Hello, what's a piece of tech that's very nostalgic to you things that I still have or whatever in my life
Something you look back on and think oh, wow, that was very nice on my phone my razor my phone
The razor this thing clamped. You know what's very nostalgic a tank electronic electronic, right? Yeah, rice cooker a
rice cooker at home what I use for Actually, I brought that
Sounds funny. I brought that rice cooker with me to Canada for 13 years. So that's pretty much
It's got to be the SNES. I absolutely love this nest played it a ton as a kid
It's on my first gaming memories with Super Mario World And then I used to skip school in high school to play Super Mario with my friends. So it always takes me back holding that controller
Plus Tetris attack, I'll say it once I'll say it again
The wiggler stage soundtrack is the best soundtrack song of all time
Listen to it. Can I say the Game Boy atomic cup of atomic purple Game Boy color?
I guess that's retro tech at this point my young man
Still got lots of life in me the only game I ever had for it was Pokemon yellow
But I was the first kid in my grade
6 class To have Pokemon yellow
So I brought it to school and then people were like, whoa, you got Pokemon yellow and Game Boy color here
And then I had to like go to like a lunch meeting for like band or something and my friend was like, oh
Here give me your game boy. I'm a good Pokemon trainer And so I gave him my game boy over lunch and I came back and like you know to be fair Pikachu was up a couple levels
so He broke it
He beat the elite for elite for I was gonna say the final four the fantastic four
Pikachu versus I want to see that. Okay, so
The the old game boys were not back lit so you couldn't see on an airplane or going through the tunnel or driving at night
So you had to buy an external little light that you plug in the side and it would shine the light and kind of block the screen
You could like bend it and stuff What's killed your battery so fast and your mom got mad at you because you had to buy more batteries
The Logitech G5 Logitech G5 mouse and
Along with that We have this mouse pad over in the main building on in the build corner made by funk
They've been defunct for a while now and it's like a hard mouse pad
Mm-hmm, and that was like the first kind of big gaming purchase I made for some reason about the mouse pad before I bought the mouse, but
Yeah, that that funk mouse pad. I had like that exact one and
It just sits over there and from time to time if I'm in build corner and have nothing better to do
We'll just kind of look at the mouse pad longingly What's the special about it?
It just things glide along it so nicely in a way. They just don't
get with soft mouse pads. Mm-hmm, and
It's sad that the hard mouse pads have kind of
Gone away In the way that they have because for a while there they were like the hot thing
I don't know if it would be tech and I don't know if it's a lame answer
But I had a leapfrog and it was very fun to use
Okay, it was good like you had like the book and then you had the pen and somehow it knew what you were pointing to in the book and
That was a really fun piece of tech for me. Got to be the NES
first game console ever played on My parents had my mom actually had it for my dad after they got married as a christmas present with original gold cartridge zelda
it was the first game I ever beat seven years old and I had the the folder map that came with it and
I mean it was 90% empty boxes and my parents had played so much. They'd filled in every
area on the map Wow, and they had inch sharpie which
Ladies and gentlemen my parents Inch sharpie and they had burned every bush in the game. They had blown up every inch of rock
So definitely the NES and and zelda. Yeah, my n64
That's the first thing it comes to mind. Remember the atomic purple controller
Beautiful that was like Peek peak. What was some of your favorite games on the n64? Oh, I loved mark art 64
Donkey Kong 64 banjo kazooie
I was too young for golden eye when I got my n64 apparently according to my parents
Um, but yeah, and then we would like we would rent uh games too from like, uh
Rogers remember that Rogers video
Yeah, we'd get uh Movie games buzz uh bug's life toy story
Just a bunch of games and now that i'm older
I have played golden eye on an n64. It's so fun. It's so fun
But yeah, n64 when I think about it and the the best part about it was knowing that
Like I love the two controllers because I grew up with siblings. So there's always a controller for someone else
I would just leave it unplugged That's my confession
Wow Or or you know play one single player games too. Have you told them about this yet? No, this is a confession. I am so sorry
My um my orange my translucent orange nintendo 64
Um, me and my brother had a bunch of games for it like curvy 64 crystal shards
You know zell lockers time smash bros and whatever And one day we uh, we got a game cube for christmas
So my dad and his infinite wisdom said oh, let's try and trade this in
Uh, you know game stop wouldn't take it. So he threw it in the trash can in the mall
So so rest in peace to my translucent orange n64 and all of my games with it. That would mean worth a lot right now. Yep
I'm still very heartbroken about it. So Thanks
The most nostalgic piece of tech that I can remember. I don't know if I still have it anymore
Is this bad boy right here the compact basario 5000. So if you guys watch some LTT, we did a sleeper build with micro center
Using one of these case. I don't know if this is the exact chassis, but anyway, this is my first
Hand me down pc and it was pretty jack. It's very slow. I think it was running Windows me when it was uh
Brand new and I was giving it as a hand me down I could have had to leave an xp and this computer is super nostalgic to me because this is how I got really into Linux
I installed like poppy Linux on it or any like low
What's it called? Like not as an intensive operating system on it and I thought hey Linux could be really cool and so this was uh
This computer is like my gateway into like wow playing around with Linux and getting really into tech and stuff like that
um Like nothing's super crazy, but it was like I don't know it really cemented my interest into tech and it was a really really cool experience just like messing around with stuff
What's a piece of tech that's very nostalgic to you vcr vcr
