LGR is now retro.

Fifteen years of duke impressions, classic pc games, old beige crap boxes, thrifting and wood grain. Good times

And now we need a Lazy “Lazy Game Reviews” Reviews channel where we review classic episodes :)

As a person who grew up in the 70s and 80s and who could not afford her own consoles until the late 80s, and had to use other ppls computers until the late 90s, I appreciate how big the community is now showing off old computers/consoles and getting them running. I own a few computers and a number of consoles now, among the things i inherited from my uncle that got me into this stuff when i was a little kid. I could never afford or have the space for all the stuff that you're able to show Clint, it's awesome to see your enthusiasm for things, and patience to get super weird things running. And I'm so happy a lot of other people have gotten into this to show us just how far we have come, see what is possible on old hardware and new. I love my Steamdeck and never imagined, considering how Linux was back in 97, that I could run it on a handheld 20+ some years later and 70% not just Steam games on the go. ❤ What a time to be a nerd, and a bird nerd. 🐦 I cannot remember when I started watching, probably around 2011/2012. Here's to many more years🎉

You never sold out, you never became cringe trying to reinvent yourself. You're you. We love you man. No click bait, no sponsor crap, just a guy with a passion and it shows. Favourite youtuber, favourite channel.

To put it in terms LGR fans can uniquely comprehend: LGR has existed for the same duration between Duke Nukem 3d and Duke Nukem Forever.

I fell out of the habit of watching a lot of older channels because they got repetitive but you've done an incredible job of changing just enough or finding new passions to keep it fresh. Never phoned it in. That's a rare thing.

My son is 12 and he loves games from when I was a kid. He was a Gameboy Advance, plays my Genesis first thing when he comes over, and always asks if I have my DS. Got an emulation handheld from his mom too. Retro gaming isnt just for us who lived theough it, which is really cool, and I think its thanks to guys like you that kids can truly appreciate the history of tech and gaming. So thanks and congrats for the past 15 years and heres to 15 more! (If you want lol)

When your channel covering retro becomes retro itself... Retroception

You weren't there for the retro boom... You PIONEERED it. You're a legend mate

How nice to hear a KZfaqr saying "This is great!" Speaking as a late-comer, really enjoying this stuff.

Maaaaan, I can't believe it's been so long. Thanks for sticking with it. You may not feel "alone" in the scene anymore, but you've always been a beacon worth sticking with.

Congrats on 15 years! I've been watching for about the last 10 years and I'm still loving your videos. The price of retro hardware is crazy these days, but the most encouraging part for me is the young people getting into it. Our 10 year old and his friends are really into 90s computing and they design their own games with pixelart graphics and chiptune music. It's great to see retro computing inspiring so many people. I just wish I had kept that 486 we had. Or the Tandy 1000EX. Or that BeBox I bought used in the late 90s. Or the Next Station. Or even that old Roland Alpha Juno 2 ... 😬

Here's to 15 more

Ya couldn't throw in the classic intro for this one? Man... For real though, I'm amazed! 15 years?!?!?! I feel like I got in close to the ground floor, which is crazy! Long live LGR! Viva! Viva!

KZfaq needs to start up a Hall of Fame for content creators, and you would definitely be an inductee. Amazing channel LGR. You've done the retro scene a great service. Thanks for the last 15 years.

Over 50 year male here. Love your stuff takes me down memory lane. Keep up the excellent work!

It’s always funny to me when I watch old LGR Thrifts, and Clint finds something like a pristine complete in box SNES for like 2 cents and says “oh that’s pretty cool” and moves on lol. Meanwhile in 2024 there are people lining up before Goodwill opens to scalp all the gaming items

I started watching you when I was 10. Now I'm 18 and have a moderately sized retro collection of consoles and computers.

This is the thing I love most of all about KZfaq -- the interaction that develops between the content creators and the viewers. After a while, a bond develops that makes the content creator feel part of our lives; so, this 15-year anniversary is a special moment for us all🙂

Thrifting no longer being fun happened here west of Asheville several years ago. I asked and apparently resellers are gobbling everything up as soon as it comes in checking daily.

dear god. It's been 15 years. I was one of the first 1000 people to subscribe to LGR (I'm the dude who sent you an Apple IIc in like 2010 or 2011). Always liked your style, I still actually like the old videos too but I also like the direction you've gone as well. Here's to 15 more years.

Not just one of the best KZfaq channels, but one of the best spots on the internet

Found your channel when you talked about Bonzi Buddy, a key icon in my early computer days and a lesson in malware. You've been my "He posted today I need to stop what I'm doing and watch" routine ever since. Thank you for the years of awesome content, Duke-impressions, and opening my eyes to the retro PC space. You're one the best folks on KZfaq, stay Groovy.

when the sims 3 starts qualifying as retro gaming, we know we've gotten old.

