Clint you *ARE* among the legends. You deserve to be in that book.
Well I appreciate that :)
@@LGR hey
@@LGR could you please do the PC 98 and Corpse party?
Real shit
We need an *LGR: After Dark* for that Lust game. 😂
LGR Onlyfans
@@TheNiteNinja19 LMAO
and we really need to know what else was on that receipt 😆
@@philcarter9738 Do you *really* want to know? I think I can do without. lol
LGR crossover with Leisure Suit Larry (R.I.P Jan Robson )
26:43 I never actually intended there to be actual packing peanuts. 😂
@@Rosiestoned Birthed
@@Rosiestoned it was the post office who put them in
@@snipe4402 They do that? Unprompted?
@@More_Row I guess so
That was one of the funniest gags I’ve ever seen.
31:43 There I am! I’m glad I could send something in, even if it is just a scanner mouse. Thanks Clint!
What a weird little doohickie, I can't wait to test it 😄
@@LGR if yours has the 1.0 disc try to stick with that. Cathode ray dude used the updated software and his became slightly less functional after about 20 minutes. I just found one of the thrift store this past week and the 1.0 software has been fine.
That is some awesome stuff. That 4,800 yen screen saver from 1995 would have been worth about $50 contemporaneously, which accounting for inflation is about $100. They've been strangling anime fans for their money for over 25 years. Good stuff.
The anime Maison Ikkoku is a romantic comedy from 1986, one of my favorites. The manga artist was Rumiko Takahashi who is one of if not the most famous manga author in Japan. She also created Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, and Urusei Yatsura.
I'd love to put this on my 486 😸
@@oldmanonyoutube Came here to essentially say this. I will point out Rumi-sensei whenever I see her in the wild.
To be fair, most anime fans (to which I can count myself somewhat) react to new products or merchandise like Gollum: "It mussst be mine!"
30:07 That looks like an anti-fade cover. When I was young some shops would have a yellow clear plastic sheet in the front of the shop window to stop fading. Without it all the colours except for blue would fade away.
So glad the sound blaster box made its way to you! Happy to contribute to the ever growing LGR museum of tech ✌🏻
You're a legend
That's not Ranma 1/2, that's Maison Ikkoku, by the same person though, really good 80's era slice of life. That screensaver is a trip, thanks for taking the time to load it up.
As shown on-screen at 12:09, yes :)
There's a link to download it in the video description if you're interested!
@@LGR Oops I must have been looking away at that moment. TBH your package openings and thrift videos function as ASMR for me, in the best of ways.
Creator - Rumiko Takahashi
I am happy to see the keyboards I sent you arrived in one piece! Thanks for featuring them in your video.
Thank you again for sending them!
thanks for the laughs wow
@@LGR theres something extremely ironic in those plastic highly disposable keyboards simulating wood and Budda as if they were a testament to nature and environment
lol the buddha one
Clint you are a wordsmith for the ages... ""I enjoyed perusing the last one, while taking a multitude of dumps". LOL
cup of coffee + LGR’s video = nice morning indeed ☕️
absolutely right!
add a wood grain coaster and its a great morning :)
Mine was an afternoon coffee with an LGR video 😆
Am actually taking a cup of ☕ in the morning while watching this vid, nice.
had a double-take when you showed the Maison Ikkoku screen saver pack haha! Weirdly specific and underrated anime from the 80s. It's by the same creator as Ranma 1/2, so I could see why the sender got it mixed up!
One of the most underrated anime/manga series of the 80s (probably my second favorite of all time). A lucky find for the sender.
Rumiko Takahashi? She's written _a _*_lot_* of manga over the years.
Urusei Yatsura & Inuyasha would be better references millennials would get, since Urusei Yatsura just got a new anime, and many millennials saw Inuyasha when it aired on TV.
@@kintozero3169 Inuyasha got a new anime recently too (Yashahime).
I think it was her only seinen, as well.
What a coincidence! I am glad you recieved the classic Macintosh mousepad at the same time you recieve the computer itself! 😉
Same, that was perfect timing!
Harry! Can you please share/sell the graphics used for those mousepads? Or maybe a place where I could contact you to buy some printed mousepads directly ?(Im from europe too)
@@Arella_aegyo Hi! I was actually thinking about making a 90s style website were I can share all the files. And then anyone can have them printed at their local printing company. As well maybe people can send their own designs so they can be shared on that website.
