#LGR #Retro #Unboxing
Almost an hour of LGR opening retro tech is honestly the best thing to do on a rainy Friday with a nice hot cup of coffee :D Thank you!
Also living in Europe?
Your cup must have superb heat maintaining qualities...
Mikael I wish! Something like a ember cup might not be a bad idea after all haha
Tyear Yep! Absolutely love that LGR uploads this time
Haha same here in Croatia right now. Love some rainy day LGR video :)
Dell: This is going to the recycler
LGR'na Jones: It belongs in a museum!
That is such a criminally asinine policy.... ugh! 😖
If it's going to the recycler then isn't it now trash? Any legal issue with just taking it? There is no reason for Dell's policy to cover ALL computers over a certain age since at a certain point you're looking at antiques that do not compete with Dell's products. I wouldn't be surprised if that technically didn't fall under the policy since it's not a "PC" in the sense of being a Wintel IBM compatible computer. Dell doesn't offer a TRS-80 clone. Needless to say if the only response is "it's our policy" then the policy is crap.
@@IanSane The thing about outdated things it's considered polluting and provoking all sorts of hazards. Sure we need to learn what comes from where but open one storage space document it and make a book about it. No need to hoard hazardous crap. There are companies who have recycling contracts and if you take home something that is signed for recycling you pay a fine and if the person isn't found who took it all employees get punished. Usually you pay more then what it really is worth.
Throwing away such a significant great computer is a crime against humanity, no matter the contracts or requirements.
This has happened and still happens with a lot of corporations, which is yet another proof of their inability to be in touch with anything other than profit. Imagine that there's car companies out there that destroyed prototypes to famous cars, only to have to pay absurd amounts of money to restore them when the public changed face and they smelled profit on the rise. Just boggles the mind, because preserving things in museums is not a new concept, certainly not for a corporation like Dell.
And in this case, it's a less grievous crime, we're talking complete eradication and hateful search to the point where owners feared for their lives, if people found out they owned cars, or items, that were on search and destroy warrants (because lawsuits).
Gotta say, seeing "DEAR CLINT" looked like another word entirely lmao
“We have this box here from the Black Mesa Research Facility” I died
Fun fact: Running With Scissors actually shoots their signs.
Of course! How else would you get that authentic razor sharp jagged metal feel? This isn't Hobby Lobby!
Running With Scissors are the greatest bunch of lunatics to ever exist. I _dare_ you to prove me wrong.
But do they test their pipes for quality control purposes?
RIP CHAMP, you only left us a few years ago
@@GoredonTheDestroyer They included what looks like a crack pipe so of course they are a bunch of lunatics. The best lunatics.
11:30 - Apparently when LGR get's really excited he starts beatboxing.
LGR.exe has stopped responding.

Definition of irony: Pirated copies of hacking software.....
^ xD
We definitely need a video on those
like using kazaa to download kazaa pro
For sure as a teen I didn't do that.... Okay get outta my room feds. No don't look at that CD collection... No wait my HDD! Stop or I'll shoot!
No, the definition of irony is licensed hacking software!
LGR has such a relaxing voice. Really makes your day.
Wow. I didn't realize his name is LGR?
@@tonydarre9954 Slide clipboard items to delete them
CLINT is a very risky name to write quickly, all in upper case...
I C*NT understand what your suggesting...
When i first read the name written on the letter It made me laugh out loud

"I dont know what I'm going to do with all these pins"
You could always get a "wood grain" corkboard and show them all off in a desktop arrangement?
This is what I do with enamel pins. I don't have any desire to wear pins but I love pins? Lol
Oh my god ive been wondering what to do with enamel pins i collect. Theyre just so cool but its not like i have a giant messenger bag to stick them all on
@@thestellarelite This is what I do as well. A pin is essentially just a nice looking thumbtack right?
I was thinking about that but with his computer blanket
@@HelmedHorror666 i put them on my reusable grocery bags n stuff. its cute and gives more incentive to take them with you.

That fake Black Mesa box could be perfect for a limited edition release of the game, and also for physical releases of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Black Mesa, if they're planned for release.
No plans for that
I doubt Valve would do or approve of that.
@@Toonrick12 On the other hand I wouldn't be shocked if Valve did approve it.
love how appreciative you are of everything, even the small stuff.
As an LGR watcher I want to thank anyone who sent stuff in.
This was a very interesting video to watch.

