IT'S AN ACTOR'S LIFE FOR ME

Morning, y’all.

Not sure if the Wednesday upload experiment worked, given that we moved from Fridays to avoid clashing with Cheapshow… and then Cheapshow uploaded a new video last night. GAH! There’s no escape. It’s a bloody minefield.

Thursdays it is, I think, from now on.

Anyhow, please go leave a comment and a hype if you haven’t already. We’re currently at number 22 in the UK hype leaderboard, and it really helped with the ghost hunting vid. Given we’re mixed in among videos with far higher views, it’s testament to how brilliantly supportive you lot are. Hopefully the new vid will pick up some momentum.

Also… here are a couple of funny bits of, uh, kind of news.

So, I signed up to the Patreon for the newish podcast by Marillion’s keyboard player Mark Kelly… and promptly got a message from him saying he’d been listening to BYAMPOD. Obviously, on one level this is lovely… and on another level both Sanja and I almost cringed ourselves inside out. Still, it does add some weight to the theory that it was no coincidence he changed his podcast’s theme tune the week after we (well.. I...) called the original one boring!

Anyway. While we were in Southend, I got an email from a video games marketing firm which made me laugh out loud.

There’s a new remaster of R-Type: Delta coming out soon – originally released on the PlayStation – and they asked if I’d be up for appearing in a promo for it… playing the role of “middle aged man”. It was so unexpected and ridiculous that I said yes. You only live once and all that. So, I’ll be filming that in a couple of weeks, and I guess I’m an act-or now, daaarling. They even sent me some concept art, which showed me screaming in bed surrounded by old games. Hopefully it’ll make sense on the day.  

Just a reminder that we're doing our quiz night on Sunday. We'll send a link on Sunday during the day. Also, we're recording a bunch of podcasts today, so expect BYAMPOD, Bubblegun Extra and Writer's Club imminently. Speak anon.
