[upbeat jazz music]
Hello everyone, I hope you're having a splendid Christmas. Over the past 2 months, I've been
sent this load of packages, donations and I've put them in front of the Christmas tree
so we can do - sort of - a festive unboxing session!
Because, that's what Christmas is about, isn't it? Materialism... let's... begin...
I'm just looking at you now because you're frowning.
Octav1us: Yeah, it's because there's a flapjack. Well, you can't just start frowning!
Octav1us: Well, I'm sorry [starts laughing] I didn't kno...
[awkward silence]
Octav1us is here to help me, mainly because she gets incredibly excited about these things,
and also because she lives in a cupboard down there, so I thought it would be best to bring
her in. So what shall we start? Shall we start with this?
Yeah sure, oh thank you for letting me out of the cupboard by the way. I really appreciate
it.
You're welcome. It's Christmas.
LOOK AT THIS!
Awwww Look at this!
That's cute. Look at that.
It's really cute.
This is ummm, this is from Numskull designs and they sent it to me.
Is Puggle?
DOG.
Sent it about a month ago.
Look at you.
CHRISTMAS TIME.
Shut up.
[laughter]
This one?
Oooooh, who's that from?
John Glan. John Glanville. John Glanville.
Thanks John.
Ooooh, yes I remember this. Sega XS, oh and a Sega Power from May 1994 and from... there's
no date on this one.
We've got a letter as well, it says;
Dear Nostalgia Nerd. I have no use for these two old Sega magazines any more, so I thought
I'd give them to somebody to can make more use of them, aka... YOU. Big fan of Youtube
channel. I'm getting a copy of your book for Christmas.
Good! I hope you enjoy it.
Awwwhhh, Revenge of the Ninja (what's that?).. .for the Mega CD!
Wow, look at these q u a l i t y screenshots.
OK, we'll look at these later. Next one.
Errm. This one.
I know what this is. Is that from Horsenburger? This IS from Horsenburger
YEAHHSS
It will be amazing.
This is one I actually ordered, so..
Horsenburger if you are not aware, is an amazing Teletext artist. Isn't he?
Yes.
This is an A0 sized poster of many, many Teletext pieces of art. LOOK AT THAT!
That is very good actually. Are these all the ones that he drew across a year? Because
he was, he was drawing one every day wasn't he?
I don't know if it's from the last year, but. LOOK, there's Horace there. That's the kind
of thing I could spend just hours staring at.
So exciting.
Ahhh, this is from. Retro Bench, thank you for your purchase.
They have sent me a cap kit for my Amiga 1200, which I got the other day. Oooooh, so cappy.
Ooooh.
What's in there?
A mouse mat.
Oh, this is from @Bhaal_Spawn.
This is also another one I bought. THIS is a Monkey Island mouse mat.
Ohhhh, it's pretty awesome isn't it?
@Bhaal_Spawn, she's that amazing artist, isn't she?
Yes.
Time to sip some tea
[Sound of car driving past]
What do you think you're doing, opening my post?!
I'm just being useful.
Awww. LOOK AT THAT! It's a Special Reserve catalogue!
WHAT is that?
That is a Special Reserve catalogue. Do you not remember Special Reserve?
No I don't.
Special Reserve was in all like PC magazines, and stuff like that.
This. Look at this.
Look at this.
It's a whole panflet about Special Reserve stuff. We've also got a note.
"Hey Peter. As promised, here is the Special Reserve catalogue from 1994. Could you believe
a 3DO joypad would set you back £37.99? I can't."
That was from Ross @THEXBOXVISION
Thanks Ross!
This one.
[russles]
Feels quite heavy.
OWWW. F*CK!
Are you alright?
Yeaaah [laughs]
Do you know how to use scissors?
Yes!!
Yes, I know how to use scissors, thank you.
But, that's not how you use them.
Yes, it is how you use them.
That is how you use scissors.
Do you want to open that?
Yeah, I'll open that, that's probably for the best.
[new jazz music starts]
Ahhhh, yes, I've been sent this, by, I presume the people who made it.