When I was ten (2013ish) I found LGR, and your videos became my nightly routine at a rough time in my childhood. I found an iPod Touch for $5 at a neighbors yard sale, and every night I would stay up waiting for my mom to get home from her job around 10pm always watching LGR. I had sleep issues and would watch LGR until I fell asleep even after she was home. 15 years of LGR and 11 years of growing up with it from my perspective. I don't think I've watched any other channel so consistently and for so long. Every once in a while I get sick of my "Bar Rescue" for background noise while I sleep and go back to autoplaying LGR videos.

We're still here watching for a reason, you've not only got your finger on the pulse of the scene, but you're genuine commentary and exploration of it is the high water mark of content covering that. Here's to 15 years!

Greetings from Colombia. I found your channel several years ago and I loved it and I still do. I think you represent a lot of us who like these geeky things. Never change!

The retro scene has changed alright - higher prices of stuff, and scarcity of items, emulation replacing retro hardware, etc.

The retro scene is forever changing. Whats new today will someday be retro.

Glad to hear you feel your videos are getting better and better because it comes across to viewers too! I’ve been watching for years and every new video that comes out is of equally high quality or better, here’s to 15 more years!

I'm so glad you are still here making content for us and having fun after going through the burn out and hard times a couple years ago. Thank you for all your hard work and everything you do

15 more years and LGR will get his own Tech Tales.

What was new is now retro.

I found your channel via Did You Know Gaming and have been very thankful to be a fan for all these years. Congrats, LGR! Here’s to 15 more!

Happy 15 years! I love your videos. I still remember binge watching your videos during my last breakup 7 years ago as a fond memory.

It almost astounds me how long I’ve been watching LGR. Started when I was 11-12 watching your Sims 3 reviews, got interested in all the “old” PC games I’d never heard of, and now i’m 23 and still tune in to your channel to watch your new videos. This might be odd for you, but to me you were a big part of my childhood/teen years and I will always put on your videos when I need some nostalgia. Also, it’s fun to learn all this information about vintage PC gaming, hardware, software and so on.

The marriage between modern HD & 4K digital video hosted on KZfaq, and vintage computers and technology is a great mix

Congrats!! Been following you for many years now and always love the care and attention you put into your videos! Here's to more!

Thank you for these 15 years 😊 you're still my favorite channel to watch, 15 years later! Take care, Clint! Cheers!

To provide some direct feedback: I watch your videos because they evoke a sense of coziness, calm, and relaxation. Old technology, especially from the 90s, fills me with nostalgia. Everything back then felt fresh, new, and somehow innocent compared to today. These days, almost everything looks the same. However, back then, you encountered so much intriguing and unusual stuff, some of which you've featured in your "Oddware" episodes. Old tech reminds me of a time I recall as easier and more peaceful, even if not as comfortable as today. Keep up the excellent work, Clint! Greetings from Germany.

I hadn't realized LGR had been around that long. When I think of channels that got started in the oughts, it's usually the "angry ranting man" channels like AVGN.

I've been watching your content for over 5 years. Keep up the fantastic work. I haven't gotten into this hobby, but find all of your videos interesting and worth watching!

You have measured up doing videos time and again, retrospectives has been a core reason for me sticking with you, taking a journey back through an old game.

I'm 55 years old and got my first computer (ZX Spectrum) at 12 years old and have never looked back. The reason I watch your channel is because of your obvious passion for the subject and secondly your sense of humour (apologies for the British spelling), which are the two key ingredients every content creator needs in my opinion. Here's to another 15 years of quality LGR videos. Peace and love from the UK.

I miss OG Retroware. There were so many good creators there. That was how I found this channel.

I’m glad I found this channel awhile back it keeps me sane. Thanks for everything Clint, even though I only subscribed a few years ago.

I've been liking your vids since ages ago - love the laid-back, not-too-serious style while still being meticulously detailed. So thank YOU for the awesome content.

thanks for sharing your passion with us LGR

You've grown up in front of the world. That's not easy, but you've done it well. Congrats on a well-deserved 15 years, and best wishes for many more.

Congrats on 15 years! I love watching your videos for the computer tech, and just reliving the 80's and 90's! Cheers!

Seriously, you are in my top5 KZfaq channels. I'm always getting so nostalgic when I watch your content. Some things I haven't seen in more than 25 years. Thanks for your work & effort! On the next 15 years of LGR❤

Started watching you for the Sims 3 reviews in 2018, but your passion for vintage tech kept me reeled in.

15 years of Christmas LGR 🎄 ❤️

You were one of the first "retro" channels I was aware of and you are still the best. Congratulations on 15 years!

