The fact the ink sat around so long and dried up in a Duke Nukem Forever pen is basically the most fitting thing ever!
LOL
Clint now needs a McLaren F1 for his new laptop
Currently accepting donations.
I'll call Zak Brown
EDIT: Seriously though, you have to do a video with the McLaren F1 team. Guaranteed they would love it.
I wonder if there is a McLaren keyboard. Could send just the key.
@@Merrinen I imagend a dockingstation for the dockingstation in order to fix the F1. ;)
Turns out the stupid Conditional Access Module depends on the implementation of PCMCIA (or Enhanced Option Slot as Compaq called it between 1992 to 1995) in the Compaq LTE 5280 and MS-DOS in order to run correctly. Meanwhile there should be a emulator for recent Windows versions but only since around 3 years it seems.
This will not be an uncommon problem regarding future oldtimers which will also depends on software and hardware for MS-DOS, Win9X or Win XP.
@@LGR If I had one I would've sent that too for the great content.
That poster with Clint's face was too good
That poster won the internets!
Thanks, I do appreciate it.
Man, the fact that you stop to read Em's letter and wish her well is super cool. Thanks for being part of the awesome side of the internet.
the best youtubers are not like youtubers at all
Yeah season 3 of LGR anime is solid af. very wholesome
S-Super cool? O-okay.
Man.
@@rbxgemini wow dude idk how you can throw shade at 8BG that guy is really awesome and the content he produces is awesome. 8BG is a national treasure. respect him.
@@rbxgemini I found a motherboard in a dumpster once and traded it to a guy for a cigarette and the guy threw it at a car after I gave it to him.
The weather station package put me in a wistful mood that perhaps one day LGR will be simply a small weather station broadcasting over short band radio from the foothills of Appalachia
Slightly irrelevant but thanks for having accurate captions - I’ve got sensory processing issues and I basically can’t watch videos with people talking without captions and it’s just so much easier for me when the captions are actually correct! I know it’s kinda strange to comment on but I definitely appreciate it
My pleasure, I'm glad they're useful!

Congratulations to the person who sent the Compaq, you broke Clint for a hot minute
Storage Company: So, how many lots do you want to rent?
LGR: Yes
Storage Company: Uuuh, when you say "yes", you mean...
LGR: Yes
LGR: It's a meme.
Storage company:...
LGR: I don't get it either.
To be honest: What are you going to do with all this stuff? Storing it doesn’t make sense if you’ll never get back to it. You should either sell it on or throw it away now (instead of waiting 30 years).
Few things are as pure as Clint’s giggles when opening fan mail lol
"Cool shirt, that looks like a parallel port... but... it doesnt have the right amount of pins???" - Clint 2020, with the most LGR comment ive heart in a while.
You are a beautiful human beeing sir, dont you ever change. Just incredible.
lights: goodbye
Clint: STAY FESTIVE DAMMIT!
As a Guatemalan, I have to admit that I got a bit excited to see Guatemalan coffee in this video (specially coffee that comes from small rural producers). Hope you enjoyed it! We have very good coffee here!
Thank Clint for featuring my gift! Glad the mug arrived safely before christmas!
Your letter resonated with me. LGR is truly a comfort food for me also during tough times. Battling depression is rough but it helps when we can find a bit of solace in things even as simple as a UA-cam channel. As LGR said, here's hoping things get even better in 2021 :)
@@awake4ages I’m glad my letter can resonate with someone! I want to be a counselor and help others. I guess that’s one way I can start!
One day shitty notebooks and posters for 2013 games are going to be considered as retro tech. Crazy to think about it.
The reason retro stuff is so rare is because it has to go through gauntlet of when it's just old junk. 8 - 16 year old things get thrown away. 16+ suddenly it's valuable...
They're already nostalgic, give it 15 more years lmao
it will never be the beginning of home computing tho
thats why i am keeping all of my tech because i know it will be retro once, i still got a ps3 and in a couple of years it will be retro
Holy shit, time is linear. Mind blown.
I like to think that past LGR and future LGR are separate entities both trying to run the channel but past LGR keeps putting off problems on future LGR causing this animosity between the two
That must be why Future LGR donned the santa hat and became the way he/they/it are.
It is that time of year for two LGRs is it not?
What if past LGR and future LGR line up between timelines and somehow collide into one single LGR

We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank pfp
Clint's voice makes me sleep better
Yes.
That´s Good! :)
yup
He gives good back rubs
Me to!! 1# go to!
