    OSW Update for September!

    flair-arn-3-small

    Hey hep cats! Here’s what’s on tap for OSW this month:

    • NEXT EPISODE: Will be WCW World War 3! Hopefully by the end of the month or first week or so of October. We’ve recorded the episode (before SummerSlam 2016 actually!) and it went great! I’ll post out when I’m on the home straight recording (i.e. a day or two in advance)
    • Super OSW 64: Coming next month! It’s another belter of a show! I’ve finalised the setlist but you can request tracks for the next show in the comments section here: Super OSW Level 9
    • YouTube: I’ve re-edited SummerSlam 2016 for YT but it’ll probably take a month to clear. Fall Brawl went up earlier this month! If you’re wondering, back in 2014 we spent a scary few months going back and forth with WWE. What came of it is we can use WWE content, but they won’t help us with YouTube, so we have to fight YT/explain to them the situation every time. They slowly allow them!
    • Shoutout to Rob McGrath for the awesome Flair/Arn figures!

    We’ve started our film reviews on NoggerU, our first is Super Mario Bros (1993)! You can check it out here!

    Anyhoo, thank you for reading and for being so supportive. It’s tremendously motivating and gives me a lot of confidence being crazy over OSW! Any questions feel free to ask below 🙂
    See ya in the funny pages!

  • OSW August Update!

    OSW August Update!

    SunnyIYH11

    • Next episode will be SummerSlam 2016! Aiming for release around Saturday 27th Aug. It’ll be myself and V1, he’s keen to chat about the brand split 🙂
    • I’d love to cover NXT but it’s on the day beforehand SSlam, doing an ep means I don’t sleep for a few days, I can’t do a week without sleep! I’ll write up my thoughts on it when I watch it 🙂
    • YouTube: The last week has been super sweet as we’ve been able to get Royal Rumble ’92 and SummerSlam ’92 up! I’m just working on getting full-screen versions vetted instead of the windowed vids. Next on the list is WCW Fall Brawl ’95, SummerSlam 2015 & ’16 (when it’s ready, lol)
    • Audio Podcast: I put up the mp3 of my NXT Dallas Review on the feed, and Fall Brawl should be up v soon 🙂 You can check it out on iTunes or Android 🙂
    • Super OSW 64: The next bank holiday won’t be until next month but I’m keen to get the wheels rolling on Level 10! Request your videogame music tracks here (and also where you’re from so I can give you a shoutout!) OSWreview.com/super-osw-64-level-9
    • The response for NoggerU has been amaaazing! Seriously you’ve no idea how grateful I am. Over the last year my time became very limited, meaning we could only get about 4 episodes out per year (seriously – X7 was in October!). Setting up a patreon was a way so I could spend more time editing the show and thanks to NoggerU there’ll be a new free OSW roughly every month! Somewhere between every 4-6 weeks. It’s an amazing feeling getting breathing space to do my favourite thing in the world (make more OSW!). We’ve done the show pretty much the same way for the last 5 years (minus the Rock Band mic in a popcorn tub!) so it’s a bit of a shock to the system. Re:Extra stuff, I’m reducing hours working my real job so to thank people paying my bills, I gotta give back the only way I know how, additional videos and physical stuff in the post! I’ve more NoggerU updates including what 3-man review we’re doing next on the site!
    • I got a new desk! It’s a graphite corner desk from Piranha. It has a grill underneath, is that for cable tidying? That isn’t news in itself (lol) but I had help from you guys getting it! Piranha (UK) don’t deliver to Ireland so I asked around twitter if anyone’s in Northern Ireland, a dozen people immediately wrote back, Alan said he’d a garage (or “car hole”, la-de-da Mr. French man!) shipped it to him and had a courier pick it up. Just put it together last night. Thanks to all the lovely Nordies who offered 🙂 Shoutout to Alan @Mooreso1981!

  • OSW July Update!

    OSW July Update!

    Slamboree.1995.Jimmy FS

    Hey guys! Here’s the scoop, milkshakes!

