yea the only problem now is to try to find space for more games my closet. My father thinks I'm a hoarder LOL

LGR

Whoa, very nice progression in a year there

LGR

Thank you! And did you get my message about me sending another signed floppy since you never got yours?

Trevor Whelan

nice video mate

Marc

I definitely do, you have taught me a lot about old school PC gaming and now thifting which is awesome.On an awesome note I had some good luck last week finding a NES2 complete at a goodwill for $10 works just fine. You are probably the biggest outlet to influence me the to start collecting video games myself, now about a year or so after of starting I am hitting about 450-500 games.

LGR

Really glad to hear then :) Hope you continue to enjoy and even get some use from them

Marc

I found your channel not to long ago, and now I am hooked. Screw listening to my ipod on my hour commute to class I stream your episodes from my phone to my cars sound system. It really helps fight my agoraphobia and OCD for some reason.

LGR

Thanks a lot!

Marc

LGR

Nice, glad to see you here man!

StigDesign1

now am here too(StigDesign1) at youtube :D i had to see this video XD

LGR

Now THAT is a cool idea. Or even with Typing of the Dead. Will have to see about it sometime

LGR

Man, getting Red Baron pizza in Chicago is like getting cheap American wine in France.

Ezydenias

real nice those longboxes. But ever using those big boxes made it very easy to spot PS1 games. Also Dreamcast games had bigger boxes over here to, As far I can tell they mostly use regular cd cases to in NTSC land right?

Michael Flores

"Mario teaches typing 2" , Nice!.. 1992 . 3rd grade for me. Yup, play your friends to see who's faster, Doom came out the next year I think, and nothing else mattered for a year or 2. PushingUp and you should Twitch and a have a type off.

Michael Hogan

Firstly, how was the Red Baron pizza scene in Chicago? Secondly, you should keep an eye out for a Rug Doctor on your thrift runs...that carpet looks worse than the fridge you came across.

If limbo was anything like Grim Fandango, maybe that's actually kinda nice... XD

LGR

I've been looking for an old radio like that for many years now, but they're always either far too expensive or don't work at all. Wish I knew how to repair them!

LGR

Not sure why, but that's just how it is for the most part! Although, NTSC PS1 games originally came in "long boxes", one of which I showed in the previous Thrifts episode.

LGR

You got it! I always found it weird that Sony products have such different designs over in PAL-land. All black here, even the greatest hits versions which just have a red label.

LGR

You're welcome.

LGR

Same here. If I'm not already dead. I may in fact be in limbo after coming in such close contact with that thing.

LGR

Sweet, glad you're enjoying!

Ezydenias

Good damn what a nice old Radio. For 10 Bucks I would picked it, because I kinda have the now how or at least I am gaining the know how to fix those. I love those old Radios and Speakers. And they come with a decent prise (even working ones). But I have to admid that many of those old Amplifier are not very energysaving.

Ezydenias

Also second question how come I've never saw an NTSC PS1 game in everything else but a standard CD case while all PAL PS1 games came in this iconic big cases wher you ever wonder (for one CD? Allot of Space).

Ezydenias

Wait wait wait wait wait.... wait... wait... just wait, you want me to tell that the NTSC Versions of the PS2 games are in Black Cases not in Blue ones? So only Pal in Blue? Blows my mind, I thought that was somekind of Marketing Strategy so you ever know what is PS2 (except the platinum ones, those where silver of course).

Christian Doyle

Bloody hell mate, you just made me spit my coffee over my keyboard! Haha!

Øyvind Hvidsten

I'm here to kick ass and watch LGR. And I'm all out of ass.

Christian Doyle

Heh, another quality thrifts vid. But Jesus Christ that angel face will haunt my sleep!

Alyxx the Rat

I have Deus Ex: Conspiracy for PS2 actually. Decent port although severely scaled down to accommodate the console limitations. And SiN: Emergence is a nice game. Great pickups although I swear that doll face will be the last thing I see as I die...