@@Arella_aegyo but meanwhile of course I can send you by email the files. Is there a way you can send a PM via RUclips to share your email?
@@Harry-by2us even an Etsy store would be great, they look awesome and I'd love to get some
"It's made of the same plastic as a cup of yogurt." Hahah classic.
12:18 the anime is called Maison Ikkoku in Italy, and it is one of my earliest memories. It's a coming of age romantic comedy with definitely adult themes going on. Now I'm going to get my tears bucket now after remembering it :') That's a neat gift! cheers!
Yeah. That anime is definitely NOT Ranma 1/2. It is Maison Ikkoku. Totally different stories. However, both anime series are creations of Rumiko Takahashi.
Ahh, I love these videos. It is better than christmas. So many awesome things coming from fans, to a dedicated guy who really knows how to take care of it.
I just realized that the reason I like watching these videos is because it invokes the feelings I had as a kid at christmas. So I think you are on to something :P
This is the exactly kind of vibe I was needing tonight. An hour's worth of unboxing, yeaaah let's go
45:00 - I've been a subscriber of Marc's channel for a really long time (Almost as long as yours Cilnt, been subscribed here since oddware with excessive beard) and popped when I saw the LGR Colaberation Video on his channel and completely assimilates the calculator (in a Non-Borg way of course). Always love these videos and smile and think "Yeah, I do remember that on store shelves back in the day" and the sheer amount of support the community gives Cilnt too.
Ayyy old timers unite! I first came around with the old sims 3 reviews and I've stuck around since. Good stuff!
I still have that Cambridge Soundworks speaker system. I have been using it for the last 24 years, and it has been fantastic that entire time.
Same.
I don’t know 90% of the stuff he covers but damm I love it
I'm at about 98%, and same haha
Man every time one of these comes out, it's like a trailer for everything that's coming up.
YES! I love hour long LGR's. Thank you.
Clint, I have that Cambridge Soundworks speaker system, though mine was in a stand alone package with none of the other items bundles in like in the package you have there. I bought it in 99, and it has been in near constant use in my setups ever since. For their size, they put out some great sound!
A friend of mine had one back in the day! I remember that subwoofer going hard.
Yeah I had the stand alone ones too. I remember they came with plastic tripods for the backspeakers but because they got in the way I taped them to the ceiling!
Same. They're sitting right here on my desk. Listened to the vid through them.
I had had no clue there was a screensaver of Maison Ikkou anime characters. I've read the manga and loved it over the anime.
That and all the other items are great finds for your collection LGR.
It's quite amazing that we live in a time when the average movie is less entertaining that watching someone open packages for the same length of time.
Eh people keep bashing on the movies nowadays but there were always a lot of bad ones.
@@EuropeanQoheleth Exactly, the majority of films were shit even back in the day. if you think about it, its kind of a limited medium for story telling, only so much you can do in that time frame. that's where Tv shows shine imo!
Never gave it a thought when I was younger. But it is, indeed, entertaining.
I think its more the trash that has been shown on tv the last few years
I was just looking for a LGR mail episode yesterday and here it is! marvelous!
Those speakers and subwoofer are still my daily PC Tower sound option. Still works perfectly after all these years (1998).
14:04 I recognize that art style. It was made by the famous manga (japanese comic books) artist, Rumiko Takahashi, creator of famous manga/anime like Ranma 1/2 or Yurusei Yatsura (also known as "Lum").
Urusei Yatsura (Those Obnoxious Aliens) Is the most fun from Takahashi.
Weekend evening somewhere in 1997:
''Gotta get the KY Jelly while the Lust! is loading''
*sounds of ultra compressed 11025Hz audio AVI videos in the backround*
53:10 - Micropolis were known for their A/V rated hard drives (for use in video capture systems). They were also known for running incredibly hot and dying young. Which explains why you don’t see specimens very often these days.
Very cool! That Sound Blaster 4.1 set up brought back memories for me. Great kit. I then upgraded it down the line to a black 5.1 version that cost a big chunk of my student loan back in the early 00s. Good Times!
Just wanna say Clint, life ain't always a blast, but your channel always cheers me up. Thank you for being you.
That wood panel PC case is amazing! Looking forward to the build video!
That looks so cool and not that pricey either considering. Too bad i dont need to build anything now/my current piano black box got similar minimal aesthetics but this one tickles me just right.
