LGR Thrifts - Episode 47

I initially read your typo as "Star-Shrek TNG," but then wondered whether we'd be better off with Shrek as the captain or the chief engineer! "I'm givin' 'er all she's got, Captain! *FRRRRT*"

Bryan McIntosh

Fantastic, thank you for the link!

LGR

Awesome episode :) Star-Strek TNG on VHS tapes would be cool to have

Uncleawesome

Whoa, did not expect that twist in the middle, LGR Convenes Episode 1

Asaf Sagi

The "Witchcraft" recording is actually from the series "Lights Out." This particular episode is from 1938 and is called "The Chicken Heart." It's about a piece of chicken heart being kept alive in a laboratory that keeps growing until it consumes the entire world. Here is the script: https://www.genericradio.com/show/ITQXONWHS

Mighty Jabba's Collection

That's similar to what happened to mine back in the day. Used it so much the left mouse button wore down, both on the plastic and the switch underneath

LGR

I absolutely loved that mouse too. Had two of them. I still do have one but it’s plastic around the buttons cracked long ago so it doesn’t click nicely anymore. Great episode :)

Andrew Kirkby

Hopefully things continue to improve so that they're more common again! Really unsure how things will progress over this next year, so I had to jump on this one when I had the chance

LGR

Agreed! It'd be amazing with just a couple extra buttons.

LGR

Nice to know! Seems like a station with some personality, there were some creative ad reads and station idents from them also on the tape.

LGR

What I played continues throughout the rest of side two! It does begin by saying that it's "part two" of a radio play, but it's not a musical. There are no musicals recorded on either side.

LGR

Thanks, I'll address those!

LGR

Yep!

LGR

im sure i had one of them globes when i was a kid so cool

James Clare

It looks like you did not actually play the witch craft part... it looks like side 2 of that reel begins with "part two," which I guess is that musical. The "witch craft" must come after that.

Kenny Ketner

Is that turntable slip mat the same pattern as the carpet in The Shining??

watch to the end :)

evistre

Great episode! A few things I noticed though; there's a single frame of black at 11:11 and some audio glitches at 12:07, 12:17, and 13:25

LevyNeptune

NGL I'd dive into that Volvo HR manual in a heartbeat

MrFortyFive

The Atari 800xl was my first computer... and I remember the box like it was Christmas. :) heh. I miss the days when computers were for geeks. :)

James Taylor

What about the witchcraft tape???

KWHP was an indie FM station in suburban Oklahoma City back during the 60s and 70s. These days, it's frequency has been taken over by sports talk.

Michael Kerpan

Would've grabbed it myself if I didn't already have one. Classic machines, always loved their design!

LGR

The humans aren't doing what the math says. The humans must be broken.

moosemaimer

hah! wow.. that's awesome you found the Quantex PC at the game expo! Man, it's been sooooo long since I've been to a convention :-/ Really miss it

Evan B

so I don't really care for old keyboards but HNNNNGGGG that mouse... it just needs the side buttons

moosemaimer

I love the look of those Compaqs with the curves on the front. That's the way our first Pentium system looks and it just reminds me of Need for Speed II SE, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Sim City 3000. I also love that user find of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon with just the MicroProse and Chris Sawyer logos on it. I had that and the original Corkscrew Follies expansion pack. I haven't seen them in ages and all I really find now are the Infogrames or Atari versions.

Don't forget: the magic words are Klaatu barada necktie.

Great episode bud! That Save the Machines booth was awesome - if I was there that Gateway 486 would have been mine. Spent many weekends in my teens lusting after some version of that computer in the old Gateway 2000 catalogs. 😀

Joon Choi

Hot Dang that thrifting music makes me happy! Awesome finds Clint!

Mat Cooper

Just missing the AC adapter and video cables, so it was sold untested and I guess priced accordingly. Someone bought it quickly as it was gone the next day!

LGR

Great video!! love these!

James Clark

Cool episode! It's always nice when there is a change in setting, and that Con looked pretty fun

Hernando Heilbron

I gasped out loud when I saw the price for the SNES. There HAS to be something wrong with it, no way would something so recognizable go for so cheap now.

aetherspoon

Definitely! I'll probably go again next year and actually plan things out, this was very much spur of the moment since it was so close

LGR

Haha, that wouldn't surprise me. Boldly going where no VHS set has gone before.

LGR

someone out there is scrambling around looking for their usb-c cable

SupaPhly

The Microsoft WheelMouse was my favorite too!

Steve Lovelace

Dang i've never heard of this southeast game exchange, I'm right down the road from greenville so I'm definitely going next year. Maybe I can bring something for you to sign if you come again!

Zachary Outen

Gah sometimes I forget computers I've had over the years until I see the cases for them on your channel. Fun video!

Alek

Enjoy it I did. It's nice to thrift vicariously through you.

Jan-Marten de Boer

I would like to say I think that ST:TNG set has been moving around the state for a while. It was in two different stores here in Winston Salem for a while.

Matthew Taylor

Yay! A new Thrifts episode! I couldn't help myself and made a terrible pun when I saw that church pew in the beginning. You could play Dark Forces while sitting on it and do "pew pew pew"... I expect you're not smiling as brightly as when you were walking around with your new/old pc at that convention...

Frederic St-Georges

Lucky rock is solar charging with usb. Nice. Holy crap. A manual for people? Must get one. People are hard.
