So jelly of some of your finds there. Especially that Quake 2 expansion disc. Probably a lot of free stuff from the internet just put on a CD-ROM though.

I'm glad I chose to support LGR. Stuff like this is so cool to me. I'm not really sure why, but I enjoy randomness like these videos.

Nice shorts. Any frozen food coupons?

The video works perfectly for me. Probably just took a while?

Hey, Question what is a VCD?

This series started as such a small random thing and now these are like my favorite videos of yours! They make me so happy and I don't even know why~

Wow, if that's what an actual janitor's closet looks like, then no wonder Roger Wilco was able to sleep through the initial Sarien attack!

Happy to hear it :D Really am surprised this has gone over so well, you're not alone in saying this may be your favorite thing I do

Damn, I want to visit similar stores so much. But there is absolutely nothing like it in Siberia. Not even "yard" sale equivalent. Only if you look via online services similar to craiglist, but stuff there is hugely overpriced and rarely game related. But anyway - great episode! Love them, keep them coming~!

Now I have the problem with s-video that most modern TVs don't support that anymore. And for consoles that don't have Component already this sucks, there is always the abillity of RGB still but RGB kinda sucks, it is to sensetive for anything, plus a good cable cost allot. And making them yourself, well the plug on the console is ever a pain even for consoles like the Genesis which has a absolut standard plug. And well rewiring a scart plug is also a bit of a mess, but you can do it quite nicely even you have to fit some giant capacitors in it. But I ever think, why the fuck do those new TVs over here not evne Support S-Video over the Scart Plug. Old tvs did it why not one ones. How is it in Amurika? Do you also miss the S-Video connectors on your modern TVs?

Thank you for your answer on VCD. I did some research and found the following: Video CD A Compact Disc (CD) format introduced in 1993 that holds full-motion video. Developed by Panasonic, Philips, Sony and JVC, a Video CD (VCD) holds 74 minutes of VHS-quality video and CD-quality sound using MPEG-1 compression. A Super Video CD (SVCD) format was later introduced that used MPEG-2, but playing time was reduced to as little as 35 minutes. Introduced three years before the first DVD players were available, VCDs did not catch on in North America, but were popular in Asia. Video CDs can be played on many CD-ROM and DVD drives as well as CD-I and 3DO players. Specifications for this format are defined in the "White Book." See DVD. Video CD Resolutions VCD SVCD NTSC (30 fps) 352x240 480x480 PAL/SECAM (25 fps) 352/288 480x576

Man, it really stinks that people sell empty game boxes to goodwills. I'm confused, however, as to why they (goodwills) would purchase it in the first place, but I don't work at a goodwill, so... Anyway, here's to another great LGR - Thrifts!

LazyGameReviews

Well, that's not how Goodwill works. It's a charity that receives and sells whatever people donate to them. They'll sell just about anything that someone donates and it's pure profit for them, they don't buy anything. But yeah, they also don't put out empty boxes to sell, those are just items that have been stolen :(

So some people stole a couple of game discs from a charity shop? Classy!
