Doomy wanted me to pass on that he made a cool video about how he got into Commodore/Amiga/Atari's. Check it out...
http://retrogeekcomputers.com/HGCCH.mpg
-
If he's such an "expert" at computers, how come he manages to make a 3 minute video with poor resolution nearly 300MB in size???
-
Oh wow, that was funny.
Scary thing is I think I went in to the Hacker Shack place in Portland in the mid 1980s with my cousin. I could've had the honor of actually meeting this Amiga expert in person! If only I'd known... oh well.

I wonder what Doomy does care about.

OMG he's fking ugly.

I also find it somewhat disturbing that he keeps talking on his website about "We at Retrogeek Computers"..
Who is/are these other(s)? Or does he refer to himself in Royal Plural Form, like those megalomanic kings and emperors in the past always seem to do? ("We, Louis XIV from France.......")
-
wow guys! we have found the new AInc CEO.
or at least a good PR!
a month or so in a beauty farm, an Armani jackets and we are there!
-
hilarious :lol: :lol: :lol: doomy's reality tv show :lol:
-
Hmmm... He didn't dare to say "MilSpec" in the video or what?
-
Cool video.
-
If you want to see some more funnies, go to his forums,
Under the "Amiga on eBay" section, he has his list of
ebay sellers to avoid, but there seems to be one missing.
And from his "Helpful Tidbits" section, I guess I should
sell my A3000 and my A3000T, as any A2000 equiped with
the same processor will be faster because of "Commodore's decision to include a bus management chip, called "Buster," in the design of the Amiga 3000. Unfortunately for the user, all Buster manages to do is to create a bottleneck for information that slows the computing process."
-
just fast forward to the part when he starts to talk about amiga2000. he get big eyes, the head starts to spin and he nearly fall of the chair in excitement.... :lol: i hope there will be like 10 more episodes of this show, its funny :-)

Jeez, he can't be much of an A2000 "expert" if he doesn't even know that the A2000 has a Buster too (although not the Super Buster of the A3000 & A4000) :roll:
-
Bloody hell,, he must think he is mega important to make this.. who gives a toss about his past...
worth a look just for a laugh though..

we = Doomey and the mouse in his pocket.

ok, skimmed through the video because I just.. would lose the will to live otherwise
why, man? why?
it's not like the guy is some kind of industry luminary or doing anything exciting there
what a load of self indulgent irrelavence :(
-
I am still downloading.
-
i just watched it again.... hahahahahaha! :roflmao:
-
So, the point is:
1. He purchased a few computers and had fun(although, I hate to think what he did to that poor little vic 20)
2. He found idiots like himself to trade a new computer for a home built PC.
3. He copied all the software for the commodore 64.
4. He copied all the software for the Atari.
5. I assume he copied all the software for the Amiga.
6. He copied lots and lots of software.
I do not see anything really useful he did, but He did have a lot of fun drinking beer at copy parties. I guess that counts for something.

I was thinking somewhat similar. In the video he says (about the VIC-20 from his roommate):
"I sat down in front of the computer, turned it on, and started doing things with it"..
Right now I have very vomit-inducing visualisations. Poor VIC-20 :-(
-
You guys are a trip. I thought it was a good video on how he got into computers. Pretty entertaining hehe. I might do one too since some of you think we are the same person.

That picture made me laugh. It looks like my old office at Rockwell back in the 80's. :-)

who's the dork in the pic?
I didnt bother downloading a vid created by a nobody.

There is a difference between putting up a page with you history written in it (which he already has), and making a 12-minute video of yourself, in which you tell the same story.
If I could give a tip to Doomy: make a video in which you actually DO something, or show something on that marvellous Amiga 2000 (I wonder why he is sitting in front of an A4000 instead though) rather than sitting still and telling a fairytale in a way too monotonous voice.
-

It's not that you have missed anything. Of course the comments were much more funny than the video itself.

I agree, this jerk gets way too much attention from members here. Wasted bandwidth is all it is. I could not stand to watch more than a few seconds of the video and from what I have read here, I am glad I did not waste my time.
TjLazer, you don't actually like that idiot or believe anything he writes or says, do you? I can't imagine why you would visit his website to find that video? Maybe the others here are right when they say you and he are the same person?
Anyway, it is not worth my time or energy to think or read about it any further. Doomy is the biggest loser in the Amiga community I have ever come across. :oops:
-
TjLazer is a mod on Doomy's forum so I guess he likes him.
-

