Lazy Game Reviews had their ninth anniversary last Saturday.
(It's been over two years since I shilled him) Time for a roundup of some of my favorite LGR videos! He reviews games, he reviews old computer hardware, he goes to thrift stores and shows us the treasures that he's found, it goes on from there. Using a 1/2 inch CRT monitor (originally used for an old video camera) as a PC monitor! The MousePen (that is, a mouseball crammed into what looks like an old dental tool. Why? Because they can!) A wrist rest that looks like a loaf of French bread (your guess is as good as mine...) I'll just link to the entire LGR Thrifts playlist here. What will he find in thrift stores that's weird and wonderful?

Someone made a better mousetrap out of junk. Too bad someone threw it away because it looked like junk.

You'll remember when Lazy Game Reviews plugged a keyboard into a cellphone...
Well, now he plugged a USB hub into a cellphone so he can use the keyboard to play an old DOS game from a floppy disk, using DOSBox within Android! Because the virtual controls of a touchscreen stink when trying to play a game that's meant to use a keyboard.

Adam Savage meets a bunch of Totoro cosplayers at Comic-Con.
It's interesting how many ways there are to make a Totoro costume... And apparently the collective noun for Totoros is "cuddle."  Wait for the Totoro/Chewbacca hybrid...

Before electronic calculators were commonplace, if you needed a handheld calculation machine for multiplication, etc. you used a Curta.
See Numberphile cover one of the originals. And last year Adam Savage bought a 3D printed replica, but at 3X size.