    • I’m editing Fall Brawl, I’ve still got 6 editing sessions to do before it’s finished. It’ll be about 10 days but I’ll let everyone know when I’m on the home straight. Thanks for being so patient! It’s an absolute behemoth of WrestleMania IX levels — current edit is about 2 hours long!
    • The response for NoggerU (our patreon) has been amaaazing! We’ve done OSW pretty much the same way for the last 5 years (minus the popcorn tub used to hold 1 rockband mic!) so it’s a bit of a shock to the system! Seriously you’ve no idea how grateful I am. It means I can reduce my hours working on not-OSW and more time editing! It’s my dream job 😀
    • NoggerU is so I can get more OSW out quicker (I’m hoping to have new episodes every 4-6 weeks). And thanks for the kind words about our WWE Countdown review! The priority over the next 2 weeks is getting Fall Brawl out, then I’ll start the wheels turning on rewards (including 500+ Nogger U cards!) and Jay film reviews. Please be patient as I basically have to create a small shipping company!
    • Actually haven’t seen the guys since the NoggerU launch, I told Steve we can get extra patties on our Eddie Rockets burger! (the Smokestack — try it!)
    • My OSW talk in UCD on Tuesday went really well; I just talked about getting a fanbase on YT/FB/Twitter, pitfalls etc. I never realised just how much we swear until watching a bit of Samurai Cop with a room full of teenage and adult women! Randomly bumped into a Nogger afterwards! Hey Connor!
    • YouTube-wise I’m concentrating on getting full-screen episodes up which take a bit longer. WrestleMania X7 went up last month, and currently working on Royal Rumble 92!
    • I haven’t seen Final Deletion but I’m dying to. I might wait until after Fall Brawl is released/I see the guys.
    • Latest film reviews are Superman vs Batman (Extra Long, Still Blah edition!) and The Conjuring 2 (Great!)

    Back to Fall Brawl! See ya in the funny pages!

  • OSW update for June!

    OSW update for June!

    Fall.Brawl.1995flairFS

    • The next episode, WCW Fall Brawl 95 later this month, roughly mid-June. EDIT: AROUND THE START OF JULY. SORRY GUYS 🙁 There’s a ton of splicey, it’ll be one of the biggest episodes we’ve done! It gobbles up all my free time after work so it’ll take a few more weekends to complete, wish I could spend more time on it! I’ll update everyone when I’m on the home straight editing 🙂

    • Super OSW 64: I’ll be doing another live videogame music show on this coming bank holiday Monday, 3-5pm BST! Had a whopper response already, you can request a track in the comments section of our last show: OSWreview.com/super-osw-64-level-8

    • Vimeo: Every OSW episode is on OSWreview.com/episodes! To avoid WWE’s sniffing dogs I’ve made them private on vimeo, this’ll make sure they all stay up (fingers crossed!) Lemme know if you’ve any trouble viewing the eps – we’ve a new dedicated server so it should be smooth as rich creamery butter 🙂

    • YouTube: WWE are taking a while to allow more older episodes to YT but in the meantime, WrestleMania X7 will be out in all it’s glory in a couple weeks! Hope you’ve been enjoying the snippets of older episodes being put up in the meantime. Latest one is OSWreview.com/top-5-worst-foreigner-stereotypes

    • The three of us will be at NXT Dublin on Tuesday June 14th! Come say hi and grab a pint with us!

    • We’ve no other appearances booked for 2016, but thanks to @TheBradGimmick of @GimmickTree  we’ll be doing a live review show at WRESTLECON 2017! Here’s the announcement video! We’re incredibly stoked about this!

    • We’re a bit low on tees and won’t be restocking for a while but you can check out our sweet, sweet merch at the UK/Europe store  and The US store!

    Alrighty better get back to work! Smell ya later!

    OSW Update for May!

    08 WCW Arc B
    Pics by the amazing Carl Jenkins!

    Hey yo! Here’s what’s coming up with OSW this month:

    • We’re recording the next part of the WCW Dungeon of Doom story arc with FALL BRAWL 95 Tuesday (17 May)! Absolutely decimated for free time so I’ll be spending my weekends doing this; probably out around the 2nd week of June – will let you know when we’re on the home straight for editing 😀 It’s gonna be so incredible! SOOOO much good badness to enjoy/give out about!

    • A new edition of Super OSW 64 went up last week! Really happy with the show, tons of awesome videogame music. We’re actually nearly full with requests for Level 9 – suggest tracks in the comments section here!

    • With YouTube – currently hassling WWE to allow me to post the full-screen version of WrestleMania X7, should be up in about 2 months. Til then I’ll be uploading shorter snippets and window’d versions of previous episodes in chronological order (into 1989 episodes now!) to keep the channel ticking over until WWE allow the proper full-screen versions. Latest is the WBF retrospective! You can check ’em all out here!

    • OSW turned FIVE last week! Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes. You can see the post here, filled with 10 lesser-known facts about OSW! (wow, I almost wrote WBW there!)

    • To kick off year 6 of OSW we made a HUGE announcement for 2017! Actual one-in-a-lifetime stuff, thanks to much to @TheBradGimmick of @GimmickTree . Pretty hilarious to have Bill Apter with the announcement considering we just put him through the ringer for the PWI awards at Starrcade 94!

    • To commemorate the milestone we brought out our original blue Macho shart! You guys work super-fast but it’s available in mmmmmmmmost sizes in the UK  and  The US!

    • I asked what your first episode of OSW was (on facebook and on twitter) and most peeps who replied started watching during the final few Hulkamania Era eps to around the Arquette Trilogy (eps ~26-34), particularly WrestleMania IX. Good times!