This is a Tivoo pixel art bluetooth speaker, and you can display like all sorts of different
pixel art on there. So I'll be reviewing that at some point in the future.
Good. Exciting. I look forward to it.
This one's got a very snazzy box. Yeah it used to be a box of toiletries I believe.
Maybe it still is...
This is, I don't understand why this isn't of an adequate speed for you. Look, look,
look
No I just. I'm trying to get the friggin'
You can just, do that, and do that and look look, lightning!
Oh sh*t [laughter]
So here we have. Oh this is like an old Woolworths bag, from like when. This must have been one
of the last ones before The Simpsons movie came out.
That is pretty cool.
Awww, yes! Yes. Look at these. Original Click videos. Do you remember Click?
No.
It was like a computer programme, gaming programme, and these are the original episodes on VHS.
Look at that, December 1991.
What's this? This is Space Wars by Tobias J Richter. Space Wars? What's Space Wars?
[rips open]
Look at you, straight in there!
What?! I'm not messing around!
Oh this is from the Sega shop!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhh.
Ahhhhh, the Sega Shop have sent me a Christmas jumper with Tails on, that's pretty cool,
and, look at these pins, as well.
Sonic, Shadow and that's Dr. Robotnik. NOT Eggman.
Don't slit your hand open. I'm not going to slit my hand open.
You're gonna slit your hand open.
What? I'm scared to open this. What is that? [laughs]
I'm slightly concerned. I mean, unless this is just your sex toy order coming through?
Oh sh*t!
[giggles]
[SCREAMS]
It's a load of CDs. Oh Cool! What CDs have we got?
Errr, PC Zone, all old coverdisks. Ahhh, look we've got all these DVDs as well.
This is an excellent CD holder, that the person who sent this has done. This is brilliant.
This is from 2001, 1999, we've got 1993. The 2003 collector's edition DVD. That's pretty
cool.
Next.
This one is from Australia.
AHHHHHHHHH.
Jesus Christ! It's fine.
Ooooh.
This is a sleeping bag of bubble wrap.
Ohhaww, look at that! Just get in it!
I need that for my cupboard.
I need that. I need to sleep in it.
I feel so safe now.
You've got Sports Driving. Oh yes, I remember. This is like hygienically sealed.
Oh because it's in mint condition. Oh yes.
The letter says;
"Here is 4D Sports Driving Stunts for the Amiga as promised, I hope it works as I never
had a chance to test it. I look forward to your review. Mark Ceccato"
This is like Hard Drivin' isn't it? It's like a Hard Drivin' rip off.
It looks pretty. Look at THAT stunt. Look at it!
It looks pretty good.
This one. Is this from Darren?
It's from King Monkey.
You know, you could really do with some sharper scissors to open things with.
Yeah, well, if I did that you'd have sliced your finger off by now. NO.
Are these your children's scissors?
Maybe.
He's sent me a box of GRENADE bars!
Any particular reason?
Because they're NOT Grenade bars!
This is, oh this is like a PC backup drive.
"Thought you might like this for Christmas. This T3 Xmas '96 Booklet, you can circle what
you want to see"
Ahh, look! A T3 Christmas gadget book!
Oh look at that! Motorola, Fuji disposable camera! A toaster! Voice changer phone!?
[same time] That's creepy as hell / That's amazing, I want one.
I'd phone people up and be like.... "Hello"
"hope the tape drive works, looking forward to the video"
This is like a backup tape drive for PC and he's got his original cartridge here with
Actua Soccer, Lemmings 3D, Rise of the Triad. Nice.
Thank you King Monkey.
This one's from Greece.
Cool.
All the stamps! So stampy!
Mental!
Shall I go get another cup of tea whilst you're opening this? NO, Shut! There's a lot of tape
on there. Right you're being cheeky.
[grunts]
[strain sounds]
It's fine.
You are literally so close to cutting your finger off every time you open a box.
I am not.
I am fine.
I am not going to hurt myself. I'm a grown woman.
F*ck it.
[drops on floor]
This is a PC-Midi... card... ahhh, ok cool. Cool, cool, cool. I think I know what this
is. This is to test a wavetable board, which is probably in here as well.
Oooooh, this one is for ME!
