LGR Tech Tales - Y2K (Patreon)
Content
Oh yes, it's time for a tale of tech once again. And this episode is all about the infamous Year 2000 Problem! I cannot believe it's been two decades since all that craziness went down. I vividly remember following all the news and speculation with great interest, both online and off, just absurd times. Even knew a family that built their own survival area below their house, stocked up with food and supplies! I don't recall them ever mentioning it again after January 1st, haha.
This video in particular has been in the works for a couple months now. I've been working on it since Thanksgiving between other things whenever I got the chance. I very much hoped to get it finished by New Years but alas, I kept adding, tweaking, removing, and rethinking large chunks of the whole video. It's been quite the process indeed, as I really didn't know where I'd end up going with the story in the last half. I think it came together nicely though.
More than likely I could spend another two weeks messing with every little detail in this one but I'm cutting myself off today so I can get it posted publicly tomorrow! Got a Sims pack out next week so yep, that's a thing.
Special thanks to my colleagues who lent their voice talents to the episode: The 8-Bit Guy, Gaming Historian, Modern Vintage Gamer, PushingUpRoses, Nostalgia Nerd, Brutalmoose, Ancient DOS Games, and Retro Man Cave!
Also, this is the first LGR video with a few tunes made using the recent synth setup I've been putting together, as you might've seen on Twitter. Not the jazz music of course, but the ambient and electronic tunes during the intro, middle bit, and outro. Nothing too complicated but a fun thing to listen for going forward nonetheless, hehe.