Hey Clint, the weatherstation is an awesome donation! I installed a few of those when I was working for a technology service group as part of a dairy co-op. Dairy Farms have to track the weather and keep records because they are also out spreading manure on their fields. They can't spread it when it's raining or going to rain, because too much of it ends up in the surrounding creeks and rivers. They can get audited and have to show when there was rain and how much related to when they spread manure. Fun Stuff!
that K-pop group was huge at that time... it's really cool to see a bit of my country in your videos sometimes! Greetings from SK!
You've got mail! What an appropriate sound for a mail call video.
hehe I remember those "mail sounds" was the big thing back then, there was even one with Arnold and with Yoda and so on :D they were brilliant (kinda miss em)
I once owned an ATI Stereo F/X sound card. (without video)
There is one on eBay for ~$300.
FCC ID is from 7/29/1991
That Duke poster.... Wow that was a good "Got'cha" right there... :) Hail to the king (of retrotech) baby...
That shopped Duke poster is hysterical LOL
That Quarterdeck memory manager (QEMM) brings back memories. I used to use QEMM a long time ago. Those of you who remember MS-DOS days, remember the struggle to get enough memory in the first 640 KiB to run some games like Wing Commander 3. With QEMM, I was able to get about 620 KiB available, which was more than enough to run pretty much every DOS game.
That Compaq laptop and dock sure bring back memories, I used to deploy them to users... they weighed a ton, completely over the top and $$$$$ too! FYI - There are two spring loaded things above the LED indicators & battery button, these depress down to accommodate a large monitor stand attachment on top... once those spring loaded things depress down, they provide a recess to lock in the monitor stand to stop it sliding around. An absolute behemoth once all assembled together. 🤣
You haven’t lived until you’ve had to install OS/2 Warp 3.0 on one of those.
I really hope we get to see Clint Nukem merch at some point; that’s incredible
Very interested to see a Windows 1 install.
Same
@@alexsilva28 Well, it's not very pretty. I have version 1.01 running on a 286, about the best part of it is Reversi, or maybe Paint. I don't have a lot of applications for it, and not many were written specifically for it at the time IIRC. Frankly, DOSShell from MS-DOS 5 and 6 is a better file management tool and application launcher.
@@AndrewAMartin Reversi? You've just solved a mystery. When I was at Primary School (aged 5 or 6) one of the computers had Reversi and I couldn't remember the details. It must have been one of the RM Nimbus 186s that we had. Not PC-compatible but ran an early, customised, version of Windows.
Nice one.
I'm interested to see how much hassle he will come across... Windows 1 is a temperamental piece of software. Of course, it's nothing compared to Windows/386 2.x, which I have never managed to install.
@@VectraQS your installation woes may be due to DOS version compatibility. I'm running Windows 1 on DOS 6.22, but to do so, I had to use VER.EXE to tell Windows that it was DOS version 3.3.
Back in the day, we had schools around the state receive these as part of a grant. Students set up weather stations at many of the schools and they remained in place for a long time. I had forgotten about these gems!
That packing peanut made me genuinely feel happy
Idk how you can hold yourself back from opening these when you get them. I get excited when my meds show up.
Now all you need to do is speak to Vinwiki about finding a McLaren F1 to borrow for an Oddware episode.
They are actually located very close to each other. Would be a neat episode.
There's also Jay Leno as another possibility...
@@IndygoEEI Vinwiki are probably easier to contact.
a little shrewd negotiating never heart no one
"I will single handedly Re Populate the Entire Earth" - Duke Nukem, Land of the Babes
Oh, if someone hasn't mentioned it yet Clint, the Stereo F/X was a sound card made by ATI back when the Sound Blaster was becoming popular. The VGA Stereo F/X was the same, but also was a VGA card as well. I see them now and then on eBay, and they ain't cheap, let me tell ya.
Why is so oddly satisfying to watch someone else open up packages? Must be the whole unknown part. You got 44 mins of viewing time from me. Ha ha, hope you all have a great Christmas!
anyone likes the mystery of opening presents... it's like gambling, or scrolling through the news feed, you never know what you get, and your dopamine increseas.
I suggest 1.75x play speed for you, he speaks so slowly, at this speed he sounds normal
Well, surprise for the viewers, for him not a big surprise, he selects the donations, only pickup the good stuff. Dont know why people still send stuff to him
@@oturgator Slowly? To me he sounds normal.
It's the fact that it's old tech that interests me. I hear of "unboxing" videos and they can quite frankly go to hell!
I loved Spiderman Cartoon Maker and The Journeyman Project growing up. I can't stop staring at the boxes in the background.
