The LGR Woodgrain 486 Saga
Added 2023-03-29 04:42:52 +0000 UTCSo yep, this is an experiment!
As mentioned in the last Patreon post, I was considering making a kind of compilation video for this coming week where I'll be away. But I wasn't entirely sold on just a straight-up clips show with no context. So I added context!
This is the complete saga of the LGR Woodgrain 486, from initial build to the latest updates, with new segments along the way. There's a fresh intro, new bits with anecdotes and details in between every old video, and a whole new update section at the end going over the bits I haven't covered in other videos before.
I'll be adding chapters to the final upload to make it easier to navigate what's new and what's old, but yeah. Here's the early edit! And now I'm off to Milwaukee for MGC. Hope to see some of y'all there :)

I actually tried! Unfortunately with a seven segment display, LGR looks more like “L6A”

2023-04-03 15:58:08 +0000 UTCwell, damn. 5 hours of LGR. I couldn't be happier!

2023-03-31 22:14:53 +0000 UTCThis is so terrible I love it! I built an OptiPlex sleeper once and I felt the same way you did. I would like to build an old computer with old components. I feel like it would be interesting in its own way.
2023-03-31 15:06:38 +0000 UTCHey Clint. That's a really cool idea. I did all my housework while your video was on my screen. It was so chilled! :)

2023-03-30 23:25:31 +0000 UTCNgl, I do go through the entire playlist of the Woodgrain 486 saga, even that odd but equally great Woodgrain Pentium era on a semi regular basis, so this even if it is 5 hours is going to be really great, I’m sure.

2023-03-30 19:26:44 +0000 UTCMan I’ve watched that original video so many times I was “singing along”. “On this show it’s not tacky, it’s classy”. Gold.

2023-03-30 03:21:03 +0000 UTCThat'd be quite fun as a future project! Used to do that kinda thing all the time when YouTube still had in-video annotations
LGR
2023-03-30 02:38:34 +0000 UTCYes indeed, you and a few other folks kept recommending it so I figured it was worth a try! Looking forward to it! Definitely flag me down if our paths cross.

2023-03-30 02:36:47 +0000 UTCGreat concept I think. I'm always curious about past projects of yours, llike the NuXT or Altair clone for example. I always rewatch the longer video in the background and this is perfect for me. Now hear me out, "LGR Rewind" series with VH1 pop-up videos style videos in the same vain as this, with pop-up updates on the project, behind the scenes comments, and insights on the video.

2023-03-30 01:40:43 +0000 UTCI love that my suggestion at VCF was successful! I hope you enjoy the starch out of MGC. Maybe I’ll get the chance to see you there and get to find out first hand how you’re enjoying it!

2023-03-29 23:09:56 +0000 UTCCertainly longer than I anticipated going into this, haha
LGR
2023-03-29 20:23:20 +0000 UTCI love that its a 5 hour long saga!

2023-03-29 18:37:30 +0000 UTCChapters will be added to final upload :) And these *were* a bunch of shorted videos initially. This is a compilation of all the videos in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbBZM9aUMsjGHvNtHfPOJauZCSVShKA0G

2023-03-29 18:35:09 +0000 UTCI'm all up for this, but I have a question(!) : 4hrs 1 minute, what is that cool clock with the falling tetris-esque squares?
BobH
2023-03-29 17:58:56 +0000 UTCThanks, Clint! Long videos are great! (So are short ones.) And I know how to use the "pause" function if I need a break, so I'm good there too.

2023-03-29 16:56:33 +0000 UTCHonestly I've watched every single video already but I'd love to rewatch them so this seems like a good time to do so. I'll wait for the final upload though since I'd prefer chapters.

2023-03-29 15:29:54 +0000 UTCCan't wait to watch! Also, I miss the old intro :) (both the og and cover) I do like the new intro as well though

2023-03-29 14:22:00 +0000 UTCDang, I'm gonna need an intermission half way thru to head over to the soda fountain 😂

2023-03-29 12:29:28 +0000 UTCIndeed a saga! I watched the original episode a couple times so this should be fun.

2023-03-29 11:41:29 +0000 UTCCan we please get more footage of the weird gyroscopic game / ride we saw in your prior visit to Chicago?

2023-03-29 09:15:50 +0000 UTCDamn, 5 hours! I’ll be needing chapters to highlight the new bits otherwise that’s a little too much for me.

2023-03-29 07:49:43 +0000 UTCI like the idea of bits and bobs in between episodes to break them up. The intro was spot on.

2023-03-29 05:23:15 +0000 UTCI like the idea. I wouldn't be too worried about the length. I listen to Game Sack and AVGN compilations that are hours long without an6 issues. They seem to perform well too. I'll state the obvious.... he sure to add timestamps and chapters.
50_SHADES_OF_BEIGE
2023-03-29 05:14:13 +0000 UTC5 hours are a little daunting. Especially without chapters. What was the reasoning behind making such a long video instead of a bunch of shorter ones?