Ohh, I can, I'll open your one.
I get to open your one, as you're opening all mine.
I know this is probably from Matthew, who is one of my first ever fans. When I had 50
subscribers, he recognised me at a Play Expo.
That's quite impressive with just 50 subscribers.
Yeah, it was awesome.
You got two, what, how come you've got two cards and I haven't got any?
Ha ha ha ha haaa
It's actually a proper present, look!
You should probably keep that.
Noooa.
Oh, it's because I've got a new home card.
Ohhh. Awww, thank you so much Matthew.
PRESENT.
Yayyyy.
Ohhh, it's one of those.
Oh is that from that fella? Yeahh, absolutely beautiful. This is from 8 bit boutique, who
are, well, who is just one bloke and does these amazing pieces, so thank you so much
Matthew.
That's lovely.
I'm getting him to make me a Chase H.Q. one. Oh really?
Yep, because I think that will be tremendous, and it will go nicely on the wall as well.
Right, that's.
That's not, that's not yours.
No. It's. Peter.
Just temporarily. I'll put it up here.
No. Peter.
Right, get all this crap outta the way.
Right, this one is kinda flappy.
I wonder if it's a umm [laughs]
WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION! [laughs]
Oh my god.
Licence number not working, but still sealed.
"From my parent's defunct ifriend laptop. I tried replacing the motherboard battery, but the
laptop had been riveted together." Jesus Christ.
Ahh, Shareware CD!
From Alan Longsdale.
"To Mr. Nerd, congrats on your Youtube success." Good use of Tip-ex here, I haven't seen Tip-Ex
in a long while. What is it he put, that he had before?
Youtube DISGRACE.
Yeah, Youtube FAILURE.
[laughs]
Xanthein. Alan Longsdale.
Well thank you Alan. Xanthein.
There's nothing quite like a sealed Operating System.
You're a sealed Operating System.
Ahhhh, MORE CD ZONE!
Look at these, these are from the early 90s aren't they? Or late, mid 90s. MID 90s. Look
at all the software. Jedi Knight, Dungeon Keeper, Hexen II, Croc, Legend of the Gobbos.
Mine.
Haven't you got enough demo discs now.
NO, you can never have enough demo discs.
[marding sounds]
Oh I see. It's fine.
[ripping sound]
What are you doing woman?!?
Look at the. What are you doing to this place?!
Oh, it's that Gremlin in the Works book.
This is from Bitmap Books. They send they would send me a book to review. A couple of
books to review.
This isn't actually the one I asked for though.
Oh is it not?
Ahhhhh, I asked for the Spectrum Illustrated and Super Nintendo illustrated, but still.
Do you not already have that one?
No I don't have this one. But this is. It is nice. Yeah, it looks very good. It looks
very substantial.
Umm. I'm really looking foward to their Master System one.
This is quite good isn't it?
[new jazz starts]
Ahhh, so this is, this is from Chris Wilkins. These are the latest Crash annual. 2019, calendar
and the latest Christmas edition of Fusion magazine.
and these annuals are always very good. A poster as well. Oh map, oh Sabre Wulf map!
So glossy.
So Christmasy.
It looks really nice.
So festive.
I mean, this must be something you ordered. I know what that is.
It's from Cybydyn Systems.
You need to be more careful.
[SCREAMS]
Look at what you've done to my desk. You've put a massive bloody scratch in my desk!
Right, I'm opening these from now on. Jesus Christ.
You owe me fifteen pounds for a new desk top.
[laughs]
You're such a liability to have on. What are you gonna do when you leave? Kick these lights
over? Knock a few computers down?
[continues to laugh]
Right, anyway, this is from Cybydyn, which isn't Cyberdyne Systems, it's similar. But
it is a Playstation Input/Output device. It's a Playstation SD card reader which will allow
you to play games on your original Playstation using SD cards. So I've got two of them to
make a video coming up soon.
Actually, don't. No, no, I'm not, no. I'll do it from now on. Jesus Christ.
So, what do I do?
Well, you just... FIX THIS DESK.
I, I can't.