    • Latest written review is WWE Payback which you can find here!

    Until next time lads, see you in the funny pages!

  • OSW April update!

    OSW April update!

    Burns
    Ooh, sounds delish! Let me just toss some jeans on…

    • Save 90 minutes this Saturday, 8pm GMT! We’re back with episode 56, WCW STARRCADE ’94 baby! It’s going to be bollocks! If you want a refresher on what episodes we’re covering in ourNew Story Arc: The trailer’s now out! Thanks for the amazing response 😀

    • I was back for round 2 on the radio talking Death in Videogames! Basically telling everyone how amazing games are. Chatting morality, death as a setting/character/motivating factor, and gushing about how death can be used so effectively in videogames. It’ll be up on the audio feed during the week. You can listen to part 1 now! OSWreview.com/death-in-videogames

    • After Starrcade is released I’ll get working on the next Super OSW 64 (my videogame music show!). I’ll put up a thread closer to the time for your music requests 🙂

    • If you’re wondering I didn’t cover WrestleMania 32 because I could barely get through it the first time! I can’t watch it again to take notes and spend 25 hours editing it just to shit all over it. It torpedo’d after the great women’s match. So I’ve been working on Starrcade instead. I did a video review the excellent NXT Takeover Dallas!

    • I’ve been getting window’d versions of older episodes up on YouTube, until WWE allow the proper versions, just to have something up on YT! Latest is the fullscreen version of episode 3, our Macho Man Randy Savage tribute vid.

    • The black FIGHT card tee is back in stock in UK but we’re sold out of a few sizes in the US! Clicky for our US Store, UK Store!

    Yo yo! Here’s what’s going down with OSW this month:

    • OSW Q&A: Part 1 is up! (watch here, listen on iTunes, Android) We recorded part 2 (wrestling) which’ll be released between episodes.

    • New Story Arc: The trailer’s now out! Thanks for the amazing response to it, we’re dying to get stuck in. It’s like
    OSW in 2015: Wouldn’t mind watching some decent wrestling for a change
    OSW in 2016: Where’s the bollocks?!

    • Golden Noggers: 2 video Passes have been completed but I want to get it perfect before release, which should be over the next couple of days. Thanks to William Creeden, who’s graciously editing the video portion for the 3rd year in a row!

    • Next OSW episode: I’m trying hard to get it released by the end of the month, difficult with work & personal commitments. Wish I could dedicate more time doing OSW! I’ll let everyone know when the first video pass is completed (i.e. when I’ll be able to lock down a release date).

    • MEET YOUR BOYS! We’ll be in Belfast for Scott Steiner‘s Q&A this coming Thursday! (24th March, Tix here)! We need to questions to ask him, pls comment below with your Qs! He’s also bringing Magnus along, which is pretty cool! We’ll be saying hello to the audience so you know who we are, we’ll mostly be drinking at the bar chatting with you guys 🙂

    So to recap: Tuesday new trailer, next weekend Golden Noggers, end of the month new OSW episode! Any questions, just ask below!

    OH HAI MARKS! Hope you enjoyed our review of THE ROOM with Tommy Wiseau! It was a blast to record. Our first proper review with new audio equipment! (e835 Sennheisers and a Zoom H6 handy recorder). Next up is our Golden Nogger Awards and Q&A session! Here’s what’s coming up on OSW:

    • Q&A: Over the next couple of days. I’m finalising the Golden Noggers audio at the moment and then sorting the Q&A audio.

    • We recorded the first ep of our new story arc! It went fantastic. I’ll edit together a reveal trailer over the next week!

    • THIS SUNDAY (28th Feb): The three of us will be at ICW in Dublin at the Academy! Would love to meet up with any fans going!

    • Golden Noggers: Hopefully next weekend (~6th March) …maybe!

    • In about a month our first part of the story arc will drop (work will start after GN & Q&As are sorted)

    • Thursday March 24th: Your boys Jay, V1 & OOC will be introducing SCOTT STEINER in Belfast! You can nab tickets to Inside the Ropes here! It’s gonna be emotional! Looking forward to having pints with you guys, was the best part of the Ric Flair gig last year!

    • Audio-wise, I’ve sent The Room to be uploaded to the feed; then Part 2 of Death in Videogames!

    • Anything else? Super OSW 64 and Metal Gear Solid 4 review are on the backburner for the moment, Q&A/GN/new OSW are the priority. I watched a few horror films recently so a couple of written reviews will be going up soon.

