I just cut together the promo for the new series of ‘Rivitin’ History’ by Pat Meehan. Starting Friday 15th May at 18.00 we’ll be playing the original 2 episodes over the next two Fridays followed by 2 new episodes on the subsequent Fridays.

In Rivitin’ History you’ll meet ‘Marrion Monroe’ and ‘Duck the Bullets’ as they are taken in by Professor Henri DuFornicate’s ability to travel back through time to ancient Ireland.

This series is made with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland Sound and Vision scheme.

I recently got things set up at home so that I can capture footage off some of my older consoles like the Famicom here. So I did a little ‘Let’s Play’ video of Treasure Island Dizzy, a game I mostly remember from playing on the C64 and the Amiga as a kid. The NES version seems a lot closer to the Amiga version. Both being considerably easier than the C64 version.

Last Sunday we booked a big block of studio time and I recorded the latest Near Drama Company production ‘Rivitin’ History’

Now I’ve got to start on post production  and get all the sound effects added in. We should be ready for broadcast in March.

This is a follow up to two previous episodes that were produced about 2 years ago.

It’s a Irish time travel comedy written by Pat Meehan who was one of the writers behind The Shamrogues series of childrens books back in the 80s.

I had a few friends over for a retro video game party last weekend and we decided to livestream some games.

Unfortunately we’re still working out a way to stream older systems, but fortunately the Wii U is backwards compatible and has a HDMI video output which is easy for us to stream. We played a game called ‘Escape From Bug Island’ from 2006 which we had a lot of fun with. There’s some amazing dialogue in this game.