Same dude
42:14 A docking station for a docking station! How Inceptionous! ^_^
13:13 Plot twist: That was always Duke Nukems face.
As a german i can tell you, that neapolitaner stuff is super yummy!
for that laptop beast, the software in question was likely "Mitchel on demand", it came on like 32 cd's and a floppy install, it was basically all the manuals for car repairs but in CD format in order to use it you had to swap CD's out alot and to save time I could see multiple drives being used
Need to fill that IBM mug up in an LGR foods episode.
Yeah, I miss LGR Foods!
The Kodak picture disk and that APS film are my cousin’s first bridge to digital photography, there was a camera that let you see pictures digitally on a LCD screen before you developed the film. He used APS before he went fully digital!
It's like a ton of Christmas presents from around the world...
A whole episode dedicated to that chunky laptop at the end of the video please.
Had this in a playlist waiting for me to be ready to watch, and it actually got me in more of a Christmas spirit! Great stuff, always fascinating to see what comes through to the inbox.
Your enthusiasm for tech is contagious. Thank you for sharing it. :)
I love these unboxing vids man! Keep em coming
The Lexbook - a laptop that sounds like a halloween coffin.
It's been 2 years since i subbed to you,i watched all your vids,i love your content and learned so much,thank u LGR❤️
Way cool! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming episodes dealing with this tech.
Merry Christmas! I can't wait until you delve deeper into that Compaq.
16:40. More Matrox nonsense I now need to own. Damn.
You can also check Matrox G200 test on my channel.
It was watching one of your vids that made me buy a Parhelia...
@@chriscrossan8034 I've been using one for the last 2 weeks. Awesome cards.
Holy shit budget builds when you going to upload again? A week is too long! Lol all jokes aside I love your videos man! A big fan since 10k subs
@@JohnDoe69000 Heyo, new video on Sunday. It’s a big one 👍
Glad to see you too is letting the beard grow festive for the holidays :) A wonderful video of fun tech, thank you very much to everyone involved for making my afternoon!
holy crap what a vid. I was completely awestruck by that weather station kit, I am so absolutely looking forward to an LGR vid on that whole thing. And then when you opened that Compaq my jaw immediately hit the floor. Goodness goodness me.
Heh - Those ATi speakers were probably just given away as promo gear, usually at trade shows or other 'booth' type events. There's all kinds of stuff. I used to get t-shirts, rolls of stickers and other items for free from AMD in the early 2000s
38:00 Maybe you can set up a retro Weather Underground community station!
Happy Holidays, Clint.
Thanks for another year of great content. Hope you have the best time you can, circumstances allowing.
Thank you so much for the video. I really enjoy the unboxings.
I guess one bonus to having covid is I get to watch this right when it drops
This too shall pass
@@NikoNoxious hopefully sooner rather than later. I finally have free time, but no energy to enjoy it with, lol
@@Stout936 i just recently got over it. Most of my trouble was contacting everyone I had seen in 2 weeks and also dealing with people accusing me of spreading it. After I felt better I was stuck on quarantine for 2 weeks. Hopefully you feel better soon!!
I just had to swab my own nose for a, as Adrian Black calls it, "human malware" test this morning, so this is a nice treat!
For proper credit, I think Steve of Gamers Nexus was the first to coin that at a point when UA-cam would guaranteed demonetize any mention of it by name, because Google is Google.
That's like a term from 90s Douglas Coupland novel. I like it.
That silence at 39:53 is what awe sounds like.
Thank you, Clint for all the enjoyment you've brought us this year!
I for real look forward to these videos, thank you my brother
I just found out my uncle died last night and the video really raised my spirits
I’m sorry for your loss
rest in peace, sorry to hear
You should of kept better care of those. They're vintage!!!
@@Nate-ez3bw what
Obviously LGR has been a good boy....🎅🏽
Great video LGR recently subscribed but been a watcher for a while it's amazing to see you and others bring these old machines back into use. I hope someday I can find an 486 the IBM is a wonderful looking machine by the way.
Dont know why. But i find your unboxings/mail calls very soothing. Maybe its because of the great donations.
In my grade school years i remember playing around with that spiderman cartoon maker back in the early to mid 90s lol it was quite a thing indeed .id watch a review of it , hint , hint lol
Just watched a video of that Myst "Demake" awesome stuff and very funny! You should definitely do a vid on it!
You've certainly brought most, if not all of us, quite a bit of entertainment even on videos you thought were long or drawn out. With most being stuck at home or are going through issues and need an escape from life for a bit, you've certainly helped.
