8-Bit Donation Unboxing April 2017

[@LGR]

Awesome you decided to do this kinda thing! You receive some fascinating stuff, looking forward to more :)

[@linushyper300]

Perks on being subscribed.

[@Rivers256]

I was gonna say "LGR does this, and people love it, so do it!"

[@トムちゃんだ]

maybe that's because no one knows who you are.

[@TheRetroNobody]

Agreed! Never know what neat stuff you can get.

[@トムちゃんだ]

Dude I was stating a fact... don't take it personal. I made my account to post videos of my family before you could do that on Facebook. The one of me getting a tattoo has more views than most of yours. You're boring. Your channel is boring. 8 Bit Guy and LGR blow you away. Don't get mad, just step up your game.

[@marioff3584]

Next video: "Hey guys i got a Tesla 3 donated to me" :D

[@The8BitGuy]

hahah.. Yeah, I wish.

[@Vilavek]

Worth a try! "Guys I wanted to try to hook this LCD screen up to a Tesla 3 but for the life of me I can't find one anywhere" and see what comes in the mail. :)

[@MasthaX]

After the video is done he got sent 4 Tesla's .

[@sld26t]

More like the 1989 Honda Civic "retro tech"

[@jamiemarchant]

Hay you never know, maybe Telsa will get in touch and let you test drive one for review. :)

[@bengorlich9512]

please a restoration video for the Macintosh 😊

[@The8BitGuy]

It's on the agenda at some point!

[@dereketnyre7156]

A tear down and restoration video(s) for the Mac LC would be cool. Believe that model of Mac lets you use emulator board to run Apple II software.

[@forthwithtx5852]

One of the two Mac's I've owned. Heartbreaking when you spent so much for one and it's almost worthless just a couple years later. It would be fun to see it up and running!

[@ambrosia7924]

I'd be really interested in seeing how you connect it to A modern screen, I just don't have the space for an old mac tube screen.

[@StephenAngelico]

Yeah, I love the restoration videos. In previous videos it was mentioned that the only machines that make it to videos are those with historical significance, so I'm not sure if this Mac has anything to set it apart today.

[@skynetd-termination98]

Excellent channel, and I enjoyed this episode and new series. What I appreciate about you more than the retro tech and your insight, is that you're humble and honest (especially when things don't go to plan.) That's the real world. As a techie from the same generation as you, I look forward to seeing what you have in each episode. I love seeing the C64 and VIC20 videos...brings back some great memories. Keep up the good work!

[@dferr18]

I think this was a really great way to express gratitude to your fans who have donated! Well done 8-Bit guy

[@UselessDuckCompany]

I liked this video you should keep doing this monthly segment

[@McRocket]

Amazing how generous people are on this channel. Really liked the closing music, btw.

[@Rivers256]

Love these kinds of videos, looking forward to the next one!

[@Browningate]

This is the right way to do donation "unboxings." Under 6 minutes and no fluff. Thank you for making this worthwhile. When I first saw the video recommendation, I was afraid that it was going to be another 45 minute snore-fest like other channels have fallen into the trap of doing, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@fedzciulla]

I love this format, it's cool to get surprised while you open the boxes, and must be cool to see the box you sent been open!

[@LancePickup]

Quit thinking we're not going to like certain kinds of videos you do...you rock and I really enjoy your channel! Keep it up!

[@oxycrimson]

I usually hate unboxing videos myself, but yours is different because you never know what is going to be shipped to you and it brings back so many memories. If " Bushcraft Knife Guy" does a box opening without actually using the knife and testing its quality ,it's basically just a Shameless commercial for an item that he's been comp'd and a quick video to up his numbers.

[@anciltech]

Good addition to the channel!2 minute tear downs would be awesome as well. Eevblog does some awesome mailbag segments like this.