It starts at 44:00
I remember being 9 and thinking palm pilots were the coolest things ever.
reminds me of that movie of the kid that "just wanted his handheld" so that guy holds his hand
@@officermeowmeowfuzzyface4408 I don't know what personal appointments and business contacts I needed to keep in a digital assistant at that age but whatever.
I'm tempted to thrift for one just so I can finally get one.
I remember being 9 and palm pilots were still 26 years away!! 😁hee
The Casio Cassiopeia did it for me. I ended up getting one when I was a kid and loved it. I also had a card modem for it, and of course the typical hijinks ensued. Showing kids at school this little color PC in my hands just blew their minds. I remember showing one of my classmates a very inappropriate picture during class, and when my teacher told me to hand it over I quickly hit the shortcut button for the calculator. I was doing the same kinds of things children do now on their smartphones, but in the 90s.
LGR: Some may call this junk... Me, I call them treasures.
Looking to protect yourself? Or deal some damage?
Good golly, that looks like Christmas morning to me! I don't know how you hold off opening all those goodies for eight months...
Same, I'd be filming them like David aka 8-Bit Guy does as they trickle in. I'm the type even if I order something off eBay like a pack of button cell batteries I'm checking the tracking # at least a couple times a day, and I'm like hurry the heck up, and get in my mail box!!! 😂
Yep
@@CommodoreFan64 if you only get a few packages that's the way it goes. At some point you get too much and it loses its interest really. For some package my main reason for checking them is to see if the item is working or broken if it was expensive enough to check.
Commodorefan64 Don’t ever look on Wish Dotcom.
That Big Box Version of Black Mesa is such a thoughtful gift. The guys over there really know you. Kudos to them, after already making a great game.
Speaking of BeOS -- the modern open-source version of it, Haiku, has just released a new version (R1 Beta 2) with lots of improvements and a growing amount of software available for it.
World domination by 3048 at this rate 🤗
I’m writing a BFS plugin for macOS that will work with it.
just
@@cygil1 Just can't wait 😂 I remember when BeOS was to be "the foundation" of PalmOS Cobalt (remember that one? I do 😭😭😭)
Holy crap, Clint! Soooo jealous of that Model II. I still have my original Model 4, with added graphics card and all the manuals. I've been on the hunt for a 4P and a II. Treat her well...she's a beautiful machine!
ahh the good old "just one more refresh of the youtube home page before bed" pays off again. Its gonna be a late night

Turn one of the “blankets” you received into a pin holder using them to frame it
I was thinking the same thing. Turn it into a tapestry, and mount the pins in all their glory!
Not a bad idea actually. A giant vaporwave pinned tapestry!
@@LGR The Shroud of The Pins
I love how the German guy immediately starts by criticising his efficiency in responding to emails
That Radioshack computer is sweet. Love how it totally looks like a TV. Also love the keyboard-keyboard. That's some Oddware material right there.
Well due to covid 19 this might be the closest thing we get to a LGR thrifts episode for a while.
He's in NC about an hour from me.
Retail is open so he could go if he chose to.
LGR Thrifts is everything!!!....
@@justandardprocedure Here on the SC/GA border with restrictions being eased, and lifted, many places still have not opened, or fully opened, and most restaurants/fast food don't have indoor dinning. I passed my local GoodWill yesterday on my way to Lowe's for yard stuff, and saw 1 car, so honestly not sure they are even open yet.
@@justandardprocedure Retail may be open but it's far from smart to be going randomly out still.
@@jnerdsblog did I advise it?
I can't wait until the thrift stores open again. I guess this is the closest thing we'll get to LGR Thrifts for awhile.
I suppose the next thrifting video will be 2 hours long just because it's been so sorely missed.
things have started to ease up here in S. Carolina, and same with N. Carolina where Clint is at, far as "Human Malware" goes, but some stores still have not opened at all, and others are limiting customers on busy days, and most restaurants/fast food have still not opened their indoor dinning rooms. However with the riots(yes people who destroy, and steal things that don't belong to them are looters, and rioters) it's going to make thrifting more challenging in the coming months 😔, thankfully it's been peaceful protest for the most part in my area with only a handful of idiots getting arrested.
My goodwills opened in my area yesterday and my God I found some good stuff already! Go the first day at opening time and I can almost guarantee you something good! (I found pretty much brand new ps1 launch edition with the controller and cables still held together by twist ties and a stack of new ps1 games too for 24.95$)
PS: I'm in Northern California
as soon as I saw that NBN box I immediately knew where it was from.