Massive congrats on 15 years! You're probably the first youtuber i remember really getting into everything you posted, you proved to me that youtube was a unique platform for people to get their own home grown content out there. Cant believe its been going long enough for your first videos to be considered retro! And I still have a "aw hell yeah" whenever I get the notification of a new video. Its been amazing watching the way you've grown the channel, and you deserve all your success!!

15 years is a very long time for a KZfaq creator and I hope you'll enjoy making those videos like we enjoy watching them

I've been watching since I was 8 years old, I'm 18 now, you're channel fostered my interest in vintage computing, I remember I would save my allowance to go to thrift stores and garage sales because of you're thrifting series, parents always thought it was weird. I can almost entirely thank your channel for my current career path (electrical technician) So thank you LGR, I will continue to watch for years to come.

I'm going to a rough time right now and hearing you saying that you feel your best has yet to come kind of relaxes me a bit, your videos have become a sort of 'comfort food' for me over the years. Why am I listening? Because you present it all in a relaxed way that makes you feel comfortable about being a geek, nerd out whatever we were called back then and even now. And unlike many other KZfaqrs, your videos feel more 'private' if that's a thing. First games on my crappy taped together 286, seeing the magic of voodoo for the first time, fiddling around with settings... Today I often don't have the patience anymore but simply watching you fiddling around with this stuff makes me feel 'home', so thank you LGR.

Tossing in my congrats for all these years. All your videos fall into my comfort channel category. Thanks for your passion, and honesty in your videos.

I have a very specific ritual for watching LGR videos. I usually work late on Fridays, so I’ll get up around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="510">8:30</a>, get ready for the day, and I go to my local upscale grocery store for breakfast (they make really good breakfast). I come back home, put the new LGR video on, and eat my breakfast. It’s always a nice moment of solace that puts me in a good mood for the day. I’ve been doing this exact routine almost every week for 10+ years (back when he would upload on Mondays and sometimes 2x per week) Anyway, thank you Clint for that 20-45 minutes of zen each week

I remember first watching your channel around 2011-12. Will never forget that funky Streets of SimCity review I saw as a kid, back when retro games began to fascinate me and way before they started costing crazy amounts of cash!

Congratulations on 15 years of LGR things, Clint! I've been a fan and supporter for much of that and agree with you that your videos just keep getting better and better. Whether you're covering a game or piece of hardware that I owned as a kid (or in some cases still own) or something I've never heard of (LGR Oddware is always a highlight), it's just a joy watching your content. I'm glad to have been along for the ride. Here's to the 15 so far and many more years of LGR to come!

Thanks for the 15 years of learning and entertainment and Clint, I appreciate you!

First LGR video I ever watched was Clint's Tech Tales episode about Digital Research, largely because he mentioned it when he appeared on The Co-optional Podcast. From there I went back and worked my way through every other video on the site and here I am still watching everything LGR. It has been a fine time, for sure. Thank you, Clint. Keep on keeping on!

Feels like I've been on the entire journey with you bro. I remember when you just started, was so good to have a reviewer talk about the things that I grew up with. I'm glad you're still on here, still talking about games, retro things. I wish you all the success for the next 15 years and beyond.

Happy 15 years of LGR and many more to come! Your video about Jazz Jackrabbit was the first of the retro computing and gaming scene for me and I'm still into it all, over 10 years later. You've even inspired me to start my own little channel. So thanks for the great content all these years! :)

15 years? has it been that long already?

It's been an incredible joy to be able to find others who enjoy retro tech like I do. For far too many years I thought I was just weird, clinging to my DOS and Windows 95 machines while everyone else wanted the newest, fastest, shiniest thing. I was practicing my hobby in a bubble. Discovering that there's an entire community of people that share and celebrate my specific form of weirdness has been amazing. I owe a debt of gratitude to Clint Basinger, David Murray, Adrian Black, and countless others.

Found you for Sims video's and loved everything else! Thank you LGR ! I cant wait to watch more of you in the following years.

Thank you for being you, Clint. The vibe of your channel is like coming back home every time you upload. Looking forward to more from you in the future.

I got into your channel maybe 6 years ago, kind of entirely by accident. Same for channels like Techmoan and the 8-Bit Guy. The funny thing is I have no personal involvement with any of these retro hobbies, but I find it fascinating. You might say my hobby is watching videos about these hobbies. In any case, I'm still always excited when I see a new LGR video is up. Love your work Clint, keep it up!

I may not have been watching you for 15 years, but I've been enjoying your content for quite a while. I've never caught a video quite this early and wanted to take the opportunity to thank YOU for your content and many hours of enjoyment watching your videos

Dude, congrats on 15 years! It's so wild to think this channel has been around for so long now. And thanks for the uhhh retro retrospective. I've only dipped my toe in the retro-computing scene over the years (sometimes by necessity) but I can say from my perspective it's become a much more welcoming space in the last 10 years or so and that's thanks in no small part to creators like you. Cheers, looking forward to the 20 year update!

