0:33 I hear your feedback that the 8-Bit "Back to the Future" music at the start is a little loud for some people. It was there for my usual retrocomputing demographic. Production values have improved a lot since this video's release so please hit Subscribe and you'll see some more fun stuff like this in ... the future... (see what I did there?)
0:47 Apparently his name is pronounced "Tie-tor" not "Tee-tor" as in "TIme TravellOR" though I couldn't find him to confirm or deny