Yeah, Mordor!
@@JWZC_NL no, australia lol
50:53 - Yeah, I hoped the spring was still inside the box. Also, you can super glue stuff from the non-visible side by holding the parts together, put a drop or glue and pour some baking soda on it. Repeat as needed to build up a bridge between the two sides. This way it will have much more surface to stick, not just along the cracked seam. Good luck fixing it! (if instructions unclear, just search for super glue+baking soda videos)
I can’t wait till it’s 2050 and we start seeing 2012 macs pros and Asus gaming PCs lol
More PCs than macs. Modern Macs are a hassle to repair, glued together and near impossible to repair without popper equipment. It's really, really sad, but "good old Macs" like today will only be virtual in the future.
@@erebostd Agree, I have a 2016 Macbook pro I would like to upgrade the SSD and ram on, but no go.
@@danaeckel5523 The cost of upgrading them is quite eyewatering too compared to Windows machines, especially when they're already very expensive
I bought a 1 TB M.2 SSD for ~£100 for my PC, yet to upgrade to an SSD of the same specification when buying a MacBook Pro it'll set you back £400... Four times the price, but for what exactly?
You think we’re going to make it to 2050 😅😅😅
I'll be 75 by then. Can you image me in a retirement home? Other pensioners want's watch a soap on tv.
Me: "F@@k off, I want to watch LGR unboxing geekware!
I can imagine those faces excited to see LGR open their packages! Maybe I'll send mine!
Contact him first, last I checked he's not taking any new shipments / donations due to having SOOOOOO much shipped and not enough time to go through it.
Coleção Nintendo you are saying to send to Brazil?

@ boomer
I love this camera view, can see all the Ultima boxes in the background!
Dude, that old school Black Mesa box is wicked!
Loving that!!
HOLY CRAP that GB thing looked awesome! The screen quality was amazeballs!
It’s an IPS screen, which is one of the best technologies on the market. On top of that, that particular screen was custom designed by Tony Jih for this purpose. IMHO it’s one of the best looking handheld screens on the market today. If you get an RG-300, spring a little extra for the IPS panel.
If you’re gonna do a video about BeOS 4, there’s also an open-source successor in the works called Haiku that’s currently in beta.
Used BeOS a bit back in the day as win 95 used to crash all the time. Was good but lack of software *somewhat* problematic! Managed to get NT 4 in the end - was stable and could actually use stuff on it!
Looking fwd to LGR episode on BeOS
In all my years of watching LGR I never would've thought I'd see a crack pipe in an unboxing video.
It’s a one hit weed pipe
It's a oneie
I love these videos, they’re so relaxing to watch. It’s so nice you always remember people who have wrote in before and I absolutely love that you’re never yelling at the audience. Thanks for the content and for being you (:
This showed up pretty quick in my recommendations!
Ikr
You have a wonderful enthusiasm for all the retro tech you receive and you have soo many generous fans because of it. Thank you for being you.
That was really cool of you to open each package and thank your fans individually. Very classy.
I just wanted to say thank you for this awesome CZcams channel and getting me interested in retro tech! With big part to you I got my windows 98 pc today!
4:44 I misread the greeting for a second and thought to myself that you have to be pretty psychotic to write a letter beginning like that.
Ha ha ha me too
Diggles is the international version of the game „Wiggles“ by the german developer SEK from Berlin. Itˋs an awesome and yet underrated game and I remember to waste many hours with it. You have to cover it or at least have a look on it.
yeah in my original mail to Clint I wrote that German games are criminally underrepresented in his library and sent him a few classics. Those english DSA games cost me aa fortune :)
His happy giggle at 12:41 is something the world could use a little more of right now. Fun video, mate!
I love how theres different types of reactions of you opening stuff, for "vintage-styled/vaporwave/nostalgia" merch you sound very giddy and laughs with glee like a child back in the old days, and for hardware stuff and components ye sound suddenly very very curious and serious like "oh I can use this in that project, oh I could use this in this other thing"
I love watching yer videos of unboxing retro stuff
I remember going to the local computer shows at the highschools when i was in middle school and buying those hacker guides cds LOL 🤣🤣
We never had them at a school my area, but the local fair grounds, and it was more of a general bi-annual grey market fair with everything from car tires, car parts, car audio, to even complete computer systems, and other random grey market electronics, and software with yep including the hacker guides. Me, and my dad use to go to them, and it was $5 to get in the fair even if you did not buy anything, and the ads where all over local TV/Radio about 2 weeks before the weekend event.
