SHOCKING HALLOWEEN QUIZ! Q&A QUESTIONS STILL NEEDED!
🕑 Added 2022-11-03 11:00:18 +0000 UTCHello, gang.
Here's this week's video. Sorry it wasn't up earlier for you - but some of you will have seen most of it on Twitch on Monday. It's just the last half an hour or so of the stream - which was the electrocution Halloween Quiz, and Gannon's failure of a ghost game. And some smashing pumpkins.
If you can tolerate the stream-quality picture and sound, it's worth watching for a very drunk Eli being electrocuted repeatedly.
I've cleaned up the sound and picture a bit, and added a few extra shots I took from behind the main camera. I've also got some extra footage from the two Halloween specials that I'll get up shortly for the £5-and-up Patrons.
Just a reminder, but we're planning to record a Patreon-only Q&A either this afternoon or tomorrow, so please get your questions in, as we haven't had a ton. Please post them here, or beneath the original post.
Tomorrow, technology permitting, we'll have a new Writer's Club and BYAMPOD for you. Not sure what we're doing next week for Digi, but providing my mother behaves... we'll have something.
Lastly, some of you who are over on Kickstarter will know we're wanting short videos of Teletext-era Digi from people who used to read it. If you'd like to record one, please ensure it's no more than a minute, and shot in landscape. It can be anything relating to classic Digitiser, to use in the 30th anniversary episodes. And then email them to digitiser2000@gmail.com with the subject heading DIGI ANNIVERSARY VIDEO.
Oh, and lastly lastly... you might be wondering what's happening with Digi Live. With everything we've had going on, we've not had time in the last few weeks, but I'm hoping we might have some more news next week. I would like to have tickets on sale before the end of the year.
Think that's it for now.
Buh-bye!

No rush! But the sooner the better.

Oh, Biffster, when’s the deadline for the videos? I’ll try and find a minute to do one over the weekend.

Question for the QAndA. Has a presumably happily married couple. How do you make it work? I'm getting married in May next year, as of yet I've not gotten nervous only just getting things paid for as well as the honeymoon. Got any tips for me?

QA question - What did you think of the other parts of the Teletext service, namely things like Mega-Zine and the music pages? Those were the ones that had a similar following like Digi at the time, though nowhere near as long lasting and as adaptable as Digitiser's has proved to have. Did you like the people who did them and the pages themselves, did you dislike them, was it a mixture of the two?

What have you been watching or listening to, to try and unwind and take some time to yourself the past months? I’ve been rewatching the monster hunter stories again recently and I’ve been meaning to ask, what is the most memorable thing from that trip? Would you do it again if you were asked now? Hope you are both doing well, loved the Halloween episode. Beanus with the knife was nerve wrecking.

I've been around YouTube-era Digi for a while, as I was introduced through Barshens. There are some things from the Teletext days that I've figured out through context, and others that I don't even think need context (The Man's Daddy is self-explanatory), but I'm befuddled by the characters, usually drawn but not always, with straps around their mouths and either big red lips or some kind of round red appliance around the mouth. Could you explain the origin and context of these things? Is that even possible?

You've mentioned recently that the Biffo character is an exaggerated version of your real self. More impatient, quicker to anger, more impulsive... Would you say Sanja plays a character in a similarly exaggerated way, or does she mostly react naturally to the chaos of Digi?
Matt Kimber (Timberwolf)
I can't remember if this one has been asked before, but: what would you do for Digi if you had an absolutely massive budget to shoot an episode?
Dave Graves
What was the reaction like when people sussed you'd decided to ditch video game content. How did you deal with it? What made Sanja venture before the camera and perform? She's a naturall by the way. Love the chemistry of your performances.

Here's a question, definitely not related to what I'm watching while feeding the baby in a morning: what do you reckon to Red Dwarf? You a fan? Do you think there's a reason why sci-fi sitcoms aren't more prevalent? And do you think other not often utilised sitcom-genre mashups could work (like perhaps a horror sitcom, or an action movie sitcom)?

Who is Sanja's favorite Kevin?
