WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.380 Hello, what's a piece of tech that's very nostalgic to you things that I still have or whatever in my life 00:00:06.380 --> 00:00:12.320 Something you look back on and think oh, wow, that was very nice on my phone my razor my phone 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:21.800 The razor this thing clamped. You know what's very nostalgic a tank electronic electronic, right? Yeah, rice cooker a 00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:27.080 rice cooker at home what I use for Actually, I brought that 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:34.240 Sounds funny. I brought that rice cooker with me to Canada for 13 years. So that's pretty much 00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:39.520 It's got to be the SNES. I absolutely love this nest played it a ton as a kid 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:48.600 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 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:54.000 Plus Tetris attack, I'll say it once I'll say it again 00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:58.680 The wiggler stage soundtrack is the best soundtrack song of all time 00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:04.840 Listen to it. Can I say the Game Boy atomic cup of atomic purple Game Boy color? 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.880 I guess that's retro tech at this point my young man 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.160 Still got lots of life in me the only game I ever had for it was Pokemon yellow 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.960 But I was the first kid in my grade 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.920 6 class To have Pokemon yellow 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:27.600 So I brought it to school and then people were like, whoa, you got Pokemon yellow and Game Boy color here 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:32.360 And then I had to like go to like a lunch meeting for like band or something and my friend was like, oh 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:40.640 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 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.040 so He broke it 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:51.640 He beat the elite for elite for I was gonna say the final four the fantastic four 00:01:52.440 --> 00:01:55.240 Pikachu versus I want to see that. Okay, so 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:01.720 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 00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:07.160 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 00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:13.520 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 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:20.320 The Logitech G5 Logitech G5 mouse and 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.600 Along with that We have this mouse pad over in the main building on in the build corner made by funk 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.560 They've been defunct for a while now and it's like a hard mouse pad 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:43.160 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 00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:47.400 Yeah, that that funk mouse pad. I had like that exact one and 00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:54.520 It just sits over there and from time to time if I'm in build corner and have nothing better to do 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.400 We'll just kind of look at the mouse pad longingly What's the special about it? 00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:05.000 It just things glide along it so nicely in a way. They just don't 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.120 get with soft mouse pads. Mm-hmm, and 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.000 It's sad that the hard mouse pads have kind of 00:03:13.160 --> 00:03:18.760 Gone away In the way that they have because for a while there they were like the hot thing 00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:22.400 I don't know if it would be tech and I don't know if it's a lame answer 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.280 But I had a leapfrog and it was very fun to use 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:33.280 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 00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:38.480 That was a really fun piece of tech for me. Got to be the NES 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:49.040 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 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.680 it was the first game I ever beat seven years old and I had the the folder map that came with it and 00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:02.400 I mean it was 90% empty boxes and my parents had played so much. They'd filled in every 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.880 area on the map Wow, and they had inch sharpie which 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.920 Ladies and gentlemen my parents Inch sharpie and they had burned every bush in the game. They had blown up every inch of rock 00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:20.680 So definitely the NES and and zelda. Yeah, my n64 00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:24.680 That's the first thing it comes to mind. Remember the atomic purple controller 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:34.320 Beautiful that was like Peek peak. What was some of your favorite games on the n64? Oh, I loved mark art 64 00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:38.480 Donkey Kong 64 banjo kazooie 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:43.680 I was too young for golden eye when I got my n64 apparently according to my parents 00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:48.960 Um, but yeah, and then we would like we would rent uh games too from like, uh 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:53.280 Rogers remember that Rogers video 00:04:54.480 --> 00:05:00.400 Yeah, we'd get uh Movie games buzz uh bug's life toy story 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.760 Just a bunch of games and now that i'm older 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.520 I have played golden eye on an n64. It's so fun. It's so fun 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:15.680 But yeah, n64 when I think about it and the the best part about it was knowing that 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.840 Like I love the two controllers because I grew up with siblings. So there's always a controller for someone else 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:26.080 I would just leave it unplugged That's my confession 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.520 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 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.480 My um my orange my translucent orange nintendo 64 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.200 Um, me and my brother had a bunch of games for it like curvy 64 crystal shards 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:51.040 You know zell lockers time smash bros and whatever And one day we uh, we got a game cube for christmas 00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:54.880 So my dad and his infinite wisdom said oh, let's try and trade this in 00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:58.800 Uh, you know game stop wouldn't take it. So he threw it in the trash can in the mall 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:08.240 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 00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:13.040 I'm still very heartbroken about it. So Thanks 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.720 The most nostalgic piece of tech that I can remember. I don't know if I still have it anymore 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:24.400 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 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.720 Using one of these case. I don't know if this is the exact chassis, but anyway, this is my first 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:35.840 Hand me down pc and it was pretty jack. It's very slow. I think it was running Windows me when it was uh 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:44.880 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 00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:47.920 I installed like poppy Linux on it or any like low 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:56.720 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 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:02.320 This computer is like my gateway into like wow playing around with Linux and getting really into tech and stuff like that 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.480 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 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.240 What's a piece of tech that's very nostalgic to you vcr vcr 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.800 Yeah, why uh That's what I started editing on 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:24.800 that was uh Just a piece of equipment like there's nothing quite like it rewinding 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.760 Stuff you can't do these that sounds really dumb 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:34.080 You can't rewind you can't rewind. What do you mean? Well, when you finish watching a video, you just close it 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.720 Yeah, just even dvds you just go back. You