LGR - Donations Unboxing April 2021

hot damn.. that was one heck of an unboxing .. Some awesome stuff.. I can't wait for the aquarium PC review

Evan B

I found it funny that you went on a small tangent trying to figure out if the Windows version was 1.04 or not even though it said 1.03 right on the manual as you took it out of the box :)

Also, every time I see one of those tablets with the crosshair mouse, it just floods back memories of going to my dad's Engineering office and seeing the crazy stuff in the dark CAD room (other employees still did stuff with drafting tables and squares and templates and stuff!).

John Covil

So when is the LGR synth album coming out?

Myles MAN

Watermelon and Banana are the best flavors, hands down.

John Covil

I just started reading Voyage Of the Dawn Treader with my 5YO, and I might try to get those cards from somewhere. And an emulator and the disks or files.

John Covil

It's public on YouTube as of this morning! There's also a new link in the Patreon post, might need a page refresh 👍

LGR

"This video has been removed by the uploader." I iz now sad. I can haz video? 3:

Oh it'll get its time in the sun, haha

LGR

Certainly will, thanks once again!

LGR

The algorithm tends to disagree in regards to watchtime on longer videos vs shorter, but point taken ;)

LGR

Please do unboxing videos at least once a month. It's much better to have 5 videos 20 minutes length then one video over an hour long. Thanks Clint!

Thanks for the shoutout. 👋 Enjoy that GPU I gave you. Have a safe trip.

The disappointment I felt when you didn’t open the aquarium case. 😂

Joon Choi

Refresh the page here, the link is updated in the post above!

LGR

Did you take the video down? I only got through half of it last night...

Stavros Karatsoridis

Giveaway or charity auction, we'll see :)

LGR

No brushes, just a normal-looking data disc!

LGR

That's awesome. Really excited to finally try it out, it's intrigued me for about as long as I can remember. Even in the late 90s that would've been a rather futuristic kind of device!

LGR

You're right, it needs one of their bus cards to work. Guess I gotta find one of those now, heh

LGR

I appreciate it, Frederic!

LGR

Thanks, it's gone well so far! Got a nice buncha footage.

LGR

Thanks! I try to include those whenever I can, at least for things that I can set up in a timely fashion

LGR

I'll have to check, I didn't notice!

LGR

I thought I pointed out the 486 reference in the video! I know I did on-camera anyway, hopefully I didn't edit it out :)

LGR

Wouldn't argue with that at all! Those games have an unbeatable sense of freedom and excellent atmosphere to them.

LGR

This is one of those collections of goodies where it's genuinely hard to know where to start! Nearly all of them will make a great video.

LGR

Heh, no worries. It's been chaotic everywhere it seems, I've still got packages on hold since late February!

LGR

Yep, it's blurred for the public video

LGR

.. Maybe one day I finally manage to send the thing I've been meaning to send since forever. :'D Been still bit wary of posting anything over the pond because our post office is very, uh.. Chaotic at these times. Oh well, eventually!

from Wikipedia: "Salt water taffy is composed of sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, glycerine, water, butter, salt, natural and/or artificial flavor, and food color. Some examples of flavoring include vanilla, lemon, maple, banana, red licorice, watermelon, raspberry or mint extracts. Despite its name, the taffy contains no salt water (seawater), but does contain both salt and water."

Ralph Fontcuberta

Loved this video. Really excited to see the reviews we'll get out of these donations.

X-WING and TIE FIGHTER are my favorite DOS-era gaming memories. More than DOOM. Fight me. (Also played them on my Mac (System 7.5 or 8, as I recall) for ages afterwards. Still have my pilot files for those.)

Ralph Fontcuberta

For some reason the idea of your computer playing hold music from MIDI makes me think of the "Heck" level from Earthworm Jim.

moosemaimer

Yeah I'd love a chance at one of the discs too!

Kijikun

Clint, are you planning to edit out the email addresses from the letter from the co-authors from Masterworks Software?

You are a good way into two possible themed builds; a burger pc or an aquarium pc. There have GOT to be keyboards, monitors, etc. for those themes out there somewhere. Also, those Flux CDs are super cool! Would love to have a chance at one of those, since the PlanetFlux site looks to be down now...I think one can still get the game digital from the windows store? But if there's a giveaway for those, I'll def be hopping on that. Game looks like a ton of fun!

Bukkarooo

A really impressive collection of donations. Can't believe you missed the 486 reference on the record! Really intrigued to see how that watch works too, amazing what they thought of.

Matt Tester

Would love to know if there's any serial # on the AdLib superwide box (that would match the missing card's serial)? Never seen one like that in real life! Must have been the very early packaging.

Beegotron

Love the new concept with all the small demoes inbetween!

Bert Claes

Fabulous...I envy the Windows and IBM OG boxes!

John Piscopo

"how tactical" :-D

Shiela Dixon

Loved it! God bless little Claire

Asaf Sagi

So... what are you gonna do with all those Flux CDs? Can I have one?

Eric Siegel

About the cleaning diskette - have you checked if there's like a small brush further down the disk?

aquaz

The STG synth module sounds kind of like a didgeridoo, a digitaldoo, if you will.

Steve Lovelace

Is that a Microsoft serial mouse? It looked like the connector was the wrong gender. After some searching I found that the serial version had a 25 pin female connector and the 9 pin male is in fact a bus mouse and needs a bus card to connect to. It is not serial, so don't try to use it on a serial port.

Lennart Sorensen

Take your time! We will be here.

Steven Knott

Awesome! Some very neat items! I used a timex datalink watch in high school in the mid to late 90's. It was a hand me down from my Dad and I was the ONLY one with one. Having my calendar, birthdays and ALL those phone numbers right on my wrist by flashing them into my watch from my CRT was probably the most geekiest thing ever. I inherited all my Dad's old software after he passed and in it was the original installer disk. Then last month I won a unit in box with everything included except said disk, even had the same wrist strap as the one I had. So needless to say I got pretty excited you got one and I eagerly await an episode on it. I didn't think too much about the watch until I saw it on Goodwill auctions last month, it was a smart watch before smart watches.

Brandon Mingo

Enjoy your road trip buddy!

Andrew Kirkby

Hey Clint! I hope everything will turn out okay with you and your projects. Allow me to thank you for the years of entertainment you've provided, it has helped tremendously recently. My daughter is also grateful for your Sims videos that she rewatches on a regular basis. Take care