Gamers Nexus needs to do a review of that case! It looks incredible!
Annnnnnnnddd no 5 1/4'' bays... Even with a supposedly "retro" case. I'm starting to get really sick of case manufacturers just ignoring them nowadays in favor of MOAR FANS that aren't actually needed for most users. And by the way, no, the bays can be used for much more than just optical drives. I myself have a SATA drive hot swap bay. It is so choice. lol
@@arnox4554 When I upgraded last year I specifically bought a Phanteks Enthoo Pro so I'd have options for future upgrades as needed. Full towers with front bays are becoming so rare these days, but this one has a three of them plus a fake fourth one that hides the front IO.
@@emerje0 I actually have that same case! It's a really damn good one except for two issues. One, there's a metal overhang over the PCI-e bracket area, so it makes screwing and unscrewing the metal brackets really annoying. And two, it's a heavy bastard. I dread having to pick it up at all.
The Cubeor Kanto wooden case sells around 300 bucks, so it's like a mini-computer worth of a case. The sustainable birch wood can 'live' a little, so closing the doors is a more careful affair than is usual. Did you know that birch is the national tree of Finland? You can drink the sap with something and make tea. The leaves and branches are used tying them together in a 'vihta', the thing you can whip yourself with in a sauna - useful to aid circulation. Naturally, saunas help remove toxins always and improve relaxing. Cubeor has videos of putting together the insides of a PC, and how the components are placed differently than usual - airflow is really fine. A good-looking case.
The abacus wristnet was actually a pretty cool system at the time. Most major cities had a radio transmitter that would broadcast data to the watches. Things such as daily weather, news, stocks would get sent daily to the watches for free. With the subscription you were able to customize the data to your watch specifically. Each watch had a unique data id/serial, and you tied it to your msn account. It allowed you to tailor specific weather, news, stock info, sports scores, additional time faces/backgrounds. As well as being able to receive MSN messenger messages to the watch directly, pretty cool when you think about it, when folks would send you msn messenger messages they would typically appear on the watch in about 10-15min. The watches were not able to transmit any info, so it was plainly a "receiver". The antenna is located in the band (depending on the model, the clasp had a contact inside to complete the antenna circuit when closed. My friend and I snatched up one each when Tigerdirect were starting to clear them out (early 2000's?). Definitely one of the highest tech watches at the time. I believe fossil and swatch made these writsnet units. They had a cool induction charger bay/dock, and you would get about a day, 1.5 days max out of a charge iirc.
I had one living on the outskirts of Toronto (50km away from the tower), and i would average around 40-60% signal strength
I hope Clint does a full overview on the unit. Hopefully wayback machine has the original sites archived, there was alot of good info on them about how the system worked. In the settings menu of the phone it would also show radio frequency strength and battery % and a few other neat tibits. Smartphones basically killed this system off with internet connectivity.
Haha, the Snickers says "大人ビター" "Adult Bitter", which suits me just fine. 😁
That is rather suspicious and weird. 😆
Man you have good timing, I almost had to go do things...an hour of procrastination, here I come!
I think the Alf stickers were my favorite...thats some stick-on nostalgia right there lol
Oh wow a Mac Plus, my grandparents had one. I've played so many games of Squix on that.
The sound it makes when ejecting a disk. So nostalgia.
OMG, I remember using the Mac Plus as an adult! and you just made me feel very old. Not even just your parents', your "grandparents'"!!!!! 🤢
I am glad that the PC Transporter Card found its way to you safely! Thanks again and hope it brings you some fun Clint!
Absolutely and thank you again! Getting lots of requests to cover it today now that I've posted a video about the Diamond Trackstar, which kinda does the opposite :)
@@LGR Yeah, i thought that was funny, basically the exact opppsite.
I actually just emailed you about something I have that should pair nicely with it also.
The Screensavor is from an anime called Maison Ikkoku. Sweet find! I love that series because of it's sweet 80s art.
45:55 that Fry's price tag, that brings me back. RIP in peace, Fry's
"Multitude of dumps"...Clint I needed that laugh today. The imagery not so much. You rock.
I did a very large deployment of those Intermecs. It was a large trucking company and they did the version with 2G wireless WAN adapters built in. We found one actually used as a tire chock.
