it being able to take over other computers' sound cards, to "explain" how it was speaking! I just used a text-to-speech site called Festvox.

[Donovanmetallicafan]

@phreakindee Are you going to be reviewing skyrim?

[mistamontiel]

J0LLY 0L BL0KE L0LLLL

You fucking wanker ! TALLYH0 !! Cheeeeeeeeeersio

[TeamRocketReviews]

So you have a TI-99? You should review it someday.

[Clearstarsummer]

did you reverse the playback to get that cable into the slot?

[Quimbyrbg]

I was going to ask why the Speccy had an English/Scottish accent, but then I realised that it is an English machine... duh.

[klominator]

All our base are belong to you!

[TeamRocketReviews]

Actually, the 128K ZX Spectrum is the most powerful computer in the universe.

[TeamRocketReviews]

Oh my god, Stephen Hawking has taken over the ZX Spectrum.

[quaxk]

the spectrum sound oddly irish

[Kozakczuk]

Hehehe, great vid!

[romulus310]

You can lick my expansion port" Best f*cking sentence in the universe.

[SpeedySPCFan]

I will not choose death... I WILL CHOOSE SPECTRUM!

[R33Racer]

What a great northern British accent, love it!

[pubesz]

"...48K ZX Spectrum, the most powerful computer in the ,,, universe." <== Pure Win!

[PCGamer77]

Also, the "T" in TI is pronounced "tee," but the "Z" in ZX Spectrum is pronounced "zed." Ergo, we see that the Speccy is clearly the superior gaming platform. Give it up and go back to hawking your ridiculous graphing calculators, TI!

[matawin2]

0:37 haha!

[TheManidunno]

what 8 people disliked this?? apparently they're afriad of getting killed by spectrum in their sleep

[P5ychoFox]

Sounds like a geordie twang to me, especially on the word 'game' :)

[TheFrugalGamer]

DOG'S BOLLOCKS!

[thegamemuseum]

This is hilarious, mainly because i love nice and games videos, and i always see your comments on nice and games videos! Hilarious i say!

[pHr33kAcHu]

Is the Speccy actually scaling it's sprites, or is it switching between redrawn sprites?

[RJTamm93]

...nou

[thadbaxter]

your videos are amazing

[DoctorKarnage]

God, I love your sense of humor!

never change!

[lordwindowlicker]

I miss my TI-99/4A

[Borin81]

COMMODORE!!!!!!! >:U

[Gamewitzer]

I like how it even has some sort of british accent.

[Holammer]

@Gamewitzer I thought there was a hint of Irish innit.

[Gamewitzer]

@Holammer Nah, the Spectrum is a true british patriot.

[SteveBenway]

I love the accent on that thing :D

[o0MrCheesy0o]

If I never sleep he'll never get me!

[CrazySandtrooper]

All hail the Sinclair!

[serginietor]

You now nothing, you evil twats!!

The all-mighty Vectrex is ruling the universe. The Spectrum and TI are mere muppets, following the orders of the Vectrex light-pen.

All hail the Vectrex!

[MAT0R0]

My ears are buzzing after hearing that.

[MultiInsaniac]

And then Steve Jobs walks in "Nope!"

[Highretrogamelord89]

The C64 should have taken over phreakindee's channel instead...

[kinmanyuen]

omg british takeover

[Fawltykog]

Are you taking the piss rinkeedink?

Be warned, do not mock the power & majesty of the ZX Spectrum (Greatest Computer Ever) dire outcomes attend those that do.

10 PRINT "FAWLTYKOG"

20 GOTO 10

RUN

[tudythegangster]

Wtf...

[CaptainRufus]

Spectrum inferior, Commodore 64 superior.

[khisanth75]

Computer with a northern accent. By eck that's grand!

[Amaranthus616]

sounds like hes from up north when he says game. but yeah funny stuff

[MitchZer0II]

But which can run Crysis the best?

[CaptainRufus]

@MitchZer0II Both can render about 1 frame a week.  In low res.

[BrianPicchi]

48K of pure harmonic bliss.

[nuckable]

I lol'd

[niceandgames]

lmao Holy crap, this is hilarious. I love this video! Even TI said he admired it. Although I did catch him sharpening his knife, muttering something about getting the ZX...he kept emphasizing the "zee"...saying not only did Texas make the greatest computer of all time, they also produced the greatest rock band ever, and it ain't Zed Zed Top. He's taking a nap now, though, so I think we are all safe.

I seriously love this video!

[phreakindee]

@niceandgames Awesome, I'm happy to hear of your approval. This was lots of fun to make, and I had great inspiration material!

I feel I need to share that the Spectrum also stated he had respect for both the TI and his delusions of grandeur, but that he was still a "something-something-wanker". He'd also like to pass along to TI that he trained in the Royal Marines, and knives don't scare him so bring it on :)

[30LayersOfKevlar]

I, for one, welcome our new Spectrum overlord.

[noseriouslyguys]

i will never sleep again o-o

[ACA332]

You have a fucked up sense of humor. It's awesome!

[vwestlife]

Colour clash, yay!

[BlueEyesFTW1]

I knew it was that powerful... I just knew it!
