I am so ready to say goodbye to storage units after renting those for 10 years. It's ridiculous that I've spent about as much on storage fees as it'll take to do this entire building 😩
When it's done this will be an 1,800ft² (167m²) metal climate controlled warehouse kinda thing, acting as both storage for all the LGR stuff and a nice open spa...

Wow, it's been nearly two years since I did one of these episodes. The last one was in January 2024! Finally felt like doing another one so here we go again.
Time for three weird old computer mice! An Aqua Mouse, a PT Cruiser, and an Oberhofer solid wood mouse mentioned in the recent vi...

TWO YEARS ago I reviewed the sequel to Cities Skylines. And it has finally received an expansion! Seemed like the ideal reason to dive back into this thing and see how it might've improved (or not.)
The next three LGR videos are all in various stages of pro...

Spooky greetings! Happy to be back with another thing I've put off for years, found again in storage while moving back home, and dug up way more interesting stuff about its history than I ever intended when I first acquired it.
Taking a look at Screen Toyz from 1994! Which are ...

Greetings and welcome to another LGR convention thing! Can't believe it's been two whole years since I last did a Vintage Computer Festival video like this, but here we are.

Just realized I didn't post this update video here a few weeks back, oops. But yeah, things have certainly progressed a whole lot since then so I wanted to check in real quick.
I am officially moved back home and am fully out of my post-hurricane rental situation. FINALLY! I've spent pr...

Something a little different this time!
I've had an eye out for a nice example of my first "real" stereo system from when I was a teenager for quite a while. And recently one came up for sale still sealed in its original packaging from 25 years ago...

BARCODES! No one gives 'em a second thought, despite them once being exciting cutting edge tech. And that makes them interesting! To me at least.
Especially since there was a whole cottage industry around barcode scanners and interfaces for PCs back in the day. When reading thr...

Can't say this the video I wanted to make this week but here we are. So it goes, right?
The Chaplet Halikan LA-30A is a fascinating machine from the late 1980s, being one of the first laptops to combine a backlit display, hard disk drive,...

Had this in one in the works for a while! I first got the ball rolling in 2023, finally received the thing earlier this year, and I've been working on it off and on in the months since then. So YEAH, it sure is nice to have this one marked off the the list.
So this is a review of the I'...

UPDATE: The final edit here has another minute added and a few other things truncated/re-recorded throughout the video for clarity. The biggest being the section about capture results starting at 16:29.

Finally back with a new video! After getting the flu and bein' all sick for a week this will be coming out a week later than I wanted. Annoying. But I'm feeling much better with only some congestion and a cough remaining, so as soon as I felt half decent I went ahead and finished up this thin...

It's been SIXTEEN years of LGR existing, wow. So this is just thinking back on how it's been, evaluating how it's been going, and how I hope things might go in the future. Especially the last part because things are changing...

Ahh I dunno what it is about this game exactly, but it's one of those that I think about every so often ever since first playing it 20-something years ago. In my mind it's a staple of the early Windows XP days, but it turns out it was much more than that!
Though it was perhaps ...

FINALLY. This is a video that's been on my agenda for five years now, and has actively been worked on between my other projects for the last two months.

EDIT: The video has been tweaked and added onto in a few ways. Mainly adding some more context about the LittleFingers concept being rejected by 262 companies, showing a couple inventions that were seen alongside it at Epcot in 1998, and what happened to its creator Dennis Nusser.