I had one of those "Hackerz." Too bad I lost the CD.
It's little attention to detail moments like the cutaway to filling and lighting the wood grain zippo that make your videos so watchable I think. Ultimately inconsequential, but psychologically fulfilling.
The caption said [gentle fueling] during that shot
Pete cannon is a legendary UK producer from hip hop to Jungle to all sorts. Literally blew my mind he sent LGR some vinyl. Awesome
yeah just clocked that. hes well known
Would love to see that TRAPEZOID game working, that looks pretty cool for a passion project.
I had know PKunzip came on a disk like that. It was always something we just downloaded off a BBS, AOL, and the Internet, depending on the time.
I had a copy of that in my office 30 years ago. Same exact thing. I worked at a software company in WI back then.
Hard to believe that Doom kart has a raspberry pie tucked in it.
@Jean-Marc Genier It’s pretty easy with most of them, except with models 3 B+ and 4, USB headers have to be desoldered so they fit in the kart
wow interesting way to dump thoughts
If you want really good stuff check out analogue systems
Can't wait for someone to make a NES run Crysis this way (streamed over wifi to a pi cart from a PC)
I wonder if it can be connected to a Commodore 64 in a similar way.
Was not expecting Pete Cannon records haha. Pete makes some awesome music!
The Doom NES cart is pretty interesting, he managed to build a Raspberry Pi into the cart itself to power the game. I was very impressed
40:53 that’s an Owen Wilson “wow”
Woah - it's gotta be tough finding space for all the stuff you get sent!
OoooMG you are the lucky one, getting all them juicy hardware Sir LGR!
Thanx for the unboxing vids and all your other work. Keep it up! :)
Wow, I took a BASIC programming class on a TRS-80 Model II, in maybe 1983? Awesomesauce.
Really hope the game on the USB at 14:11 gets sorted out, i hate to see all that work go to waste
Might need to be run in real dos, not windows command prompt.
Clint was looking at the full source code for the game, he just needs to check the syntax on the first "admin" password entry to kick off the rest of the game. Actually, just looking at the footage it looks like several passwords are valid: LGR or lockdown (case sensitive)should get the game to start.
3:58 you dont strike me as a vaporwave kinda guy
4:23 nm.lol
Incarta '95 (who sent the Cymouse headset & cassette) is a Vaporwave artist!
Has several Michaels sending him stuff - "There are a lot of Steves!!!"
I'm normally not a fan of unboxings of any variety, but I get some great nostalgia from yours! Thanks to all of your viewers and you of course, for sending me back a couple decades :)
3:31 From that sticker: 蒸気 (jōki) means "steam" or "vapor", 波 (nami) means "wave", and 服 (fuku) means "clothes".
So..."stinky clothing"?
@@saintcrispan5068 vaporwave... Nothing about that implies stinky at all, if anything it's clean, steamy clothes.
Ah, steam clothes, the super popular music and visual style we all love!
Please cover Winamp and all those poor lamas that got whipped
Like the sentence in the manual for the NES ultimate Doom collection:
"When you exit Doom, Doom2 will start automatically"
The Lytro Cam ist good for an oddware Video.
Doom is indeed, eternal
Great video Clint, love these retro unboxing video's. Fabulous!
Hey Clint, can you by any chance rip those “hacker CDs” to something like archive.org?
I tried searching around and can’t find these anywhere. I would love to play around with these in a VM
@ all of your problems in life are self inflicted.
I remember seeing all three of those in a mil-surp stall at the Milton flea market here in Wes' Virginny years back. It'd be pretty cool if they just so happen to be the same ones.
@Jorge Gomez He is on a drug known as "socialism."
@ I mean, he's uploaded plenty of the rarer stuff in his collection on multiple occasions.

Same.
I'm inordinately excited to see your take on BeOS! I remember using it on my old VAIO in the late 90's as a young teenager when I was still finding my way around a computer. Can't wait for that video!
BeOS was way ahead of its time, I remember messing around with it ALOT back in the day!
8:00 thanks for showcasing my product! I hope you can find a use for it :)
The pins! I had to check out the page and I'm in love
This is, you know, overwhelming stuff. The SCB-55 blew me away. It's such a piece of beautiful vintage pc hardware. You have the best possible combination for vintage PC gaming sound in a very stylish, neat package. So impressive.
That unboxing must be so satisfying! I love unbox videos, hopefully the packages keep on comming👍😁
I’m a simple man. I see a ThinkPad, I like.
