Soft and Cuddly on the ZX Spectrum | Octav1us

[@PixelsLtd]

SUCH an honour to be asked to take part in this! Thank you! 😍🤗 The final thing turned out amazing, I love it, you rock! 🤩😎

[@BrasilGT]

Poor Larry Garfunkle Bundy Jr. Peter Douglas Molyneux will be happy to hear what happened to him.

[@PixelsLtd]

Not sure where the Garfunkle came from! I just improvised & it made me laugh! 😂

[@TheHopperUK]

I was 9 when this came out and I absolutely adored it. The B-side song! Amazing.

[@Patrick-Phelan]

Saw a stream from Dr Ashen mentioning this game and decided I really should look into it - I never had a Spectrum growing up, being probably a trifle too young, so I never really could peg just where the graphics were, apart from "probably somewhere between Pong and the NES". I figured there couldn't be too much gore you could do with that few pixels, but bless him, he did yeoman's work. Presuming that the yeoman in question hit a sheep with his scythe and then arranged the corpse on the field with a little sign saying "BLEEERGH I BET YOU'RE ALL SCARED OF THIS SCYTHE SHEEP YA NORMIES"

[@chavhunterofcalne2443]

You really went all out on this bad boy of a game. It's got to be the the most messed up looking thing I've ever seen in 8 bit. Now I just hope I won't have bad dreams about that zombie head thingy. :)

Just when i tbought id forgotten about night trap :'(

[@PixelsLtd]

haha sorry for brining it back up man. I'll pay for the therapy! 😉

How is Jet Set Willy not already on drugs?

[@BADC0FFEE]

Got a strong AVGN vibe from this one, Octav1us your stuff is just getting better and better

[@off2cdawizard]

Thanks to Larry Bundy I have a new KZbinr to binge watch! Loving all the videos I've seen so far. You definitely have a unique style, and I can't help but laugh with each video I watch. Can't wait to see what else is in store, and I hope you keep up the great work!

[@DarthPerkins]

The cover was also used for the third collected volume of H.P. Lovecraft stories.

[@yodaofborg]

Ok, thanks Octav1us, I am now addicted to watching these bloody vids. And it has nothing to do with your rack... Honest!

[@Wagoo]

Wow I forgot about that b-side song! I played this as a kid, I remember it being great value at £1.99 instead of £2.99 like the other budget games at the time.. the pile of heads haunted me for a while.. in a good way ^-^

[@Asobitech]

Hilarious stuff. Great coverage on a game I wasn't even aware of.

[@royrayne8240]

Excellent to see Pixels Ltd getting more exposure on other channels recently. Brilliant video Octav1us!

[@strain42]

...the information that there is a video game called SOFT & CUDDLY that is about collecting your Mom's dismembered body parts and storing them in a fridge is something I probably could have spent the rest of my life blissfully unaware of...but thank Horace I'm subscribed this channel!

[@SoraxSpace]

Glad you played the game Octav1us. The video was definitely worth the resulting armageddon ☺ Great performance by Sam here too!

[@PixelsLtd]

Thanks dude! 😂

[@BenchyTests]

3:24 Bet he loves a cuddle as well haha! //EDIT: Just got to the bit with my footage in it, you did a fantastic job with it! That was awesome.

[@mormegil231]

As per the order of Guru Larry i am obliged to say "Guru Larry sent me here". And i am pretty glad he did.

[@PixelsLtd]

Larry Garfunkle Bundy Jr is a legend of the highest order 😂

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Always looking fw to a new video on this channel! 😂 Brilliant - loved the ever growing amount of blood and the recurring Horace jokes!

[@girolamoantoniou2595]

This is sick! Great to see Pixels on this channel, looking forward to your video on his channel too!

[@medes5597]

The Slope, Guru Larry and Nostalgia Nerd shout outs made me laugh more than I want to admit.

[@PixelsLtd]

Hehe thanks 😂

[@medes5597]

@@PixelsLtd no problem, you were really good in this, I found your delivery of those parts in particular brilliant. I laughed loud enough to wake someone up because of them (:

[@PixelsLtd]

@@medes5597 Aw thanks dude! My original script was slightly more graphic - Sarah made the right choice by cutting it shorter - more funny and less disturbing on reflection. 😋 Was a huge honour for me to be invovled with this I'm the hugest fan of her work 😍

[@worldofretrogameplay6963]

Tipster sent me! I just subscribed, and I plan on staying permanently. Your unique way of reviewing games hooked me the moment I started watching! Excellent work!

Do you KNOW how many bananas you're going to be given at future cons? :P

oo-er missus!

[@josephkarl2061]

As soon as I saw Go To Hell, I thought, "Where have I seen those drawings before?" Then... Edit - And Horace got laid again - Dammit!

[@geraldleitner2453]

loved this! Samuel was hilarious and that bit with the head chasing those people was epic!

