Not at all and that's not what I'm implying. What I really meant was that it would just be nice to shock both yourself and your in-place audience, while at the same time bringing new viewers in. Bringing new viewers in, say, for example, from the Atari console side who are interested in your take on some action games (or whatever), might in turn next time be themselves shocked by your "standard" coverage of older computer games. In other words, if you want to expand your audience, the best experiment is not only to try and find a different computer game, but both a different platform and game style. You mix things up enough and you'll bring in all types of viewers rather than just those who would typically be only interested in "Amiga computer games" for instance.

And even if it doesn't work particularly well for whatever reason (from an added viewers standpoint), at the very least it will increase your personal videogame knowledge and perspective, which is always a plus and will pay dividends later.