I could see the wood PC case good for a custom NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 PC since you haven't made custom computers with those operating systems yet (far as I know anyway!) Also love that Windows 98 tablet, that needs to be on a video asap!😁👌
Remember Alf? He's back, in sticker form.
Wanna trade for my Alf pog?
I caught saw that lol! Alf is great.
the way my ears perked up at the Ranma 1/2 screensaver software, haha. that's so cool and cute I love it!!!
"it does have two buttons, they're just lazily covered... this is sooooo.... duuumb... I love it!" 😂😅😂
Thank you so much for uploading the screen savers I can’t tell you how happy I am!!❤
This is like when you procrastinate and then you suddenly remember all of your work is due in an hour :)
Haha
Clint you just seem like a decent, good hearted chap. Just wanted to say that.
IBM had a plant in Scotland that was so big, British Rail dedicated a station to it: IBM Halt. It was 25+1⁄2 miles (41 km) west of Glasgow Central.
I love seeing these videos coming out because I know some blurbs are in-store!
That Ultrasound card is simply gorgeous looking.
My father had those exact same Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speaker set when I was growing up. the set we had came with little legs for the rear speakers you would set up behind your computer chair. I remember my father and I playing half life 1 with them and getting spooked by headcrabs.
if you left them on all day you would occasionally pick up CB radios from local truckers on them, and they would ALWAYS get that classic buzzing noise right before receiving a text message or phone call.
As a Maison Ikkoku fan, seeing that screen saver was great.
One of the most peaceful and calming types of videos to show up in the feed. Love these, especially great to watch while doing mindless chores at work. Thanks for this!
I just love watching you unpacking all the stuff I wanted when this came out ;-)
every time you do one of these I am like WHAT?! IT'S BEEN THAT LONG?!
those めぞん一刻 / maison ikkoku screensavers are awesome!
One note on that HALO scanner mouse is don't let the driver update as the last driver update that gets autodownloaded from their server will brick it.
Ahh yes I recall CRD mentioning that now. Thanks!
I enjoy all your videos. Im not a collector but love the retro tech because it was new tech when i was of that age hehe. In this video it was fun to see Kid Pixs and those ergonomic keyboards
For the computer case, consider building an emulation machine. Maybe something that would faithfully emulate anything from an Atari 2600 to a PS3, from Dos to Windows 11. You don't need to throw an Nvidia 4090 into it. PS3 runs well on my 1650 Super, as does PS1 & 2. Maybe figure out a way to output a Composite/S-Video signal and use a TV as a monitor for the older games/systems. Absolutely love the case.
So happy to get home from a long shift and see Clint has a new LGR Unboxing! Its a good day :)
That wooden case is amazing! Maybe you could make a media center PC with it. Seems like it would fit well with an AV setup!
That wooden case looks like it belongs next to a 70s hi-fi system, right next to the Tandberg r2r. 😍
I was thinking the same thing.
My first pc I used was in grade three and it was an Atari 400 useing the poke and plot command to make a moving Santa sled across the sky for a class project for Xmas back in 1982 or 83
Recognized the store label for suruga-ya on the screensaver poly bag! lol
That Japanese Screensaver pack is from the anime Maison Ikkoku, written by Takahashi Rumiko back in the early to late 1980s. I recognized Yusaku and Kyoko on the cover!
The creative speakers brought back some memories for me. I plugged them into my SB Live! and they sounded great ! Mine where the same model (UK)
Ahhh yess... Cambridge Soundworks brings some memories.
Back in early 00s i was configuring a system for a customer who happened to purchase DTT2200 system (SB Live 5.1 bundled with 5.1 Cambridge speakers). When i heard EAX and a song in AC3 with instruments separated into different channels on those tiny yet crazy powerful speakers, i knew i had to have one. Next day i've ordered exactly same set for myself and i'm using most of it until now - for more than 20 years.
Most of it, because my SB Live! unfortunately died when a faulty power supply in my old desktop fried the whole system, but even in 2.1 configuration the speakers sound unlike anything else.
I used to have that exact same Gravis ultrasound PnP card. It's a baller of a card. It Also features 9v phantom power on the mic output which happens to be enough to power most condenser microphones.