[@theaceofspades56]

Never heard of this game but I really dig the bright and colorful, spoofy imagery.

[@yy-hj4br]

Is it wrong that throughout the video the only thing I could think of is whether the fake blood can be washed off that shirt?

[@spwolftech]

Decided to do a 5 year Anniversary channel marathon so here is my HI to try and make the algorithm be nice. Fun and great no matter how many times i have watched them.

[@TheGamingMuso]

Bloody Brilliant as always! And Samuel really went all out with this. Excellent job you two! 😊

[@PixelsLtd]

Haha many thanks mate! 😂

[@HommerThadeu]

Yay! Your videos are coming back! I hope you are alright now girl...

[@heartwork7977]

Great video as always Octav1us! Love it! Though I wished you might pick up the curse storyline from series 1. Oh well, a guy can dream. But nonetheless, great stuff! And thanks for making it possible with all the stress of moving and all - really appreciate it.

[@steve_ancell]

The developer of this game really needs to stroke some fluffy bunnies!

[@CannaCJ]

The editing is on point. Fun as ever, thanks for the upload.

[@LovingAshadow]

Came after being told to by GuruLarry. And im happy he sent me your way. Subbed, liked, and hellos.

[@PixelsLtd]

Larry "Garfunkle" Bundy Jr 😉😂

[@LovingAshadow]

I stand corrected.

[@DonaldPerkins]

Great video! Thank you for all of the wonderful content and congratulations on the new flat! Keep up the good work and if there is anything I can do to help just let me know. Thanks again Octav1us, you are truly appreciated! :)

[@gummybread]

I was starting to get suspicious that the outfit from the thumbnails had nothing to do with the seven days of spoops. Also thank goodness there was a bit of smooth ragtime at the end to come down from the high of the scariest episode yet. From the editing and commentary, not the game itself though.

[@w0lfyovi294]

HAhahahahhahaha, that was freaking awesome video. And that game is kind of my jam, the artwork is creepy and bonkers at the same time. A lot more unique then all the zombies and monsters we get in games these days. Like all forms of art, its beauty in the eyes of the beholder ... but gameplay wise, not that good game. Great job on the video Octav1us.

[@lashawnsulzbach629]

This is incredible! Great to see Sam in another acting role too :D

[@PixelsLtd]

Thanks man!

[@SnarkyRC]

Awesome video. I subbed. Gory games are great. I definitely need to get a ZX Spectrum.

[@geranium44horse]

This is a really creative and bizarre and I actually love it. Doesn't play well of course, but you cant have everything.

2:39 Nice reference to Alice Cooper's cover for his album "Goes To Hell" here.

[@rodentoftheastrowaste1414]

Also, i think that the design of these skulls wearing a beret is based on the logo he used on his other album, "Special Forces".

[@1luarluar1]

I enjoyed, thank you for uploading, I have never heard of this game. Cheers!

[@outdooradventures8773]

Brilliant video Octav1us, I loved it.

Wow. Loved this 😆. I remember this game getting a bad rep back in the day but so did many games of that time. They proverbialy shit the bed when doom was released though. Fantastic video Octav1us

[@Error42_]

This may be the only game where the Spectrums colour clash issue actually enhances the graphics

[@getyerspn]

Great video ... completely mad ending ..love it.

[@Indie9999]

The cover of this game, that monster sat on a pile of skulls, it's from the cover of a HP Lovecraft book.

[@sparkles122]

[@progbloke6655]

Hope the house moving went well. It's a hateful experience, for sure, but at least you're out of that bloody place now. Call it a new beginning. (Not to mention, a good excuse to christen the new place with a bottle of wine, or two...)

Glad to see your vids pack up :) hope your feeling bit better .

[@callme_Sweetpea]

My guess is that the copyright strikes she had recieved have been removed, and therefor these videos popped back up, so she probably haven't un-private'ed them herself. That's my guess at least.

There really were some crazy cats back in the Spectrum's heyday...but my god it was such a creative time.

[@slacknhash]

Huh. Cover art taken from the Lovecraft collection 'Dagon and Other Macabre Tales'. Thought I recognised it!

[@martinvaldez8745]

That game needs more exposure, it needs merch too. I’m up for that scarey head on the front of a tee shirt and on the back a peeled banana, peeled four times, count those skins, one skin...two skin... yes it’s an old joke but I’m older than a speccy

[@AnonyDave]

Compared to early 90s black metal, the recording quality of that track is top notch... come to think of it that game seems like it would've fit into that scene a bit, although the "serious" people would've kicked them out. Kinda glad I missed that era

[@Waldimart]

Amazingly editing!

[@Raketbosse]

Is this the sequel to Grim Fandango? It features Salvador Limones severed head after all... :)

Loved your review of this game. I used to play it back then. Very weird game. If you have time, check a game called "Chiller" for the arcades. It would be pretty cool to see you reviewing it. :)
