LGR - Victor V-Saturn & the Fenrir ODE [UPDATED!] (Patreon)

UPDATE: After re-watching the video a few times I became increasingly dissatisfied with the last 3/4 of the video. Far too much echo in that room that made it hard to understand me, plus I was rambling a bit more than I would like and didn't have my thoughts fully formed. So I redid that whole section! Version 2 of the video is now embedded and linked, with everything from 7 minutes onward being completely re-recorded. The content itself is largely the same, I basically took what I was saying off the cuff before and condensed it into an actual script. The video footage is like 95% the same, just muted with a new NON-ECHOEY voiceover. But of course, I also did take the opportunity to add a few tidbits of information, cuz I can't help myself. So all in all it's not an entirely different video, but I think it flows significantly better now. I personally feel way better at least, ha.

Hi there, folks! This week was going to be an off-week while I worked on other projects, including a rather excellent vintage robot. But then I got excited diving into this lovely console from Japan. So here's a video! A simpler one but a fun one, I hope.

It's all about the Victor V-Saturn, a Japan-exclusive release of the Sega Saturn sold by the company better known (to me) as JVC. An LGR viewer recently got in touch offering it as a trade for a boxed computer game I owned, and I was happy to accept since the V-Saturn was a console variant I've had my eye on for years. And the fact that it was modded with a new optical drive emulator, or ODE, was extra appealing since I've never used one. Until now! So this video is a quick overview of the V-Saturn as well as a walkthrough of the Fenrir ODE. And then the rest is just games, heh.

Also, here's something different! So I very rarely do interviews or podcasts, they're just really not my thing. But I was invited to one that seemed unique enough that I thought "hey, why not?" I'd do it for the experience if nothing else. It was The Friendship Onion with actors Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan of The Lord of the Rings fame. Here's the video version of the show, but an audio version is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, and wherever else you prefer to podcast. How odd. Yeah I just randomly got an email a while back saying Billy and Dom wanted to chat about old video games, and well... that was that! This job is surreal at times.

And that is all for this one. I've got a couple days free here before the next Sims 4 expansion pack launches, which I'll actually be covering since it's a full pack and not a smaller piecemeal thing. So expect a review of that next week. In the meantime, I'm gonna try and mentally prepare myself for the ordeal, ha. Have a good week and thank you for your ongoing support, I appreciate it!