    OSW Update for December!

    iwajapanKOTDM

    Yo! Hope you had an amazing Christmas! Or at least ate too much and slept a lot, which is what everyone can hope for. Here’s the scoop on OSW:
    • Myself and the boys recorded the 2nd (well technically 3rd) Tattoo review, IWA King of the DeathMatch ’95, last weekend! I used new equipment to record it but I’m running into trouble with syncing issues, so I’m having to sync it manually which is horrific! It should be out next weekend (~2nd Jan).
    • Afterwards we’ll do our annual Golden Noggers & Q&A session celebrating 2015 in OSW! And after that we’ll start a new storyline. Since there’s a few vids before that, we haven’t decided on what it’ll be. We’ll be choosing an arc from this thread: OSWreview.com/what-should-we-cover-next!
    •     The Dirty Lee sign is Big Sammy (with Ben in the what barrrr shart beside him!). So awesome seeing so much love/signage at the event. Sadly I don’t have the time to get an NXT video review up but it was a great show.
    • I have another radio slot for a Super OSW 64!     Level 7 is happening next week! I’ve no specific air time but the podcast version should be available on Wednesday. I’m currently finalising the track list, you can request a track here: OSWreview.com/super-osw-64-level-7-requests
    • Got to watch a couple films over the Xmas break, written up a few new reviews! Latest one is Inside Out!

    So what’s in the future for OSW:
    VIDEO:
    IWA King of the Deathmatch (Saturday)
    Q&A
    Golden Noggers year end awards (Voting will start soon after IWA KOTDM is released)
    Part 1 of next storyline

    AUDIO:
    Super OSW 64 Level 7 (Wednesday)
    Jay interview talking Death in Videogames
    Legend of Zelda concert interview + music
    Super Rick & Morty music show

    So from your boys at OSW, hope you had a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn & dignified Ramadan 🙂

  • OSW Update for November!

    OSW Update for November!

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]HardcoreHomecoming2005[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

    Update 28 Nov: Our first of two Tattoo reviews will be the original Hardcore Homecoming! It was the same weekend of WWE’s first ECW One Night Stand featuring some of the same wrestlers! Deak said it’s best viewed with a couple of drinks with friends, so that’s what we’ll do! Myself, OOC and V1 will watch the PPV as-live and give our running commentary/thoughts, and I’ll sync it to the video afterwards. This will be recorded over the weekend so I’ll need a couple evenings to make it perfect. Aiming for Friday 4th Dec.

    • Survivor Series 2015: Since we’re recording this week I’ve no time do a video review this year but I’ve given my thoughts on it: OSWreview.com/wwe-survivor-series-2015

    • Super OSW 64 Level 6 dropped last week! Jay’s videogame music radio show. Thank you for the wonderful feedback about it! Featuring music from Undertale, Killer Instinct, Crash Bandicoot, Jet Set Radio… 😀 If you haven’t listened to it yet, clicky OSWreview.com/super-osw-64-level-6

    • I wrote up a blog for Irish Academy about improving your content and getting more eyes on it, from my experience doing OSW for the last 4 years! I called it “How to get a million views per month”, which if you’ve seen that one video we have on YouTube, you know already 😛

    Irish Academy is a PR college, founded by Ellen Gunning, who does a show called Mediascope at Dublin City FM (the same radio station that broadcasts Super OSW 64). The blog came about after appearing on her show – One of her guests cancelled at the last minute, Ellen asked me to host the programme instead (as she’s well-versed in Mobile Journalism already) and I picked her brains about the topic. If you’d like to hear me in a completely different setting, the episode is available on Soundcloud (clicky!), my portion starts at 6 minutes in and lasts for the rest of the show.

    • Next Videogame video – MGS 4! Currently being edited. I did ask V1 about MGS5 and he hasn’t played it in weeks, he’s still strung out on Destiny! Damn those weekly drops!

    • Currently playing through Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong. It’s magic (but I was sold on it before ever double-clicking the launch icon!) when I’m done with it I’ll write up a review. Latest film review is the newest Bond movie, Spectre, featuring Batista! OSWreview.com/reviews

    • Mick Foley gig #2 review – the Mickster returns to the scene of the crime! http://oswreview.com/foley-gig-2/ . If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, his 2012 Dublin gig was the worst gig we’ve ever been to.

    • YouTube: WWE/Flintstones Crossover and Hell in a Cell 2014 are now available again (HIAC is the one with our Susan Komen rant, every Cena vs Orton match, and LESBIAN POLLEN (MIIIIIIIIIIIND GAMES!) Currently working on getting the rest of the X7 story arc up, so next is No Way Out 2001, Final Nitro and X7.

    • Our What Bar sharts are back in stock in UK & US, if you’re thinking of buying tee (thank you!) maybe hold off for like a week or so 😉
    UK: SquaredCircle.com/category/t-shirts-partners. US: MerchNow.com/catalogs/Squared-Circle-Clothing

    • We’ll choose our next storyline arc around Christmas time from suggestions here: OSWreview.com/what-should-we-cover-next

    And remember, a winner is you!