Yeah, why uh That's what I started editing on
that was uh Just a piece of equipment like there's nothing quite like it rewinding
Stuff you can't do these that sounds really dumb
You can't rewind you can't rewind. What do you mean? Well, when you finish watching a video, you just close it
Yeah, just even dvds you just go back. You don't rewind
Yeah, yeah, and then uh, you know
Go into the video store and get in the tape for like
Friday night Paying the outrageous price
Just so you can watch it and people complain about Netflix these days. Oh, no renting a video is way more expensive
Yeah, that was like you're not just paying that subscription fee every month. You're paying it every weekend
And uh, what are you gonna do buy the video for like five times the price not five times like three times
It was a good amount. It was yeah, the popular stuff was always more expensive
Yeah, I mean they had a brick and mortar store. They knew how to pay for
They know that you know, you had to they had to pay for that So yeah
vcrs vcrs and just tapes in general vhs tapes in general
I guess my film camera if you come that as
Attack yeah, because like a lot of like my film cameras. I sold it and then regret it and then bought it back
You know the same things for for my like film scanner, but you have the Nikon like 5,000 ed
Um, I sold it Same story sold it
Um, why do you like to film camera so much? I don't know later. It's like analog, you know
Also because film costs money Every time you press on the shutter it's actually money spending
Yeah, so yeah to make sure it was good every time to make sure you got the moment right you have to make sure
You're framing it correctly exposure for Exposing product correctly. Otherwise, you're just like wasting your own money. So and time like especially when you like scan yourself
Yeah, so Yeah, I just enjoy like the slow
kind of like feeling for shooting film
I guess that's a piece of tech that yeah
Feel pretty um
I may think I guess the original apple plotter
It's a basically a pen and it had two
Connectors and it would draw instead of you know using a laser printer
Using your fingers I've ever seen one of those. I think I have yeah, I think I have as a pen plotter
It's kind of like the original draftsman type person. It does really large
Uh Format and it can do proper shapes where that was kind of difficult for printers at the time
Do you have one yourself? I do it sitting in a box is pretty new mint
We kind of have nothing to run it with because it's super old
Yeah, it exists in my house somewhere. Yeah
Where do I begin? Samsung galaxy s1
Oh Yeah, why because it was the first touch screen phone the first Android phone that I ever had
Oh, yeah, and it was like You know going from like you're Nokia with your actual buttons to that was like for me still the biggest change in any phone ever
Do you still have it? No, unfortunately not
I got s2 and I lost it
First thing that comes to mind is like I have a
Nintendo DS light I don't know where my DS fat went
Uh, but I have the one and it was a red and black DS light that came with brain age
Oh my god, it's such a banger game
Dude, I was I credit it for why I'm wicked smart today
Brain age. Yeah, thanks to brain age all those sudoku puzzles and stuff like that
Um Yeah, that's a big one. I just loved that thing. I have played so many games had so many good times on that
and Bring back download play. That's the coolest thing like why is nobody doing that?
Give me like a little demo I can send to my friends when I'm playing on a Nintendo switch
I remember sitting in line for
the midnight release of smash brothers brawl and it was so
Frickin fun because everybody was playing games of tetris. We were playing games of mario kart and not everybody had to have the game
it's Why aren't we doing this? It sold me on so many games
I ended up buying so many more games because my friends would have them and I was like download play is awesome
Well, let's play the real thing. Bring it back. Bring back download play
It ends 64 controller
I I have two older siblings And um, I remember playing golden eye with them like as a kid. Do you still have it?
No, I actually don't know where it is. We like moved a couple times
Um, it'd be cool if I could find it, but yeah, no idea
Probably the SNES when I was uh, when I was a wee boy My parents would always ship me off to the boys and girls club in summer
And the boys and girls club near our house had a SNES with like a crt
And I played so much mario on that thing that actually when I saw one on ebay recently
It was like very clean. I was like, I'm gonna buy that. It's been sitting. I haven't touched it really yet
Aside from one time, but I will. Oh, did I actually got one? Probably. Yeah
I bought one with the one game that I wanted What on earth is the boys and girls club? You know what a boys and girls club is?
It's like an after-school kind of club thing You like go hang out. It's like pool tables and like I do events like in the summer
They're like they'll pick you to like the water park. When is this like what grade like what?
Yeah, you could as long as you're as long as you're okay. Yeah, as long as you're you're not like
The last was like 18. I think is as old as you can be. Oh awesome
Is pc an acceptable answer? I feel like I've only really grown attached to pc in a way that I feel that nostalgia
Like let's talk some old hardware suck at 939. Any of those motherboards still around? Not really
I would build one though. I would build one. I'm going to you know
We're gonna over there. You have some? Yeah, wait. No, it's downstairs. Never mind. Oh damn it. I thought it was up there
Do you still have any like at home? No, I don't keep old tech
It takes up too much space and doesn't get used as much as I'd like it to
Which means that when you have to move say for example when you get a new job on the other side of the country
It's just a little too much to pack up and care about and worry about
So I don't have any old tech. I don't have anything
nostalgic Just got my current pc
Game consoles. No Used to have a cool ps2 had the mod chip had all a bunch of stuff sold it
Without software Ooh, okay. Nostalgic. It's soft. Look at that. It's different. That's a little different
I've definitely kept some programs that I used way back in the day fraps. I paid for fraps
I don't know how many people you paid for fraps. Yes Still have my install from that. Oh boy
