Greetings! For the second Christmas 2022 video it's an Oddware episode! Or something resembling it. More like the concept loosely interpreted through a clone. It's definitely an odd assortment of holiday items, that much is certain.
Hope you enjoy, and I plan to have one more seasonally...

It's December! And that means Christmas games on LGR. So here's an early edit of the first video of the season. 🎄
Yep, just a simple if slightly different episode this time, cuz y'know. December. Slow time of year for videos, super busy time for real life. This episode in particular ...

Happy Thanksgiving to those of y'all in the US!
And how thankful are you for the Sega Dreamcast? Because I suppose I'm feeling thankful for its existence each year, ha. I got this unused boxed example some years ago and (for whatever reason) now it's finally time to open it up and test ...

Greetings, all! I've got an early version of the next LGR episode for you here. It's finally time to upgrade to Windows 95 – on the Woodgrain 486! Unboxing, installing, and enjoying the 1995 experience. This is very much in the vein of my previous 486 OS upgrade videos, directly following u...

Here's your $5+ Patron Wrap Up video for October '22! Not as many questions came in last month, but that's fine. Feel free to leave anything in the comments below you'd like answered next time. Have a good one, and thanks so much for your ongoing support!

Wow it's been over half a year since I did one of these. Since before I moved!
And yes, there was a broken version of this that briefly went up earlier. It had audio/video issues so I had to edit and re-upload. Should be good once YT is done processing the new file :)

Greetings, folks! So Halloween happened. And I spent it thrifting! Or really, I spent the last five months visiting thrift stores off and on and slowly gathering enough footage to assemble into a new Thrifts episode... But I did also do a good chunk of thrifting and editing this vide...

Fresh Oddware! This time it's the BTO Plusdeck, a cassette player that fits into a 5.25" drive bay. It's controlled through the serial port and Windows 98 and it's... actually kind of awesome, ha.
I've been intending to cover this thing for years now and for whatever reason, now was fin...

Greetings, folks! Time for another forgotten relic of the late 90s on LGR. This one is all about the elusive Gateway Astro, a nifty little system from 1999 that was part of the whole post-iMac resurgence in all-in-one computer designs. The thing is even more fascinating than I thought it'd be...

Greetings $5+ patrons! My apologies for not getting one of these out last month, things got a little outta hand in LGR land in September. So here's a twofer!
Thank you for your patience, and I'm looking forward to your questions for next time as always :)

Well then! It sure has been a long time since I've done one of these list videos. Seems the last one was back in 2017. Jeez.
So yep, after being reminded about this series of videos a few times recently, I felt inspired to finally make this as a simpler video for this week. I actually h...

EDIT: IT'S DONE.
So this isn't done yet. Despite working on it daily for 8 days, it's currently about 98% there! But at this point I've been looking at all this footage for long enough that I needed to take a step back and take in the whole thing as a whol...

I'm back from the trip! As of Friday I am home again from the 12-hour-long drive back and forth to the VCF Midwest show, and after a solid day mostly spent sleeping from sheer exhaustion I started working on this video to try and get back into the groove of things.
This is actually the ...

Greetings, all! I'm currently on the way to exhibit at the VCF Midwest show in Illinois and, naturally, prepwork for that took up most of my time this past week. But I still wanted to get a quickly-made video out and this bit of silline...

Back again with another weird mouse video! And of course the selection is a bunch of nonsense, from a Pfizer product, to a dual-wheeled '4D' mouse, to a piece of ammunition that very much requires plugging in. Downright silliness.
As usual with these, it's a bit of a filler video while ...

It is once again time for some coverage of an exciting newish product in the retro scene: the MiSTercade. An excellent drop-in hardware emulation solution for JAMMA arcade machines!
Back when I got my Raiden II cabinet, I mentioned that I planned on taking a look at this one whenever I ...

Greetings folks, it's time for more Oddware! It's the first one filmed completely at the new place so there are some teething issues, mostly regarding audio that I'm still sorting out since I'm setting up several recording areas at the same time and none of them have been full treated for s...
Lemme know if y'all can use an audio-only version of this! I'm not exactly sure well how that works though, as the only option I see is to make "audio only" posts on Patreon app, which doesn't seem ideal.

Greetings, y'all! And wow, this is my first time covering a Sims pack in over a year... admittedly kinda weird to return to it. The time away certainly helped though as I conclude this reviewing experience significantly less irritable compared to how I felt in 2021, heh.
And yep, this ...
UPDATE: After re-watching the video a few times I became increasingly dissatisfied with the last 3/4 of the video. Far too much echo in that room that made it hard to understand me, plus I was rambling a bit more than I would like and didn't have my thoughts fully formed. So I redid that whole section! Version 2 of the video is now embedded and linked, with everyth...

Greetings, all! I got this one finished up today just in time for getting posted tomorrow, so here's a slightly early upload for you. Not as early as I prefer to have things done, but here we are. As mentioned in the previous post, I was outta town for the weekend and wasn't able to ...

Phew, I was actually able to get this one done this week! Just barely! Finished the render late this morning and went ahead and made it public, since it's already Friday and I'm about to leave again for another weekend trip. No conventions this time, just seeing some family and friends for th...

Well then. Sure didn't take long for me to grab a new arcade machine after moving, ha. So let's take a nice look at it here on LGR, because I am super stoked to have this thing! ...And also because a significant chunk of my home was totally closed off last week since popcorn ceilings were bei...

Greetings, all! I've got a bit of a different LGR Thing this week, all about an early portable electronic calculator that I find wildly appealing both inside and out.
And I was really hoping it would be fully working, or I would be able to repair it, but alas! It's not quite fu...

Packard Bell! It's a company name that always instills happiness in my soul, despite my brain knowing they weren't... eh y'know. Always quality.
Whatever! I enjoy them and I'm always tempted by machines I've never used before. So I imported some nifty late '80s PB XT clones fro...

More weird mouse devices! On the agenda this episode are cakes, cursors, and balls.
I hadn't planned on making this a recurring thing but hey, it's fun and y'all have asked for more of them. And I've got plenty more so here we are! Plus it makes for a decent...
So this is different! I've had this sealed Record-a-Call 675 answering machine for a while, if nothing else due to its woodgrain and brushed metal aesthetic that I really dig. And you can't beat new old stock, right? But I've never really had much reason to do anything with it... until now! 2022-05-27 01:38:18 +0000 UTC View Post
Thrifting! Finally! Sure has been a while, good grief. Slow goings at nearby thrift stores lately, but while sorting through my existing footage this week I decided I had enough content to edit down into a new episode in-between packing and unpacking at the new house.
And no, despite w...
