I just had an idea. For items that have the offer of being signed, that could also include a Puppyfractic paw print. It might sweeten the deal for her bidding fans.
Puppyfractic looked like she was in heaven getting her tummy scratched. And I love Ladyfractic’s Donkey Kong t-shirt. So far I only have 2 Commodore shirts and plan to get more eventually.
Can i just say that;s very generous of you , thanks for all your hard work , decoding etc on this, working in Sheffield ill be able to visit this in person, my favourite games from my youth made possible by my favourite youtube channel , than you again ! greetings from "sunny" UK and all the best :)
Really great way to bring this chapter to a close. I let done pf! I think I spotted a sketch of a car used in the racing game ATR in the happy book at 17:51.
Great to hear that the hardware will be just down the road in Sheffield! It seemed wrong that such an important machine was just going to disappear again into the unknown, and a museum is the ideal place for it.
2:50 ... yup that is all she is here for ... that, and brains, looks, personality ... need I continue? In fact, I’m not entire sure what you are doing here sir! Puppy Fractic seems to have chosen a side, and so have we ;) Chip dippers indeed!
I mean, he found a kindred soul in LadyFractic -You know I had Worms? - (Sigh) Yes, everyone knows you had worms... -You know what came after? -A pill?
Still rockin my A500+ with 2mb ram and hard drive and CD rom, was playing Theme park on it tonight in fact. Only use the CD to play cover discs that I bought back in the day(Amiga format had full games a lot of the time, some of the indie titles are my favourites) but want to try and look more into that. originally got it off a mate when he got a pc so never really utilised it. The hardrive is a must though. hated swapping disks all the time in point and clicks like Flight of the Amazon Queen, Monkey island 2 and Beneath a Steel sky, not to mention save files.....just found your channel but subbed!
I mostly make stupid and silly comments so I think it's time to drop an honest "thank you" to the entire Familyfractic for all the time and effort you put into creating your content which is just so entertaining! So here we go: Thank you so much for more often than not being the highlight of my Saturdays, thank you for the dedication to preserve these old gems of our youth, thank you for the countless trips down memory lane, and last but not least thank you for enlightening me about the meaning of PCB which, as we all know, stands for "Perifractic's Channel's Best"! _Thank_ _you,_ _Familyfractic!_
I remember going for a job interview at Team17 when they were still based at their original location in Ossett. As far as I know they were there until not too long ago, when they moved to their current Wakefield site. I didn't get the job by the way - I was over qualified apparently :-(
I probably was yes! I should add, although I can't really remember what the actual job interview was for, I do remember it wasn't anything 'technical', it was some sort of warehousing/distribution job, still not sure how I was over qualified for that.
You two are so on point and fracking adorable. I'm so glad Ladyfractic is becoming more of a fixture in the videos. I wonder though, is the other puppy camera shy?
Great Follow vid on all the T17 items. Glad to hear that some of it will be making it's way to Sheffield (which means I can actually see it for myself ;)) and I do hope at some point the W2 models will be re-animated again... Just one last thing, you showed off the T17 posters (in the vid) are apart of the charity auctions on eBay. But I don't see them there ? Have they already been sold off ? Please let me know ASAP. Either way, thank you for all of your help to preserving some of Worms and UK gaming history here :)
hehe it was quite funny indeed with puppyfractics reaction to the scantily clad hairy ladies :) also i knew there is a bunch of worms games but until now i really was not aware of a "worms 2" amazing!
also out of bland curiousity maybe? i know the fallon from the worms team, this chap i know from the old now closed down snooker club we used to haunt, he was a games tester for ocean.
Great vid, very important protecting of yesteryear, even if it has Worm too! Nice K9 love you got there, and you forgeting garage music, oh is it an aluminium rod or pole across the pond?
I am still in search for an A4000 which is not too expensive. It is nearly impossible to get one nowadays :( I just love my Amigas here and want to recreate that feeling :)
Love you guys and I enjoy your channel! You are both knowledgeable and funny. Outside of your teachings and commentary, I enjoy when you debate english pronunciation. Aesthetically speaking, it is hard to rank the cuteness of you both. Puppyfractic is obviously number one, sorry. Even with Perryfractic's handsome knowledge/hypnotic voice and Ladyfactic's wit & most beautiful eyes on RUclips, Puppyfractic is still the cutest! Not an easy ranking, though. Keep up the great entertainment!

Would it be wrong to geta Team17 version of worms for the Amiga and then get the person who did the 100% crack to sign it years later as Im still friends with him 25 years on.
Hey, do you ever think you'd have a go at improving/remastering the Worms 2 cutscenes? I did message Mat on his channel but RUclips just eats my replies to him now :D
I think the link from the giveaways page to the charity auctions has been nibbled at by worms (looks like a link to items you have for sale but with a hardcoded filter string of "VIC-II").

Hmmm, they both work. I don't know what's real anymore; can't get back to the link on the giveaway to check - but if it's working now it must've been a transient issue. Sorry the noise.
i have to say you are really lucky man to have this beautiful woman that is interested in vintage stuff and assist you ,i wish i have live companion like you have ,i wish you all the best

Love the channel but as someone who does not like dogs at all, can we get a warning when dogs will be licking people. I had to turn it off. I can't watch that.
@@RetroRecipes that's worse! As someone on the autism spectrum a little bit, I can't watch that. Sucks as I wanted to see that EP as well. Maybe I'll try again but I doubt it.
I know how you feel. I suffer from misophonia. But I just love dogs so I think the brain's wiring bypasses it for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In reality I don't think I can put a warning up before a dog kiss... but this is probably the only time it's happened. I'm actually quite conscious about not showing that stuff, but this time it was super cute (I think).
@@RetroRecipes I'm not surprised to hear that actually but as they say, takes one to know one. Haha. This was first time it got to me so I think you are correct in it being the once. Waring unrealistic indeed. Lol. Say hi to the misses for me. Be cool guys!
Now this is what the internet archive was made for! Props to Team17 for allowing all this to happen, and for you guys for making it happen.
So amazing that all the owning parties involved were open to making all the data available. I'm a synth geek and it kinda reminds me of Yamaha giving the Sequential name back to Dave Smith after some prodding from Roland. Even competitors can join together for good and respect each other.
Let's be honest. This is now the Puppyfractic show.
This video almost make me cry. From laugh, and also from memories :) Thank you both of you (actualy all three) and also PCB wave :D
I need to dig out my old box of MicroProse games now and see what I have left.
I still have my Worms 2 tin and watch also. Probably my most favorite game from working there.
I ran a warez ftp dedicated to lightwave back in the day called LonewaveFTP. Still have all the files... might be able to help :)
Nice! You can find the Worms 2 backup at the link in description. Feel free to play with the scenes!

Some gems in that assortment of goodies. Team 17 are very generous, so much nostalgia from my childhood.
Agreed!

Great work on the historical Team 17 project. You really made it happen. Nicely done.

I mean, he found a kindred soul in LadyFractic
-You know I had Worms?

-You know what came after?
-A pill?

Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️ Greetings from California
I've setup a old pentium and the last month I got worms too again after 20 years so happy that other people have worms too
I've been having fun walking through walls using the arrow keys in the Witchwood demo

Did your opening pun get a worm in it? Seems like it.
