(Ominous organ music) (typing, rock beat) Greetings and welcome to Lazy Game Reviews. LGR has been going on for six years now, and I can't believe it https://motoracer-thegame.com/.
I also can't believe that I've been putting off this exact video for that length of time as well But now we're gonna do something about it because an anniversary is the time to do something special, like take a look at a couple thousand PC games. Big box PC games! The best kind. I've got a lot of them, as you might have seen from that intro shot, Which is a new place that I have. I mostly have been filming in this exact set, room, office, spare area for the whole six years, but recently I was able to expand. And now I'm able to show all the stuff. So, what we're going to do for this video is show some stuff! First, what I want to do is just sort of give an overview of everything and then we're gonna go into some nitty gritty details after that. But, yeah, story time first. If you would like skip that, then just hit that little thingy right there, annotation, or there's gonna be a link in the description as well where you can skip all the rambling and go to more rambling, but detailed rambling. This is a ramble as well, just in case you weren't aware so if you want to skip this kinda stuff, it's a good idea. Anyway, let's get right to it! So this right here is the office space in my home that I've use to record LGR since the beginning. It's a really small little area, only 10 by 10 room. And it really hasn't changed a whole lot in all these years. But yeah, this is the place where the famous "ugly chair" is, my '70s chair. This thing's awesome, as well as this neat LGR doily that somebody made for me. (laughs) And, yeah, some really awesome artwork here on the walls as well and a couple of arcade flyers. I don't mind collecting these, although I don't really ever run across them very often. "Out of This World" poster 'cause great game. And, of course, the editing station where I do all of the work, and capturing and just everything for LGR. Although, I'd really like to redo this a little because it's getting old. Yeah, just a quick overview of up above where all my games start to be stored. And, yeah, we're gonna look at this in much more detail here. But this is pretty much what you've seen in the background of the majority of my videos over the past six years. Everything is just kinda stacked in here precariously and I haven't bothered to organize it very much because I would like to move some point in the nearish future, so I just, you know. I'll pack it up when I have to. But yeah, here is the other room! The other room is more than twice the size of my little room that I've been recording in for years. And, yeah, it's full of way more stuff here that I've mostly just had in storage up to this point and now here we go. I've got it stored but now I know that I'm not exactly a paragon of tidiness, but I'm also not a hoarder. And obsessive hoarding is a very different thing. In fact, I find it offensive when people will just say, "Oh, you're such a hoarder!" Not because it's offensive to me, but it's offensive to other people that actually have it, you know? It's a clinically diagnosed psychological condition and it's not something to be made light of. I know a person that was a hoarder. You couldn't even walk inside because of just trash and stuff stacked up. It was REALLY sad and this is just not like that. This is something that I care about to a great degree, but I'm also particular about what I want in here. I focus mainly on things that I remember from childhood or growing up, or just seeing in magazines, or that friends had that I always found really intriguing but also things that are noteworthy for a historical milestone or something, or just is so absolutely obscure that, you know, I just say, "Wow, this could be really neat to cover on LGR sometime." I don't care about going for sealed stuff. I don't care about duplicates. I don't really even like boxes in terrible condition. I pass up way more stuff than I come across. And usually I find these things at thrift stores, but also eBay and Amazon on occasion, as well as lots of donations in recent years. In fact, a whole lot of this stuff has been donated because I've been doing LGR and people just wanna see it covered, or they want it to go to somewhere where it's gonna be taken care of. And I've been happy to take in a lot of stuff. Although, I've probably taken in too much. Yeah, if you see anything you've sent me, then thank you very much once again. A lot of people ask how long have I been collecting, because this looks like a long time. Really, it's only been about eight years. I started collecting in 2006 Frick, it's almost nine years now. I was in college and I was perusing local thrift stores because... college student, low on cash, whatever. And I just needed some clothes and stuff. But I happened to run across a copy of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Edition for MS-DOS. It was complete in the box. It was a dollar. It's the first time I'd seen 5¼-inch floppy disks in... a long time.