[@twocvbloke]

I can't explain why, but watching videos of donations or "mail bags" or whatever they call them is quite fascinating, and the generosity of some people out there is astounding... :)

[@11Argetlam11]

so hello you 6 people that wanted to send their mini NES to him. Don't be sad that he turned your offer down. I would take one :)

[@ManiacKnight]

11Argetlam11 xD me too

[@mikerowsdower9896]

I know I can't even find one and he's like, "Uhm, I'm sure I'll find some use for it." lol

[@gabrieleriva651]

Now the number of Nes Mini in Netherlands is down to 4.

[@MAtukulis]

I would like one NES, please!

[@tallman11282]

I would love to get an NES Classic. Nintendo really messed up with the Classic, way to short of a supply of them. They could have made a lot of money if they had even tried to meet demand but instead it's the resellers who are making the money.

[@GenosetScentia]

You should blur out the tracking information as well, you can pull an address from that information if you call USPS. Love your videos by the way!

[@The8BitGuy]

good to know, I wasn't aware of that.

[@GeneralSnus83]

I noticed that too. To remove those adhesive labels completely, use a hairdryer and when they are hot they peel right off.

[@StephenAngelico]

That doesn't work on all boxes or all stickers. Marker is probably the easiest, though if it's worth the editing effort it could be blurred in post-production.

[@ZubAirT]

Get some duct tape and stick it on the address and tracking number. Way easier that using a marker.

[@StephenAngelico]

Duct tape FTW

[@joshhibbs_nola]

I am from Louisiana and went to college in Lafayette. Good to see somebody from there sending you stuff. 👍🏼

[@tiko8239]

do a restoration of the macintosh

[@DonPedro6901]

I haven't seen such a beautiful handwritten characters since I left school! ;-) And I like very much your tidy wall in the back!

[@lanceyt9982]

Your channel is awesome. It is funny that a guy in Texas is doing a tech show. I am originally from No CA but live in Corpus Christi TX now so it is encouraging to see your channel. Take Care God Bless.

[@memadmax69]

I think the museum idea is awesome. Shareing with the younger kids what we had to deal with.... back then... and how they are so spoiled now... will hopefully get some of them to appreciate stuff like mice for example alot more, while also providing a learning experience. Lates.

[@thejose970]

Love this video idea, cause we can see the new stuff you get and we can give opinions into what we would like to see in a full episode

[@cmonkey63]

Please keep these coming! Also, if you do open a museum of retro electronics, I'll have to buy a house nearby.

[@jruonti]

This is a cool way to acknowledge donations so keep em coming.

[@CorgiAdventurer]

When I first saw your videos KZbin suggested it based on other tutorials I watch. I'm glad I found your channel. I have a ton of retro tech like an old handheld Tandy computer. My first programmable computer was a 75 MHz computer pentium 1, then my cousin gave me a TI-86 in highschool, and my first laptop was the 486 Thinkpad laptop. I still have it and it is still functional!

[@pellaken]

I watch you for you. Pretty much no matter what you do a video on, I'll watch it. These, however, are interesting on their own, so its a double bonus for me.

[@RecordingStudio9]

boring or not, I think it is a great gesture from you to say thanks to donations. Thanks for sharing.

[@EpicLPer]

Here again!

[@Dzonemp]

Somebody gives you their favorite towel and you say you are going to dry your car with it? Outrageous! 1:09 I think you know full well just how important a towel s as per HHGTTG. ;)

[@oxycrimson]

A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellarhitchhiker can have.

[@nikhildabas]

I'm fine with that, as long as the car in question is a Tesla Model 3 that will soon be "donated" to David.

[@OlafGodredsson]

Yeah, that was my favorite towel for jacking off

[@Dzonemp]

What are things you think, but never say. Sometimes you have to ask yourself if this is really something others should know about you?

[@Calz-hi3cn]

Omg it was like a joke

[@Lorfarius]

Great idea for a video, really gives you a chance to show off what fans want to give. Hope you do more!

[@nimsocproductions]

I thought it was cool! it's really awesome to see all the old technology and how it works! keep it up!

[@MartellThaCool]

please create a Blu-ray collection of all of your work on a single disc. I love to see full features such as: full 1080p, BTS, commentary, exclusive content, bonus episodes and liner notes from you and your team.

