Got a fun little video for ya! This one is just what it says on the tin: Doom running on a digital camera. Specifically a Kodak DC260 from 1998!
I've been meaning to do this ever since my "Doom on a Calculator" video blew up, but only got o...
Well dang, this pack ended up taking longer to experience than I thought! By the end I had around ten hours of footage to sort through on this one. I've always enjoyed the college-themed Sims packs and this one is no exception, it's got some meat ...

EDIT: The video has been updated to (hopefully) the final version! Mostly minor tweaks and edits, along with a new outro. Lemme know if you see anything wrong though.
Got another couple of videos in the wor...

Got this one finished just in time for tomorrow!
It's been quite an unusual week over here so it ended up taking a bit longer than expected to get this one completed, but y'know, so it goes. Also ended up uncovering an increasingly amusing stor...
Got an early look at this one for ya!
No background music, missing plenty of gameplay from the latter half, but yeah. Mostly there. Will update the embedded video with the finished version tomorrow night, if all goes well.
So this is... a thing! An enjoyably odd thing indeed.
Can't say I'd ever seen this before it was given to me at VCFMW last month. The P5 is a "3D virtual controller" that works a lot like a mouse with a few extra inputs. Bending your finger...
Well then, THIS has been a long time coming!
I'd planned to have this complete for Doom II's 25th anniversary on October 10th, but life happened so it got set back a week. However, I think the extra time paid off since I was able to pr...
Got another LGR classic computer thing for ya!
This one is the Apple Power Macintosh 6100/66 DOS Compatible from 1995. Yeah, it's a hybrid of both PowerPC and x86 architecture that lets you run Mac OS and MS-DOS simultaneously on the same m...
Had a good number of requests to cover this after the most recent donations unboxing, so here we go! Thanks again to David for sending this rarity my way.
Extra Speed, to my knowledge, is the only unauthorized add-on pack to Th...
FINALLY. Like two weeks after launch 😶
I think this is the longest time it's taken me to cover a Sims pack since 2008. So ah, I guess it's fine all things considered. Still, I prefer to get these out much sooner but oh well.
Only ...
Dang, it's been a minute since one of these went up. Last donation unboxing video was all the way back in April! The year of 2019 continues to fly by at an alarming rate.
But yeah, I'll be outta town for a little bit so this is scheduled to...
Greetings folks! Got a lovely retro computer to share with you today. I know, I know, uncharacteristic coming from me but I figured I'd shake things up...
All right so, sure, the Apex 100 is "just" a Turbo XT clone from thirty year...
I've had this thing for I don't know how long now, haha. Simply bought it for the Ferrari branding of course, because Ferrari. And also because it has some beefy specs for the time that allows it to run Windows XP games like a boss.
Yeah I ...
This is a "professional multimedia kit?" Mmkay. Regardless of what the boastful marketing copy says, I think not, haha.
No, this is a cheaply-made 5.25" drive bay device that plugs into a PC's sound card output. It packs some interesting fe...
Welp, this pack exists.

Wasn't able to post this early due to a review embargo, but that has now been lifted!
Ion Fury is something I've been looking forward to getting my hands on ever since first hearing about it at PAX 2015. It's a new game using the same tech ...
Greetings! Welcome to one of those personally unfulfilling weeks of making LGR where all content production bottlenecks behind the scenes. This happens frequently but I decided to do a little write-up about it this time.
Lemme just say that...
Here's the result of the recent Patreon Q&A session! Fifty-something inquiries submitted by patrons on the $5+ tier 👍

Fresh Oddware for ya! This time it's the MobilePlayer from Audible, a digital spoken word player from 1997. Yes, the same Audible known for audiobooks these days. Yet this is from the days of 28.8k dial-up modems and predates the first mass-market...

Got a fun little project to share here: the Monotech NuXT Turbo XT Clone.
It's a very professional-looking MicroATX motherboard featuring a 10MHz 8088 that switches between three clock frequencies on the fly, 640K RAM plus 192K UMB, XT-CF c...
Yeah, so confession time: I've never really done anything with my YouTube rewards. Barely even opened them. Got my 100k play button plaque six years ago and my 1 million at the start of this year. They're nice but I dunno, trophies are weird to me...

If you saw my Computer Reset video earlier in the month then you'll probably recall that we found something pretty incredible: an IBM PCjr with a rare hard disk add-on, crammed into a box labeled Sierra On-Line!
And yeah, turns out...
Another video that's been in the works in some way or another for about a year. Finding the camera itself was the beginning of the journey, but tracking down the software/serial cable package proved a bit trickier. Darn you Sega for selling the tw...

Had this in the works for a couple months now and it's finally done! Computer Reset in Dallas, Texas. Legendary.
This place is mind boggling.
A massive warehouse of vintage computers. Seemingly endless retro hardware and software tha...
It has been a long, long time since we've done an LGR Q&A. Let's change that! With a whole decade of the show having just passed by it seems like the perfect time to me.
Ask anything you want and I'll answer it honestly! Within reason o...
EXCITEMENT.
Fulfilling a lifelong dream, I am now the proud owner of a 1980 Atari Missile Command cabaret cabinet 😀😀😀
So here's a quick video about it!
I've got future plans for the machine on LGR of course, but I was...
Wow.
A decade of LGR has officially occurred.
And I had no idea what to do, haha. So I've made a kind of retrospective video using the original VHS-C camcorder that I used back in 2009! And yes this a 4K video in a 4:3 aspect ratio, ...
How many Sims 4 packs is this now, 177 or something? Ha.
Anyway yeah, been working on this since Sunday. It is... an expansion pack! Yep. Not great, not terrible. Maybe a 3.6. Like a chest x-ray.
Cool cool, sooooo with that outta the...
Got a pretty straightforward LGR here video for Monday! It's Atari's Tempest from 1981, but in sixth-scale playable replica form. Love the details on this thing. That coin door, ahh!
I was pretty excited to set this up once I got home from E...
