Computer Baron * Broadcast March 11, 1981

[@rtullock]

It's so wild to revisit a time where someone "using a computer" as their day planner was a big news story.

[@therockafire]

Right! And the computer I was using was a Radio Shack Model 1 that I had programmed myself in Basic to handle my to-do list. That was cutting edge stuff. I had not even adopted the Apple IIe yet as my favorite platform.

SHOWBIZ PIZZA PLACE BRAZIL 1980 2023🤔🤔

[@layton889]

This has to be one of my favorite videos you’ve published. I love seeing insight into how everything was produced for the show.

[@CyberstarChuck]

Wow, Looneys signals were mixed with Earls!

[@therockafire]

You're the first person to ever mention this. I was so worried when I made the decision to program Earl to Looney's part back in 1980. I knew it was wrong to do that. But, you see, we recorded the show the way it should be with the falsetto voice (i.e. Looney) doing that part like the Beatles did. But, when I was programming the movements, I really needed to open Rolfe and Earl's stage at that point and had to give Earl that part to do that. One other fact that no one knows is that I only sang the part once because my voice gave out that night and I couldn't sing it twice. So I copied and pasted the falsetto part on the second section where it was needed. That was also considered a musical crime back in the good ol' days of "real music". And now you know.

Aaron, You're ability to break down complex inventions into simple terms anyone can understand is incredible! It always fills me with confidence and inspires me to learn more.

[@justaeditor9043]

This was genuinely heartwarming to watch. It actually gives me hope I can achieve my dreams too. Thanks for posting this. ❤❤

[@MrMetalminded]

Very cool! This was broadcast on my 12th birthday!

[@agentsloth8593]

This is so cool seeing such a old video!

[@magicalmousers]

[@MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

So cool to see how much technology has changed throughout the years.

[@djadventure]

Nice to see how everything was Recorded back then

[@Mason_E_Cheese]

it must have been amazing to find the footage so you could find jutta best of luck to you and your restoration

[@Jimbob_Offical]

This is so cool to see this documentary in full. I have only seen snippets of it in the past.

[@Mandy.S.]

This is cool! I was wayyy to young to remember anything but the pizza and how much I loved the animatronics at Show Biz Pizza when this interview happened! 😅 So, it was nice to see the adult side of this and the work put into it all.

[@GreenScienceBoy]

I love these alternate cuts of Mr Bassman

[@memphiselle1]

Always love seeing this older CEI stuff. I hope everything is going well for you, Aaron.

[@victoriashowbizpizzafan1979]

Wow, I've never seen all of this before! Love it!❤❤

[@madrugavanderlei8320]

I like this channel, I wish there was more content...

[@CEC_K3nnurz]

Wow. Aaron This Is Impressing. I Love The RAE And Own Many Collectible Items From It I Hope You The Best Luck!

[@hunterleach5710]

This is so crazy, imagine if the new rock-afire explosion was still being made today then his inventions would have advanced so much that they could walk and talk and play real instruments that was his main goal , I remember in one video he was looking as far to buy a whole entire Island

[@PizzaTimeFanatic]

Aaron having to explain why his creations won't take over the world when they've already taken over my heart.

[@rayheath9105]

Aaron. I ran a show in 1978 from one of your competitors (in Illinois) and we didn't have near the detail in our movements that you guys had. That took a ton of work and everything is rock solid in sync. Impressive! Did you ever use carts or say with reel to reel?

[@BronsonOsborne]

VERY COOL FRIEND enjoyed this

[@dinothebetatt6733]

I honestly had a feeling he did the voice of Billy Bob. Nonetheless, this is a lot of cool information to take in.

[@fahriakalin5936]

this is the first time ive ever gotten a notification for this channel - is this a rare upload or is youtube just not notifying me ? either way thanks for the upload

[@pamelabrewer3044]

2:16 ah yes the good ole rock-afire.

[@bunnieroots3553]

you may be one of my most dear inspirations to my own artwork. i hope to one day be able to meet you. :,)

[@camdengrady6433]

Cool to see the recording of Mr bassman

[@z34yearsago18]

It's the way he pulled the car up to the curb 😭😭😭

[@General_Stryfe]

I always look forward 2 ur newest posts!!

[@melissageiger71]

1984 is here folks!! I'd give anything to go back to this time.. because it sure has been an empty world without The Rockafire explosion and Showbiz pizza.😥 Our location was Abercorn street Savannah GA ❤️

[@RufusLekin7879]

This is some great stuff, Love it! We're in real trouble if this computer fad wears off 😀

[@seancostelloandfriends]

Amazing

[@Jesse-zl8sf]

this dude is so smart i swear

[@djsimpson3568]

why did the animatronics move faster than they do now

[@therockafire]

Being a new artform, we were still experimenting with the best movement speeds. We slowed down the flow controls so that the characters would look more natural, less manic and not tear themselves up. I cringe when I see hobbyists turn up their flow controls.

[@YBN209]

Cool seeing footage of the beta RAE

[@Bill_Woo]

One of the most remarkable 27 year olds in history. And the most important difference is he doesn't issue platitudes about grand changes to dynamics and "inclusion" and "synergy" trendy buzzwords. No, he creates, invents, calculates, builds, executes. This is the former America that was once the envy of the world. That put men on the moon.

[@jacek-jan]

Fun Fact: Czechs had TV series of time travellers, sent by Central Mankind Brain (supercomputer that replaced all politicians). The trouble is its main part was not properly leveled causing some errors.

[@crazyminecraftgamer1306]

Fatz was huge back then 3:00

[@larrydavid4826]

0:46 Who let Kevin edit this?

[@starrydreamer4697]

[@crazyminecraftgamer1306]

Hey Arron, could you tell me why the decision of changing the beta dook clothes to a space suit? In (1981) and why you didn’t keep the cute owl in the later version of the rockafire explosion?

[@NintendoAsh12]

Hey Aaron I know you’re probably not gonna see this comment but if you do I was just wondering how Is moving doing?

[@therockafire]

Almost Done getting out of Jefferson

[@timmykidkazoo0608]

If you spill soap on your floor, does that make your floor dirty or clean?

[@marquiofhell]

So cool to see how different the world was back in the 80s, before I was even born.

[@NintendoAsh12]

I agree with all of this

William afton is not real. He is a fictional character, so no.