Hey Clint! Thanks for all your work documenting vintage computers and software and whatnot. Your videos have been super entertaining over the years, and you definitely inspired and fed my own passion for vintage computers! So congratulations on the milestone, and I hope you continue to enjoy the hobby (it must feel more like a lifestyle for you at this point!) for years to come!

Bro, I remember when your channel could still be found under the name "Phreakindee". I think that was how it went.

I've been here since very early on and I can say that Clint, I love what you've done and I'm so glad you've been doing LGR all these years.

Thanks for all the LGR memories and thanks for all the AMAZING LGR Birds thumbnails & videos too! ☺️

Thank you for all of the videos over the years! Congratulations on making it this far! I've learned so much through your channel(s). Please keep up the great work!

As someone who is about to turn 22 and has been watching the channel since I was a kid, it’s crazy to see Clint started the channel as old as me!

I was 45 when you started, now 60. Hope we make it to 75. Cheers!

I am so happy that you still are motivated to keep producing more awesome content. I love your channel and you have given me so much entertainment through the years. All the best!

Love your stuff, Clint. Congrats on 15 years. Your channel is definitely one that got me bit by this retro bug so long ago. I remember your 5170 unboxing and was just in awe of how cool that was.

I was expecting a Classic LGR Sipping Drink Intro... But... Nah! Congrats Clint! More Powers!

It is a breath of fresh air to have an older youtube channel like yours still continue to thrive, and the creator still have the passion their fans know them for. Countless channels of old have either been abandoned, forgotten or just have declined in quality. LGR isn't one of them. Thanks for all the great videos you have made so far, Clint. Keep them coming 👍

Your channel is fantastic. Love how it is genuine and no click-bait. Thanks for providing so many interesting videos and reviews!

Clint, man, you've inspired me and so many people over the years with your videos and your passion for vintage computing. I just want to say thank YOU so much for all that you do, introducing people to some of the esoterics of old computers in ways that are otherwise impossible to find. I've personally learned so much from this channel; while I'm essentially the same age as you, I never got to experience the hands-on setup of old computer toys when they were new, and now, here I am building my own replica of the Megaluminum Monster and various other retro projects, experiencing computing of the past the way it was meant to be experienced. So here's to 15 years, and may you continue to find as much joy and happiness in vintage computing as you've given all of us!

Man, the latter half of the video really had me going down memory lane. I've been watching you for a very long time, I remember bonding with my English teacher over your videos. We both realized we watched you and would come to school and talk about your videos! that must have been probably my sophomore year so like 2014-2015. Some of these things I hadn't even really thought about, we really are in a new age. And I'm glad you made it in the end with your channel. Hopefully you still have a lot to give, I'll be watching.

Being a subscriber for 12 of those years is a new life accomplishment

you have been a staple in my youtube watch routine for many years, probably a decade at least. time flies. you've always had such great content.

Happy 15 years! I like your channel for all the interesting info about stuff I never knew much about, and also the way you present and talk about things. It's a very comfy and enlightening place to check out here on KZfaq. Thank you for making it awesome!

15 years of smooth jazz and a soothing voice. Keep it going bud!

Congrats on 15 years! Enjoyed the introspective commentary. I found your channel by searching for old computers of my youth and subscribed immediately.

I wish I'd found you sooner but I'm glad I found you at all. You've become one of my favourite youtubers. Love everything you produce, be it review, restore or retrospect.

Next time you're getting nowhere with a retro printer, just remember how long you've been going and how many regular viewers you have. It's worth it in the end. 😉

Your Sims 3 Reviews are my favorite videos that you ever made. They got me hooked on that game ever since I was a kid 😂

Appreciate you Clint! Thank you for giving me a calm space with fun laughs and sound info. Wishing you success in all your endeavors

I discovered you only a little over a year ago and have been enjoying watching your videos. I'm really impressed that you're still doing your thing, and I'm even envious of you. I'm definitely a fan and hope that you never stop. Cheers.

Been watching LGR for about 10 or so years and coming from North-Eastern Europe, I never had the chance to experience almost any of the retro tech you’ve showcased here, because computers became an everyday thing around here only during this century. So glad and thankful I could see and experience all of this second-hand! The early episodes of Thrifts especially, because our thrift shops only ever had clothes and regular household items, certainly nothing to do with computing. Thanks for everything, Clint, wish you all the best! ❤

You sir, are a living legend, a national treasure, and a real inspiration to all of us who have been here through the years. It was great to meet you at VCF SW this year. Thanks again for making it out. Of everyone doing this kind of work on KZfaq, you are top. Keep going!!!
