Poll - What's a fair price for a game?

Here's the 3rd and final part of the Osborne series.  I hope I did it justice on showing how it worked and what you could do with one.  I could have probably made the episode twice as long a...

Korg Poly 800

So my first true 1080p video ended up being 8-Bit Keys, however, I still haven't had time to re-do the intro for high-def.  I'm currently working on a brand new intro sequence for both channels. ...

Equipment upgrade video

This video was an experiment... like a trial run.  Good thing I made it too, because I already found several issues.  The one thing I couldn't fix in post was the slightly out-of-focus video...

Character LCDs - Part 2