[@jackfroste]

Great channel for retro tech and retro gaming. Thank you Dave.

[@seppopalvelin3908]

Do a restoration video of that Macintosh!

[@NeilRoy]

It's nice to see some very kind, generous people out there.

[@PJSproductions97]

I think this is a good format for unboxing. each one was quick and nice

[@simontweddle7838]

Can't wait to see the Macintosh LC-II video

[@jessica23claire]

I'd love to see more of these! I'd also like to see that Macintosh restored - I find your restoration videos really satisfying.

[@ancientflounder]

That was very generous of the person to send an NES Classic your way. Make sure to mod that sucker whenever you have the time to hook it up.

[@ChrisCookTech]

Strangely addicted to unboxing videos. Keep this going.

[@KahnShawnery]

That stack of Vic 20 games brings back so many childhood memories.

[@rammes1]

Why we like this is, because we like old vintage stuff! So keep unboxing it.

[@ollys]

great new series. looking forward to more. I'd be happy to take any duplicates you receive off your hands 😆

[@morphinglight]

3:10 That's what she said

[@saturn0660]

ZING!!!

[@ethanherbert207]

rip dick size

[@shelby3822]

morphinglight beat me by 13 hours!

[@throwaway5945]

HahahahhahahhahahHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Calz-hi3cn]

Omg 😂

[@RepTechMedia08]

Still waiting on that model 3 review!

[@musicvideoenhancer]

I liked! Please, keep the unboxing series, it's much appreciated!

[@MadCowOnFire]

I love watching LGRs unboxing donations, so I'm happy to see you're also doing so. :)

[@Wukeywukey]

This was very enjoyable! Looking forward to next month.

[@TheRetroNobody]

Awesome score on the VIC-20 stuff. I need to find one of those RAM expansions.

[@simstash9889]

Its really nice of people to send you all that great gear.

[@iphonetechnomancer5260]

dude your content is so great i love when you upload it makes my day! :)

[@canineclient7006]

Unboxing videos are not boring,especially your favorite youtuber is umboxing

[@TacticalBigBoss]

i am really gald you started doing this more content from your channel for us to consume is never bad please keep up the great videos !

[@robertreynolds5700]

Great stuff, love to see more. Since many of us do not have the older hardware, you could do a segment on dosbox, emulators and the like.

[@astro4355]

Please continue this show! +The 8-Bit Guy

[@monster_king]

And now just wait for restoring the Macintosh....

[@verndogs]

This was way more fascinating that I expected!

[@iandavidwolfe]

Great vid David! I also look forward to when LGR does a donation unboxing vid. Love the content man!

[@peanutismint]

I enjoy these videos, not as much as your regular output but if they're easy to make then I'd gladly watch them in addition to your normal stuff. Oh and also, I know it was only an offhand joke comment but you totally *should* open a vintage computing/electronics museum!!!

[@HasanAslan]

People are awesome for doing this kind of thing. Internet really connects people around the world.

[@Lukeno52]

That Mac, wow... never seen anything so yellowed! It was almost orange at the back!

[@doriphor]

If you open a museum, I'll definitely drop by once I move to Texas! Although I'll probably move to Texas long before your museum opens :p

[@Moonchild1607]

I think it's cool to show viewers contributions to your channel!

[@dysfunctionalwombat]

Looking foward to the video of the Macintosh LC

[@michielvandewijgaart8858]

Always love the unboxing videos

[@mattedj]

Something about seeing this old stuff unboxed that has a time machine effect like nothing else!

[@kowasumono]

I'ts great that you have such a loving community on this channel. Keep up the great work!! :D

[@kowasumono]

Can you review a Chevy Bolt sometime soon?

[@cleb6720]

Love the new series, can't wait to see more!

[@knutove626]

Dude, this new series is cool.

[@verity7650]

Really good, can't wait for next one!

[@user-fc4so8of8o]

Can't wait for that restoration video!