don't rewind 00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:42.240 Yeah, yeah, and then uh, you know 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.840 Go into the video store and get in the tape for like 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.000 Friday night Paying the outrageous price 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.000 Just so you can watch it and people complain about Netflix these days. Oh, no renting a video is way more expensive 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.760 Yeah, that was like you're not just paying that subscription fee every month. You're paying it every weekend 00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:10.400 And uh, what are you gonna do buy the video for like five times the price not five times like three times 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.240 It was a good amount. It was yeah, the popular stuff was always more expensive 00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:17.360 Yeah, I mean they had a brick and mortar store. They knew how to pay for 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:21.760 They know that you know, you had to they had to pay for that So yeah 00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:25.920 vcrs vcrs and just tapes in general vhs tapes in general 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.560 I guess my film camera if you come that as 00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:37.200 Attack yeah, because like a lot of like my film cameras. I sold it and then regret it and then bought it back 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:44.320 You know the same things for for my like film scanner, but you have the Nikon like 5,000 ed 00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:48.880 Um, I sold it Same story sold it 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.560 Um, why do you like to film camera so much? I don't know later. It's like analog, you know 00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:03.600 Also because film costs money Every time you press on the shutter it's actually money spending 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:09.200 Yeah, so yeah to make sure it was good every time to make sure you got the moment right you have to make sure 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:20.160 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 00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:24.880 Yeah, so Yeah, I just enjoy like the slow 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.080 kind of like feeling for shooting film 00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:31.280 I guess that's a piece of tech that yeah 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.840 Feel pretty um 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.440 I may think I guess the original apple plotter 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.480 It's a basically a pen and it had two 00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:47.600 Connectors and it would draw instead of you know using a laser printer 00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:54.160 Using your fingers I've ever seen one of those. I think I have yeah, I think I have as a pen plotter 00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:57.440 It's kind of like the original draftsman type person. It does really large 00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:02.880 Uh Format and it can do proper shapes where that was kind of difficult for printers at the time 00:10:03.520 --> 00:10:07.120 Do you have one yourself? I do it sitting in a box is pretty new mint 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.480 We kind of have nothing to run it with because it's super old 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.280 Yeah, it exists in my house somewhere. Yeah 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.480 Where do I begin? Samsung galaxy s1 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:26.160 Oh Yeah, why because it was the first touch screen phone the first Android phone that I ever had 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:34.240 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 00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:38.320 Do you still have it? No, unfortunately not 00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:40.400 I got s2 and I lost it 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.560 First thing that comes to mind is like I have a 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.400 Nintendo DS light I don't know where my DS fat went 00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:55.040 Uh, but I have the one and it was a red and black DS light that came with brain age 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.000 Oh my god, it's such a banger game 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.400 Dude, I was I credit it for why I'm wicked smart today 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.360 Brain age. Yeah, thanks to brain age all those sudoku puzzles and stuff like that 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:14.800 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 00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:20.800 and Bring back download play. That's the coolest thing like why is nobody doing that? 00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:23.680 Give me like a little demo I can send to my friends when I'm playing on a Nintendo switch 00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:27.440 I remember sitting in line for 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:32.160 the midnight release of smash brothers brawl and it was so 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:38.560 Frickin fun because everybody was playing games of tetris. We were playing games of mario kart and not everybody had to have the game 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.760 it's Why aren't we doing this? It sold me on so many games 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.960 I ended up buying so many more games because my friends would have them and I was like download play is awesome 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.000 Well, let's play the real thing. Bring it back. Bring back download play 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.960 It ends 64 controller 00:11:54.400 --> 00:12:02.560 I I have two older siblings And um, I remember playing golden eye with them like as a kid. Do you still have it? 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.320 No, I actually don't know where it is. We like moved a couple times 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.800 Um, it'd be cool if I could find it, but yeah, no idea 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:17.520 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 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.240 And the boys and girls club near our house had a SNES with like a crt 00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:28.480 And I played so much mario on that thing that actually when I saw one on ebay recently 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.880 It was like very clean. I was like, I'm gonna buy that. It's been sitting. I haven't touched it really yet 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.400 Aside from one time, but I will. Oh, did I actually got one? Probably. Yeah 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:43.760 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? 00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:51.760 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 00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:56.320 They're like they'll pick you to like the water park. When is this like what grade like what? 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:02.000 Yeah, you could as long as you're as long as you're okay. Yeah, as long as you're you're not like 00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:06.560 The last was like 18. I think is as old as you can be. Oh awesome 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:15.520 Is pc an acceptable answer? I feel like I've only really grown attached to pc in a way that I feel that nostalgia 00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:21.840 Like let's talk some old hardware suck at 939. Any of those motherboards still around? Not really 00:13:22.640 --> 00:13:25.840 I would build one though. I would build one. I'm going to you know 00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:33.120 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 00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:38.480 Do you still have any like at home? No, I don't keep old tech 00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:43.040 It takes up too much space and doesn't get used as much as I'd like it to 00:13:43.760 --> 00:13:48.960 Which means that when you have to move say for example when you get a new job on the other side of the country 00:13:50.640 --> 00:13:54.000 It's just a little too much to pack up and care about and worry about 00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:57.680 So I don't have any old tech. I don't have anything 00:13:58.560 --> 00:14:01.680 nostalgic Just got my current pc 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:08.480 Game consoles. No Used to have a cool ps2 had the mod chip had all a bunch of stuff sold it 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.760 Without software Ooh, okay. Nostalgic. It's soft. Look at that. It's different. That's a little different 00:14:16.160 --> 00:14:22.000 I've definitely kept some programs that I used way back in the day fraps. I paid for fraps 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:27.040 I don't know how many people you paid for fraps. Yes Still have my install from that. Oh boy