Fully agree on that. Everytime a new "Doomy does it again" or "Look at those ebay prices! What a rip-off!!1!" thread appears here, I really have to *yaaaaaaaawn*.
-
omg, what a nerd.
almost as bad as Apple II guy (http://youtube.com/watch?v=lrB-z1-9Kz4)
-
I wonder why he is sitting in front of an A4000 instead though
Very good point, I will have to ask him about this one!!
He needs to do another video showing off his famous Amiga 2500 workstation.
-
okay so there will be a part 2 that is all about the a2000 miletary spec?
-
Excuse me, who is this guy and why the boring video? I mean he goes on and on about his history but why should I care? No transitions, just a fixed camera. At least make the penguin on the Amiga explode or something. Bill Gates, love him or hate him, could get away with some long life story but not this looser.
-
is a long story, persia ... sometimes boring, other times amusing like this one! ;-)

Almost as bad? Doomy is worse! At least the Apple II guy has porn videos! (check the video around 1:08 minutes :lol:)
-
Hmmm... Apple II guy reminds me of me :( lol
Although I don't go around making videos of it...
Oooh... maybe I should and achieve "uber nerd/dork" status.. instead of just being plain old nerdy :p
-
I wonder too why he is sitting in front of an A4000 instead of his super mega ultra giga A2000...
-
Actually watched it now...
Strangely it IS quite entertaining... although it would have a lot more meaning if he was some kind of famous computer guy.
-

The A2000 was probably out at the shooting range getting in practice to maintain its military readiness. It takes lots of hard work to keep your body up to military spec.
-
I cant read his forum, it hurts my eyes (really) what a colour scheme, white on black, can't be arsed to put into a paint program and invert the colours.
-
Not that {bleep}tard again, please can we forget about him.
-

Me neither, I'm positive the thread about the video is 5 times better than the video itself. Now if he made a video about how he gets out of the computer business, I *might* watch than one.

I hope I dont make anyone mad here but If you took the time and download and watch this then you really need to go outside and get a life.
If you really want some excitment in your life then go bid on one of his auctions. that will give you drama for sure.
-
I want to see him on the dating game. :lol:
-

Hmm whats worse, being curious and watching a video or making mundane comments on forums?
Then whats to say about everyone that watches stupid videos on YouTube? This one was far more interesting and relative to our hobby!
-

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good catch
-
Doomy can release all the videos he wants but he will never usurp this guy.
He's the computer man (http://youtube.com/watch?v=87HC2huDuXk)
I've seen that vid 100 times and it still cracks me up.
-
Wow I was really curious and actuaally watched it...kinda while i was putting on my shoes and I gotta admit it is boring as hell. He talks so damn slow and hmmnnn ok, whats the point of this video again?????? Cheers!!!

Well, I'm guilty on both counts... I don't have a life and... I did bid on one of his auctions.
I can confirm the drama factor. :madashell:
-
I don't get it.
Is he some kind of celebrity or authority on computers?
What does he do? Is he a famous programmer? Musician? Graphics artist? :-?
I totally understand interviews with e.g. Eugene Jarvis, because it has a (maybe somewhat narrow) public interest. But really, who is this guy? Why didn't he just make a personal web page?
Please enlighten me. :-)
-
He actually thinks he's some kind of celebrity. Probably showing off to computer illiterates on a regular term.
How boring can one single person be? I feel pity for him, even if he continually screws his ebay customers.
-
Zac67 wrote:

You lot have practically made him a celebrity online at least; I bet he's loving every minute of it.
Attention seekers feed of negative attention also.
-
Wow! I was expecting him to sound like a hillbilly :crazy:
Funny how the video makes him seem like a decent guy (when hes not) :roll:
.. and why has he got an A4000 in the back? i thought he didnt like AGA Amigas??
-
I thought this guy's name was George Campbell?? There was also some female name he used to use on eBay. Maybe he's not so alone after all.
-
good video Doomy, i thoroughly enjoyed it, very entertaining. lets hope he does another! maybe of him showing us his computer collection or his a2000 in action.
@TjLaZer
please pass on above message! :D

Wikipedia: A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. A famous definition of celebrity comes from the cultural theorist Daniel Boorstin. In his book, The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, he cynically describes celebrities as people well known for their “well-knowness”.
I thought the video was interesting in that you can now see the person we've been following all these years. We are all Doomy Groopies.
We're already on page 3 of this thread. 'nuff said.

And in the states it's just another stupid Internet acronym along the lines of "LOL", "ROFL", and so forth.

Is it me or is this video in mono? I am getting no sound out of the right channel!

Aye - left channel only.

Here's a much more entertaining video of Doomy that I created!

HAHA now that was funny. I don't pass judgement as i have never met or dealt with Doomy, but the remixed video did make me chuckle a few times.
Cheers

I dunno guys... I'm gonna have to give Doomy just a little more credit than that Apple II guy... Wow, talk about a retro-queef. :/
Any news on whether or not these Doomy videos are going to be a regular thing?? Or was this just a one time deal?

I don't think anybody should be watching this.
I'm sure his droning voice is an attempt to either hypnotise or subdue the mind enough to be susceptible to subliminal messages.
My nick used to be a bit of a joke.
Won't be for much longer if I keep watching this video.
Someone please drag me away from this screen.