That "World's Smallest Laptop" magnet was something my grandparents had also! I haven't seen it in MANY years. Man, seeing one in this video brought back fond memories!
Ahhh Clint Nukem 3D, those were the days. XD
making that coffee crisp disappear is clearly the highlight.
How do you like your coffee?
Also, I had one of those Compaq laptops with the dock - identical to how you see it - in 2002. It was awesome. So expandable, so useful, great modular design. I loved this computer SO MUCH. If I remember correctly, you could get a CRT table that would sit over top of the laptop when closed and support the weight of the monitor. You could hot plug and unplug the laptop from the dock and "go". Again, one of my favorite laptops ever.
Wow! That Compaq laptop with its docking station brings back memories. I worked there for almost 20 years here in Houston. I clearly remember building many of those. It may be collectible someday!
It can't be a LGR video if Clint doesn't sniff something
I can already see the video: "Playing games and fixing an F1 car on Vintage Compaq Laptop, ft. Formula One driver Lando Norris"
Actually, the Mclaren F1 is not a formula one car but a sport car : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1
Its not an F1 car its a super car named the F1
So many fantastic, old gadgets and promos! Lucky, Clint! 😊 Enjoy them!
Happy Holidays, LGR! I can't wait to see those laptops in future videos!
Hi Clint, I owned a Compaq LTE 5000 until recently, mostly for Retro Gaming (640x480px active matrix display, OPL3 Soundblaster). I have tons of documentation and drivers laying around, so if you need anything for a video about the LTE series let me know.
My dad had a IBM coffee mug as well h got it in 1999 for a event
Your videos are food for my tech driven soul, thank you LGR 🙏
I enjoy your video's , I did not have a computer back when and to see snippets of past hardware and software , games is neat indeed .
12:46 I also made the sound out loud when I heard the cap pop off that tube XD
Who else pauses on the letters people send in to read the whole thing?
literally was just binge watching all of your other unboxing videos... this is perfect.
I'm so happy right now. NEW LGR OPENING STUFF VIDEO!!
There we go, 44 minutes of being jealous haha
Coffee Crisp, a nice "light" snack.
It's kinda related to Kit Kat.
Bet many Canadians like me where hoping he would take a big fat bite out of it and react!
As a Canadian abroad, I jumped when I saw this. They're SO GOOD.
@@chic-geek ❤ Coffee Crisp.
While I can sometimes get it locally, I can't wait for the border to re-open so I can get it whenever the heck I want (and cheaper, too, as last I checked it was 0.82 CAD at Dollarama vs. 1.69 USD at Wegmans).
@@fnjesusfreak I'm over the pond so it's tricky to get here, though maybe not impossible! £1.50 when ordered from a snack importer, plus shipping. Yikes.
@@chic-geek Ouchies. :(
I'm literally down the street from the border, so I'm champing at the bit for them to reopen it.
8:13 Clint, I only recently stumbled on your channel. I don't care for the tech or the stuff...ok maybe I do a little, but I enjoy your tone and presentation more. Telling the stories of the 90s, which I remember through TV and magazines. Wishing you nothing but the best for 2021...Keep safe, my friend!
Holy cow! That magnet with the You've Got Mail! I had a friend who had one of those. What a random memory from the late 90's!
You should get a CentOS mug with that IBM mug.
that compaq laptop is the final boss when you beat all the other laptops
I'd laugh if it was a prolinea compaq laptop.
Wow! Quarterdeck Memory manager was the shizzle back in the day. I used to use it to run multiple instances of WWIV BBSes so you could have more than one person able to log in to your BBS at a time. It really brings me back.
oh my gosh, THE JOURNEY MAN PROJECT TURBO , i remember owning it , oh man....Clint just gave me a rush of nostalgia , i remember exactly carrying that game home as i walked the neighborhood, eager to get home and play it....wonderful how such a random thing triggers a distant memory in your mind, thanks Clint.
Christmas is every month over at LGR lol.
32:58 It's _almost_ oddware, but it looks too useful to be (and isn't exactly obsolete yet, as Powerpoint controller remote things are still used to this day).
So many cool things!
Can't wait to see that Bomber game, thay copy protection looked wild. And that Compaq monster thing.
Thanks Clint, hope you enjoy the posters just thought the Duke poster was hilarious.
"Oh honey he's teasing you. Nobody has three CD drive!"
*sees the posters*
Well, your LGRcade is coming along...
That laptop & dock is magnificent, can't wait for the video about it.
Amazing posters! Thanks for the video Clint, happy hollidays!