[@thatepicguy001]

I hope you do more in the future.

[@cromulentcommodore5896]

1:09 "don't forget t bring a towel" or "A towel is just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry" and don't dry the bit-mobile with that get a chamois.

[@Wes8761]

Towelie

[@paulanderson929]

Loved it man. The people love you.

[@queencepha]

All of your content is really cool. I'm only 15, so before I discovered your channel the oldest technology I had an interest for was the NES, though my dad has an atari 2600. I've gotten very interested in old electronics thanks to you, and I'd like to learn how to code in Microsoft Basic, if there is a good way to learn it these days. Thank you so much for your amazing content

[@DarkHalmut]

Not many retro game youtubers go back as far into the commodore. Would love to see some of those games given a try. Different input methods, etc.

[@childishbeat]

You could use the USB cable included with the NES Classic Edition to put more retro games onto it and put it into a video.

[@gabrieleriva651]

For a moment i feared it was the 84657th channel to have a LootCrate unboxing...

[@dan_loup]

It looks more like a dave jones kind of deal, except with less bobs and uncles.

[@panpaletkalg2550]

dave jones is duck's guts

[@Komagb]

I like the little drawing/animation at the beginning, I found it clever :-)

[@ShortGuyShadows]

This is a pretty awesome video if I do say so myself. Jupiter Lander and Radar Ratrace were some of my All-Time favorites! :-)

[@RetroAmateur1989]

I love this kind of videos. You should def keep at it.

[@ilikemtrain]

Look forward to seeing the museum :)

[@ObiTrev]

8-Bit Guy + Lazy Game Reviews + Ben Heck + Techmoan = The Retro Guys

[@ironicparadise2289]

I enjoyed it! Keep it up, David!

[@nekomasteryoutube3232]

MONTHLY MAILBOX! Best thing on many channels!

[@frosborg]

I really wanted to see you use the key remover :( Can just imagine all the satisfying clicks that went unheard. Seriously though, a very quick demo might be feasible for those sort of things.

[@mojikarimi5717]

i hope and can see you're away from your vintage musium only step away. thnx for sharing your time and dream with us.

[@compactc9]

If you ever make it up to Denver, I work right next to the Tesla service center for the whole region (I have seen cars towed in from all the states around us) and I know they or the sales store in a Mall near here would definitely let you drive one for review, I'm sure any of their store/dealers (not like a normal dealer, at least it wasn't a while ago) would let you drive one. The only one that really appeals to me is the X and I know thats the most expensive of them.

[@ClaysCastle]

Awesome, I love mail opening videos. These things always fascinate me! :D Keep it up :)

[@thomasandrews9355]

My favorite segment on EEVBlog is the Maiilll bag!

[@AgentMan666]

great video as always. big love from the UK 👍

[@TheBadFred]

I am interested in more of this

[@uelssom]

I have always wanted to see this

[@pngiles8984]

I'd be willing to bet 15% of you had no idea West Virginia was even a state...! I'm glad someone from WV sent stuff to the 8-Bit Guy! & someone from Morgantown no less! Shoutout goes to you, Hayden!

[@pngiles8984]

Hillary Is Evil well, the accent isn't prevalent around Morgantown... however listening to my relatives from Mercer County usually is quite a bit of fun! Feminists don't really exist around here... other than the ones at WVU, there's not a whole lot they can bitch about without getting wrecked by the working class.. LOL

[@wingracer1614]

Sweet, can't wait for the LCII resto.

[@justinisawesome27]

I will definitely watch this new series!

[@RandyFortier]

You must have the fullest garage and/or basement in history!

[@tabxtra7057]

Thank you for making me feel less old. :)

[@NMSpaz]

Might be a good idea to blot out the +4 part of a ZIP+4 code, as the area it identifies is typically quite small.

[@SimonArame]

how small ? smaller than canada's ones ?

[@yorgle]

Man, I gotta start up a vlog. Get all kinds of cool stuff. ... but then i'd have to compete with you and I really don't want to do that. ;) Love your videos! :D
