Finally, the first video from E3 is complete!
And at 43 minutes long, this ended up being a bit more involved than planned. Basically I cobbled together a few of the ideas I had for separate ...

Wow what a week! Had a fantastic time in Los Angeles for E3, from attending the convention itself, to trying out unreleased games and hardware, to simply hanging out with colleagues, friends, and f...

Greetings folks! How goes things? Cuz for me it's an unusual whirlwind of activity, haha. I've mentioned it a few places already (including erm, the title of this post) that I'll be attending E3 20...

So I've been away on an unplanned trip for about a week, but I'm back home now and jumped right into working on this one. Got the review code before I left but yeah, life has been absolutely surrea...

After sourcing not one but TWO new old stock color ink ribbons, I've put together a lil follow-up video regarding the Star NX-2420 Rainbow! This'll go up next Monday as an extra video in between th...

Another of those items I've always wanted to talk about, so here we go.
Gotta love old school speech synths and the fact that this one is contained on an ISA card for use with DOS PCs? Doubl...
YEAH DOS.
YEAH DOT MATRIX PRINTERS.
YEAH, I don't know why I made a half hour video about this. Can't say that was the initial runtime, haha.
But here we are. Turns out I have...
EDIT: This has been updated to the full video now, but still includes the unboxing section!
This video is only the first part of an upcoming LGR episode, but due to...

And thus ends another Edutainment Month. This month seriously flew by, good grief. Will be nice to get back to the usual LGR fare though.
Happy to finally have this game covered as well! Cla...

Okay, this game is debatably edutainment. The built-in teaching aspects can be completely ignored.
And yet its educational qual...

"DO THE NICK CLICK!"
Whatever that means.
Yeah, it's another retro digicam video! And this one is easily the lowest-end one I've covered so far, both in terms of build quality and fea...
One of my favorite real time strategy games from the turn of the millennium. As a huge fan of Age of Empires, this was mind-blowingly fantastic back then.

Say hello to the TWENTY-SEVENTH pack for this game. And it's a strange one.

Always been rather captivated by this machine. Not only was it IBM's first laptop PC and their first with a 3.5" floppy drive, but its industrial design and convertible nature is downright awesome....

So the original SimCity is about to turn thirty years old. Good grief.
Still have such intense memories of playing it at seven years old. And looking back on it, the impact it had on me was ...
EDIT: I've added a new logo intro that I've been experimenting with. May not keep it, but oh well, trying things out! Also added more footage from Computer Chronicles, tweaked and augmented the...