"Thank you for sending over this e-waste" 😂
Ah, the ASP upgrade, this brings back memories - I still have the box (however not sealed), the chip and the card (in one of my retro machines). It was my second sound card (after the Soundblaster CT1320B 1.0 (with CMS on it)/1.5 (with CMS upgrade option - actually can't remember if I had CMS or not) where you now also have the empty box of) and actually, a colleague of my father recommended it and put it in my PC. When I later started upgrading the PC myself, I recognized the empty socket and the "ASP" on the invoice for the sound card which made me suspicious. The dealer, actually a very great local store back then, agreed on the mistake but as exchanging a meantime 2 year old card was not an option provided me the upgrade kit which I put in myself.
The demos for Q Sound and Text to Speech were impressing, the disappointment was that nearly nothing supported this - I think there were one or two DOS/Early Windows 95 games that supported Q Sound and the 3D Pseudo Surround was noticable, but not much around for this.
That P4 is from the best series in the entire family. You’d never have actually bought that one back in the day of course, you bought the 2.4 and overclocked it to 3.2, but these days it doesn’t really matter.
A video with a book for which Clint was interviewed; featuring a photograph of him using a PC... This is the REAL Metaverse.
Had the pleasure of flipping the like-counter to 10K :D
Until probably 2008 or so, blind folks in the US who got magazines from the Library of Congress National Library Service for the blind and print-disabled got them on flexible discs. Can't remember if like the cassettes they played back at a custom half-speed, but it's a good bet that they did. They didn't actually bother making them round though-they were square! Last time I used these things was early to mid 90s. Some years later the business card CD caught on and it kind of reminded me of those old square records.
BTW Clint, Ranma 1/2 … literally anything can become an impromptu martial arts competition at a second's notice. The story about the 1/2 part is maybe something they just wouldn't do today, but I totally recommend the show otherwise because it's just ridiculous in the best way possible.
An all around enjoyable repair video. It had a little bit of everything including the satisfying result of a successful repair. Nice work!
I like these videos, I can live vicariously through you and I don't need to find a place to store all these things. That's your problem. lol :) Have a good rest of the year Clint.
We just got a letter
We just got a letter
We just got a letter
It has been 6 months :D
Love the simplicity and clean feel to your videos. Keep it up sir !
7:00 What a great idea to facilitate extending the life and usefulness of floppy disk drives / drive A: port on motherboards
Nothing like calming LGR after a long day
It’s quite great that LGR is back making videos about the mail people send him, it’s actually really interesting.
I agree, very much fascinating to see what curiosities people from around the world send him - and for us to feast our eyeballs on!
He never stopped, though...
Deletes c:/windows/system32
Maison Ikkoku was a favorite of mine back in the day. Lucky find!
Glad to see the calculator I sent made it!! Keep the great content coming!!
Definitely got a 'BTTF cafe 80's window display' vibe with that thumbnail
Nice, a Maison Ikkoku screen saver, I like these DOS-V, japanese Windows software, it's a unique kind of aesthetic with those pixelated graphics. I remember wanting a Ranma 1/2 software pack on a CD a friend had for his Amiga.
The flexi disk sparked a primal memory. Has LGR ever covered the scannable software that used to be distributed in “strips” in magazines? They had a reader wand that plugged into a serial or mouse port, and you’d scan and it would type a program in basic into the computer (typically AppleSoft Basic).
"A multitude of dumps."
YTPers: "Oh yeah, this is gonna work out great."
Congratulations on completing your moving and back to normal
Thank you!
5:53 i would totally buy those if i came across those in a shop
That woodgrain PC case feels like it'd be a great fit for an XP machine. Could go even older but much older and you dont really need that much cooling, and while it's wood the style is definitely more modern than an 80s/90s feeling machine
I remember back in the 70s or 80s some cereal boxes came with flexidisc records on the back of the box that you could cut out.
Those mouse pads from Harry are beyond awesome! By any chance did he upload the master images anywhere, or perhaps a link for buying from him? Would love to add a couple of those to my collection, and I’m sure a lot of others here would too!
I see that Harry is here in the comments as well!
Awesome video as always! Btw, "Kanto" means a (tree) stump in Finnish. :D
The Creative package with the Cambridge Soundworks speakers is awesome! I did a review of the CSW Model 12, a stereo inside a suitcase, a few years ago. The video didn't get much love but those units are so cool! Great video as always, like we were with you opening the packages, thanks for sharing the experience 👌
This is all lovely. So many new old things I missed. OS/2 Warp was the best OS ever.
Love this type of episode it's always a treat! Thanks LGR!