Ahhh, this is something else I ordered. This is a Kickstarter campaign I backed, for one
of these, which is like, I can't remember what these are called, but it's basically
like a retro emulator.
You need to put a Raspberry Pi Zero in there, and then it's um.... it's nice. Yeah.
Can you maybe get a knife? Because the problem is...
I'm not giving you a bloody knife! Look what you did with a a pair of scissors!
Give me a knife because it's not really sharp enough to get in there.
[grunting]
YES.
It's a, a thing. Ahhhh, don't kill anyone, don't hurt anyone. So this is a Buran wavetable
card I think. So this can interface with the other card via. Midi I think, and then we
can listen to beautiful, beautiful sounds. Beautiful Midi sounds.
[more jazz]
This is from Mad Cat Studios.
It's fine.
There we go. See. No body died.
Oh, that is. Ohhhh, that looks adorable!
Creepy Brawlers.
Log Jammers
and we've got a Mega Drive game, Little Medusa.
That's pretty good. It's NOT yours. That means it's mine, if I touch it, it means it's mine.
No, these are not yours. This is MY finger. Anything that I touch like this, definitely,
it's the law.
it was [laughs]
God look, I'm gonna accidentally cut it so.
Ahh, these are the Atari ST books from the. Atari ST AND the Creative People. These look
pretty good. From MicroZeit Publishing.
"To Peter, here are your review copies, have a good read"
I will, thank you very much, and these will be in a future episode.
This is another one with a really exciting, bag.
It's Sega isn't it? Look look. Look, the Sega logo. Ok, yes. It's Sega.
Good, right can I open it. Is that ok?
Yeah, just look at the Sega logo.
"Ever dreamed of creating your own team of Sega characters from different games and eras?
Well this is your chance. Sega heroes launch globally on iOS and Android on Thursday the
15th of November"
Well, that's been and gone. Look at these pins, who have we got? Because they give you
all different pins don't they?
So we've got, is that, is that Blaze... I love Blaze. We've got Tie Guy, Big... Big,
that's an interesting one. We've got the, what's the woman from Golden Axe called? She's
called, lass from Golden Axe.
Lass from Golden Axe? Are you sure about that. Yes, 100%
Ohh, we've even got the Sega badge. Look at that.
This is the one I wanted!
Get off. This is a Russian system which runs DOS, and Famicom, No, look he's got his own
sticker.
Vokabre.com... Patreon.com/vokabre
But THESE are Russian systems. Ahhhh, see, Special. That's not very clicky.
That's not is it? It's like dead.
It's like, it's got no response. NONE, at all.
Ahh, he, he's drawn this himself. Ohhh look, isn't that lovely.
A+, an Akibarbara Arcade in Watercolour paper from voyages to Japan, special little painting
for Nostalgia Nerd, by Micael Vokabre.
Special little painting for Octav1us Kitten. That's awesome.
With cats in a comono? [laughs] Is that you? Just staring a that bow. Like THAT bow is
mine. I'm having that bow.
Oh, it's got a receipt in here as well. One thousand and ninety Rubles?
Merry Christmas Peter from Kevin, aka. Hoson Biggs. Where did this come from?
I dunno.
Awww, really happy Sarah has a friend like you in her life, looking out for her.
Yeahhhh, that's me.
GET THE F*CK OFF ME.
[strain sounds from Octav1us]
Oh, that's heavier than I thought it would be.
So this must have been from something else then? Yeah, I don't know. OK, we'll match
that up later in post edit. No one will notice anything.
[cutting sounds with dangerous knife]
WOAHHHHHHH. (both together)
[laughter]
HELLO.
[continued loud laughter]
Yeah, this is obviously a personal package, which I didn't mean to open.
Why? I like at how it was perfectly framed as well.
Why?
Why?
Right, we've got various cards here. Oh this is from Taz. This is from Taz. TazFae. The
motherboard. I'm a bit concerned about what's on these USB sticks after the intro.
So we've got memory sticks, we've got a motherboard, we've got a deadline, we've got Kick off 3,
we've got a Zip disk, various processors, we've got Pentium 4 processors here. We've
got a DVD drive, various cards, and various N.E.S. games which look like they've been
- not in a fire - but quite close to a fire. Maybe the house next door to where a house
burnt down. All these cards to go through as well. There's a TV card.
