Jimmy White's 2: Cueball [PC] Pool mode - Jackanory

Harry O'Sullivan sets out to conquer Jimmy White's 2: Cueball on the PC. Before taking on the fiendishly difficult snooker mode, it's advisable to cut one's teeth with a spot of 8-ball pool to prime oneself for the arduous tasks to come. I did plan to have a separate video once I 'completed' snooker mode, but that isn't likely to happen any time this decade. Damn your accuracy, blasted artificial intelligence! The computerised Jimmy never misses, folks. :/

Let's *not* play Jimmy White's 2: Cueball [PC]

It's 2AM, and we've broken into snooker legend Jimmy White's house. Do we play one of the many types of pool games available, or perhaps a leisurely billiard exhibition with the magical pair of floating hands? Nah, better stick to the plan and look for stuff worth stealing. Hey, is that a dartboard over there?




Thanks once again to Kevin MacLeod for the music.

The Terminator [Mega Drive] - Da Sarah CONNER Chronicles (Commentary)

Hi! Good morning! How are you? Nice to meet you!

 You've seen Arnold have a go, but now it's Harry Yack's turn to take on (or at least commentate on) the very best Cyberdyne has to throw at him. This blind commentary takes in all four levels of this rather short game that follows the plot of the movie quite well indeed.

I could have spent time to master the game but I had to take out the papers and the trash, or I don't get no spendin' cash. It doesn't maddah! Instead, game footage is provided by an actual Terminator expert. Original longplay by BimmyLee83 for Longplays.org, used here with kind permission. You da man, dawg!

Let's rock and roll!

Dos and Don'ts of the Sega Mega Drive cartridge (with Electronic Arts)

Tl;dr version: Harry Yack reads cartridge text in mildly 'humorous' fashion. 

Here's a little bonus Easter egg for you all. If you've ever took the time to read the gumph written on the back of game cartridges, you'll know exactly how to take care of them. But just in case you haven't, Harry Yack guides you through the dos and don'ts of your typical Mega Drive cartridge. Well, I don't believe you can call EA Sports carts 'typical', but the points made are still at least remotely valid if you plan to, say, take your game to the swimming baths or a blast furnace. Happy Easter!
