MAGIX cares about your dad's old video collection

That episode of Gladiators he recorded in 1994 because mum wanted to watch Eurovision CAN be saved.



We didn't think to research the contents of the package. Presumably it's a dongle that digitises the AV output.

Nice nicotine-stained vcr, what branch of cash converters did they get that from?

Why's he grinning so much anyway?
That hold's not going to win him many points...

I like that they've managed to put some flowers behind the vcr, but have decided to let the dust on top of the machine be. The dust certainly adds to the recognition factor, if you ask me.

this appears to be the exact same dongle you can get for six quid on ebay. i assume theyve bundled it with some custom (or freeware if theyre particularly cheeky) software and marked it up about 10 times?

like some of the shit i've seen advertised in newspapers for recording analogue audio sources where they just give you a box with a couple of phono inputs on it and a copy of audacity and charge you fifty quid for the privilege.

Men no me has reminded me of the bad old days of video porn. FLASHBACKS! Shitty pausing and the, erm, popular bits of the tape used to get worn out after no more than say 150 viewings. Oh how we have avdanced since then

No one rescued his hair, so what's left to get excited about but old videotapes. He's like a menopausal lady maniacally collecting pins. It won't bring back the good ol' days, pal!

He's grinning because he's just found his Jet compilation tape and tonight's bingo night.

Why's he using both hands to insert his video?

avDancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside
Saw it all as we performed
our pirouette
Fleshes fused
As the flicker of the candles
Threw upon the wall a
single silhouette

I hope you are female BadBen.