OK, OK. My battery is dying on my camera, so we will look at this later.
Numskull. More Numskull. This is err, the pack. The Presche pack. PRESCHE PACK.
Oh, you've got a little tiny one (ahem)
Look it's got little badges in, look. That's so cute.
It's a Quarter Arcade lanyard, but it's got a USB drive. I presume that's a USB drive,
I presume that pops out [snigger]
That's a USB stick. Great.
That's cool. Box of badges. Pins.
Right, next. That, yes, this is. This goes with that doesn't it?
Yes it does.
Oh right, ok.
[strange sound]
Did that box sound like it was speaking?
Wrralllllll
A small child is inside?
Are you my father?
No small child.
So this is the err, Numskull Pacman arcade cabinet. We'll put this aside for a second,
because I've done a video on this, but this has been fixed!
Since the previous one.
Right, what was wrong with the previous one?
Errr, the screen had different sized dots and wasn't scaled properly. They've fixed
all the problems and made it shinier, and this comes with the collector's coin, so we'll
look at that in a little bit.
[sings] I'm so excited [sings]
That's one of four that. Three of four.
SEVEN OF NINE (not really)
I don't know where two of four is.
Are these all from the same person?
These are more DVDs! Well this is three of four, but there's no two.
Well, we must have, we must have already opened it.
We opened it didn't we? It was the earlier one with the DVDs in.
You're NEVER going to be able to use all of these. Look at this! So many DVDs! It's ridiculous,
you can make a coffee table out of them.
DVD Zone, maybe that's what we can do? [laughs] Make a massive structure.
Ahhh, this is different.
So this is box one, yeah?
No.
This is just a box.
A separate box?
Yeah.
It's a separate box.
I think this is from the chap I met, the, the, the little. The kid I met at PlayExpo
in Manchester, in Blackpool, Manchester? LONDON!
Yeah, London. This is, I think this is from him. Look a Playstation. Ahhh, look, so smol!
Little squishies!
So tine!
Look!
Waca waca waca. No, wait, it's the other way round.
Oh god it is, isn't it?
BASIC principles of gaming allude me.
[laughs]
Someone had one of these on Twitter the other day and it was a hideously deformed keyring.
This one's not too bad, in fact this one looks pretty decent.
[Octav1us laughs at squishies]
This is an original Playstation one.
[Octav1us continues to giggle]
You can't just laugh at the squishies!
That one looks really worried.
Ohh, so many Game boy games! Asterix, oh my god. There's loads!
Look at all this!
Metroid.
Dragon's Lair.
Man, look at this, there's loads here. This is amazing.
Thanks dude. I appreciate that.
I'll put your name down here. Hopefully I've been doing that throughout the video, because
I haven't said thank you to most of the people because I don't know who most of them are
from. My memory can not hold this information for more than a day at a time.
This is the last one, yeah?
[Octav1us continues to giggle at ghost squishy]
THIS friends, is a, Pandora's box (said in tuneful style). You've got one of these haven't
you? I do.
This is a Pandora's box, sent to me from, the shop which I'll link down below, because
I appreciate having one of these. I've never owned one of these, but I have played them
and they are very good.
OK, we can wrap up.
GET OVER HERE.
[marding sounds]
Get back here with that.
That is all the boxes done for this festive unboxing. Stop looking at it like that.
[sniggers]
These are all the boxes done for the festive unboxing. You're like a school child sniggering
away.
[laughs] It's because I keep looking at the ghosts.
Yeah, they're pretty cool.
[laughs]
So thanks for watching. Thanks for joining. I hope you've had a nice Christmas, and I
hope you continue to have a nice Christmas, and I hope you got lots of nice material objects
as well.
Say "bye".
"Bye!"
See ya!
[sniggers again]
That is mine.
It's not yours.
Get the f*ck off it.
It's see, it's see.
It's GOT MY NAME ON IT.
Just get out.
[sounds]
[pump up the jazz volume]
See ya :D
Thanks for watching.
