- FEATURING DIGITISER'S MR BIFFO

I might have a couple of YouTube channels, but I'm generally more comfortable behind the camera. Nevertheless, by the time you read this you might've seen my face pop up - quite literally - in an advert for the HD remaster of R-Type Delta. Not being an actor, I'm still not entirely sure why they asked me to feature in the ad, beyond them needing a middle-aged bloke to sit up in bed and scream like he has just woken up from a bad dream. What I will say is that when you see it... just remember I had to do multiple takes of that shot, and I spent the next week with a bad back.
