https://youtu.be/tK6sqxT0ttQHappy 2024! It's the future and that means ROBOTS.1980s robots, of course β which are the best kind! And I cannot be convinced otherwise, ha.

LGR - The Sims 4 For Rent Review
https://youtu.be/XIS8nXYaEpMSilly me thinking that we would make it through 2023 with only one of these expansions, but here we are. Itβs The Sims 4: For Rent, the fifteenth expansion pack! Which sounds like a joke but noooope, it's there are $600 worth of these things now.Thus ends LGR for this year! No video next week as I still have more holiday gatherings going on, and of course New Year...

https://youtu.be/R9_uRLlnXSYChrisstmaaaaas!It's that time of year again, and on LGR that always means Christmas video games.

LGR - Duke Nukem Evercade Collection
https://youtu.be/wUw2fpJmY8IIt's December! And while that normally means Christmas things on LGR, this collection of Duke games was just released and there was no way I wasn't going to cover it.Especially since I got to be involved in making them! A little bit, at least! Turns out that I inadvertently put things in motion regarding the Duke Nukem 1 and 2 remakes included here, since after ...
LGR - Unboxing a Nintendo GameCube!
https://youtu.be/YMiS8C0iQxAAw yeah, it's that time of year again! November has become the month where I travel back a couple decades ago and unbox a sixth generation console. The Xbox and Dreamcast were covered the past two Novembers, and this time around it's the system from back then that I have the least experience with: the GameCube.For reasons discussed in the video, I never really g...
LGR - SimCity 2000 30 Years Later
https://youtu.be/RnWZqfUDXp8FINALLY! It's time for the SimCity 2000 30th Anniversary on LGR. A video that I've been planning for years in one way or another, although the most active work began last spring. Gathering up boxes and releases, diving into books and archives, and generally revisiting the game and my own childhood experiences. It's been a silly amount of fun for me going bac...
LGR - Unboxing and Enjoying a VHS-C camcorder
https://youtu.be/38altPBT_zkBit of a different thing on LGR this time!I had this new old stock JVC camcorder from 20ish years ago and now is the time to finally open it up. It's pretty darned similar to the original camera that I originally used to record LGR back in the day (and the pre-LGR videos as well!) so it was a real treat to experience one basically brand new. I seriously did not expe...

LGR - Cities Skylines II Review
https://youtu.be/B_CN_5m7xqoAhh, finally the sequel to this long-running simulation game from the mid 2010s! If we're lucky maybe that *other* sim game from back then gets supplanted sometime soon too, cuz boy have I gotten tired of covering expansion packs to these things.But yeah, Cities Skylines 2! Itβs a game that irritates, amuses, confuses, impresses, falls short, compels, and repels w...
LGR - Sony Floppy Disk Mavica Printer
https://youtu.be/W6yAbcbgUqIPRINTERS! I'm a sucker for an old printer with nifty features and this one absolutely fits the bill. So here's a laid-back episode all about the lovely little Sony Mavica Printer from 1999.If you saw the recent CompUSA catalog video then yep, you'll know what instigated this purchase. Although in a roundabout way this has been in the works since 2018! Back t...
LGR - The $4,750 HP OmniBook from 1996
https://youtu.be/xlXr37mggUEBack again with a classic LGR retrospective! It's been a good amount of time since I've made a straightforward "here's a cool laptop" video, and while taking some folks through a tour of my collection recently this one happened to stand out to them. So I thought, what the heck, why not finally cover this one?The Omnibook 800CT here has long been one ...
LGR Oddware - Mad Catz Panther XL
https://youtu.be/Fak431cxRxUAhh, it is nice to be back to some of the usual LGR fare! As much as I enjoy the late summer convention season, getting back into my groove always makes me appreciate my day-to-day routine of researching, testing, filming, and editing. And at this point, Oddware is just about as comfy as it gets.So, this right here is the Panther XL by none other than Mad Catz! While th...
LGR Wrap Up - August/September 2023
https://youtu.be/j9SJSr3NyxgGreetings to all $5+ patrons! Whew, it has been quite a month over here.

