    Some cussing abounds but it seem to be justified. ;)

    - Honourable mention to Poindexter Fortran.
    - Vk3jed gets a jab in one of the videos.

    The audio quality of the earlier vids is a bit over saturated (he speaks
    too close to the mic), but there is modest improvement in the more recent ones.

    Hilarious! I can only take watching about two of them at one
    sitting, but am working through all of them. Hahahahahahaha

    I've watched all these and have to say I am extremely amused by them and
    find myself not being able to wait until the next bbs review type video sort
    of thing.

    I have no idea who "Cheese Burger" is, but whoever they are, kudos to you -
    I'm thoroughly enjoying each and every episode.

    Keep em coming.

    I haven't seen them all yet, but most of them from oldest to newest. I
    think I am just missing 3 of them. (And by missing, I mean that I prefer
    to download them as files to watch them later on TV in the comfort of my hospital bed.)

    But he has couple of sentences about you in one of the vids. It's all
    good. :)

    Heheh. When I wrote "honourable mention", I knew that would make you
    wonder what that means. In any case, maybe you're on the list to come.

    According to what he said, you may have a good idea who this guy is.

    I am unable to check the YT page now (I have been reduced to under 100Kbps
    on my "unlimited" mobile plan until May 3 - so standard browsing is
    totally impractical), but what is the time diff between one video to the next?

    There's a new one posted yesterday, Apr 25, which I haven't seen yet.

    I wonder if there is *any* bbs out there that would impress him. Even Vertreuen (based on Synchronet) fell short of his expectations because he said all the Synchro boards looked the same.

    He's looking for a system that looks unique, offers lots of things to do,
    and games he's never played.

    Good or bad, impressive or not, the commentary is entertaining.

    The latest two are very short.

    Now, I'M starting to pronounce the words like he does:

    "system" as "sigh-stem", and
    "bbs" as "bah bah saw", and
    "wwiv" as "woo woo wooov"

    ..and few others.

    and find myself not being able to wait until the next bbs review type
    video sort of thing.

    He seems to be cranking one out every couple days now.

    I like the subtle fun he makes of some of the bbs names when has them
    listed in his SyncTerm:

    Eg: Hysteria = Hysterectomy

    The last WWIV system was so pathetic; nothing worked!

    The commentary on the "ugly" Amiga one that was running on a cassette was funny.


    I have no idea who "Cheese Burger" is, but whoever they are, kudos to
    you -I'm thoroughly enjoying each and every episode.

    The commentary is genuine. He's yearning to find a system that will wow
    and entertain him. But I too am surprised at the poor ones he has sofar discovered.

    HAR!!! Yeah I may be starting to do that too... LOL

    I honestly can't tell if he's purposely talking like that, or it
    really is how he pronounces things. Whichever it is, it never
    fails to make me belly-laugh... It's kind of .... addicting in a
    strange sort of way. Great stuff!

    I mess around with exagerated pronunciations like that with a few words
    too, to mess with people's minds.

    For example, instead of the english pronunciation of controversy, I would adjust the emphasis on different syllables to sound more like the british version.

    controversy = con TRO vesee

    emphasis = em PHA sis

    syllable = si LA ble.

    And now Cheese Burger has given me new words.

    Hey Netsurge,

    Have you seen your Diskshop "BBS kind of review type sort of thing" by
    Cheese Burger?

    Any BBS he could pronounce? Hearing him butchering "Vertrauen" repeatedly
    was painful.

    Hey Netsurge,

    Have you seen your Diskshop "BBS kind of review type sort of thing" by Cheese Burger?

    Yes I have. He is also a regular caller to the Diskshop now and usually posts in SciNet about new videos.
