I can't believe it.

Max has asked me to move in with him.

I mean, you practically live with each other already, but that's great.

Did you hear that, Joe?

Yes, thanks for letting us know.

I see you've updated your universal credit claim.

Now you're going to be living together.

Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast episode number 147, your weekly dose of retro gaming

and technology news with me Dan Wood and me Ravi Abbott. And normally this time of year, like start of November, it kind of feels a bit like the quiet before the storm, doesn't it? Do you remember being a kid and like, you just couldn't wait for Christmas to get started? Bloody Christmas adverts already on TV. I'm just like, God, it was Halloween. Like yesterday, yeah, it's going to come around so quickly.

That's it.

But, I mean, what I do like about this time of year is, I've been moving house recently. My Man Cave is all set up. I know you've been working on yours as well. I've been spending so much time indoors playing games recently, which is like a novelty. Couldn't do that over summer. It was too warm. Yeah, my VR was so hot.

Literally, I'd do two minutes on that.

Now I can do about half an hour and then I'm like,

get this big off my head. summer it was too warm. Yeah, my VR was so hot. Like literally I'd do two minutes on that. Now I can

do about half an hour and then I'm like, get this big off my head. But another thing is kind of

unwanted gifts and you know you have raspberry pies. I've got them coming out my ears of raspberry pies.

Yeah, well we may have a little use for them today which combines an old school piece of technology with guests. Now, also, I mean, you mentioned about gifts and stuff there too. It is the time of year when people are starting to think about what they might want in the Christmas stockings, and I'm sure there's going to be so many products that are coming out over the next few weeks or few months that are all vying for our Christmas spending money. So we've got a few ideas and things that you might want to see in your Christmas stocking

and that one this week that you probably definitely will not. So we'll talk more about that in just a bit. Now, we are going to be covering some we haven't really talked about on this podcast a lot. Yet it is something that we've got so much nostalgia for, and that is teletext. Yeah, we've had Mr Biffo talking about digitiser, which was a kind of video games magazine.

Daily video games magazine.

Yeah.