LGR - The Main VCFMW Video!
https://youtu.be/Q64ILEMgE34And here we go again! As you can see by the runtime this is a FAR more easily digestible video of the trip compared to the vlog, ha.For the most part this is the same type of video I've made about VCF Midwest in previous years, but I tried to mix things up a wee bit by going over some of the prepwork for the show as well as giving a bit of a different take on the co...
LGR Vlogs - Vintage Computer Festival Midwest '23
https://youtu.be/-0irE49HMVcGreetings, folks! First off thank you kindly for your patience. It's been unnerving not having anything new being made or going up the past couple weeks, it truly wigs me out! I like my routine and boy has my routine been upended this month due to the Chicago trip, then getting the virus, and most recently spending all my spare time going through the 7+ hours of foo...
An LGR Update on videos and things and eh
Greetings, folks! It finally happened. Last weekend I came down with The Virus, dang it. Tested positive Monday, so I've been out of commission since then and haven't really felt anything but awful until today. I mean I'm still feeling awful but it's a less intense style of awful, I think. I haven't actually had this nastiness before now, which is kinda wild seeing as I've ...
LGR - CompUSA ads from February 1999
https://youtu.be/QpwoVlYLtMEGreetings, all! In about eight hours from the time of posting I'll be starting my drive up to Chicago, Illinois. I think I'm finally all prepared and packed for VCF Midwest next weekend, and I am pretty darned stoked. And while I'll eventually be making a video about the trip after everything is over, in the meantime here's a simple little episode about ...
LGR - A GPU upgrade for the Bear PC
https://youtu.be/pZlIKjYHxxsJust a quickly-made, simple episode here! I'm in the middle of setting up, testing, preparing, and packing up all of the things that I'm taking to VCF Midwest, and this is one of the projects I really wanted to take care of before leaving six days from now.Not much more to say, really! It's a straightforward "adding a thing to a thing" video, using a...
LGR - The Agfa ePhoto Clik!
https://youtu.be/RpNXb-6tahQAnd here we go, the first LGR camera retrospective in years! I kinda had my fill on these a while back but since then I've collected a good number of a fascinating specimens, and this Agfa ePhoto CL30 Clik has long been at the top of my Want To Cover list. And for whatever reason now felt like the time to do it! It's also sort of a follow-up to the Iomega Clik! ...
LGR - Netpliance π i-Opener π
https://youtu.be/USQxZc9nmtEGreetings! It's been quite a busy week. I returned from my Long Island convention trip on Sunday and immediately got back to work on the projects I left behind earlier in the month. This particular episode is one of those I was laying a bunch of groundwork on before the trip, with the goal being to get enough done beforehand to finish it in a few days once I got bac...
LGR Wrap Up - July 2023

I'm currently in New York for the Long Island Retro show, but had a bit of downtime before the con and figured why not record this with quite the metropolitan backdrop β 20 floors up in Manh...
LGR - Casio CW-50 Thermal CD Printer
https://youtu.be/0UrUr9P21nQRight, so! Got back in town Tuesday and got right to work on a few video projects, none of which are complete yet because they either: need far more time to be completed still, or fell apart entirely due to old tech being... old. Such is life.So I slapped this together real quick since I'm prepping to leave soon for New York! I will be attending Long Island Retro Ga...
LGR - The Sims 4 Horse Ranch
https://youtu.be/y4BZB_7kiIUHORSE RANCH.Another TS4 expansion already, jeez. Probably the last one of the year but ya never can say for sure with this franchise, even nine years later. Straightforward stuff here, you all know the drill.As for what's next, I'm headed outta town for a number of days here to help some family with things and then try and catch my breath next week. Been a busy ...
LGR - SideWinder Force Feedback Pro
https://youtu.be/evwn435x0dMWell this one escalated quickly! Started off as a simple video waxing nostalgic about the SideWinder FFB joystick just showing off a few games, annnnd ended up going down several rabbit holes on gameport adapters, DirectInput, patent trolls, and the quiet demise/resurrection of force feedback flight sticks. Wouldβve had this done several days ago but I kept digging up...