Love your ThinkPad videos mate. I was looking into buying an older ThinkPad for XP gaming nostalgia but money is tight atm.
This is like a virtual Christmas morning
@LGR. Love your videos and hardware you review. Decided to open a few browser windows (ok maybe like 20) all playing your videos at 2X speed with autoplay on and I may have left that machine running for the last few days. Hope you enjoy a little bump up in your viewership metrics! Keep up the awesome content!
23:19 that's so cool that you signed that and sent it back. love your work!!
Omg I'm so jealous of the HL HEV Suit!! I love HL! LOL
Oh! And the RG300 handheld! 😛
Those N4 vinyl records are the real deal. You can see his process using classic Amigas and Ataris and synths, and doing some fantastic drum and bass / old school rave tracks!!!
Beautiful video, as always.
Cheers from Spain!!!
You do box openings right. You take your time, show us everything and thank each person; great! After watching Dave Portney's horrible, albeit occasionally entertaining, unboxings this was a treat, thanks.
First Techmoan does over an hour of MD unpacking/testing and now LGR does nearly an hour of unboxing stuff you sent him? ❤️
45:01
Oddware video when?
(On the other hand, it _could_ be useful in the long run though.)
At 6:15, that looks even more like a car radio than the equalizer thing.
Also, at 20:48, _finally_ an IBM Thinkpad 770E. I grew up with one, and still boot it up from time to time to listen to midis. This laptop has LOUD speakers.
Yes, that rubbery coating gets sticky.
Also, last I checked the battery still works. It depletes within seconds though.
So nice to see the joy that these donations bring, and how grateful you are for each. Can't be said for other retro unboxers!
pete cannon makes some amazing jungle drum and bass tunes
**Clint going over really neat computer stuff**
Me: SOAP
You will always have the best unboxing channel on CZcams.
Maaaan, seeing that Jedi Knight box brought me back. I have such a clear memory of visiting a Best Buy as a kid with my uncle who was the family computer guy. We were browsing the PC game section(yes that used to exist), I saw the box and, having been a huge fan of Dark Forces, made it known that I wanted that game like right now. It was fall so Christmas was on the horizon. I got the game that year. I played that game probably more than any game in the history of my gaming career (I'm 37). It was legitimately my first introduction to online gaming beyond playing online chess. The Microsoft Gaming Zone hosted it and the expansion, Mysteries of the Sith. Those were amazing the days of early online multiplayer gaming.
It is so chilling to watch your videos! All of them.
CHEERS! Glad the package got to you!
I have 3 old-ish PC's around the house, I still have the one that my brother bought back in 1998 (I call it the small PC), the machine I bought not long after I went to college in 2006 (I call it the big PC) and there's a PC in the home-made arcade machine I built with a carpenter relative of mine that runs MAME. I don't know why but the big PC and the MAME PC has SoundBlaster LIVE! in them (I don't remember why I changed the big PC's sound or is it replace the on-board chip I don't remember). The small PC has the same Quantum Fireball 3GB HDD inside, still works after it was tortured by a failing PSU for many years. All those graphics card names make me feel old, like the S3 Trio, ATI Rage, Trident... By the way, the small PC has an ABIT BH6 motherboard and an Intel Celeron, Slot 1 CPU (I believe it's a 266, 300A or 333 idunno...). I was a fan of the Slot1 design of the CPU.
The Abit BH6 is a really good motherboard too ! Have fun with your PC !
Seeing that TRS-80 Model II...wow. That was the second computer my mother owned for her accounting business way back when those were brand new new. No hard disk, though, so she had a locked cabinet full of those 8" floppies! She gave it to me when she moved on to an IBM 8088. I used it as a word processor and to teach myself how to make some really simple BASIC programs that would be laughable now but were really cool to a 10 year old. Watching your excitement got me excited over that machine all over again. So thank you, LGR, for bringing back some good memories. 😄
Those Pins are awesome :) Made my day remembering Win95, I was 10 years old
12:00 Nice to see someone I'm subscribed to. This guy made the hilarious "Chain of fools" videos.
11:30 lgr tries beatboxing
Awesome video! Your fans are just as awesome!
I remember playing Jagged Alliance on a demo disc. Totally forgot about that game until now... 😮
Man, I LOVE Black Mesa. Had a ton of fun playing it. I’m glad I waited till it was all done.
"As a collector of file decompression utilities" hahaha
