Edutainment games on LGR? In 2025?! Yep!
It's been a busy couple of weeks here to say the least. Mostly due to enjoyable things happening IRL, but also because making videos is predictably unpredictable! All kinds of things ended up dela...

Sorry that I couldn't post this episode of LGR early like usual! This is a new product (still technically unreleased publicly) so the press embargo I was under prevented any coverage until today.
That said, I really hope y'all enjoy this...
2025-03-06 20:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, all!
I've had a number of folks asking if I'll be able to attend any conventions this year, what with the post-hurricane home repairs and all the nonsense that came with that.
The answer is yes! Although not as many as I'd like.
At the moment I'm confirmed to attend three shows:

Greetings! I have been trying to get some LGR videos made for December, but ideas have mostly been elusive and so far nothing's come together quite yet. It's made especially tricky since 99% of the collection is in storage and I don't have my usual setup going anymore while the house is being fixed up... Though I do have two in the pipeline fina...

EDIT: Added some footage about the console's launch day, a bit about the manual not matching the system, a bit about Swap Magic 3, and trimmed many small things here and there to make it all flow a little tighter.

Unfortunately LGR will be postponed for a good while I feel.
More details to follow but the hurricane has done *incredible* damage to my place, I won’t be able to live there for a bit. Many folks I know have it much worse than I do too so please keep Asheville in your thoughts.
