I'll get my thinking cap on. Post them in this thread or PM?

Not sure on the dates yet, but go ahead and post them in here!

Howdy y'all, I've done a charity stream on ZX Spectrum gaming three years in a row now, and I was going to pause it this year because I've had a mad one, but instead I've decided to do the opposite and have a stream anyway, but keep it relatively simple (like me). I tend to have a host of guests and...

Bloody hell, I just typed my description into Google and instantly found it. I'm a moron.

Riddler's Den, if anyone was interested.

My descriptions on this are vague, I know it exists because I remember seeing it again recently and then immediately forgetting what it was because I'm like that. My only memories of the game are: You were a (blue?) Elephant, it was an adventure style game - I think possibly aimed at kids, but I'm n...

Wonderful as always! Thanks for the write up and the wonky eyes, that's exactly what I look like right now as I nurse a hangover.

Love to the Richmonds, and a big well done to you Rosie.

Thanks @flatduckrecords! I will DM you your winning codes.

Thanks so much for a very entertaining marathon of a game franchise that you're honest to admit you're not too keen on! And I was there for you falling in the lava as you almost finished a game (I forget which, it feels like there are 827,127 Dizzy games.) I didn't/couldn't watch all of it, but dip...

Thank you all so much for the support, over £4k raised for GOSH and I couldn't be happier.

@R-Tape - I believe you won Jay's Mystery Box (that was only sort of a mystery) - DM me your address and I'll pass it on to him for you!

Most egg-cellent! I'm not familiar with Twitch. Will I need an account to tune in? Is there a way of saying hi or leaving comments? Will the videos be available to re-play after the event? I'm pretty sure you'll need an account (you can sign up for free though, and it's easy enough to set up). When...

Salad bowls (or was it a colander?) on heads ready for the Saturday 1pm slot

So long as he doesn't start singing again I should be fine.

And the guest list is now fully confirmed

Is there a link to the stream somewhere? I might have some time this weekend to watch a bit.

Good luck with your charity stream!

It'll be streamed over on twitch, so: www.twitch.com/rosetintedspectrum

I watch your videos, which are incredibly entertaining, and I will also be giving to your chosen charity. But, for the love of Clive, why the fecking sh1te would you but yourself through 24hrs of egg based misery!!!?? That smug faced germ cell is the epitome of annoying. The way that it bobs up and...

Hullo folks, Just wanted to drop in to notify folk of the 24 Hours of Dizzy event I'll be hosting this coming weekend (Saturday and Sunday) - it'll be streamed over on Twitch and I'll be attempting (no doubt very poorly) to complete as many Dizzy games as possible. There's a whole host of guests inv...

Got 'em with the ol' switcheroo

Nice on RT, this is already looking good. These streams are starting to become an Easter fixture for me! At the very least I'll donate and watch. This one may or may not be happening ON Easter (hence the "April" tag) because I may... Be doing something pretty bloody huge and official with...

The prize pool for this has gone insane, and there's more to come. Will be ironing out the finer details on how to choose winners, but I will most likely aim to provide 1 "ticket" per X amount donated, and then go on a first picked, first choice basis. The donations so far: Amiga 500 from ...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlLF7yLWAAAdYWn?format=jpg&name=large Those who've been following me for a while will know that, each year, I aim to do a charity drive. The past couple years has been in support of Mind, but this year things have hit closer to my own community. Some of you may alrea...

You WERE there, you big winner you.

So basically, if I've understood the instructions because I've never done this before and I was too stupid to test it beforehand. You go to: www.twitch.tv/rosetintedspectrum My face will be there, probably looking confused and tired, and you should see an option "allow" Quiz Kit. Once you'...

Sounds fun. Not sure yet, but if I can I will. I'm rusty with Twitch - do we need any extra functionality installed to take part? Also (don't read before the 15th December 2022): I predict you will buy a pack of Hobnobs on 14th December 2022. From SPAR. Yes and no - from what I can see, all you nee...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FjeJ8hdXkAUTEcy?format=jpg&name=large Howdy folks! I'm going to be hosting a (not very festive) ZX Spectrum quiz on the 17th of December over on Twitch, mostly just for fun but there are some incredibly poor prizes up for grabs. I may add more to that, but I thought ...

I didn't even think of that!!

It's just Tupperware parties for the playground.

Pretty much! I'm intrigued now though, I need to know more, I've got in touch with Clem Chambers to see if he'd be willing to answer a few questions.
