Mayhem

So the channel getting reported for that? 😆 And I didn’t get to see most of the Twitter comments before shutdown so that’s more than enlightening as to why it was before the proposed date heh...

If you mean Bedfordshire, I'm presuming because that's where Luton is located... Don't take it personally, he deleted scores of people off FB once the enormity of the initial AA thread posting became apparent. Done because apparently he was told by the police to do it...!

I recall Darran Jones a long time ago commenting to me along the lines that the only editing needed done on my articles was if the layout couldn't accommodate all the text. My philosophy is, if you're going to promote a professional product in some capacity and get paid for it, make sure it's at least spelling and grammar checked properly and reads in a fluid manner. It may also explain why I've probably spent as much time in the last five years proofreading other material as writing it myself (and not all videogame related, published fiction books on Amazon/Kindle etc too).

His FB page for Laird’s Lair is still active and hosting the post. And borrowed from FB heh... Heh, prophetic maybe, but no, it’s a quote from the original Bard’s Tale RPG of the 80s...

One obvious lie... Kieran has never had anything to do with Fusion retro magazine, in any capacity. So you start from there, and unravel onwards...

To reiterate what I posted elsewhere... he addresses none of the accusations and deflects to straw man argue back that person X is just as bad as he's been labelled, and only refers to the sock puppet part with denial (we know you have them, they vanished at the same time when your YT channel was nuked!). Love the unsubtle threads to AA to get them shut down because ignored the takedown request, unlicensed ROMs being hosted and reproductions sold, while claiming that everything he sells is legit. Guess what, unreleased proto repros that you sell are technically not legit either, you dumbass. They just tend to fly under the radar of whoever holds the rights. And being on the autistic spectrum and disabled, while indeed two protected anti discrimination aspects, does not give you the right to be a dick, and does not protect you from criticism for being a dick. I'm on the spectrum too, and while I'm sure I've upset a few people over the years, doesn't come anywhere near close to the riling the community feels against you Kieran.

I wouldn't say Midnight Mutants is that easy to find. Neither Ninja Golf. But as you say, both easier to find in PAL than NTSC.

Proof is in the being able see links to AA again on FB pudding heh.

Assburgers, with the emphasis on “being an ass” here. Other people have autism, adhd and Aspergers, but aren’t complete dicks in the process, so it’s no excuse,

Done as well to help...

Oh thats about the second thing I said in the first post I made on this subject a while back heh! 🤪 And I presume this is the video you mean?

I would like to stress there’s a bunch of stuff off with Starship’s post (notwithstanding that Jason Butwell isn’t evil and hasn’t had any dealings with Kieran for years) and Starship is pretty much ostracised from the UK events community for various reasons as well. However, yes, stories about Kieran trying to ruin relationships have much more solid grounding.

Yes, I heard similar actually. Worrying indeed, if true.

The general consensus is he's pulled the channel before it got destroyed by copyright strikes, to further his usual "playing the victim" card...

Hi Sam, I had a feeling eventually you would be directed towards this thread given everything that has been happening online re Kieran over the last week or so. Given that I was seeing FB posts from Kieran publicising the book before and after the pre-order opened, then I was left in no doubt that he was involved. Albeit I can't see them now because like he's done to so so many others as well, he's defriended me on FB in the last few days. That hasn't stopped me from pre-ordering the book, but you do rightly surmise that it could very well harm sales. We shall see in due course.

The missus read Chris’ post on FB and that was literally the first thing she said about Kieran, knowing nothing more except what I had told her about why Chris had made it.

Welcome Bliz! The really really short and stupid analogy around Kieran is pretty much like the #MeToo campaign. Suddenly lots and lots of different people in the retro community as a whole who had no connection to each other are discovering they aren't the only ones to have been shafted over or defamed by him the last 15 years or more. And yes, posting the Wotsit video himself was a classic example of the Streisand effect.

I’m thinking of selling my 7800 originals but it wouldn’t be for as much as that heh...

The one with way, WAY more members

If you still need anything else, I have the QB SE in the wooden box still here.

Sorry to see this happen, hopefully you’re not getting completely out the scene now Marc. Also curious to see possible sell price as may well be letting go all my non-homebrew 7800 stuff in the new year... but in bundles at least heh.

Yes, yes, NTSC only, Activision = NTSC and HES/Salu = PAL, yes the carts are the same with HES = clamshell box and Salu = cardboard box.

Yeah PR Baseball is just Baseball. DD was Activision, but Absolute was a spin off from Activision anyhow so... close enough heh.

Chopper Command was actually first, but yeah... had a little hand in the suggestions
